(From our own correspondent.) It is with* regret that I have to announce the death of Mrs. Anthony Mayer, who passed away at the good old age of 80 years. The deceased lady was highly respected by* a wide circle of friends. She was the relict of Mr. lilayer, who left a large bequest to St. Mary’s Church.- — The fortnightly meeting of the Hibernian Society was held last Tuesday evening, when a fair number of members was present. Bro. A. McWilliam, 8.P.P., duly installed the newly-elected officers, and wished them a happy term of office, and urged them to increase the membership and do all in their power to promote the interests of the society. The annual and quarterly balance sheets were read and adopted, and the auditors, Bros. J. W. Miles and A. J. Fitzgerald, reported that the branch is in a healthy condition. The membership now stands at 72 ; the sick and funeral fund has a credit of .£96 6s; the management fund, £6 19s 5d ; and the benevolent fund, £ll 6s 3d. The invitation of the National Directory, Australasia, to members wishing to go Home for the opening of the Irish Parliament, was read, and held over pending further information re concessions.
