.February 28. Miss W. J. Ralph, who is shortly leaving the district to take up her residence in Auckland, gave a farewell ‘ At home ’ to a number of her friends at her residence in Ralph street, on Monday evening, February 8. As a hostess, Miss Ralph excelled herself, the comfort and enjoyment of her guests being her chief consideration. After an excellent supper had been partaken of, all stood up and sang ‘ Auld lang syne,’ thus bringing to a close a very enjoyable evening. On Tuesday, 16th inst., the usual fortnightly meeting of the H.A.C.B. Society was held in, the schoolroom. At the meeting the advisability of forming a debating - and literary society was discussed and decided upon. Those appointed to hold office were:—Mr. J. Robertson (president), Mr. A. E. Woiwod (secretary), and Mr. T. McGill (treasurer). To be a member of the society does not necessitate one becoming a Hibernian, as membership is open to the whole Catholic community of Huntly— and gentlemen. The membership fee for ladies is Is, and for gentlemen 2s, for the season. Last Saturday, 21st inst., his Lordship Bishop Cleary arrived in Huntly by motor car. On Sunday morning his Lordship celebrated Mass at 8 o’clock, and

preached at the 11 o’clock Mass, after which he formally opened the pew school and priory.
