Worcester daily spy., 1859-07-06


with much spirit They were disappointed in
the number of men expected to participate in
the patriotic memorial services, but did not
abate any of their zeal on that account. The
messenger arriving from Lexington, the war
cry which rent the air, the rallying of the men
and the fiction of march to Lexington, form
ed scene of brief, though lively animation.
The company subsequently, dined at the Lin
coin House, and at five O'Clock marched under
the escort of Joslyns Band, to the grave of Col.
Timothy Bigelow, on the Common, where an
honorary salute was fired, and interesting
speeches were made by Capt. Hersey and 9TH
ers.
THE ANTIQUES AND HoRRIBLEs.
This company of brave men from Clappville
and Greenville came in town by the middle
train from the west They numbered AZ men,
and were under the command of Capt. Thur

and 4th Lieut.. Ebenezer Stone; Sergeant A.
Blandon; Drummer, Hudson Barton, of Mill
bury; and Fifer, Heman Redfeld of Charlton.
Their grotesque appearance, armed with pick
axes and sundry other horrid implements, and
attired not exactly according to the rules of
they marched up Front street, across the
Common to Main street, and took up their
quarters at the Lincoln House. AT this
place, with a number of invited guests,
they sat down to a sumptuous repast. Lieut..
j. Waldo Denny, of the Worcester Light In
fantry, was called opreside After the chair
man had concluded his Introductory remarks,
welcoming the company present to the festivi
ties of the occasion, Capt. Hersey and his
band of minute men made their appearance,
in full uniform, and were invited to take seats
at the table of the Antiques. The chairman
then read several sentiments, which were re-
sponded to with great good humor by Messrs
Geo. w. Bentley, Edwin Bynner, Capt Her
sey, and others. Among the sentiments were
these:
Hungary-May its great exile, Kossuth obtain
in $50 for his nation what our fathers did in S3 for
theirs-dcknotULedged existence as an independent
power on the earth.
The War in Haly-We bid God-speed to the Sar-
erty, and with one voice desire the humiliation of
Austria.
Mr. Abram Firth, long a resident of Leices-
ter, who was expected to preside on the occa-
sion, sent letter excusing his compulsory abb
sence, and enclosing the following sentiment
The ClappciHe hrincibleS and the GreenriHe Indo,n-
itabsIroo brave to boast too modest even, to hear
their deeds recounted May the peaceful communi-
ties which they protect, as well that they visit
have the grace to appreciate their services as they
deserve!
Three rounds of hearty cheers were then
given for Mr.. Firth.
The occasion was one of great hilarity, and
the repeated rounds of applause testified how
much the company enjoyed it.
INCIDENTS.
The day was very quiet, and the streets I'M
usually free from disorder. The records of
the Police Court show that the number of ar
rests was much smaller than in previous years,
for offences most common in the gradations of
crime, and, unfortunately, not peculiar to any
day or season of the year. a>---------'~ ->->>
