EMPLOYEES' HOLIDAY—On Saturday evening last, the employees of Mr. E. Claridge had their annual tea in the Temperance Hall, at six o'clock. The tables were very nicely set with the necessaries for a capital tea, jams, marmalades, and various kinds of cake, presented a very tempting spectacle to about 60 young people, who assembled to enjoy this, their annual gathering.
