The vicar and his curates assisted in the service, which was a most impressive one.

The popularity of Mr Jones was manifest by the excellent re- sponse on the part of the members to tte testimonial fund out of wjiich a portion was expended in the pur- chase of a gold medal, to be suitably engraved, which would remain a treasured token of the esteem in I which the recipient is held by. his many friends, A very pleasant even-!
