(From our own correspondent.) July ,19 All the Catholic schools re-opened this morning. The attendance is well up to the' average of last quarter. Rev. Mothers Lydorr and Janssens, of the Sacred Heart Convent, left hy first express to-day for the Order's new foundation in Auckland. Rev. Father Hoare, of Christchurch, arrived here today to give an illustrated lecture to the Catholic Young Men's Society to-morrow night, the subject being ' Illustrated Ireland.' The Very Rev. Dr. Kennedy, Rector of St. Patrick's College, arrived in Timaru from Waimate this morning, and is the guest of the Rev. Father Tubman at the Priory. He leaves to-morrow for the north, as the college re-opens on Friday next. Mr. John Jackson, one of the early pioneers of tho district, and a prominent business man, died at his residence, Bank street, on Saturday morning. His funeral, which took place this afternoon, was one of the largest ever seen in Timaru. Rev. Father Barclay, M.A., has been a guest at tho Priory for a few weeks. He gave an instructive and interesting address on ' Cardinal Newman ' before the Catholic Young Men's Society in their club rooms on- Tuesday evening last. He spoke for upwards of an hour, and a hearty vote of thanks was carried by acclamation.
