FAREWELL DINNER. HENDERSON, of Caledon [Co Tyrone], on the occasion of his being about to emigrate to America, gave him a farewell dinner on Friday evening, the 16th inst., at the Caledon Arms Hotel, and presented him with a handsome silver snuff-box, having a suitable inscription thereon. The party, consisting of twenty- seven persons, sat down, about 8 o¹clock, to a sumptuous meal, laid out in the usual good style of that very respectable hotel. On the removal of the cloth,
the material being furnished, the usual loyal toasts were drunk, when
the chairman read a short address, and presented the box to their guest,
who returned thanks in terms that shewed the high sense he entertained
of the mark of esteem thus paid him by his friends. After a few toasts
to individuals present, and some general conversation of a desultory
nature, the company broke up at an early hour. |
