You came into, for instance, what was almost an unbroken forest, and you have seen and helped to make "the wilderness bud and blossom as the rose." Your cattle now graze where the wild beast had his lair. You have given over the sickle for the cradle, the cradle for the reaper, and the reaper for the binder. Amid all this change has been a father's honor and a mother's tender love. In fifty years you have seen much of our country's progress, in all those years you have kept our common name` unsullied ; you have been, we are proud to say, loyal and worthy citizens, and among all the treasures you have handed down to us, our choicest inheritance is the memory of your virtues. We have Iived. to hear your friends speak well of you, and to see you in the em- brace of their esteem. N-Ve know that those years have not been all sunshine and we are pained to think now that we have been the cause of so much of the shadow. Still we would assure you that we have appreciated the many sacrifices offered so willingly on our behalf, and we now seek the privi- lege of giving you a pledge of our con- tinued devotion and love. We assure you that you still live in our affec- tions and that you will continue to live there as long as we shall live. Three of our number are out of the ranks, having "crossed the bourne whence no traveller returns." If it be possible we feel sure they are sharers of our joys to -day. In presenting you with these gold watches and chains we trust you will value them not for their intrmsie worth, but as a pledge of our fidelity, a token of our love and a tangible -.expression of our best wishes for many more years of happy life together. May the One who has spared you so long to enjoy each others company, spare you yet ruany years—"e'en down to old age"—and then, in the fulness of time, open for you "the gates into the City."
