OBITUARY.

SISTER MARY BERCHMANS.

At the Waipawa Convent on Christmas Day (writes our Wanganui correspondent) Sister Mary Berchmans passed peacefully away. General regret is felt at the death of so good a Sinter, who, not many years ago, was attached to the Wanganui Convent, and proved an especial favourite with both pupils and teachers. The remains were brought into Wanganui on Wednesday evening, and the funeral took place on Thursday afternoon from St. Mary's Church, the coffin being followed by a large concourse of people. Sincere sympathy is everywhere expressed towards the Sisters of St. Joseph of Nazareth in their sad loss. — R.I.P.

MR. AUGUSTINE GEORGETTI, WANGANUI.

It is with regret that I record the death of Mr. Augustine Georgetti (writes our Wanganui correspondent), which occurred at his residence, Sedgebrook, on Sunday morning, December 24. The deceased, who was 65 years of age, claimed as his birthplace the historic island of Corsica. During his long residence in the district of Wanganui he had been a hard-working, conscientious, and successful settler, respeoted by all those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. The funeral, whioh was largely attended by people from the town and country, took place on Wednesday afternoon. The Very Rev. Dean Kirk officiated at the grave-side. To his widow and family of cix Bons and three daughters the sincereat sympathy is extended in their Bad bereavement. — R.I.P.
