Following this elaborate COLLATION.
came a mental feast. That able, elo-
queut, witty and distinguished member
OF the Oxford BAr,
HON. JOHN 4. swASET,
was introduced as Toast Master, and
/ after dinner speakers were called out m
words weighted with Wit and wisdom.
La opening Mr.. SVasev said that ",
/ had come together for the purpose OF
| celebrating an important event a. this l.
probably The last reunion that We shall
ever hold At Paris Hill. lie paida glow'
/ ing tribute 70 the place and 10 the OK
/ ford Bar. lie said 1T have come To be-
/ lieve that the Oxford Bar Is the Sblesl
/ Bar IN the state, aud Vet there are other
Bars like AHdroscoggiu-but the best
| part of AndrOscoggin County came from
/ Old Oxford and il would therefore b,
strange indeed IL some Of these dOwr
/ river counties should not pattern after
u and be something after all. We have
| furnished our great quota of governors
and congressman, aud Yet We have a.
| large stock on hand according To OUT
population As any county on top tn,
/ earth,
The first toast on the program va,
The State of Maine" 20 which Governor
/ Henry 4. Cleaves WAS expected 10 re-
spond, but was prevented from being
present. hence the following letter wa'
read:
October IA. lS9j
Ii would afford me much pleasure =,
be present al The annual reunion snC
banquet OF the Oxford Bar Association
on tuesday evening, October 18th; but
/ nv engagements are such that find il
impossible 10 accept your cordial invita-
/ ton.
The Bar of the grand old county ol
oxford has always held a prominent
position in the profession, and now IA:
a membership that will continue tC
maintain it, high standard ia the future
regret that cannot be with you.
/ Very sincerely,
