The guest of the evening felicitously and feelingly replied to the very kind manner in which his name had been referred to during the even- ing. Though bound by family and business ties to another country to which he was about to return, the kindly references to him this even- ing, the hospitable and whole souled mater in which he had been treated by Mose present and by the Gode. rich people generally, would cheer him in him adopted home and to the some extent would compensate for the loss he would sustain by not be- ing able to reside among them. He felt bound• should opportunity ever offer to reciprocate the honor they had heaped upon him to whatever extent he could,and hoped thd't some of then at least would find time to take a pleasure trip to Oregon where amongst his American friends he felt assured they would find that same "kindness"which makes allithe world akin" shown them as the hig hearted people of Goderich had shown him.

Queen street was the scene of un- usual excitement and activity on Monday night of last week, to cele- brate the marriage of a youth of 85 to a lass of some threescore years. The procession, headed by the town band, after serenading the newly married couple, proceeded to make a vigorous attack, smashing windows,. throwing in cold water, pulling down and setting fire to the lace curtains, . and turning everything toosyturvy. It was undoubtedly great sport, but when the news came next day that the names of those who were present had been taken down it was a subject of grave con- sideration and the general question was—"If a fellow was there and didn't break any windows or nothin' could they do anything with him?" And great were the fears of some when they were informed that if they were in the cpwd they would be liabte•to the punishment which befel the rest. It is hoped, how- ever, that the matter will be peace. ably•sett}ed.
