AT NEWPORT.

MR.. ED1TOR:-Perhaps line in regard
to how our national holiday was celebrated
at Newport may be of interest to the read
ers OF the CAL, therefore give you brief
account. The day opened rather lowery,
but by 10 O'Clock the rain had ceased, and
and people from all parts of the county be-
gan to come in, so that by noon the streets
were crowded. At two o'clock the extra
train, consisting of sixteen cars filled to
their utmost capacity, arrived. A large
number of excursiOnists also came up on
the steamer" Mountain Maid" 1t is esti-
mated by good judges that there were from
eight to ten thousand people in town during
the day. Immediately on the arrival of the
train the steamer started for the Mountain
House, with as many as could get on board.
Arriving there, the hungry crowd were
compelled to wait some two hours for din
ner; at last it was ready, and such an at.
fair! At the Memphremagog Park there
was a large crowd to witness the races,
Owing to three days rain, the track was
not in very good order; but there was fine
trOtting nevertheless. Mike Lark's horse.

and LADY Lightfoot," won the second,
third, fourth and fifth purses respectively.

with their actions, but the managers of the
Park used every endeavOr to keep order
and please the public, and think they did
it. At the Memphremagog House every
one who chose to eat was fed, and nell fed
too; and many more could have been ac-
In the village there were
several small fights and knock-downs be-
tween pugnaciOus fOreigners-the natural
of their imbibing Canada whis-

place the train started for w. R. Junction.
with its load of passengers. and by dark the
village had regained its wonted quiet.

We understand that the adjutant general
has offered st. Johnsbury two guns. all
necessary equipments, and the same amount
of uniform as is furnished for infantry. pro-

solicitation by several of our citizens who
think it desirable that section be located

With soft blue eyes and golden hair

Ere morn above her corpse ne wept.

How walled the village In its Woe:
And when We laid her from our sight
Deep in the graves perpetual night
An that of her on earth re manned
Was one poor image dim and stained
A picture made in earlier years.
Now the last soisoe OF our tears,

In soft harmonious light aud shade,

The living face Of Myra seems.
