(From an occasional Correspondent,)

'On Thursday, June 21st, the first of a series of entertainments was held in Bt Joseph's schoolroom. The obj'Gt of these entertainments is principally to bring Catholics together to spend a few pleasant hours in each other's company, also to create a taste for the young ipeople to take an interest in Churcb and school matters, and to give them a chance to develop their talents in music, singing, etc. <§reat praise is due to Mr Joyce for the happy thought in instituting teach entertainments, bb they will be the means of promoting a very gfeat amount of good amongst the Catholics,

During the evening refreshments were served round, and every one seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. The following ladies and gentlemen contributed songs :— Misses Harper, Moir, Blomekey, Murphy and Ford; comic songs by Messrs Blomskey, and Boss; vij^in solo, Master Jack Joyce ; song, Maßter W. Murphy ; readings bjiMesers Joyce and Smith. A farce by Messrs Blomskey and Boss concluded a very enjoyable evening.
