their regard for Mrs . Thorpe , and in addition he handed to Bro . Thorpe a purse , which coutained the balance of tho amount subscribed for tho testimonial . In doing so he wished him continued good health , and hoped he might be spared for many years to come among them . Bro . Thorpe

rose with manifest feeling to acknowledge the testimonial . He was quite overcome with tho kind remarks that had falicn from their chief , and felt he was not worthy of the high honours that had been conferred upon him . He thanked Earl Amherst for his kind references to his lato

father , and also for what he had said in regard to himself . He had always received the greatest kindness and consideration from all members of the Province , besides which the Provincial Grand Master had been pleased to recommend him for an appointment in Grand Lodge , an honour

ho had never dared aspire to . Now tho brethren had fi'led the enp to tho brim by presenting him with tho Imndsome testimonial ho had just received at the hands of

Karl Amherst , aud the form in which they had been pleased to present it was particularly gratifying to bim . Ilia wife had always taken a very great interest in Freemasonry aud . if the laws allowed it he had no doubt she would at

pneo become a member of the Order . She was already a Life Governor of the three Institutions , and would fully appreciate this last mark of his brother Masons' kind sympathy . He felt he was deeply indebted to tho Committeo who had been entrusted with tho work of carrying out tho

proposal made at tho last gathering by the Deputy Provincial Grand Master , and hardly knew how ho should repay them all for their kindness . He only hoped he might be able to come among them on many occasions in tho future , and that he might always meet as hearty a welcome as had

been shown him that day . The Rev . Bro . Robinson proposed the toast of the Masonic Charities , which Avai acknowledged by Bro . James Terry . Tbe other toasts included the Visitors , and the receiving Lodge . -These having been duly honoured the proceedings were brought to a conclusion in the usual manner .
