CORRESPONDENCE.

N A S E B Y. To the Editor of the Tablet. Tax quarterly meeting of the St. Patrick's Branch, No. 74, of the H. A. C. B. S. was held here on the 6th inst, Brother Brooks, Vice* President in the Chair. After transacting the business of the Society and receiving quarterly contributions, it was proposed and agreed to that the anniversary of St. Patrick's day should be celebrated by holding Athletic Sports and a balL Mr Edward T. Bowes was proposed as an honorary member. The Sports have come off at Inden paddock with pleasure and success,— without a single hitch or a sitigle ease of drunkenness on the grounds. The ball which was afterwards held iv the Masonic Hall was a splendid success, and was patronised by the elite of Naseby, who enjoyed themselves to the wee sma* hours of the morning.— We have a Catholic Church in course of erection here, which, is to be fin ished by 13th April. The Bey. Father Boyer has been most suoceuf ul in his efforts to raise contributions for the erection of the building, and the esteem in which he is held here by all classes of the community is most gratifying.
