DUNEDIN CATHOLIC YOUNG MEN'S SOCIETY.

The meeting of this Society, held on Friday last, was well attended ; the President, A. H. Norman . occupying the chair. Messrs. M. Dwyer and J. Houlahan, were elected members of the*. Society ; two nominations were also receive d. The business of the evening chiefly dealt with matters concerning the Society only, and being of a semiprivate nature, we forbear to publish it. The suggestion .of the Secretary's re interchanging of essays, &c, with otheT societies was, after some slight discussion, further postponed. In accordance with the rules, it was resolved that the Society receive Holy Communion in a body on Easter Sunday, and the members are requested to be in attendance at the school-room', at 7.30 a.m. on that day. At the close of the business, a number- of excellent recitations, &c, were effectively rendered by some of the members. A dialogue between Bros. J. Daniel and Carroll, a recitation by Bro. Everitt, and reading by Bro. Corrigan, being amongst the best. The classes, under the charge of the Rev. Fathers Larkin and O'Leary, are improving rapidly, and the large attendance is being well maintained. We understand that the Latin text books, so anxiously waited for, have arrived from Melbourne, and may be obtained, either at tlie school-room ot'from Mr. Macedo, Princes-street. No doubt they will be heartily welcomed by the members of the Society, for both the rev. tutors and pupils were labouring under many disadvantages without them.
