J. o' Flanagan of Waverley, The deceased gentleman passed' away fifon November 23, and leaves a widow and one son, Dr.- O'Flanagan, of Junee. The late captain, \vh_o "retired from {£he British army some years ago, had. a splendid ' record, aiid served through -the -Crimean- war- and the -Indian Mutijhy. Deceased was a native of Ireland, and was 78 yearsifof age at the time of his death. _ _ (; "-^ ,?-V Su^ da X' 21, his Grace th^ ,/of Melbourne appeariin the>Cath'edral?bn behalf -of the -Sisters -of Mercy ' Central Novitiate"/ -A'scbt^Vale. -> ! In the course of his discourse his Grace said : ' Fully 5000 Calholie children , are being-taught in the • schools -ojS-the--=Si«£e;rs of Mercy in this diocese alone. A- large number ' are'^taught m the dioceses of Ballarat and Bendigo also. o?hese- numbers show how important is the stake at issue — how" vitally the interests of our schools are bound up with the wellb'eing of' this general Novitiate and^Training College.'

Mr. Thomas O'Loughlin, K.S.G., of 'Killarney,' Ballarat, appears to be never weary of well-doing. Recently he presented a fine block of land for educational purposes ! in "East-; .Ballarjat. * At- &-> meeting .-when the.- gift - was*> announced, /his Lordship- -Bishop Higgins said . it"-, was-'fonly another instance of that gentleman's large-hearted generosity in matters that concerned the Church, and 'he desired to express liis lively appreciation of such uniform', liberality. From a reliable source .'(says the Ere'eman's Journal) we learn that a great change is about to Hake' place ; in :i 'the Order of Redeinptorisfcs in Australia."' It "is""stated that "the Very Rev. Father Murray, ,who has .been for a long time in< l charge of ■ St.-Alphonsus' Monastery-; Waratah, has beln promoted to the charge of the Wellington (N. 2.) house* of that Order. Father Lynch 'is to succeed Father Murray, while Very Rev. Father Clune; who is well known in this State, and who was some time ago appointed to the charge of Wellington (N.Z.), has. now been appointed to Perth .(W.A.), house. The likelihood of losing so zealous and able a preacher as Father Murray will cause a pa'rig of regret to the Catholics throughout New South Wales,-* but it is at -least consoling to know that the mother, house at home has seen fit^to. recognise Father Murray's great \£ork in , New, < South Wales, in appointing him to the charge ',qi Wellington."

Every day (say^.the Catholic Press) the Cardinal' "giv^s fresh of hip energy and vitality. "Although 1 entering on l his - 80tli'year; he left Sydney last' : Friday'morningi November 19?" for Goulburn£ where herwas the ofo.Bishop Gallagher till Saturday afternoon,- , ( when, jqu't for JBraidwood by motor car.
