when dinner was announced.

provided in front ofthe Court House. most
elegantly served by the patriotic Ladies

with the utmost attention, and elected
frequent rounds Of applause from his adj

Judge Williams, Of Bloomington, next
came forward His fame as an orator
had gone before him, and he was welcom-

applause.

justice to this distinguished individual up
on the present occasion. The evening
was far advanced when he commenced;
aud although the audience had already
become wearied by the long time they
had been kept upon the ground, and a.
though a large portion Of them were a
long distance from home, still, with ad-
mring attention, scarcely diminished
in plumbers, they listened 10 the eloquence,
the wit, the sarcasm Of this "Admirabze
Crichton" Of the West, until long after
the candles had been lighted at night.
The following Song, written by the
Judge for the occasion, and sung in his
own peculiar style, formed the introduce

This served TO put the audience in the
best possible humor, and for two hours
and more, did they listen to flow Of elo-
quence, enlivened with flashes Of wit and
humor, such as none but Judge Williams
can command.
At the close Of his remarks, anothe
song was called for, and the following,
also prepared by him for the occasion,
was received with great applause.
