The after dinner proceedings were of a very convivial
nature. and the speakers adopted the sensible plan of
being brief said to the point.
" The Royal Family having been toasted,
Dr. PRIDIIan gate "The Bishop and Clergy." It was
due, he reminded them, to the courtesy of the ven. arch-
deacon and the clergyman of the parish that they had
had the use of the .choolroota. There were many who
could re:need:or the archdeacon in his younger .lart, and
he was sure they would all feel that he merited that
retirement from the active duties of his office which he
now clairagd, and he was sure iv, one would grudge it
him. Their Chairman, whose name he had associated
COI the toast, wall return thanks, and to him lie was
sure they would wish health and strength to enable him
to carry on his duties.
The CHAIRMAN, in response, was sure Arehdeacon
Browne took a very lively and heartfelt interest in their
society in particular. and in the order of Ooldfellows in
general, and he knew that it would give him very great
pleasure to learn. as he would take care to report to him,
the very kind way in which his name had been received.
The Rev. Mr. BUTCHER (Independent) also responded.
Every denomination .of the Christian Church was anxious
to promote all that was good and deserving, and that had
