The 24ih Of June al Fairfield, Ind

Mr. notwithstanding to promise,
will give you brief account Of tho Ma
sonic Celebration at Fairfield on the Gath
The morning was very fine, and at nm
early hour the Masons aud citizens from
tho surrounding country began to arrive
in carriages, wagons, and on foot, and by
ten o'clock there were several hundred
persons present. At quarter past ten
o'clock tho procession was formed by the
Marshal, DR.. Ferguson, assisted by Mcssrs
Colescott and Brakeman, headed by the
Millville Brass Band. There was quite a
large number Of Masons in the procession
from neighboring Lodges. Brookyille
came as a Lodge, and NJ. Carmel Meta
mora, Laurel, Everton, Brownsville, Alb.
represented. They marched up Main street
until they arrived at the Grant House,
where they were joined by a large delega-
ton Of ladies,-the wives, daughters and
sisters Of Masons. They then proceeded
to Roses Grove. northwest Of town. Up
on arriving at the grove, We found every
thing prepared 10 good order, such as
stand, seats, and plenty Of ice water to
quench our thirst The stand was trimmed
with evergreens, and suspended above the
speaker was the letter G..
The first in order was music by the
Band thea. prayer by tho Chaplain, Rev.
Nr. Benjamin; then singing by the Choir,
(Mr. Brakeman loading) "Song for the
oath Of June" which was we'll executed.
Next in order was an address by Gen.
Bennett. The General did the subject
justice, so Masons say. / thought he
made a very fine speech. lie gave short
history Of the origin Of Masonry, with an
account Of some of tho ancient worthless
who we're patrons of the Order, such as
Solomon, Hyram, St. John tho Eyangel-
list, and st. John the Baptist, whose birth
we were that day celebrating. He show
ed that the principles Of Masonry lie at
the foundation Of free government.
After the address, there was music by
tho Band Then next in order came din
ner. which was on the old.iashioned
plan, anciently observed by Masons upon
the highest hills or lowest Wales Il basket
dinner. to Which all were invited, upon he
hvel, to partakc of tho refreshments duly
prepared for the occasion and after all
were supplied. several baskets full were
taken up. :,
The next in order was Music by the
Band then short address by Rev. Mr..
BENJAMIN, which was we'll timed and to
tho point, although entirely exicmpora-
neous. lilo held up the Holy Bible
as the principal jewel in the Lodge, and
stated that no person was worthy TO become
Mason who was not firm believer in
the divine origin of the Bible, and that II
was given to man as his rule and guide

Mr. CAnMEL. june asth. 1s67.

Mr.. Edtor,-Sone three or four weeks
since there was an article in your paper
abiding to the uRbeeoming conduct Of
some of the smart young men of our viii
lage. Well, the shot was we'll aimed, and
took effect, and has cured the evil CON-
planned of by our citizens, but perhaps
not altogether. There still appears to be
some SO accustomed to loafng on Sundays
that it seems very hard to quit all at once,
and some of this class that | am speaking
about men of families. 1 wish to say
to these men, that on next Sabbath
morning just as soon as you get your
breakfast, 60 out and collect your crowd,
take them home, set them in front Of your
own doors; then in presence of your own
families, just hold forth as you are accus-
toned to do in front of Mr. Smiths and
Mr.. Fogles doors each Sabbath day. and
| think that your wives will be constrained
to endeavor to keep their husbands from
Sabbath loa6ng in front of other peoples
doors.
Now, Mr.. Editor, 1 wish to say one
word to tho wives of those Sabbath loafers,
and that is, if you can't make the home
circle interesting enough to hold them
under its influence, just drop your Sab
bath morning work and 90 with them,
take your stand in their midst, and by
your presence they will at least be more
reserved in their remarks.
And a word to the parents Of those
small boys that have got in the habit Of
following those street loafers. There are
three churches and three Sabbath Schools
in the village, and if you can't get them
interested in any of these exercises so as
to keep them from annoying and disturb
ing your neighbors, just take them by the
hand and lead them out into the grove,
aud there endeavor TO explain to them the
grand Volume of Nature, and interest
them in some way SO as TO save them from
the abominable habit Of Sabbath loaing.
In conclusion, wish to make one other
suggestion is case all that has been sug-
gesicd should fail, that the Corporation
Fathers Of our city be requested to select q
suitable location on some back street, so
as 10 BIO little out Of hearing, and there
erect a swing, keep beer, whisky. quoits
and, if necessary, have ball.alley, and
make il tho duty Of the City Marshal to
be present on each Sabbath morning, to-
gether with the police, SO as to keep it
kind OF respectable.
And now, should all the foregoing
plans fail, my last appeal is to the loafcrs
themselves. fyou must and will loaf,
for heavens sake divide your custom
around equally among oil the families OF
the village. Don't give II oil TO Mr.
Smith and Mr. Fogle, and that little
poach 10 front Of tho paint.shop.

