MONDAY evening a very.pleaaant
tttait.asms spent at the "Three Friends,"
wheat a popular demonstration was had to
bid goodbye to E. H. Bird, who, for the
past els years has beim the popular almouot-
-.ass•in.ebehranob of 68... ie-si ilswnwo•
si jigs tows.
The chair wee ably filled by Dr. Taylor,
who, after proposing the usual loyal and pa-
triotio tout., paid a higb Lobate to the
sterling qualities ct Mr. Bird, whose gen-
iality and obliging disposition bad endear-
ed him to the mercantile community and
to the professional men of this part of the
oounty. He concluded with a feeling refer-
encia to the ■ ing- of the Lies that have
bound them all to Mr. Bird to the put,
and hoped and believed that that gentle
man, even when removed to the East, would
oocanon•Ily rhinos to the West whim the
son was .shine. and think a little about
the friends whom he had left is the good
old- • toare of Owattw c(t: - • . -- . ..'_••
Mr. Bird, in reply, was visibly affected.
During hi. residence in Goderiob be had
made close friendships, a which

would let for all time. He had endeavor,
• 1 to do his duty on ail coouione, and was
Plowed to know that he had the oonfid.pce
and solemn of those who knew him beset.
No matter where his lot would be cast, his
hart would ever turn with kind affection
to Huron's county town, and its people
would •Tway. have • prominent plane in
his memory.
At this point, in response to a loud o.11,
" The Warrior Bold," was most effectively
riven by Sheriff Reynolds, and when the
let notes ot the robust ',tritons had died
away, the singer was rapturously •ppland•
.d.
" The Bar" was tb:y responded to by
Meagre. Heaton, Holt, Proudtoot, M. G.
Cameron, and Molooald, and the latter
brought down the hon.. when he naively
remarked, that they " would miss the init.
isle of Mr. Bird until ouch time as they be-
came acquainted with the chirography of hie

" I know • Bau
Brink," was the next tot,
and was ably responded to by Messrs. Eliot
and Pangman. Mr. Eliot paid a high tri-

and had every reason to believe that Gat
Fut any more than thr requirements of
the Institution, of which he was se capable
an official, would absolutely require.
