OAMARU.

(From a Cwrcqmident.)

, January 4, IS7S. The following Bros, were appointed at the half-ycarlv meeting of St. John's Branch, No. 76, H.A.C.B.S. :— Bro. Charles Kearn.s, President ; Bro. Peter Shannon, Vice-President ;. Bro. Eugene-McCar-thy, Treasurer ; Bro. Peter M. Morony. Secretary : Bro. James Dunne, ' Warden ; Bro. John O'ltourkc, Guardian ; Bros. John Connelly and Thomas Sullivan, sick visitors. I may also inform your readers that we are on the alert here to try and give the man of the Macandrew and Stout stamp a "warm reception" at the next general election. • The Catholics here are preparing to have their votes registered, 'so as to be able to raise a dust to darken the political horizon of the enlightened secularists of the nineteenth century. I 'don't suppose that those godless-school supporters care much about the Catholic vote of Oamaru, but we will try all we can to use it to theirdisadvantage, and if the old proverb be true that the " last straw breaks the camel's back," one Catholic vote may also be the means of turning the scale, arid leaving a godless secularist out in the cold. I hope my fellow Catholics throughout the length and breadth of New Zealand will prepare to give these gentlemen " a yard of their own measure," by registering their votes. " Union is strength ;" let every one do his part— remembcring-the bundle of sticks— "United we stand, divided we fall." Thiggin Thu ?
