This is a work of which we seal always expect to lee

old man from the west of the county, mil when your
friend Mr. Davis spoke to him and gave him a tract,
be thanked him and said " lam very pleased to be
here to-night, and you are Mr. Davis, I suppose ; I
em very pleased to see you. I had a son in this militia
and he left it two years ago; and when he earns
bask he cott,d tale of nothing but this room,
and Mrs. Bingham's kindness, and Mr. Davis visiting
the men and talking to them, and giving them treats,
and of the addresses be had heard here • he wont into
the militia one of the biggest reprobate. in England;
since he left he has become a changed man,
and now I have set him up in business
with twenty cows, and he is doing well."
Ones more then I have great pleasure in welcoming
you to Dorchester. I trust that I need not remind
you of the duty of attending carefully to the rules of
this room, but that I may take it for granted that as
Englishmen you will be proud to show Mrs. Bingham
that you value her kind attention to your comfort,
and let me advise you not to lose this opportunity of
gaining what instruction you can from Kr. Davis. If
you neglect to do this now, the time will come when
you will remember his kind anxiety for Tour good
only with regret ; if you avail yourself of it, it may
be of everlasting impel-tenet to you. And now, wishing
you fine weather for your training and health and
strength for the work, and trusting that when it is
over the Colonel will have Oilloa to be proud of hie
regiment, I bid you weleotneto Dorchester. And may
God bless this work and labour of love, and you in
the enjoyment of it,—(applause.)
Colonel BINGHAM tendered their thanks to Mr.
Pears for his address, and expressed • hope that they
would remember his word' not only during the train-
ing. but all their lives through.
After singing "Glory to Thee, my God, this night,"
the men resumed their games and various occupations-
The following is the present oumerioal strength of
