Pendergrast, in a few well chosen words, spoke of Mr. Reed as having lived in the district all his life, and of the esteem in which lie and his family had always been held. Rev. Charles Vaughen spoke of the regret felt by many at the departure of Mr. and Mrs. Reed and family. After the singing of "For They are Jolly Good Fellows," and "Auld Lang Syne," supper was served in a taste-fully-decorated supper-room. p During the evening songs were rendered by Mrs. Vaughen and Mr. Bullen, of Bombay.
