(From our own correspondent.) January 15. At the half-yearly meeting of the H.A.C.B. Society the following officers were elected :— President, Bro. J. Sims; vice-president, Bro. C. Costello ; secretary, Bro. J. Hickey (re-elected) ; treasurer, Bro. M. Healy (re-elec-ted) ; warden, Bro. P. Lundon ; guardian, Bro. M. Lyons ; sick visitors, Bros. Costello and Twomey. The Society is at 'present' in a very healthy position, having on the books 70 members, and over £200 to its credit in the bank.

During the absence of the Rev. Fathers Regnault and O'Connor from the parish, owing to the clergy's retreat, the Rev. Dr. Kennedy, of Meanee, will take their place. A wedding which created a lot of interest on account of being a double one, was celebrated in St. Patrick's Church on Tuesday. The contracting parties were the Misses Lucy and Elii7abeth Kent, of Waimate, and the Messrs J. and C. Yenning, of Timaru. The ' Rev. FaUier C. Yenning (brother of the grooms) performed the ceremony, assisted by the Rev. Fathers Regnault and Tubman. (A report of the ceremony appears elsewhere in this issue.— Ed. N.Z.T.)
