Nelson

(From our own correspondent.) I am glad to state that the latest advice from Rotorua is to the effect that Rev. Father Finnerty's health is much improved. Mr. W. Shain, who for some time past was professionally engaged in New Plymouth, has commenced the practise of his profession (dentistry) in Nelson. A representative meeting of the parishioners was held on Sunday evening in St. Mary's schoolroom to elect a church committee. Rev. Father S. Mahony occupied the chair. The following were elected members of the committee for the ensuing twelve months:Messrs. L. Frank, Kelly, Burnes, Armstrong, Hayes, and Hosiaux. Mr. Hosiaux was appointed secretary to the committee. Mr. D. O'Leary, 8.L., who unsuccessfully contested West Cork as the Irish Party candidate at the recent Parliamentary elections, is hopeful of the speedy extinction of f actionism in the County of Cork, where, happily, it is only to be found. Writing under date of May 5 to Mr. J. J. Sullivan, Nelson, he says: The cause of unity is making great progress here (Cork), and though we might not be able to entirely clear out factionism at the next election, we will give it a blow from which it will never recover.'
