(From our . own correspondent.) September 9. A very successful and enjoyable social - was recently held in the Assembly Hall, in aid of the funds of St. Mary’s Schodl. The excellent arrangements made by the ladies’ committee, presided over by Mrs. Williams, greatly enhanced the pleasure of the occasion. The duties of M’s.O. were efficiently carried out by Messrs. J. H. Reidy, Scholium, and Douglas. Rev. Father Murphy (in the absence of Father Lane) expressed pleasure at the financial results of the function, and thanked all who had worked so hard in-the interests of the school. Another recent successful event was the children’s fancy dress social. Mrs. Fitzpatrick adjudicated on the characters portrayed, and allotted the prizes to Misses M. Keany and Z. Marflit, Masters H. Carr and- Munro. St. Mary’s Church was recently broken into and the poor-boxes robbed. The amount stolen is not known, but, as the boxes were lately cleared, the sum cannot have been very large.
