80 many pleasing incidents, and none
where all that appeals to the higher and

by IL o'clock there was such number
ON the ground as had never before been
seen in Joncsville.
A spacious arbor had been erected,
with seats, in the centre of whic, was
the stand, gracefully festooncl with flow

Texas Hunters and Marshall Guards
formed into line, and marched under the
spirit stirring notes Of the fife and drum,
in front Of the stand, which, in the mean
time had been occupied by number Of
beautiful ladies' Conspicuous among
this lovely co.erie, sat in regal beauty
the Queen Of May" the ceremony of
whose Coronation was deferred for
another occasion.
