telligence of the death of the wife of the

the program The gathering was of a
social and agreeable character. The pri-
vate intercourse between our party and
the citizens in passing around the city
had been free and unrestrained, and one
is struck with the thought and attention
their merchants and leading men are Civ

tries. The company appeared to enjoy
Themselves and did not separate until
about midnight.
The obligations of the company are
due to Mr.. Cheney, an American citizen
of Montreal, who met them on their ar
rival, extended every courtesy during
their stay in the city, accompanying
them on every excursion, looking after
details that all was successfully carried
out as planned, and was at the depot on
Thursday morning to see that all were
there, and properly cared for on their de-
parture. His constant attention and
quiet watchfulness was kindly appreciated,
and have made him many warm friends.
The party left at $50 a. m, arriving at
ter long, hot and dusty ride, at the
Memphremagog House, Newport, at 4
o'clock p. m. After 8 substantial dinner,
to which ample justice was done by the
hungry travellers, the excursionists en-
