The Banquet Last Night.

Last night the personal friends of
our distinguished fellow citizen, Ex-
Gov. Jno. G. Brown, gave him a
complimentary banquet at the St.
Giles Hotel. Few men ever enjoyed
more fully the confidence and love
Of his neighbors than Gov. Brown,
and his brief visit home after a pro
tracted absence afforded some forty
or fifty of them an opportunity to
thus express their attachment for
him personally and their apprecia-
ton of his great abilities and
achievements. as well as his many
virtues as citizen, neighbor and
friend. AT nine O'clock the dis
tinguished guest aud his entertain
ers were summoned from the beau
tiful parlors to the dining room,
where a feast tit for the gods was
spread. The decorations were about
the same rs for the Opening ban
quet, but the tables were arranged
in regular banqueting order, with
the Governor seated at the head,
flanked by the President of the ban
quet, Hon. Thos. NJ. Jones, aud
other distinguished friends. just
before wines were served President
Jones proposed Our Guest" to
which Gov. Brown replied in that
eminenLly felicitous manner which
is so peculiar to him on such occa-
siOns, delivered perhaps with q lit
tie more feeling than usual because
OF the surroundings. Here were the
friends of his youth and of his ma
turer years-friends who had been
with him in fields of danger, in
hours of gloom, in the halls of
pleasure, amid prosperity and amid
alversitv. He loves them, and al
ways turns with pleasure aud pride
To recollections with which they are
associated. Inc IaIeness OF the
