WANGANUI.

(From our own correspondent.)

February 7. n ov °l} ng *£ the Pr ol ° n ged and serious illness of the Very Vprv Pp? &««' nISn 1S Grac ° the Archbishop has appointed Very Rev Dean Grogan, of Napier, to take charge temporarily of the parish of Wanganui, and he will hive the assistance of Rev. Father O'Sullivan, who, for the past tliree years or more, has been assistant priest to Dean Kirk. This change will afford our beloved pastor a much-needed respite from the worry, and anxiety of administering the affairs of the parish in his delicate state of health, and it is the earnest wish, not alone of his parishioners, but of the people of Wanganui, that at no distant date he will have so far recovered as to take his accustomed place amongst the people with whom he has been so closely connected during the past 27 years. Yen. Archdeacon Devoy arrived here last week, and remained till Wednesday morning, when he left for Meanee. On Sunday, February 1, he preached instructive sermons both in the morning and evening. The Sacred Heart Convent School re-opened on Monday last after a vacation of five weeks. The Marist Brothers' and St. Joseph's Schools settled down for the new year a week earlier. Brother Henrick takes the place of Brother Damien on the teaching staff of the Marist Brothers' school.
