PLEASING lNcIpBNT.--It is remarkable that
there were no serious accidents the seventeenth.
The editor of the Quincy Aurora witnessed one,
which, however, was by happy turn converted
lato enc OF the most pleasing incidents of the occa-
sion. While the procession descending Bun
ksr Hill, IFS return, one oil the carriages which
conveyed the Revolutionary Heroes, was acct
csntaliy driven against the next precee ding, with
much violence as TO break the pole e. which the
horses were attached. A party OF bystanders IN
moment stopped the horses, Embarrassed them and
tormlug team o. themselves, bore the carriage
along IN triumph amid the deafenng shouts OF
The admlrjng multitude. The aged patriots testi-
tled their qualification for the honor, OF being drawn
by human HANDS, by waveing their hats and hand.