COMMENCEMENT AT BRooKvlLLE
COLLEGE,

The graduating exercises on Wednes
day night last passed off we'll. The open
ing prayer was offered by Rev. j. w. Me-
lender, p. E., followed by piece Of mu
sic performed with most exquisite tast
and skill. The Salutatory by 4. +. Jone
Of Brookyille was most sensible and up
propriate, and well delivered. J. X. Sites
Grafton on Progress was delivered in
forcible style-a very creditablo produc
ftion. John Brady's grafton was Of som
length, and showed much care and thought
1t contained many beautiful things, but oil
account Of sickness was not perfectly com
mitted. r. L. Jones delivered, in hi
usual calm and manly style, an Grafton
"Be true to thy souls conviction" and ",
felt while be was delivering il that it wa
noble production, full Of true and man
~ sentiment. A gentleman Of good judg
ment declared that it filed his ideal of
model graduating grafton. Miss Julia K
Newkirk read most beautiful essay OF
Brain Labor. It was highly praised BY
all. The valedictcry was delivered By
Miss Julia +. Newkirk. and was certain
y most appropriate.
As Prof. Goodwin Of Bloomington, Ill.
was in attendance, it was thought fitting
that he should confer the degrees Of Bach.
elor Of Sciepce on the young gentlemen
and Lady Baccalaureate on Aiss New
kirk. The Prof, in an address of ten
minutes, brought before the class, with
considerable force, the privileges Of the
College, the responsibilities of the future,
and the reward for faithfulness 10 their
respective callings.
The music dispersed through the exer-
cises was excellent, and We must say re-
fected credit on Hiss Stoddard, although
she has been teaching but one term in the
College.
Rev. n. ". Barns Of Connersville STA
ted in an address that he had the pleasure
to announce that the College debt was
cancelled, that over $4,000 had been rails
ed for its benefit, and $4,000 Of that had
been given by the citizens Of Brookville.
In this connection it is right to say that
Mr.. Walter S. Baker donated $500 to-
wards liquidating the debt. Mr.. Barns
the advantage Of such IN insli-
tuition to the country, and stated that eight
or ten Of the dfiy graduates were minis
tiers. -
The interest in the College is increas-
ing. and next year promises larger at
tendance Of students than ever before.
We feel that we have reason to be proud
Of the condition and prospects Of Brook
Vile College, and the Faculty deserve and
and arc receiving praise on every hand
for their efficiency and ability. We are
glad to learn that students are already
engaging places Of accommodation for
next year.

= A military commander who should &c

sostending forces should be arrayed. and
without carefully observing the tactics

sign Of thwarting their strategy, would

sian who is unobservant Of the designs

his hopes blasted. and his enemies masters
Of the situation.
These reflections are suggested by tho
present aspect Of affairs in the (new)
Fourth Congressional District. Although
our friends have figured up Republican
majority Of some sixteen hundred votes,
yet in 1862 the Counties composing this
District gave. in the aggregate, Demo.
cratic majority. And now, notwithstand-
ing the general generalization of the
Copperbead clan, it is undeniable that
they have strong hopes Of success at the
ssxs Congressional election, Should the
question be asked, what is it that buoys
them up? what Is it that gives them hope
snd vitality the answer can be given in
. single word--Juiiaa. They remember
end gloat over the heart-burnings, the
chickering's, the contentious and strife en-
Esndered in the ranks Of the Republican
party in the old Fifth District, and, know
ing the cause, they fondly hope that the
same may be transferred to our present
District.
II cannot be said. truthfuliy. that Mr..
Julian Is without friends in this portion
Of the District. Ills praises are on the
bps Of every coppcrhsad, his virtues are
sxtolled By every enemy Of the Union and
Of the Union party, aud his nomination
is hopefully predicted BY oil whose shib.
