LOCAL MISCELLANY.. !


Our MEMORIAL Observation-Disclosures
tie fact that the regular day for decorating
the. graves Of the Confederate dead in our
midst was changed, aud only short notice
given, the memorial services of Saturday last
were of character crcditable to the living
and honorable to the sleeping heroes of the
..lost cause" Tho want of arrangement, and
fixed hour for the commencement of the
grateful services, were seriously felt. but these
were overcome by the readiness of our people
to pay tribute to the memory of those who
fell in the great struggle for the maintenance
Of constitutional liberty. Late in the after.
noon, groups of ladies, bearing their floral
offerings, might be seen silently vending their
way, without fornahty or parade, to the diff
fereut resting places of the dead, where these
R(cmentoes were deposited upon the grassy
mounds which cover the remains of those who
were dear to them in life, and who are cherish
ed by them in death.
'.Not n drum was heard, nor funeral note
no glittering pageant or frothy oration-not
even prayer, but simple, unpretouding. yet
impressive Offering of flowers, was all, and the
memorial services in Charlcstown were con-
cluded. The expression of feeling was spon>
taneous-not born of desire for display or
trammelled with the formality of procession.
