FATHER HENNEBERY.

It IB a good number of years since Father Hennebery visited Ashburton,

on one of his tem perance missions, but that mission is

well remembered by many good Catholics, and Protestants too, who appreciated the work he then did. There are many members of the Catholic Church in the Ashburton district who to this day have kept the pledge they then took to the rev gentleman. The Tablet of this week notes the death of Father Hennebery, and gives a most interesting biographi cal sketch of the deceased. The paper gays the Rev Father Efennebery's name is a household word not only in the colonies but throughout the whole of the civilised word. He died of hemorrhage of the brain, brought on by overwork. He was nearly seventy years of age and died at Virginia City on September 19. The story of his life (says the Tablet) reads almost like ii religious romance. He wag a native of Kilkenny County, Ireland, and went over to America when seventeen years of age. He was ordained about the year 1850, and on his ordination became a member of the Order of th Most Precious Blood. During the whole fifty years of his priesthood he carried on the work of preaching missions, and nearly every country under the sun was at one time or another the scene of his devoted Jaborß, In Australia alone he held 126 missions and ministered to the spiritual needs of 40,000 people. In India he held a great many missions, and in Africa he visited every settle meat that was at all accessible to a priest. As might be expected he had many thrilling adventures in the wilds of the Dark Continent and many a hair-breadth escape from wild animals and from the scarcely less savage natives. Fortunately tho Reverend Father kept a diary of his life-work, which is now in the possession of the Rev. Father Tubman, and which will certainly furnish the material for a most thrilling and fascinating bio graphy. As we have said, "Rathe* Hennebery was one of the great pioneers in the work of temperance reform, and his earnest and elo quent appeals will be still re membered by many of our readers throughout New Zealand. It is estimated that in Australia alone he obtained pledges of abstinence from 50,000 people. The funeral sermon of the great missioner was preached by the Rev. Father Tubman, who, we may mention, is a brother of the Rev. Fitber Tubman of Timaru. The Evening Chronicle, of Virginia City, gives a report of the discourse. Father Tubman, as orator, delivered one of the finest funeral sermons ever listened to on the Cometock, Tn his exordium he said that the deeds of men like Father Hennebery should shine im mortal l'ke the stars in the glowing firmament. He rapidly but graphi cally reviewed the laborious life of the dead missionary, his travels and toils amid the jungles of Africa, the burning sands of Australia, and the plague stricken regions of ! ndia. He con cluded with a peroration of extra ordinary beauty, powerful eloquence, and much pathos, during which many a moist eye might be observed in the church. The apostrophe to the spirit of the dead man was particularly fine." The funeral of the veteran missionary was a very large one, the cortege in cluding the members of about a dozen different societies, in addition to large numbers of people who were not at tached to any particular organisation. The great missioner is gone, but he will never be forgotten. He rests from bis labors, but his works do follow him, and in many a home in both hemispheres the name of Father Hennebery will be menioned with love and gratitude for many a year to come.

MOTHER AND DAUGHTER Restored to Health by Ayer's Sarsaparilla. A Grateful Husband and Fattier tells trie Story: *«My wife has all lief life long been subject to rush of blood to the bead and fainting fits. In later years these were more frequent, and her skin became very sallow. She had scarcely any appetite, and it wag not safe to leave her at home by herself for fear of a fainting fit. I may state we had medical advice both in England and here in New Zealand, tbab it did no good, so some months back J suggested that she take Ayer's Sarsaparilla. She protested against it, believing it to be .quackery, tout I purchased a bottle just to give it a trial, and the result was mar vellous Mrs Moul has taken five bottles, and now she is a new creature, My daughter has also begun to use your sarsaparilla for skm, discoloration aarf poor appetite, with considerable success already. I forward you iheir photo by this mail, and you can make what use you' think proper of thl* statement. Yours gratefully, Tois F Mofl, Ty-^Cped, Swanson, Auckland, ST.
