The second Pioneer Celebration Of Cuya-
hOga County was held yesterday at New
burgh. The occasion drew together very
large ooncOurse Of people from different sec
tons of the county, and many interesting
relics of the olden time. The day was as fine
as could be desired, the sun shining a little
too warmly, but its heat being mitigated by
the thick foliage of the pleasant grove in
which the exercises were held
Tm LOCATION.
The Big Tent was pitched in pleasant
grove few rods north Of the village, on the
banks Of AIin Greek, where the trees were
thick, and the shade abundant. The under
brush had been mostly cleared away, afford
ing a good opportunity for tying horses, which
was well improved.
THE GAFHERNG.
The hour for the commencement of the ex-
eTcises was 10 o'clock, but long before that
hour the throng of carriages to the grounds
showed the interest taken in the occasion by
the people Of the county. Wagons and We
hicles of all descriptions, with one two, three
and four horses, were constantly arriving un-
til the woods were full Of them. The tent
rapidly filed, and from the stage presented a
gay and variegated appearance. Old people
and young were there, and all for the express
purpose Of enjoying themselves Where such
was the universal desire it would be impOs-
sible to see anything but good feeling and
harmony. Old men and women who were
neighbors in the wilderness, and who, fifty
years ago, joined in the hunt for wolves and
bears, or in quilting parties" here shook
each other heartily by the hand, and com
pared notes Of the Improvements and the do
ings which time had wrought Young men
and women gazed curiously upon the display
Of relics and wondered at the possible use Of
the strange implements and ornaments which
were exhibited. All was hustle and life, and
as the throng increased to thousands, the
scene was intensely interesting and exciting.
1t was great and glorious meetings and
surpassed all expectation. Probably not less
than 5000 people were upon the grounds.
By 10 o'clock the tent was flled, and the
grove full of -strolling parties. At this time
the SOlOn procession arriTsd, beaded by a
brass band in their band wagon, which was
followed by large number of carriages.
The Cleveland delegation arrived soon af-
ter, with Lslands Band, Old Soldiers &C.,
the band playing g Old Folks at Home.
The procession was composed Of a large num-
ber. of on1nibuses and carriages.

At half past 10 o'clock the vast audience
was called to order by DR.. Robinson, of Bed

bratlon, held Oct 20, 1858, at Newburgh, and
