The speaking in front Of the House was con-
tinued until late in the evening, By hessrs HALL
CRITTENDEN and HoxIE. Though the speakers
were tired Of talking, the people were not tired
OF listening, and as they would probably never
again have so good an opportunity tbey were
determined to improve the present.
TIE EVENING.
At eight O'Clock, the sgual was given for set
ting fire to piles Of combustible materials which
had been prepared during the day. One i'm
mense pile east o. tho Loder House contained
about twenty cords Of wood, a cart load of straw,
and ten barrels Of tar.
TIE Loder house. the American Hotel the Post
Office. the Telegraph Office, and almost every
private dwelling In the villsge Was brilliantly H.
Eliminated during the evening, and after The speak:
ing Was over, there was magnificent display OF
Fireworks on the high ground between swan snd
Dove streets These closed the festivities OF a
dey which will long remain in the memory OF the
iuf abitapts OF the embryo city Of Dunkuk-ior
around the terminus Of the Eris Railroad there
must ere long spring up store houses ana dwell
iuRs and machine shops ano mhnnlRctorles, 400
all the products OF the teemlng West must be
gathered there.
We cannot close the account Of the proceed
ings Of the day without word respecting the
haroorof Dunkirk. Many have asserted that 1t
was unfit for the navigation OF steamers and large
vessels, bet the experience Of o.day affords
sbupdapt evidence Of the falsity n these asser.
tions. No less than eight large steamers were at
one time moored az the wharyes, toS ether with
eeversl schooners, while the /. 5. steamship
Michigan lay az anchor inside OF the breakwater.
Al old Captain told us that in front Of Dun
kiik was the finest anchoring on the Lake, and
