(From an occasional correspondent.) February 14. For some time the Sisters of the Mission and lady friends had been actively engaged in preparing for a bazaar, the proceeds of which were to be devoted to the fund for extinguishing the debt on the new convent buildings. Their work terminated on Tuesday, December 22, when the bazaar was opened in the Drill Hall, there being a very good attendance of the public. Mr. Jas. Boyd, County Chairman, in declaring the bazaar open, congratulated the Sisters and the ladies on the splendid display of goods which they had provided. An inspection of the stalls gave a good idea of the great amount of work done by the ladies in their labor of love. The hall was tastefully decorated with flags (kindly lent by Mr. C. Wilson), and various colored, fans set off the stalls. In the evening action songs. and dances were given by the girl pupils, under the direction of Mrs. J. O’Donnell, and a vocal item by Mr. B. Burland. Miss'Burland acted as accompanist. The bazaar continued until December 26. Those in chaflge of the various stalls were: —Plain and fancy work Mesdames B. and H. Mackle; assistants, Misses M.
