Occasional Notes .

A Committee meeting of the Dunedin Catholic Association was held on Monday evening last. Mr. J. J. Connor occupied the chair. The members of the Committee reported that they had dispose of a great number of tickets for the Rev. Father O'Malley's lecture, which takes place on Tuesday evening next. The Hon. Sec. stated that since the beginning of the month some of the half-yearly subscriptions had been paid. He regretted, however, to enj that a great many still remained unpaid. The Committeemen expressed the hope that those who h*d not yet paid would see the necessity of doing so immediately/as unless the subscriptions were paid when due the Association could not be supplied with those necessaries which it requires to make it a beneficial institution. Wb desire to return our sincere thanks to the rev. clergy, our subscribers and friends generally on the West Coast for the courtesy and kindness shown by them to our canvasser, Mr. John Murray, on his late tour in their district. We would request of all subscriber* who do not see subscriptions paid by them to one of our agents r forwarded to us otherwise, acknowledged in the Tablet within, at furthest, a month from the date of payment, to communicate with our office, as in such cases it ia more than probable some error has been made. We desire again to remind our readers that on Tuesday evening next, the Rev. Father O'Malley, S.J., will deliver a lecture entitled, " The Wonders of Nature and Art" at the Temperance Hall, Dunedin. The lecture will be in aid of the fund* of the Catholic Association, and as suet alone is worthy of support. The feme of the rev., lecturer moreover, of tehich it is not neoasgary for us to epeak, ntjist avail o itself to draw a large audience.
