At about Ten o'clock lass Saturday, Bar
on Renirew aud SUIT, accompanied by
Mayor Wentworth, drove through various
parts Of our city in open barouches. ~
mong other places, they visited the court
house. and took bird s-eye view of the
city from lis dome.
The people behaved remarkably well on
this occasion. Scarce even boy broke
into run as the Baron's carriage drove
into the court house square. A few hun
dreda Of people gradually collected IN Tho
square TO look upon the youy Lord IS he
should enter his carriage, after descending
from the dome of the court house. There
was no crowding. applause, or Gemonsra-
ton Of any kind. \ simple and respect
full curiosity to see the hier-apparent To the
throne of great Britain was all the feeling
manifested. Up TO lhis point we must
compliment our citizens on behaving. up

SO as conid be well expected.
