(From an occasional correspondent.) - October ?* A bazaar was held in the parish hall during the past week in aid of the presbytery fund. The ladies in charge of the various stalls worked most strenuously to make the undertaking a financial success. The result exceeded the most sanguine expectations, and great credit is due to them for their achievement. A sum of nearly £l4O was netted, which is a very creditable amount to be raised in such a short time. The ladies in charge, of the stalls were:—No. 1— Mesdames Drager, Hotchin, Jeffery, and Townley ; No, 2Mrs and the Misses Oates; No. —Mesdames Doherty and Leahy and the Misses Leahy No. 4 Mrs. Kennedy; refreshment stall—Mrs Rogers and the Misses McLaughlin (3). The Very Rev. Dean Mahoney, who was in attendance every night, very heartily thanked all those who assisted in making the bazaar such a great success. He said he was more than pleased with the result. At a meeting of the Men’s Club, held in the clubroom on Sunday, sth inst., Mr. Joseph Dempsey was presented with a beautifully framed diploma for meritorious services rendered to the club during the seven years he has been a member. The president (Mr. B. McLaughlin) made the presentation and, in a few well-chosen remarks, referred to the valuable services rendered to the club by Mr. Dempsey during, the number of years he has been a member. He said that the diploma he was about to present was well earned. Mr. Dempsey, who is in the Postal Department, was recently transferred to Hamilton, and although his transfer means promotion, his fellowmembers are sorry to lose him..
