THE LATE MR. HUBERT WOLSELEY.
In addition to several Masses offered recently for the repose of the souls of the soldiers killed in battle (says the London Tab let), a Solemn lieqniem Mass was celebrated in the Abbey Church, Fort Augustus, for the same intention. Mr. Hubert Wolseley, who was killed in the battle of Elandslaagte, was formerly a student in the Abbey school. The high altar was draped in black for the occasion, and in the centre of the church was erected a catafalque covered with the Union Jack, and surrounded with lighted tapers. The service terminated with the chanting of the Absolution by the monastic community standing round the catafalque. A considerable number of the congregation manifested their sympathy by assisting at the solemn office.
