A special service was held last night at All Saints' Church for the tiiirpbsfc o_ inducting the R_V. S. A. Newth into the cut. rfendered vacant by the resignation of Archdeacon Thorpe. The service, which was a very impressive one, was conducted by His Lordship the Bishop. At its close a social gathering of the parishioners and friends of the Archdeacon assembled in the comfortable room attached to the Church, which is used for the purposes of Church Inatituteand Sunday School. By unanimous consent the Bishop was voted to the Chair, and he opened the proceedings by a feeling AddteSs, alluding to the occasion for which they had met together, that of taking leave of Archdeacon Thorpe. Music, both vocal and instrumental was provided by the members cf the church choir assisted by friends, to vary the programme of the evening. Mr Ashcroft was called npon by the Chairman to address those assembled, and in very kindly words he bade farewell to the Archdeacon in the name of the Sunday School teachers and scholars. After an interval of music, Dr. Boor, as senior churchwarden, in a short but feeling speech, badetheir Pastor farewell in the name bf the churchwardens and vestry, and on behalf of a few friends presented the Archdeacon with a substantial token of their esteem. Archdeacon Thope then rose and said that it was high time be had gone as he had met two or three of his Sunday School scholars in the street the other day who said to him, " Why Archdeacon, we thought yon bad gone." Alluding with much emotion to the occasion which had brought them together, namely tbe severance of the bond which bound the Pastor to his people he reviewed his work amongst them from the period of its commencement to the present time wheu he was partiDgfrom them He spoke warmly of the pleasure it gave him to see amongst them many friends who were not of his congregation, because ifc had always been his endeavor to promote a feeling of Christian unity amongst thera. He felt thankful for the very warm support he had alwaya met with in those co-operating with him in parochial work, and paid a warm tribute to Mrs Thorpe for having supported him with her sympathy and advice in parish matters, and assured them that his famiiv would always look back with affection upon this their flrst New Zealand home. As he knew tbat people were very apt to think tbat clergymen made long speeches he would now close hia by bidding them a very heartfelt goodbye. " Auld Lang Syne" was then very sweetly sung as a quartette with piano accompaniment, and the proceedings closed with a rote of thanks to the Chairman. Professor Andbbson used to perform some astonishing tricks. We have for instance, seen him pour several kinds of wineapparently— out of the same bottle. But we know of far more wonderful bottles than the Professor's. There is the most positive testimony to prove that disorders of the stomach, kidneya and respiratory organs fevers of tfce intermittent and remittent type' and all diseases requiring invigorative treatment, are cured by the agreeable contents of the bottles which hold Udolpiio Wolfe's Sohikuam Aromatic Schnapps.— Advt
