TOAS'RN AND !Millen es.
The first toast was "The Queen," in
response to which A. L. Gibson, Reeve
of Wroxeter, led off la the signing of the
national anthem.
"The Governor General,""`He's a jolly
gond fellow."
"The President of the United States,"
drew a reply from Major Crane, who
opened the subject of "Agriculture," by
an original and atnusing aneodote.
"The Army and Navy" was next giv-
en, with the names of several members
of the force. In reply
Col. Ross, M. P. P., said the volun-
teers of Canada were actuated by the
same spirit as actuated the army and
navy to stand up for England; not
agrossive, but defensive. On behalf of
the militia in this section, he thanked
the county representatives for their
liberality to the Huron volunteers.
(Cheers.)
Lieut. Joe Beck said that the volun-
teers of Canada had bean tried and
found true, and called upon Quarter-
master Strachan to speak in reply to the
toast.
Mr. Strachan briefly excused hunself
from making a speech.
The tout of the "County Council,"
came next, coupled with the name of
the Worden.
Mr. Johnston was pleased to be able
to speak in behalf of so useful and intel
ligent a body as the Huron County
Council. He had been a member of it
for five yuan, and ho considered it a
necessary institution. The Reeve of
Grey at ono time pointed out that it cost
but 5 Dents a head of the population to
support the County Council. The As-
sembly had on several occasions sent
its proposed legislation to the County
Council to get the mind of the intelli
Fent men who represented the townships
in that body. The Wardenship was a
proud position to occupy, and unless he
had done well ho would not hare got it.
He trusted that he would do nothing to
reflect discredit on the position. He
then alluded in • witty wayto the fe-
male emytration proposed y the Mar
qui& of Lorne, and hinted that he might
yet act upon the so tions of the Gov
ernnr General, and do his part in one of
the home industries of the country.
(Laughter and cheer
"The County O19cub" were then
tasted __figuratively speaking.
Mr Pieter Adamson, County Clerk,
said the members of the County Council
had always dons their duty and they had
helped to make his deties light during
the eighteen years he had been in Aloe.
(Cheers. )He had never in his municipal
experience had • hard word with any of
the Council, and expected to get on all
right with the new Warden He ailed
ed to our fine gravel roads, and the rail
ways rnnning through the county, ant
acid that Huron stood highest of the
counties of this Province for wealth and
prosperity (Cheer

Gaoler Dickson was glad to he reckon
