The Fallowing from the Toronto
Stat refers to Rev. Beverley Ketchen, I
who was born ou the seoond Cott-

Mrs, Ketchen, and grew to manhood
here. Ile is an Uncle to Mr. Jack
Ketchen, of Breeeiield,
"'But tt still must be said that tite
•scent D. 1), list from Knox Collage
contains one name whose very men-'
ion brings a glow to the !tort of all
who knows its owner. That name he-
ones to the Rev. Beverley Ketchen,
once merely M.A., but now•D.D., and
always and evermore P.G.F., which,
interpreted, is prince of good fellows:
l^or nearly a quarter of a century has
Dr. Ketchen been the minister of Me.,
Nabb Street Presbyterian Church, in
Hamilton, once the pastoral arena of
the fatuous Dr, Ingies, who, like the
Boanergian Dr, Ormiston, left the
precincts'of the Ambitious City for
the boisterous life and 'tabors of New
York. Dr, Ketehen's charge is his
only one thus fat; and from all exist-
ing signs, is likely to and,
his last. lror
let it be said, in one word as brief as
veritable, that Dr, Ketehen is the only
Canadian minister, so far as I know,
of whom it can be said that after a
long span of years there is not a man,
woman or child in his congregation
who is not prepared to hang to hien
with both hands, It is probably this
that reconciles him to a lifetime spent
in Hamilton, despite many an op-
portunity to escape. Indeed, I have
heard him say that he enjoys that
cool, sequested vale—which would in-
dicate that, had Dr. Ketehen been of
the same faith as Bishop Fallon, he
would have probably, sought a monas-
tery nor found it tedious. In all seri-
ousness Dr. Ketchen's eccentric
experience of something approach-
ing aa almost idolatrous affec-
tion from his lowg'' suffering con-
gregatieti, no elder diluting, no deacon
diminishing it, is almost unexampled
in Canadian ecclesiastical annals. Yet
and nevertheless, he has only himself
to blame for it. He is but reaping
what he has seditiously owed. Clear
cf intellect, fastidious in the discharge
of duty, discreet in bearing, candid in
i tender
i dsh nd
I in Erten
faithful P„
doctrine, t
4
and true in every humat relationship,
,
modest in deme'an'or and ataturai in
everything, Dr. Beverley. Ketchen
might well expect, though he has
never sought, a personal and •profes-
sional popularity Which comes to but
•t few men in any generation, to still
fewer in an age so mercurial and ca-
pricious as our own. His life, while
not spent upon celestial heights, has
yet been of the happiest because of
the most useful, and most rich in the
compound usury of love. Therefore,
while we congratulate all of these
newly -arrayed half-dozen Presbyter -
len .divines, we especially felicitate this
earnest and untiring Hamilton minis-
ter whose distinction reflects even
more credit upon those who gave than
upon him who has received. We have
net been privileged to 'speak with Dr.
Ketchen since this increment of nom-
^nclattire has overtaken him, but we
i
doubt not that we shall find him ser-
ene
ene amid the music of this imposing
phrase of 'Doctor of Divinity.' Long
ire this he has appraised the values of
decorations from without, the higher
worth of those repairs and adorn-
ments which in silence and in struggle
'ire wrought from within. He doubt -
'Ess has bethought himself that the
very greatest cannot be 'thus adorned
—that the Great Commoner could not
nave afforded to be called Lord Glad-
uone; that the greatest preacher of
'tis century could not have afforded to
'te called Dr. Spurgeon,"

The death occurred in Stratford
chortiy alter midnight, Saturday,
April 28th, of Mr. Joseph T. Carlin,
aged 59 years. Mr. Carlin had been
confined to his home about a month,
but was not seriously ill. A heart at-
tack caused his death, He was born
at St. Columban, son of the late
Thomas Carlin and Bridget Downey,
and for the past 45 years had been
connected with the printing trade in
Stratford. He was of a bright and
pleasant disposition and• had many
friends. Deceased was a tnember of
St. Joseph's Rotnan Catholic Church,
Stratford, o'F the •Kniehts of Colum-
bus, and also of the Holy Natne So-
ciety. He is survived by two sisters,
Mrs. Catherine Harridan and Miss
Margaret Carlin, of Stratford, and
\ors, J. A. McLellan, of Sarnia. The
funeral .took place Tuesday morning.
Resistive Mass was sung at St. Jos-
enh's Church at -9 o'clock and inter-
ment was trade in St. Columban cem-
etery.
CLUBS.
(From Addison's Spectator, pub-
lished 200 years ago.)
Man is said .to be a sociable 'animal,
and, as an instance of it, we may ob-
scrve, that we take all occasions and
pretences of forming, ourselves into
those little nocturnal assemblies,
which are commonly known by the
name of Cltibs. When a set of men
find themselves agree in any parti-
cular, though never so trivial, they
establish themselves into a kind of
fraternity, and meet once or twice a
week upon the account of such a fan-
tastic resemblance. I know a con-
siderable market -town, its which there
was a club of fat men, .that did not
come together, as you may well sup-
pose, to entertain one another with
sprightliness and wit, but to keep one
another in countenance: the room
where the club met -was something of
the'iargest, and had two entrances, the
one by a door of .a moderate size, and
the other by a pair of folding doors, It
a candidate for this corpulent club
could make his entrance through the
first, he was looked upon as unquali-
fied; but if he stuck in the passage,
and could not force his way through
i1, the folding doors were immediately
thrown open for his reception, and he
was saluted as a brother. I have heard
c
d
that this club, though it consisted but
of fifteen persons, weighed above
three ton,

