Mn. EDIron
fFw The Republicans Of this place ana
vicinity had Levcc last evening at the 81. Johns
hurry House. to celebrate tho triumph Of Rcpubli-
canism I'm the Northern States, and to reorganize
for the campaign Of 1860. About three hundred
PERSONS ladies and gentlemen, were IN attendance
aud the whole affair went of with great eefdf.
Supper was served in Union Hail. one Of the larg-
est halls in the village, which afforded just room
enough for the guests, and none to spare. The
Hall was most beautifully decorated, the ladies
having volunteered their services In that behalf,
about sixty Of them devOting their whole time for
two days to the work. ndH
At the head Of the hall was tho motto, " Defeat
ed, but not conquered, in letters about foot in
length and extending the whole width Of the hall.
Beneath this motto was large portrait Of Ere
mont, encircIed by wreath Of evergrcens entwin-
ed with flowers. AT the opposite end Of the hall
was the MOTTO

the star being beautifully wrought in evergreen.
Along the sides Of the hall we're numerous other
appropriate mottos, and the walls and ceilings
we're hung with wreaths and festoons Of bunting
and evergreens cntwined, national flags, boquets
Of flowers, and whatever else would add TO the
beauty and pieturcsqueness Of the decoration.
Supper being ended, sentiments and speeches
were the order Of the night till a late hour. To
judge from the hilarity that prevailed, one would
suppose that the party was assembled to rejoice
over a complete rather than over partial victory.
Speeches were made by Bliss n. Davis, Esq, Of
Danviile, c. c Dewey, Esq, Of Wells River, Hon.
L. Fairbanks, Col. Geo. A. Merrill, Geo. D. Rand,
ESQ.,, A. G. Chadwick, Esq, and several others.
The Republicans Of Caledonia County have enlist
ed during the war, and may be relied upon TO re-
main in the service till the victory is won.
The first session Of the County Court in this
place closed last Saturday afler having continued
three weeks The docket was unusually large, a
great many cascs having been continued from term
to term for the sake Of the greater convenience Of
trying them here. About an eighth Of the cases
set down for trial were actually tried The sum
total of damages recovered in the first FIVE cases
was--one dollar; in the sixth and last case the
plaintiff recovered n respectable sum IN damages.
Quite parcel OF criminal cases were disposed Of,
mos, Of them by the respondents pleading guilty.
One criminal was sentenced 70 the States Prison
for two years, for larceny.
