the themc-tEe eloquence and manners of the
Youthful speaker. The whole was hearl with the
most pleasurablc emotion, and without the least
sign of listessncss.

the music was good, and discourscd with very
good will.
Tn the Grove where the tables were erected, this
vast assembly found ample accommodation. The
entertainment was profuse, consisting OF every
thing common to the season, and prepared in the
most perfcct manner. The Ladies had done them
selves great credit in preparing picnic anu
spreading beautiful table; but the gentlemen
