OBITUARY.

MR. M. O'HALLOBAN. Our Wanganui correspondent writes :—lt: — It is my sad duty to record the death of another of our old settlers, in the person of Mr. Miohael O'Halloran, who breathed his laßt at the residence of Mrs. McMahon, St. Hill street, last Wednesday morning. The deceased was born at Tulla, County Clare, Ireland, in 1820, so that he had reached the age of 79. Arriving in New Zealand 24 years ago, he settled in the Wanganui district, and, since that time, has lived here without intermission. As a citizen, he was generally respected for his many excellent qualities, and particularly for his warm-hearted, generous spirit ; as a Catholic, he was noted for his great love of Holy Faith. Throughout his long life he had been exemplary in attending to his religious duties, and now, let us hope, has gone to receive the great reward. Mrs. O'Halloran died 10 years ago, but there are left j behind six grown-op sons, to whom, in their sad bereavement, the sincerest sympathy is extended. — R.I.P, MISS H. L. LAVEBY. We have much regret in recording the death of Miss Helena Lucy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lavery, of Charleston, which event occurred on December 29. Deceased was 12 years and 7 months old. She received the last rites of the Church from the Yen. Arohpriest Walshe. The Rev Father Costello officiated at the grave. — R.I.P.
