of flowers and evergreens decked the entrance to mine
hod'. of the Talbot well-Wows hadelrie, whom we
found buely empled prepuing far Id" espeeted
msts. A had 11 o'clock, the didaut sound of male

oon *Per, several of the members of the Simeon
brancli, retrying banners and liap sod preceded by the
Eavt stawer brass band, entered the villa..; and after
a short halt to eschwage friendly greetings with their

branch, and Mr. Wills wee unanimous/7y re-el/Med.
Then followed the election of stewards. The Rev. .7.
Acton suggested that as it was beet for the weiety's
interest, that tlhe duty of.oooducting the business should
he left, as mueb as possible, In the hands of the mem-
ben themselves; the bed way would be for the
members present to propose those they thought Is to
fill the °Mee of stmearda. He aloe inquired whether
as the society was divided into two parts, they could
not have OIDWOR stewards for each Mr. MISOVO7 said
that though suds was the me, yet they only formed
ooe branch conorqueselly, according to dm rulp, they
could only 'bare from three to moan etewerda With
regard to • huh eisettee, he might menthe that for
the first few years they did sleet every year fresh
stewards, hut they foetid co much dilieeity in getting
parties to fill the oMee, that they thought beet to elect
• pericvnent staff of steward., and this plan bad
answered exceedingly welL Served of the
members having spoken favourably of the latter
plan, the stewards were re-elected as follows
For brew. Courtney, Meows. James Trim, Josiah
Coombe, William Mooney, and William Rabbits. For
!Irene Meister, Henry Terry Short, S. T. Short,
and John Applin. The Rev. .1. Acton atm then re-
elected bosomy steward, and Mr. S. Harvey acting
steward for the branch. Mr. Hersey, in returning
