NASEBY.

The Rev. E. Koyer came back here on Saturday evening last, from St. Batlians and Blacks, where he had been for the last ten days assisting the Bey. Father Walsh with the Jubilee. He speaks highly of the devotion of the people in those districts, and of the manner in which they prepared themselves for the Jubilee, and he hopes and trusts that the people of Naseby vail be ready in like manner when their turn conies. On Sunday he celebrated Mass at the usual hours 9 and 11 a.m. ; presided at the Sunday School, and after vespers delivered a most impressive discourse on education, reminding parents of the necessity of giving their children good Christian education and of bringing them up in the way they should go,- and when, they are old tney will not depart from it. The examination of the children of the school here will take place on the Bth, 9th and 10th December, and on the evening of the 10th the Bey. Father will give his report on the state of the school, and also a discourse on education. The jubilee will commence here on the evening of the 11th and end on the 19th Dec, with the consecration of the district to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. We expect to s«e some one of .the neighboring priests come to assist the Rev. Father Royer during the jubilee. I shall be most happy after the school 1 examination to send you a full report of the proceedings along with any other item of news worth recording. — Mr. de Lautour has offered himself as a candidate for the representative of the Mount Ida District in the Legislative Assembly, and I believe with every chance of success. I do not think we could get a better man to represent the district ; he is most assiduous and painstaking in looking after anything that may conduce to the welfare and prosperity of St. Bathans.
