Oar citizens unwilling to let lie Ami.
versary of the birth Of the Father of his
Country pass by wilhoh paying some
tribute TO The memory Of the illustrions
Chief, ata early hour the "stars and
stripes" OF Liberty were floating in the
breeze, admoLishing us that another An,
niversary of the immortal WASHING-
TON had arrived. At 10 o'clock the
"ShepheGdstown Light, Infantry" prece-
ded by Crlswel's Come, Band, was
formed in front OF their Armory, after
which they took up their line Of marcel
and proceeded to lie NJ. E. Church
where a Flag was presented 10 The "In.
ianiry by the ladies Of Shepherdslown,
J. Il. TOwNER, Esq, delivering the ad-
dress on the part Of the ladies, which was
responded to by Col. j. F. HAMrRAMcK,
in behalf of the "lnlantry,' after which
an Grafton, appropriate to The day, was
delivered by the former. These proceed
ings over, the "lnfantry' paraded through
our principle streets, firing at intervals for
some time, and then dlsbanded.
Sleighing being pretty good our town
was visited by large number Of sleighs
bearing persons from all parts of The
County and adjoining counties, in fac! our
streets were crowded by persons from all
quarters and presenting quite business
aspect.
We might also add that a number Of
candidates for tie SheriffaIly could be
seen "bobbn' around" forming new &C
quainiances, shaking hands, making
friends, &c, &C., each candidate proclai-
ming his right and tile" for The Office Of
Sheriff. The contest can now be con-
sidered open, the nags are on the turf, and
we shall look forward with much anxiety
as to who will come out "cat-bird."
