A temple where wisdom should sit on the throne, A temple where fraud should be always unknown ! A temple where justice should never be dumb ; And a place for our records for long years to come.
Words fail on my tongue half its beauties to tell, Of its firm granite walls from the basement to bell, Of its spacious apartments where neatness appears, Of its glittering columns and grand chandeliers.

From the tip of the turret to foundation stone Each part in itself is a model alone ; All forming combined (and which none should destroy) A grand thing of beauty, forever a joy.
These things in our hearts should awaken anew A faith in our kind, a resolve to be true. We are men with a title to honor and fame, Let our life records prove we are worthy the name.
What is wealth without wisdom and that from above ? What is man without honor and life without love ? For the joy of well doing will never depart
From the thankful in spirit, the grateful in heart.
We will thank all the builders that none feel aggrieved, From the hand that performed to the head that conceived; Especially those through whose wisdom and will We are blest with this model of architect skill.
How they guarded the funds as they reared the strong wall, Is an honor to them and a blessing to all.
And they each should be proud every fact to reveal In these days of lax morals when honest (?) men steal.
But of earthly rewards nothing richer is gained Than to know that their fingers have never been stained; Then like just men and true we'll resolve here to-night- God giving us strength-we will always do right.
If we seek for the favors of bounteous Heaven, Our bad deeds repented will all be forgiven ;
Then like mortgages paid or outlawed judgment rolls, We shall feel they're no longer a lien on our souls.
And the good, when the bad to oblivion have passed, Will all be recorded for ever to last, In letters of gold in those Libers of love, Kept only by Angels in mansions above.
When the last page is reached and the last line is laid, The world will be blest by the records we've made. And with naught to upbraid, and no sorrow to feel, We will pass from this earth to the land of the leal.
At the conclusion of Mr. Bartlett's address, a procession was again formed, and leaving the stately building the company pursued their way to
THE OCEAN HOUSE,
where the scene was exchanged for a banquet room in which a most inviting table was spread. The bill of fare was excellent, and the guests were in good condition for doing justice to it. After appe- tites were satisfied, a "feast of reason" was declared in order, and regular toasts were proposed and responded to, as follows:

" The County of Erie," responded to by Judge Albert Haight.
" The Building Commissioners," George S. Wardwell, Esq.
" The Old Settlers of Erie County," Rev. James Remington.
"The Superior Court," John C. Graves, Esq.
" The District Attorney's Office," District Attorney D. N. Lock- wood.
" The Sheriff's Department," Under Sheriff E. R. Chase.
" The Surrogate's Office," C. W. Goodyear, Esq.
" The County Treasurer's Department," R. C. Titus, Esq.
" The Board of Supervisors," A. B. Tanner, Esq.
Impromptu toasts and a general interchange of sentiment were then in order, and the late hours of the evening were passed in the most pleasant manner.
