Flag Raising--Patriotism in East Cambridge,

up by the people of the east part of the
town, the ether portions were well repre-
sented, and took an active part in the
ceremonies.
The exercises we're: A procession from
the church to the pole, about a hundred
rods, and the reading of the following
toasts, by Giles French:
THE NATIONAL FLAG-It was defended by
Washington, and is now protected by Lincoln
the President of our choice, and we will show our
patriotism and devotion to it also.
THE STARS AND STRIPES
o long may they wave,
Der the land of the free and home of the brave y
But there are those who now on it frown,
o, wo to the traitor who tramples 1t down.
THE CONSTITUTION
The rock by which our fathers built,
nation mighty strong;
The Southern States may do their best.
They cannot break it down.
PRESIDENT LINCOLN
He calls the people to obey,
The laws which they have made;
All loyal subjects he does show,
That he will have Fort Sumpter too.
GENERAL SCOTT-
He is an old and patriot man,
He fights the battles for his country's good.
We cannot ever on him frown,
For he will put the rebels down.
VOLUNTEERS
A brave and gallant band,
AS ever fought by sea or land
And may they on to victory go,
Till they have conquered every foe.
THE GREEN MOUNTAIN BOYS
They are tall and gallant lads
For this YOU all do know ;
And to Virginia they have gone,
To put the ugly traitors down.
THE LADIEs-They take lively interest in
raising the Stars and Stripes, and will gladly show
their attachment to the flag encouraging its de-
tenders and ministering to those who may fall in
battle.
The ladies', you that stay at home,
Must the harder work the churn:
For good butter it will go,
And make our country flourish to.
EAST CAMBRIDGE-Stands ever ready to defend
the Stars and Stripes, and protect the Union and
abide by the Constitution.
THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES

Arise and do the best You can

the church, and after prayer by Rev.
Mr.. Wheelock, of the Boro', listened to an
address by Rev. Mr.. Dougherty, of John.

E. Wheelock, W. H. Law, w. Parker, and
T. Stearns
The address of Mr.. Dougherty, it is
needless to say, was interesting and in.
structive, and was we'll received. If we
had room, we should be glad to give an
abstract. The subject was: The war fol
the Union-its cause the pretext of the
South; the result. In his usual happy
manner Mr.. Dougherty showed that the
cause was slavery, the pretext a falsehood
and that the result would be the triumph
of the lovers of the Union.
The remarks of the other gentlemen
were well received.
Several gentlemen then volunteered
toasts appropriate to the occasion, which
were received with cheers, music and the
firing of cannon.

is about three miles east of Jacksonville,
on the stream emptying into the Lamoille

was about 81 800.
Though the ceremonies were slightly
interrupted by shower of rain, they
passed off to the satisfaction of all.
Though our acquaintance with the peo-

have received q very favorable impression
Of their patriotism and hospitality. We
