Onehunga

* (From our own correspondent.) August 20. The Feast of the Assumption (Sunday, August 15), being the patronal feast of the Onehunga church, was observed as a day of special devotion in the parish. Missa Cantata, celebrated at 10 o'clock by Father O'Byrne, was followed by Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and many attended in adoration throughout the afternoon. The Right Rev. Mgr. Mahoney recited the Holy Rosary in the evening, and presided at the succeeding devotions. A sermon appropriate to the day's observance was preached by Father O'Byrne, after which Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given. The altar, tastefully decorated and illuminated by the Sisters of Mercy and. the excellent rendering of the incidental music' greatly enhanced the day's solemnities. The following are the numbers of successful candidates, pupils of the Sisters of Mercy, of St, Joseph'* Convent, m the recent Trinity College music examinations : Senior pass, 2; intermedate (honors) 1 pass 1; junior pass, 1: preparatory (honors), 1.
