70 be experiencing a second birth regen
GRAFTON which seems 10 promise the realiza
tion Of this hope.
Tho patriots and heroes Of Scotland anC
Ameriea--Arm as their LOFTY mountains, anC
mighty as their rushing rivers-the admi
ration of the world. To initiate their exam
ample may it ever be the proud ambition o
their oountrymen.
Responded to by Rev. Mr.. Cooley, as fol-
lows:
Mr.. Pre1ident-When called upon to re-
spond to such q sentiment, feel oyerwhelm-
cd by its magnitude, and am ready L
exclaim, 'let this toast be drank in silonce.'
To attempt 10 gather round this festive
board the heroes Of land, all Of whose ma
tive sons are born heroes, is certainly nc
easy task. seatland, the land Of cTaggy
cliffs and bonnie lakes, of Lowland mOorl
and Highland heathers, has produced per
! haps more real heroes than any other spoi
of its size upon the globe.
Her airs 80 Witching 70 the ear, and NOV
ing to the heart, are mainly martial, The
shrill pibTOch which erst of yore, WaE
ever wont to lead her CLANS 10 mortal com.
bat, and which rising above the din Of bat
tie, stirs the soul to deeds Of valor, is but 9
chord Of scotland's heart attained anew
| You all remember the touching story of the
beleagued garrison of Lucknow, how g
Scottish maiden, in the extremity Of the
siege, when hope was almost gone, and the
little garrison were ready to despair of sue
cess---caught with her quick ear above the
cannon's boom, the martial strains of hel
native land, and exclaimed, "the pibroch
she pibrochi the Campbells are coming
the Campbell5 are coming" and then
swOoned ioE joy. (ApPlause)
The speaker referred eloquently to Scottish
men of letters, and to Knox, Wallace, and
Bruce, and concluded thus:
Shall tell you Of hosts of others whose
deeds Of proves have been embalmed in
immol tai verse2 Rather let It suffice to say
what Scotland record is and always has been
she is for the rights of man. And now
when the confused noise OF the warrior is
heard in our once peaceful land, and the
garments rolled in blsod are seen, the sons
ofScotland, true to their ancestral love of
liberty and the rights, are found on the side
of law and order. The Scottish Brigade,
led by Col. Cameron, were in the thickest of
the fght at the first great battle for the
Stars and Stripes The sons of heroes, they
will maintain the honor of their ancestry,
and fight IS braVely for liberty in this land
Of their adoption as in their Highland home.
Music-"Auld Lang syne."
Our Sister Societies.
Mr.. Walton of the st. Georges Society,
being called upon, said;
rejoice to see everybody in such excel
lent good humor when rise. Allow me to
say, ladies and gent emen, that thank you
most sincerely for the honor you have done
me in calling upon me 10 respond to this
toast. For sixteen years, since the first
foundation Of the St. Andrews Society,
have been thus called upon to respond
to this identical toast, and 1 now feel myself
to be q sort of q wheel-horse, as it were, TO
the Institution. have 60 long been identi-
fed with your yearly festivals that I feel as
though were, as near as may be, one of
you. I will, however, ask the eloquent gen
llemen who have preceded me upon this oc-
casion, whether, with all their gift Of Ian
guage, they could get up year after year for
so long period and say anything particu-
larly new or interesting. Mr.. President-I
prize this hour which am now enjoying.
prize 1t because sincerely appreciate the
principles upon Whi3h the st. Andrews So
ciety is founded; principles Of pure bene6
cence, Of charity, Of kindness, of good will
to men. That is why prize it.
SIT is often asked, what good such societies
do? Do they not help us 10 create and TO
foster prejudice which is unkindly towards
this land Of cur adoption? I answer this
by asking another question. Is there in the
wide world ScOlchmsn, or an Irishman, or
Manxman, and last, but not least, an Eng
lishman, who can lay HE hand upon his
heart and say that he loves his adopted
country more becsuse he loves the land Of
his birth less? (Cheers) s....
think that a man owes debt of gratitude
to his country such as e child owes to its pa
rent. You may set it down as a maxim that
he who is false to his own, whether kindred,
friends or country, will not be true to an
other. will conclude with a sincere wish
in which l am sure all present will Join me,
that the dark cloud that now hovers over Us
will soon be dispelled, and that at your Iext
annual festival this rebellion may be crurh-
ed, and the power, might and majesty Of
these United States of America be felt both
by the South and by all the lands upon the
globe.

of the City Council
To the President and Gentlemen of the St.
L
given the city authorities:
His Honor the Mayor, is obliged to forego
the pleasure of meeting with you this even
| ing, but he desires me TO say, that the be-
nevolent societies Of the day seem now to be
as indispensable to the prosperity and hap
piness Of the people, as are wholesome lawa
and efficient public officers. And your time
honored Society, sustained as it is by volun-
tary sacrifice and contributions, merits the
we'll wishes of the whole community for its
great and Whole-souled addition TO the pub
| lie welfare.
will conclude by offering the following
sentiment:
May your Society continue TO increase in
numbers and charitable resources, and re-
tain, as it always has, the best wishes Of all
our citizens.
The President seeing DR.. Robinson, STATE
Senator from CuyshOga present, called upon
him fer few words.
DR.. R., in response, made humorous and
telling speech.
Those present then joined in singing the
"Star Spangled Banner" after which al
adjourned to the dancing room, and ''chaseC
the glowing hours with & Aying,feet" until tbs
dawn in the East warned them that the tint
for separation had arrived.
Thus ended the pleasant and successful
festival of the st. Andrews Society.
