respect to the town what devolves upon that duty, most
weighty and important. With these observations he
begged to sit down, trusting that the year we have
entered will be one of prosperity to us all. He must say

sympathy and aasisteace in the year now before him.

to any one who served them as Mayor for one year; and
we ought to be doubly grateful to • gentleman who has
served us for two consecutive years. He supposed there
were few, who had not served the office themselves, who
have any idea of the number of the Mayor's duties. All
the official communications had to pass through his

devote • great deal of time to that business. Then the

was called on to assume office—almost a state of revolution.
—when he saw the course they had taken, and how that
question is now disposed of, he congratulated the gentle-
men who sat around that table, and the town at luga, on
what he considered a fairer and juster appreciation of the
of the ciicumstances in which they were placed. But
they could not forget that it had caused a certain position
to be assumed by the power above, which they would

Looking at the result on the health of the town, he had

believed that in doinsenothing, he had done his duty to
the town at large. He thanked the Council, for the
kindly way in which they had assisted him during the
last year of office- He had had a great deal to put up
with: but he felt that the causes were such as the town
was responsible for. He felt he was not to
