Mr. J. J. Crofts -proposes to celebrate St. Patrick's Day by delivering a lecture at the Athenaeum Hall, Danedin. The title of the lecture will be ' The Author of Lies," but it must remain for the lecturer to explain what may be his particular acquaintance with so suspicious an individual. This we have no doubt his well-known abilities will enable him to do most satisfactorily. All Irishmen should attend. The course of lectures delivered by the Eev. Father O'Malley, S. J., on " Secular and Christian Civilisation," in Christchurch and Dunedin, has been published and is now on sale. Copies may be obtained at Mr. Macedo's, South Princes Street, Dunedin, and at the N. Z. Tablet office. Every Catholic should read this pamphlet, which will be found amply to repay perusal. We have to apologise to certain of our advertisers for being obliged to hold over their advertisements to our next issue, owing to an accident which occurred to one of our forms when going to press. A new and able Catholic weekly has been established at Sydney. It is named the Express, and we understand it to be under the direct patronage of His Grace the Archbishop. We have much pleasure in wishing our contemporary a career of prosperity proportioned to its very apparent merits. Messrs. Brown, Ewing and Co., Dunedin, have received a large and handsome stock of autumn goods. The customers of the firm and the public generally will find all their wants provided for in a manner to sustain the high reputation of the establishmentjin question. Mr. W. F. Fail, George street, Dunedin, is prepared to execnte in high class style all orders connected with his trade, that of gunsmith, locksmith, brass finisher, etc. Mr. Fail also undertakes repairs in the various kinds of sewing machines. The Wheeler and Wilson straight needle machine kept in stock by Mr. W. Melville, George street, Dunedin, is a new and striking improvement in the sewing machine. It is of moderate cost. All descriptions of machines may be had of the firm, who also undertake repairs. After a Texas jury had stood out for ninety-six hours, the judge got a verdict out of them in two minutes by sending them word that a circus had come to town.
