The Roman Catholic mission services, conducted in the church here by tlie Revs. Fathei. Hegarty and Magnan, have been very largely attended daily for over a week. On Sunday evening, at the final gathering, the church was crowded, people coming from all parts of the district.

The usual monthly meeting of the Lawrence Athenaeum Committee, held on Friday evening was attended by Messrs M. Fraer (president).' Arbuckle, M Kinlay, Chalmers, Stenhouse; B V™e' Jo^ston, and the Revs. Jolly and Roth- «. -cm. ™ annual meeting was fixed for Friday, the sth. The report and balance sheet submitted by the sub-committee were received and adopted. From the former I glean, inter alia, that there are 132 subscribers at 10s 6d per annum; that 194 books, at a cost of Lsl, have been added to the library during the year making a total of 4537 volumes; that 5389 books have been issued to subscribers, of which 4862 come under the head of fiction. One hundred and seven visitors have signed the book kept for that purpose. There have t^J 2 c°mmitt?\p?eting S , all very fairly attended. Some slight improvements have been made to the reading room and the interior of the building, including books, <_c, thoroughly cleaned. Ihe income from all sources amounted to L 245. and the expenditure L 235. The balance of assets over liabilities is about I__oo. Messrs.Clark and M'Kerrow were most fancied for nomination to the Education Board by the committees iv this district, and they will probably receive the largest number of votes from here. For the third place honours will bt divided by the other candidates, who will all noli a few. *
