perfectly jammed; the windows and steps and baco
mes were filed, and everything betpkeDed that the
most extraordinary events passing. The stores
ann the markets were closed; the sound Of hammers
and engines had ceased; the drays and teams were
silent. The usual press and hurry of the community
were completely thrown aside, and the people
thronged from point 10 point merely to see. Great

thing new--something stranger than had been heard
before As the day wore on the events which o hsd

Streets and although uprosr and no loud noise was
anywhere heard, still the momentous occurrences were
earnestly cAnvaseed
