St. Bathans.

The death of Kedmond Dillion, aged five years, which occurred, at the Naseby hospital, on Friday, the 7th September, cast quite a melancholy gloom over this, small community. The little boy was a universal favourite ani beloved by all. The large cortege which followed his remains to the Roman 'Catholic cemetery at St. Batbans on Sunday -was a striking tribute of regret and sympathy not only to his already over-afflicted parents but other sorrowing relatives. The Rev. Father O'Dea conducted the funeral ..service in his usual impressive manner. -As showing tbe community of feeling I may here state that the Rev. Mr Chandier had arranged if necessity arose to postpone his usual church services and was present at the graveside-when the mortal remains of little Redmond were lowered to.their last resting place.
