good a heart as say oan in England, and was one whose

delight was in relieving the distreves and administering
to tbe comforts of his fellow erterures—(applause). It
wari twelve years since he (Mr. 7arrer) had come among,"
them, and by his conduct he had won golden opinions
from all living in the neighbourhood. In his position
to the earl they must say be had discharged the trust
reposed in him in • most matiefactory way. If seer

the committee deemed their warmest thanks. With the

Mr. R. PINNER responded, and said, the little trouble

Mr. R. PINNIT begged to Provos* the health of one

The CHAIRMAN said he felt ashamed to stand up on

This concluded the proceedings onnomsted with the
dinner, and the tent was then cleared for the tea, of
which about 700 partook. Each ohild received • large
cake.
The rain to a awhile extent marred the out

lighted on Challow and West hills, and the ruins of the

the event was marked by the presentation of niunilleent
gifts to Numeral eharehes as thankmfferinp for the bless-
ing which had fallen upon the house of Eldon. That
