LYDD.

The anniversary of the Hand in Hand Benefit Society was celebrated here on Thursday last. About 80 sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. James Buss of the "George Inn." The chair was taken by the Rev. Chancellor Burton, supported by the Rev. B. Cobb and ---- Cummins, Messrs. T. Buss and F. Finn, &c. The Rev. chairman takes great interest in the welfare of the club and came a great distance to preside on this occasion. He expressed his surprise at not seeing some farmers and graziers at the dinner, and also subscribers to so good an object as the support of the labourer in time of sickness. The evening was spent most pleasantly, and when the chairman left the room he was loudly cheered.
