invited guests.
procession of Sabbath school children,
similar to that so finely carried out last year,
in which all the children of the city, whether
members of any school or not, are invited to
join, will form an interesting feature of the oc
casion. They will march to Paine's grove
where appropriate exercises will be conducted
The civic and military procession, after
marching through the streets, will halt at Me
chanics Hall, where collation. will be spread
by Mr.. Augustus Mars, and it is supposed

Much fear was expressed that cattle from Hol

stock in the city, and it was thought to be a
duty to prohibit all cattle from other places
from crossing the city limits.
Mr.. Bigelow's farm presents a very hand

looks WELL and the late rain has brought
forward the grass finely. But aside from
their beauty and value as farm, there is
another reason for coveting these fertile acres
They are located in one of our beautiful hills
and the view from the house which crowns
the eminence is worth living two miles from
the city proper TO enjoy. One can look down
on the city while places as far off as Hopkn

the prospect in every direction.
Mr.. Bigelow's penchant for large fields has
led him to remove many stone walls that serv

lots. He uses the best of modern tools, and
