"The President Of the United States,u
was the third toast proposed, and to this
Q. II. GAoE, of Pioneer Hose Co., respon.
ded in tasteful speech abiding inciden:
tally to matters connected with the &C
quantance and friendship which had
sprung up between the people, and
more especially the fremen of the,
two places, and hoped that the same
feeling of mutual regard aud reciprocity
might be enhanced and continued forever
Further toasts proposed, to the Mayor Of
East Saginaw, the Fire Brigade of God
erich, The Mayor Of Goderich and the
Firemen from East Saginaw, were
seyerally responded to by Mayor Morn,
Captain GAMBLE, Mayor CAMERON, and
chief Engineer BRowY, with incidental re
marks by Messrs. DErLER, CLIFFORD,
and others music by the Band and songs
by the Glee Club OF this city, helped to
pass away the time pleasantly until near
dark, when the assembly adorned. In
the evening all were invited to an en-
Itertainment by Private Dramatic club,
which many attended; after which nearly
a.! made haste to seek that reposo so
much needed. a terrific rain, hail and
thunder squall caught some before the
had reached shelteer., ~; 10 are told, but roll
cell the next morning found them all on
hand ready for the duties of l
THE SECOND DAY. 1850
! First on the programme for tho 25th
was general breakfast at the Hall,
whittier the fremen repaired and found an
excellent meal in waiting. Second,
parade of the Fire Companies, and throw
ing, which was well aud properly seen to
on the part of sour boys7 by chief En-

to all. 3D., dinners, public and private,
concerning which we would divulge full
particulars had not parties threatened, if
we do so, to throw us into Lake Huron

laneous, 9TH proceeding to Forest Queen
at IL i. NJ. escorted by Firemen of God

of citizens, embarkation, general promul-

departure to the tune of
"Thc girl left behind mo-"
With every man and all the property
aboard; all tired iaded, and worn, on &C
count of the severe campaign endured,
but sound and hearty otherwise and with
out a wound, cruise or scratch. r'
We have already made this notice too
long, but there are many matters left
unnoticed Particularly worthy of men
ton arc Capt. WARD; and Capt. KENYON,
and clerk WALKER, OF the Queen. Their
attentions throughout, and Of the em
ployces under them, were OF the most pc.
lite character. No amount of pertinacity
on the part Of anxious enquirers after
state rooms, hunks or baggage disturbed
the equaninity of the Clerk. No exhu-
bcrence Of fun, or even rude disturbance
of sleep, offended the Captain. They were
bound TO please and they did not fail in
so doing, and thegood steamer behaved
herself rs admirably as hor officers.
The hospitality of the people of Code
rich was unbounded, a volume might be
filed with individual instances, but we
shall only notice few in particular. Al
dorman GRADE, 'the fireman's frendp
over there, opened his house and his heart
and from first to last was "with u.s. in
spirit and in truth. Mr.. WRIGHT, of the
Huron House, not only kept open house
! for the Band and all Firemen but was
most assduous in furnishing us with the
latest papers, of which he takes a general
assortment, American and Canadian
Mr. IRA LEWIS, Capt GAMBLE, Mr..
PINKEkToN, Mr.. DUrFEY, and all the
Firemen, Chief Engineer KiRKDRIGnT,
Capt. CLIFFORD, and the captains of the
Fire King and Q,;eaehes at the head,
were untiriug in their attentions, and
what they did not show us of Goderich
and treat us to Gifts unbounded store of
good living, is not worth mentioning
One other instance we must give as char
acteristic of the feeling maifested: An
elderly Scotch lady seeing two of the
Hose Company passing her humble dwell
ing, called them in and told them they
must take something under her roof
She said her two boys were over here
last cath" and when they returned they
told her that il ever she met an East
Saginaw Fireman, she must treat him to
the best the house afforded. The old
lady produced some excellent strawberry
wine, which "thc boys" partook with
her, and were only allowed to depart on
promise to call again before leaving. o.
In conclusion we will say, by way of
business, to such of our friends hero or
elsewhere as think of spending iniwholc-
somerecreation and for healthg a portion
of the summer, Godcrich goffers induce
ments inferior to no point on the lakes.
High and healthy location, fine scenery,
splendid'roads, fast horses, innumerable
brook trout in the streams adjacent--as
is abundantly attested by the fact that a
sporting party of two, who went with us
caught over five hundred in ono days
tishing-and the best OF meats, fish and
vegetables, and cooks who know how to
serve them up Besides, our friends, fat
