Many wero Iho sentiments offered In tho clrclo of hlscompany bcroro tho final preparation for tho reception of Mm for his departure was complete. This was only tho preliminary to tho grand fete which camo oir later. At 0 p, m. tho banquet was lu proper order and all passed on smooth ly, amidst tho devouring of Iho delicious things that had been prepared by thecoinmlt tee ot arrangements, which consltcd or O, W.

As timo drew closer unto 11 o' clock, toasts wero drank In a profuso manner, and a few brilliant nnd model speoches wore made, which M ere really tulill.no In their na ture. Tho first one was made by Coroner O, W.

A. T. Snyder who made a very reeling and emotional one. By this timo all was gloom, every r.ico betokened sorrow and re gret, because many wero to lose a Just and conscientious friend, ono who In his pulssanco had dono many a favor lor tho majority of tho people or Weissport, hence all this despond ency and gloom. That still whisper and hum which Is supremo ou such occasions stolo tl lently away as tho hero aroso to mako a r.irc- woll rcsponso to tho many ejaculations or friendship, which he, did with inaiiirest cmo tlon and deep solicitude, In tho following words, in substance: "Dear Iriends, this is not tho happiest moment with nhlch I havo been graced with, but ono which at present betokens to mo nothing but darkness and tho unknown features ot a strango country, whith er I am to mako iv pllgrlmago to try my for tune.
