(From &n occasional correspondent.) The local branch of the H.A.C.B. Society held its half-yearly meeting on Monday, July 13, the president (Bro. J. Fuly) being in the chair. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term: President, Bro. J. Lysaght; vice-president, Bro. E. J. Murphy; secretary, Bro. J. Kennedy (re-elected) ; treasurer, Bro. W. E. Lyons; warden, Bro. J. Kellihcr ; sick visitors, Bros. J. Campbell and J. Brophy ; guardian, Bro. W. Cosgrove: auditors, Bros. J. Gresham and E. Murphy. The retiring president gave an interesting account of the progress of the branch since it was formed five

years ago. Starting with only 15 members, it has steadily progressed and now there are 90 names on the roll book. The increase has been more marked during the past twelve months, the society having benefited to the extent of 30 members. "
