-of the evening and night preceding retreated
before dayo.eak, leaving their only marks up
on the fresh flowers, and in the cool, and brac
ing air. The ringing of the bells and the fir
ing of salutes announced the hours of sun
rise, noon, and sunset. The national colors
fioated from the flagstaff upon the Common,
and adorned many stores and private residen-
ces in the city. The attendance of visitors and
strangers was unexpectedly large, who united
with our own people, young and old, in cele-
brating this happy anniversary according to
their inclination or pleasure.
THE FLORAL PROCESSION.
The chief and most attractive feature of the
day was the floral celebration of the children
of the Sabbath schools and others who chose to
join them. AT an early hour the schools, dec
GRATED with profusion of wreaths and flowers,
assembled upon the Common, accompanied by
their superintendents or teachers, and under
the direction of the Chief Marshal Henry S.
Washburn, Esq, formed into marching order,
while Josyn's Cornet, and the Quinsigamond
Bands contributed to their amusement by
playing the national airs. Soon after nine
O'Clock, the procession, numbering upwards of
three thousand, marched through Main and
Lincoln streets to Paine's grove, which had
been kindly devoted to their use The pro-
cession extended from the grove to the south
side of the Common, and the streets, for near
ly that whole distance, were filled with specta-
tors assembled to witness the beautiful and
interesting spectacle. The procession was
composed of twenty-three divisions, arranged
in the following order
