Sister Raymond, Provincial of the Order of St. Joseph in New Zealand, who had been in Temuka during the past iortnight, returns home to Auckland this week. Rev. Father Clcaiy, C.SS.R., haviing concluded the retreat for the Sisters here, left last week for Lyttelton, 'where he will conduct the retreat for the nuns of that town. It is with regret that 1 have to chronicle the death of Mr. M. Council, fifth son of Mr. J. Connell, of Waitohi, who died in the Timaru Hospital on Friday last.
