REJOICINGS AT CLENT

On Thursday afternoon the old patishioners over dc
years of age, the bell.riugers, the cottage tenants, and
the farm labourers, to the number of 90, employed by
Mr. Amphlett, were entertained to a sumptuous dinner at
the Vine Inn, client, given by Mr. J. Amphlett, in cow.
memoration of the birth of a son and heir. About threc
o'clock the people heeded by Mr. W. Field's ?dilitary
Band, formed in procession end paraded to the house of
Mr. Bailie, father-in-law of Mr. Amplilett. They then
returned to the Vine Inn. After dinner (which was
served up in a manncr which reflected the higheat credit
on the worthy hostess, Mrs. Jarvis), the chair was occus
pied by the vicar. the Rev. Halls. There were also
present Mr. and Mrs. T. Amphlett, Mr. J. Amphlett, Mr,
Bailie, Mr. Thatcher, Mr. Taylor, Mr. Boughton, Mr.
Haden, and others.

The 'Chairman. in an eloquent speech, entreated the
labouring men of Clent not to do u others of their class
were doing—that was ti strike. They had not yet had
any strikes in that place, and he hoped the day would be
far distant when they should have any. In conclusion,
he had great pleasure in proposing the health' of Mr.
and Mrs. J. A.mphlett, and their. infant son.

The toast wasrdrua with musical linnotTn.
Mr. Amphlett, in responding, said : Friends and neigh-
bours, I thank you very much for drinking our health,.
If anything can give use so much pleasure as meetinguty
fellew-partners thus gathered round a festive table it is
the cause of their assembling, that is, the advent of the
youngster, whose appearance in the world I have invited
you here to celebrate. Neighbours, I may say I love my
parish. I would not change it for any place in England,
and though I know sadly too little of you, its inhabitants,
still I hope in the course of time to know you better. I
have grown up to consider Cleat my home, my wife has
grown op amongst you, and if I have anything to do with
it, my son shall grow up amongst you aho. There have
been Amphletts in this parish for 250 years, and before
then our ancestors the Sparrys were in the parish so
long that no one can tell when they first came. Can you
wonder, then, that I love the parish with which my
family is so closely connected, and that I should so much
rejoice in having a son to keep up the old name. And
not only to myself and wife does the birth of a son give
pleasure, but to my mother also it ins great joy. Ni,
one could have felt more interest in the parish when she
was among you; no one could take more interest in all
that happens amongst you now. And you can well imag-
ine, too, the joy the birth of my son gives my father and
mother-in-law since he is the child of their only surviv-
ing child. We live in a very pretty parish—the prettiest
parish for miles around, and the consequence is that
people come to see and admire this pretty parish, like
men flock round a pretty girl; bat girls and people when
they know they are admired often get their heads turned.
Well, friends, don't let us get our heads turned with ad-
miration, but let as be decent and orderly. Don't let
strangers when they come to see us hear cursing and bad
language, and see cruelty to animals, which 1 ant sorry
to say I have sometimes seen, but let us behave our-
selves well, that strangers may say, "What nice people
the Clent people are ; they deserve a pretty village to
live in.- Well, I can only hope my son will grow up
, good, and appreciate the kind friends and beautiful
scenes amongst which he has been placed by Providence.
And I can &sane you that one of the first things I shell
, tell him when he is old enough to understand it, will be
how his name gave flee to such hearty cheers at the din-
' ner given to celebrate his birth. Lot me thank you again
i for drinking so heartily the healths of myself, nay wife,
and my little son.—ln conclusion he had great pleasure
in proposing the health of his uncle, Mr. I', Aniphlett.
That gentleman having responded in a very humour-
oos speech, the healths of Mr. Baillie, the vicar, Mr.
Thatcher, Mr. Boughton, and Mr. Haden were drunk sad
responded to.

A number of games were indulged in, and the party
was enlivened at intervals by the band, which played
some very choice selections, and a very agreeable day
was spent by all.
