Sir Julius Vogel.

The following appears m the London correspondence of the Otago Daily Twits : Sir Julius Yogel, I regret to say, has been seriously ill. He was visiting his sister, and contracted a severe oold, which ao rapidly developed into congestion of the lungs that he was unable to return home, and his condition soon became very critical. At the beginning of this week it was deemed necessary to call m Sir William Broadbent for consultation with Sir Julius's regular medical attendant. Sir William took a very grave view of the case, and, m point of fact, both doctors virtually gave up all hopes of the patient's recovery. But "he must have wonderful vital and recuperative power, for shortly after this he began to mend, and then made rapid improvement. It was reported that on Wednesday night he had suffered a relapse, and yesterday morning ho was paid to be m imminent danger, but inquiries' m the afternoon elicited the reassuring information that Sir Julius was much better and was going on very .well. Lady and Mies Yogel and the patient's sone, Messrs Hany and Julius Yogel, bave been unremitting m their attention to the sufferer, who also has the test professional nursing. Just before closing, I learn with much pleasure that Sir Jnlius Yogel is a great deal better this, afternoon. He has been able to sit up a little to-day for the first time since the beginning of his illness, and is now considered to be on the high road to complete recovery. - .

In the Springfield Trot, at the races last Friday, our reporter's card was wrongly marked as regards the third horse. Royal Rose was credited with third place, whereas it should have been Master George. The Presbyterian sale of work and produce,, held m th« Orange Hall on Saturday, was the roost successful ever held by the Presbyterian Church here. Only about three-fourths of the goods were sold, and when the Treasurer counted results at the close of the day it was found that £140 had been taken. It is understood that another sale day will have to be fixed to clear off the surplus. Ihe Catholic Bazaar was thronged on Saturday night by patrons, ard the scene was quite brilliant. ; So energetically did the young ladies sell their lottery tickets that when the financial results of the day'n work came to ba counted up, it was found that there were £142, less some coppers, m the treasury. But as the whole of the goods were not sold— not by any means— it was decided to continue the Bazaar for aonther two days, so that the ladies will be at work again to-night aad to-morrow. The Rev. Father Hyland, who has been for . some tima curate of the Catholic Church, has been appointed parish prleßt of Ross, on the West Coast. The Ash burton congregation part with this popular young priest with great regret, and although the notice given of his change of sphere was but short, at a meeting held m the school yesterday. Very Rev Father O'Donnell was able to present to hie departing colleague, m the name of the parishioners, a cheque for £60. The Very rev. gentleman m making the presentation said had the time allowed m which to get up the testimonial been longer, the amount would have run to double, buk as li; was it showed the esteem m which Father Hyland had been held, . and all joined In wishing him God's blessing In his new field of labor. Father Hyland suitably acknowledged the gift.
