cary TO call in the aid of some extern speak

Mr.. Mills, in Fones,oIian speech Of considerable
length, slorifed the American movement, and par
ficuary paid his tribute Of respect TO precious Hin
dooism He entered into lengthy, though not stats

An eccentric individual, named Sparrow, who in
formed the audience that he had once been School
Trustee vse the next orator Of the OCCASION; and he
was succeeded by Mr.. Stephen Num- known through
bis connection with the Police Department. Mr..
Sparrow's discourse was more remarkable for noise
than any other qualification and Mr.. Num- would
doubtless have been very interesting, if he had paid
attention to Epelish grammar and the rules OF pro.
nuucistion. A benedicton cosed the performances.
