kind manner in which they had received the toast,
it showed the good feeling that existed between

hearts, and their mouths, and talk of those
things which were for the welfare and pros-

tea years that the volunteers bad been enroded he
was pleased to say honorary members had supported
them in the most liberal manner, Ile (Colonel

of the corps would do their drill earlier in the year.

year. He was pleased that so large a number as SG
, persons represented the town of Pole; be wished
