Invercargill

(From our own correspondent.) June 21. Recently a quiet but interesting and pretty wedding was celebrated in St. Mary's Church, the contracting parties being Mr. J no. MacDonald and Miss Katie Shepherd. Tin- Very Rev. Dean Burke, V.F., officiated. .Miss Rosie * Shepherd was bridesmaid and .Mr. Frank Shepherd best man. The bride was a very popular member of the Children of Mary Sodality, and lias been an active and esteemed member of St. Mary's .Tennis Club for a number of years. Amongst a number of useful and valuable presents was one from the Dominican Sisters—a beautiful picture of Ven. Sister Teresa. Father Woods has returned to Invercargill after spending three weeks in the Lawrence parish. At the last meeting of the Hibernian Literary Society the attendance, though fair, was not up to the average. Some interesting newspaper and magazine articles were read. My attending the meetings regularly members are assured of pleasant evenings; with much profit to themselves. No.matter what the subject may be, something useful, interesting, and instructive can always be looked for from the remarks of the Very Rev. Dean. With regret I record the death of Mr. Peter Mannix, after a short but distressing illness, at the comparatively early age of 29 years. The Hibernians attended the, funeral in large numbers, the officers being pall-bearers. The Very Rev. Dean Burke, V.F., officiated at the graveside. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends is extended to deceased's a"ed parents R.I.P. ° i
