Wine and oil are emblems of that joy and gladness of heart that God gives to all true believers . '
The Rev . Wm . Busfield addressed the meeting . The National Anthem was then sung , and the impressive ceremony was closed . The clergy , Freemasons , and a numerous party , returned in procession to the hospitable mansion of F . Greenwood , Esq ., and partook of a choice luncheon , bountifully provided by the worthy host and hostess . Ample justice having been done to the profusion of delicacies , many
loyal and patriotic toasts were given and responded to by the gentlemen present . The only thing which served to give a kind of melancholy tinge to the prospects of the future was , the consideration that this worthy and highly respected family are immediately about to leave their present residence , and remove to Norton Conyers , near Ripon . This removal will be greatly regretted by all grades of society , and particularly by the poor of the parish .
