A Tea Party under the auspices of St. Joseph's Temperance Society, came off at South West on Monday last, and was attended by about 2000 persons. Divine Service was held at 9 o'clock, at Which the Rev. A. McDonald, Rector of St. Dunstan's College taking for his text the 8th Psalm, preached a most eloquent sermon, and descanted in most vigorous language on the dignity of man in his true state, and the degredation to which, too frequently, he des— cended through intemperance. It is to be hoped that the Rev. gentleman's words, which had a marked effect upon the congregation, or at least that portion of it which could find room in the Church, will be productive of much good.

After Mass, the Temperance Society, numbering many hundreds of young and old, joined in procession with green scarfs and banners, and headed by the City Amateur Band, marched from the Church along the road to the grounds where the tables were being prepared for tea. Dancing, promenading, music from the band, and the wild notes of the bagpipes, entertained the multitude until tea—time, that is about 3 o'clock. The "spread" was of the most varied, as well as of the most substantial kind, and reflected the highest credit upon the taste and skill of the ladies of South West. It is needless to say
