A Festive SupDer.

On Wednesday last, Messrs. VIM.
Osborn, r. o. Hawkins, w. S. Ander.
son, w. T. McGaughey, Horace Full
Ter, and Levi Sutlif, of this place, and
George Perkins, Frank A. Wads-
worth. Peter H. Kaisen, Warren 7.
Walworth, Alfred French, Cyrus T,
Leonard, of the Cleveland Law School,
passed examination by the District
Court then in session here, and were
admitted to the bar.
In the evening some twenty-five in.
vited guests, members of the bar,
county officers and representatives OF
the press, assembled at the Austin
House to partake of an excellent re-
past and congratulate the young law
yers on their new-fiedged honors.
The supper was one of the best it
has ever been bur good fortune opar-
take of. All the delicaeies of the sea-
son loaded the rich board until it fair
ly groaned beneath the weight. Mine
hosts of the Austin House well know
how to tickle the palates of their
guests, and the supper in question was
one of their best.
Supper being over, toasts were next
in order. Below will be found the
regular toasts of the evening:
THE COURT-To whom we are in
debted for those just and equitable
decisions which have ever distin-
guished this Court, and so universally
won the confidence of the bar and
people-may our bench ever be sOably
filled.
Response by Judge Chaffee.
THE BAR OF TRUMBULL COUNTY
Distinguished as it has been in the
past-never was it more worthy of re-
spect and confidence than to-day.
Response by Judge Glidden.
THE CLERK OF THE CoURT-Who
has been the students friend-may the
record Of his life be found as clear and
correct as that which he now keeps.
Response by Edward Spear, Jr.
THE SHERIFF-May his shadow
never grow less.
Response by S. NJ. Laird and D. NJ.
Wilson.
THE CRIER OF THE CoURT-Who
has grown gray in the faithful dis
charge of his duties-long may he cry
upon earth, but never weep in the
world to come.
ResDonse nv I r. Noble
THE PREss-Always a Leader in
progress, the Herald of truth, a Plain
Dealer with all manner of iniquity-
may it ever extend a hearty support to
all Constitutional measures and Chron-
icAe them in a spirit of free and en-
lightened discussion.
Responded to by w. A. Birchard
and I. c. Sherman.
Several volunteer toasts were then
offered-''The Hosts and Hostesses of
,he Austin House." Judge Hof-
man," &C., which were responded to
by the recipients. One peculiarly
amusing was-"MsjOr D. P. Risley-
with an eye always single to the COM
iorts of the inner-man," which was
responded to by MI. Risley in his hap
best strain.
Then followed an interchange of
congratulations and some wholesome
to the young members of the
BAR, now starting out on their profess
ional career. And, reader, on what
10 you suppose these older lawyers, in
heir effort to give good counsel to the
younger ones then present, laid the
most stress? 1t was the simple but
truthful maxim that Honesty is the
,est policy" We can testify that the
egal fraternity is much abused, and if
he recently admitted members prac-
ice what has been preached to them,
he public need have no fears for their
,ood behavior.
After spending an hour or two in
his wise, the Crier of the Court adj
burned the meeting by the usual proc
amatiOn, and the guests departed for
heir homes, all having spent an
greeable evening and one long to be
amembered.
