Good Fellow
A large number Of toasts were afterwards
proposed and drunk, interspersed with songs
and speeches and recitations.
During the evening, Prof. Mcleod was
called out, and recited Young Lochinvar,"
and stated that he had been presented with
badge of the ancient St. Andrews Society OF
AIrSandria, which was worn by Thomas
Milburn in 1865. An uncle OF the speaker was
then President. He reverted TO the fact that
was IT ade up largely of Scotch, was once
thriving city, and gave many interesting
minscsnces of the olden time when ships from
Ale xandria sailed 10 all parts of the world.
Mr.. ]. q. Mcclure followed the Professor,
and by his quaint descriptions Of things in the
days of yore, kept the company in a roar OF
laughter. In those days Alexandria was far
ahead of Baltimore. more trade coming to her
wbarves than to the latter, and vessels con-
stantly plying between that city and all parts
vi the world; but the embargo laid by Jefferson
had destroyed her trade, the Potomac being SO
easily guarded at that time by gunboats,
which have larely become SO popular, that the
trade for q series OF years was shut out en-
tirely; snd Baltimore, which was not SO easily
guarded, received the benefit, got start, and
has optstripprd her former-sompettor.
A custom Of the society Is 10 sing "Auld
Lang Sy ne" about one o'clock a. m and close
the festivities; but on this occasion but part
of the rule was carried out at that hour, the
song being sung, after which the company
continued in full enjoyment around the social
board until near day light, when the last toast
was drank and the company departed, delight
I'd with their nights entertainment.
The following are the officers of the society
for the ensuing year: w. X. Smith, President
II. Il. Todd and Alex. Gardner, Vice Presi-
