electrified, and the widest enthusiasm prevail
ed. Wherever three or four happened to meet
cheers broke forth for Grant and the Army.
The boys of the Pioneer Hook and Ladder
Company brought out their anvils once more,
and again the welkin rang with discharge after
discharge, which woke the echoes from bluff

Our patriotic friends on jackson street again

were at once commenced for bonfire in the

squelch the demonstration. This aroused the
spirit of Charley Golfer, who disputed the au.

resustate the expiring embers, and soon a
brilliant column of fire was sending its sparks
heavenward in honor of the glorious news.