carte to this aecommedation, that the
two bailiffs of tate town should be an-
nually chosen out of the two clubs; by
which means the principal magistrates
are to this day coupled like rabbits,
one fat and one lean,
Every one has heard of the club, or
rather the confederacy of the Kings.
('itis grand alliance was formed a
little after the return of king Charles
II. and was admitted into it men of
ail qualities and professions, provided.
they agreed in the surname .of King,
which, as they imagined, sufficiently
declared the owners of it ,to be alto-
gether untainted with republican or.
anti -monarchial principles,
A e'hristian name has likewise been
often used as a badge of distinction,
and made the occasion of a club.
That of the George's which used to
meet at the sign of theGeorge, on St,
George's day, and ewear before
George, is, still fresh in every one's
memory.
'There are at, present, in several
parts of this 'city, what they eail
StreetsClubs, in which the chief in-
habitants of the street converse to-
gether every night. I remember,
upon my inquiring after lodgings in
Qrmond street, the landlord, to
recotnmend that quarter of the town,
told tae, there was at that time a very
good chub in it; he also told me, upon
further discourse -with him, that two
or three noisy country squires, who
were settled there the year before,
had considerably sunk the price of
house -rent; and that the club, to pre-
vent the like inconveniences for the
future, (tad thoughts of taking every
house that became vacant into their
own hands, till they had found a ten-
ant for it, of a sociable nature and
good. conversation.
The 'Hum -drum club, of which I
was formerly an unworthy member,
was made up of very honest gentle-
men, of peaceable dispositions, that
used to sit together, smoke ke their pipes
it • midnight. The
andsaynothing,tlm g
Mum Club, as I ata informed, is en in-
stitetion of the same nature, and as
great an enemy to noise.
After these two innocent societies, I
can not forbear mentioning a very
mischievous one, that was erected. in
the reign of king Charles II. I mean
the Club of Duellists, in which none
was to be admitted that had not
fought his man. The president of it
was said to have killed half 'a dozen
in single combat; and as for the other
members, they took their seats ac-
cording to the number of their slain.
'There was likewise a side -table, for
such as had only drawn blood, and
shown a laudable ambition of taking
the first opportunity to qualify them-
selves for the first table. This club,
consisting only of men of honour, did
not continue long, most of the mem-
bers of it 'being put to' the sword, or
eafter Ii tl f er its institution.
hanged, a t t t
Our modern celebrated clubs are
founded upon eating and drinking,
which are points wherein most men
agree, and in which the learned and
the illiterate, the dull and the airy, the
philosopher and the buffoon, can all
of them bear a part. The Kit -Cat itself
is said to have taken its original from
a mutton -pie. The IBeef-Steak and
October clubs, are neither of them
averse to eating and drinking, if we
may form a judgment of them front
their respective titles.
When men are thus knit together,
by a love of society, not a spirit of
faction, and do not meet to censure or
annoy those that are absent, bttt to
enjoy one another; when they are
thus combined for .+their own im-
provemene, or for the good of others,
or at least to relax themselves from
the business of the day, by an inno-
cent and cheerful conversation, there
may be something very useful in these
little institutions .and .establishments.
I can not 'forbear concluding this
paper with ti scheme of laws that I
stet with, upon a wall in a little ale-
house: how I came thither, I may in-
form my readers at a more convenient
time. These laws were enacted by a
knot of artisans and mechanics, who
used 'to meet every night; and as
there is something in them which
gives us a pretty picture of low life, I
shall transcribe them' word ,for word.
RUiLES to be observed in the Two-
penny Club, erected in this place,
for the preservation of friendship
and good neighborhood.
I. Every member at his first coming
in shall lay down his two -pence.
II. Every ,tnember shall fill his pipe
out of 'his own box.
S'I'I, If any member absents himself,
he shall forfeit a penny for the use of
the club unless in case of sickness or
imprisonment,
IV. If any member swears or
curses, his neighbor may give bins a
tack upon the shins,
V. If any member tells stories in
the 'Club that are not true, he shall
forfeit for every third lieu half -penny.
VI. If any member strikes another
wrongfully, he shall pay his club for
hila.
VII. I.1 any tnember brings his wife
into the club, he shall pay for what-
ever she drinks or smokes.
VIII, :If any member's wife comes
tc, fetch him home from the club, she
shall sneak to him without the door,
IX. Tf any member calls another a
cuckold, he shall be turned out of the
club.
X, None shail be admitted into tate
club that is of the same ,trade with any
member of it.
X, None of the club shall have
his clothes or shoes made or mended,
but by a brother member,
XII. No nonjuror ,shall be capable
of being a member.
The morality of this little club is
v.ttarded by such wholesome laws and
penalties, that I question not but my
+'ender will be as well »leased with
them, as' he would have been with the
"Leges •Convivales" of Ben Jonson,
the reeulations of an old `Roman club
shed by I ittsitts, or the rules of a
egvmnosium" in an ancient Greek,
