News of the Week.

The Rev. Father Hennebery gained five hundred adherents to the total abstinence pledge at Greymouth where the usual procession took place at the end of the Mission. The Rev. Missionary is now in Eeef - ton. We desire again to remind our readers at Macraes that the llev. Father Sheehan will be present in their district on Sunday next, 28th inst. "We would call the attention of our readers to a portion of the coat-of-arms of His Holiness Pope Leo XIII, which appears in another column. It will be found illustrating an article from our admirable contemporary the Brooklyn Catholic Itovietv, to which we are indebted for the wood-cut from which we have had our picture copied. The star of the house of Pecci, which verifies the title conferred upon His Holiness by St. Malachy, Lumen in Ccelo, will be seen to be very remarkable. Tickets for the portrait of the Rev. Father Hennebery, to be disposed of by art union, in aid of the Dominican Convent Building Fund, may now be had on application at the Convent in Dowlingstreet, Dunedin. Tickets have been issued for the opening of the Catholic Church at I'ort Chalmers, which will take place on May 12th next. Admission to the Church will be free, but a collection will be made in aid of the building fund.
