LIVINGSTONE.

(from a correspondent. ) v July 7th. A few friends met on Saturday last, sth inst., for the purpose of bidding farewell to Mr. Anderson, the late school teacher, on his leaving the district for a more lucrative appointment, and, as a mark of their kindly feeling, they presented him with a purse of bank notes. It was humorously remarked that had a larger amount been subscribed, the purse would not have contained it. Great regret was expressed at losing his services ; at the same time, he was congratulated , on his removal to a more populous district. In replying, Mr. Anderson thanked the subscribers most heartily for their cordial and substantial expression of their friendship, and said it was gratifying to find that during his two years' among them he had succeeded in making many sterling friends, notwithstanding the troublous times through which the district had passed, and he should cherish fond lecollections of many happy hours spent with them. Thanking them for the 1 many flattering compliments paid him, he said he should ever take a lively interest in the prosperity of those whose confidence he had gained, although he might be separated by many miles.
