CHIT CHAT .
IT is with feelings of sincere pleasure that we advert to the deeply interesting ceremonies in laying the foundation-stone of the new National Schools , at Ringwood . There was a fervour , freshness , and healthy buoyancy throughout the whole proceedings that is singularly pleasing —affording evidence that a noble spirit of benevolence is alive in that sylvan and somewhat out-of-the-way district of the county , and that Faith , Hope , and Charity have , for a time at least , made it their happy
abiding place . Never were truer words spoken than those used by Bro . Stebbing , when he spoke of the object of the clay as perfectly akin to the purposes of Freemasonry . Never was truth itself more faithfully pourtrayed than in the glowing eloquence of the Rev . Bro . Benjamin Maturin .
