(From our own correspondent.)

July 31. The Marist Brothers’ School is at present closed for the mid-winter vacation, and will re-open on Mondav next, the 6th prox. The members of the Hibernian Band are at present practising assiduously for the South Island Bands’ Association contest, which is to take place at Christchurch in December next. At the 11 o’clock Mass on Sunday the Very Rev. Dean Burke, V.F., referred at length to Socialism, and to the necessity of having Catholic literature in the homes of the people. Mr. Hazleton, M.P., before leaving New Zealand sent a very nice letter from Wellington to the secretary of the local committee, expressing his thanks for the very pleasant time he spent in the Southland district, and assuring a hearty welcome to any of those who had helped the cause should they ever visit old Ireland.
