- . (From our own correspondent.) •• . June 23. The quarterly meeting of the Hibernian Society will be held in Allen’s Hall on Friday evening next, when the nominations of officers for the ensuing term will be received.

- Local contributors m are remindedr. that the names of i ; those subscribing , to the church ; fund will be. announced from the altar on next Sunday week. ' • ■ - At the 8 o’clock Mass on Sunday, which was celebrated by the Rev. Father _Foley a number of girls irom the convent; school, made their First Communion, and in their white dresses and wreaths and veils presented a very \ impressive■ spectacle.. - During the Mass their companions from St. Catherine’s Convent and from St. Joseph’s School sang several hymns. The correct and devotional manner in which the hymns were rendered was most edifying, and reflected credit on the very careful tuition of the devoted Sisters. After Mass the communicants partook ,of breakfast in the convent. The. arrangements were such that will make the happy event live in the memory of those concerned for many a long day. ,
