Would anyone be able to help me translate a birth record from Ettlebruck, Luxemburg?
It is #85 for Joseph Souvigny. It doesn't follow the usual flow and I'm having difficulty figuring out what it says. Thank you!!

In the year thousand eight hundred seventy, the second

Jean Pierre Schmit, mayor official of the civil status
of the community Ettelbruk, in the canton Di[e]kirch, Grand
Duchy Luxemburg, Claude Muller
aged fifty-six years, director of the Central Hospiz
resident of Ettelbruk, who presented us a child of the male
gender, born in Ettelbruk in the Central Hospiz
yesterday at nine o’clock in the morning from the girl Elisabethe
Souvigey, aged twenty-five years, born and residing in Schifflingen
canton Esch o/a and from an unknown
father and which he [declared he wanted to give him] the first name Joseph.
This declaration and presentation occurred in the presence of Wilhelm
Reisch, aged thirty-six years, senior overseer in the Hospiz
residing in Ettelbruk and of Anton Joseph Allen
community secretary, aged forty-four years
residing in Ettelbruk and both have
with the informant signed the present document,
after it was read to them.

Thank you so much Gina!! I figured the father's name was not mentioned, but now I know for sure! I guess I may never know who his father was...
