TIE GREAT BARBECUE.
The great barbecue in honor o
Mr.. Storer took place on Saturday
last according to previous arrange
ments, and we are happy to say tina
it proved a most triumphant affair
The procession formed in front of The
Broadway Hotel and proceeded roune
Front street, up Main to the canal
where large number of persons tool
passage on the canal boats. and the
remainder Of the procession continu
ed its march to Carthage. The beau
tiful frigate Constitution, with hel
sails bent, and completely manned
attracted the gaze and elected the ad.
miratioh of every one. The Process
sion was very large at starting, but
before it arrived at Carthage it had
increased SO much as to extend near
~ mile in length. The numerous
horsemen and carriages presented a
most imposing appearance.
Mr.. Storer having been detained
longer than he expected on his way
from the East, did not receive the in
vitation Of the Committee until his
arrival at New York, when he imme-
diately took the mail line Of stages
and came as rapidly as was practical
BILE. He consequently did not arrive
upon the ground until the festivities
were over, and most of the company
dispersed. Being. however. met on
his way from Cincinnati to Carthage,
by a portion of the homeward caval-
cade, the latter returned to Carthage
with Mr.. Storer, where he addressed
about 1000 persons in a most eloquent
and happy manner, Mr.. Storer was
received by his friends with enthusi-
astic cheers. The number of persons
who attended the Barbecue is vari-
ously estimated at from four to six
Several able and interes-
ting addresses were made, and every
thing went off in the most harmoni-
Gus and triumphal manner. 1t was
TIE largest assemblage of the kind ev-
er known in this section of the State.
