TO Me. NEWTON.
The members of theScientific and Lite-
rary Society gave a farewell nipper to one
of their members, Mr. W. le Newton, on
Tuesday evening last, at the residence of
Mr. Armstrong. Mr. Newton has been,
copnected with tbe society front its Incep-
tion, and ban alwa,ye taken a very great
interest in it. A large number of the
Memberwere present, and an exceeding-
ly pleasant evening was spent. Mr, and
Mrs. Armstrong had spared no palm to
make the entertainment successful, and
every word of compliment given utterance
to by the gentlemen present was fully de-
eerVed. AS may be expected, the chief
toast was that of the guest of the evening,
to which Mr. Newton replied in a singu-
larly appropriate manner. He regretted
that he had, to break off the many ties
formed in Clinton, but the inexorable
hand of duty called him(' elseWhere. In
his new sphere, and amongst new friends,
be could never efface from his memory
the remembrance of constant. kindnesses
he received in Clinton, and mnre especial-
ly his association with the memleers of
the society. His address also contained
some excellent advice, and closed with a
happy wish for a prosperous career through
life of these present. All present, in re-
ferring to Mr. Newton, spoke of him in -
the highest teems, and whtist he was
praised for following the line of duty, his
removal was much regretted. The full
list of subjects and spealceredves as fol-
