Messrs. Bond and McCracken, having been up

The citizens of Leominster honorel the an

dren of the town. The young people were
gathered at the Town Hall at 10 o clock, to the
number of five or six hundred, Major Gener-
al Morse presided, and the Leominster Brass
Band contributed national air. The Declar-
alton of Independence was read by Mr. Allen,
town clerk, from the town records, as recorded
by order of the council of 1776. The process.
sion was then formed, with the Leominster Ar

There was no formal celebration in West
Boylston, though the small boys amused
themselves, morning and evening, by the ex.
plosion of fire crackers and the discharging of
small arms. Many citizens, however, were
induced probably oy the low fare offered by
the gentlemanly managers OF the Worcester
and Nashua Railroad,) TO visit Worcester.
Most Of them returned, as they always do, So
Der, and gratiied with the exhibition afforded
them. But Frank Cragn lost himself some
where in the city, and, after drinking a great
deal, went home in a fighting mood He was
brought before Trial Justice Hosmer for dis.

of $40 % fine and costs
