ed yesterday morning with the followers
of Bachus. These devotees. both male and
female, were attended by gallant gentler
men clad in brass buttons, to which were
attached blue coats and vests. 1t will b.
perceived that the retinue was such an one
as would adorn the court of "Old Bach .
himself if he had been. present to preside.
When the victims of Sundays debauches
were all arrayed they numbered thirteen
sons and daughters of Adam. The old
man whose steps had been made doubly
feeble and tremulous1 by long years of in
temperance; the young man, who is per-
~haps now the only hope of an aged father
or mother, but who has dispelled all bright
visions of the future by entering the path
way of sin; and women, victims of life
of sin and shame; all were present, max
ing a picture seldom thought Of and
never looked upon by the better class of
our citizens. -~-,-~~-~,, ~.-~
The following are the names and dfspo-
