MISS E. MIRRIBLBES, OREPXTKI. Sincere regret was felt in this' district (writes an Orepuki correspondent) when it became known that Miss Eliza Mirrielees had passed away. The deceased young lady, who was only 19 years of age, was attacked with a particularly trying illness some time ago, and althomgh hopes were entertained that she would eventually recover, the end came after much suffering. The funeral took place on Sunday, April 13, when a very large number of mourners from all parts of the district attended. The Very Rev. Father Sheehan officiated at the graveside. Much sympathy is felt by all classes for the parents and family in their sad affliction. — R.I.P.

MBS. O'LEARY, WANGANUI.

(By telegraph, from our own correspondent.) Death has claimed another victim from the ranks of the old residents of Wanganui in the person of Mre. O'Leary, the wife of Mr. Cornelius O'Leary, a well-known and respected citizen of this town. The late Mrs. O'Leary was born in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland, but had passed the last 32 years of her life in Wanganui. She had been suffering for many months, and her death, which was daily expected during the past week, took place at her residence, Argyle street, on Thursday last at the age of 57 years. The deceased was a most practical Catholic, and it is almost needless to add received during her long illness all the consolations which our holy religion affords. A family of eight, the youngest of whom is 15 years old, is left to mourn the loss of a devoted mother, and to them and Mr. O'Leary our sincere sympathy is extended. On Saturday afternoon the funeral took place, in which followed a large concourse of mourners from, the town and country. The Very Rev. Dean Kirk conducted the burial service, and both in the church and at the graveside made feeling reference to the many excellent qualities of the deceased, especially as a wife and mother. —R.I.P.
