About two hours were spent in re-
spending to ~toasts, regular and volun-
teer, and it was "a long time since we
had heard so much enthusiastic APP
plause, in the same space of time.
The responses, with rare exceptions,
were brief and pithy. Humor seemed
to be the order of the evening, and
there was almost a constant roar of
laughter and the most hearty cheer
ing. The beauty Of it was, that no
ardent spirits were provided, and
everything was conducted in the most
orderly manner. None seemed to be
better entertained than the ladies,
whose frequent bursts of laughter
showed their appreciation of the many
fine ~sallies Of wit. -

bered. Our first visit to hat thriving

oasis in the desert of editorial life in
