By VIM. M. Reed The Truckmcn of Bath
Their hardy and noble appearance this day,
are worthy of the admiration of our citizens.
The festivities of the day were concluded by
pretty good display of Fire WIorks,-some
slight difficulty having been experienced in
"getting off, some of the pieces.
On the whole, the arrangements of the day
were eminently successful. Among the incl
dents that tended much to enhance the inter-
est of the occasion, was the presence of that
splendid corps, the Pulaski Guards. So far as
we have heard. there is but one opinion as to
the favorable regard which their conduct and
so.dier-hke appearance, inspired amongst our
citizens The commander, CAPT. WRIGHT, is
gentleman, in every sense of the word, and
eminently qualified to speak for his company
Many excellent toasts were given by the Off
GERS and privates. In the afternoon, the COM
pany accepted an invitation to witness the
beautiful Panorama of the Kennebec river. and
expressed themselves highly pleased with their
entertainment The "Guards'' rendezvoused
at the "Sagadahock," with .'mine host" Ron
IssoN, with whom, we understand, they were
perfectly satisfied, and departed in the morn
ing train of the 9th, with the hearty wishes Of
our citizens for their safe return.
OF the performances off the Glee Club, it is
useless for US to say word. They are too we'll
known, and their musical talent is too well
appreciated to need any commendation from
US.
The day passed of without any accident oc.
curing, to our knowledge. to mar the festivi.
ties-and SO far as our observation, even the
''largest liberty" of the most Independent day
of the year, was not over abused.
SUPPER AT THE ESAGADAHOCK.
About one hundred and fifty gentlemen sa
down to supper got up in Mr.. Robinson's bes

works. B. G. Bailey Esq. presided, assisted
by Vice Presidents Jacob Smith, E. S j. Neal

of whom know how to do the handsome thing
handsomely. After vigorous discussion o
