At the conclusion of Mr.. MitchellS re-
marks. which were in excellent taste,
Judge CASTOR, with much emotion, ac
knowledged the compliment paid him in
brief speech, and assured his friends
that it gave him much pleasure to know
that he was deemed worthy of so hand
some gift, and that his course as pub
lie officer met with commendation. This
ceremony over, the party partook of an
elegant supper provided for the occasion,
after which the master of ceremonies, in
an unceremOnious manner, called upon
various gentlemen to speak to us various
questions as he saw proper to PROFOUND.

equipped for its duties. The joyous
