long live to preside over the province where he was so universally beloved and so much admired . The toast was most enthusiastically received and with grand honours . The AA .

, grand honours . Bro . Callender . in responding , thanked the brethren fin- the kind reception he had received , and passed a very high eulogium on the working of the AA . AI . and officers of the lodge , and gave some very judicious advice to the newly-initiated brethren which will not be easily forgotten by them . His address was a great treat , and was listened to with very great attention . Indeed ,

it would be ivoll if the kind and judicious remarks were treasured up by all the brethren present . "The health of the Past and Present Prov .

JL , " in a most graceful manner , and complimented him on the manner in which he fulfilled tho onerous duties of the chair . He had no doubt he would reflect great credit on the lodge , and at the

he should ever have tho good wishes aud affection of every brother in the lodge . Addresses were delivered by Bros . Smith , Prov . G . Purst ., Brett , P . Prov . G . Reg ., Collard , P . At ., and others , all testifying to the well working of the Newall Lodge . Several songs were very creditably sung by Bros . Collard , Atkinson , Thompson , and Beswick .
