glorious result has been attained through the
great beneyolence of its dstingui> he'd members,

mined to give him a testimonial which shall show
their regard, and at the same time be common.
Surate with the popularity he has achieved as an
attentive and accommodating landlord.
A new feature of the entertainment which is
to be given, and which Mr. PrrK1S deserves
credit for originasing-is that the tables will be
ready and served at any hour of the night from
half past 9 TO o'clock,
Thus the tastes and habits of all can be con-
suited, and company can enjoy themselves in
chit chat a. the table, or in dancing in the hall.
We hope the bumper will be full one and
we pledge the reputation of tie Durkee House
will not suffer.
