repaired to the dining -room to attac
the menu, which, as we are not ver
well versed in the culinary art, w
shall not attempt to describe ; suffic
it to say, it would have done justice t
any Chef de Czcisne. All had fare
sumptuously, and there was ampl
provision left to have done anothe
wedding; in fact, we heard severs
hints dropped among the young peopl
that it would be just as well, when ev
erything was in good shape. An ad
journment was then made to the draw
ing-room. Rev. Mr. West was install
ed as chairman, when an imprompt
program was gone through. After th
chairman had made a few choice re
marks in his usual happy way, he call
ed upon the host, who gave a warm
address of welcome to the assembled
guests. Master Johnnie Hutton gave
a good recitation on "The Old Flag."
Rev. Mr. Wardrope, who, despite the
fact of his having seen nearly eighty
winters, gave a practical and pointed
address. The 'choir, with. Mrs, John

tions throughout the evening, which
id them credit. After amusing them -
elves with games, the guests departed
arly, "keeping elders' hours," accord -

eature of the numerous presents re-
eived was that they partook more of
