Thursday cveringby a large, intelligent
and attentive audience, assembled to
hear the address of Col. WIN. NJ. SHAN.
NON. Everything combined % make
the occasion both pleasant and inter-
csting. The weather was delightful,
one of the finest April nights. The
audience were In good spirits, and, as if
al were fully conscious OF the digni6ed
purpose of the meeting, the stricttst
decorum prevailed. Col. SHANNON
delivered an able and eloquent address
on { the duties of the present" He
strove to impress upon the rising gen
Grafton a sense of the grave RESPONSE
biltics resting upon them as individ-
uals, as citizens, and as members of so
ciety. He showed the duty, and ex-
= tollcd the dignity. of labor, while he
held out the glittering rewards pro-
missed to the Industrious. He did not
attempt to deny that our country is
now PROSTATE and degraded, naturally
and civilly, but he prophcsied glorious
future for US, if We are only true to our
selves and 10 our past record. His Pc
roration was especially eloquent aud
striking, and elected the hearty ap-
plause Of the audience. The entertain.
ment on the whole was of the most sat,
isfactory nature.
The DeKalb Literary Society desire
to tender their thanks to Col SHANNON
for his speech, and to the citizens, es
pecially the ladies, for their kind pat

literary subjects are Of great advantage
to the community, furnishing as they
do an enter ainment of very high or
