None Of the bodies mentioned as being IN the pro-
cession were present as whole, as majority OF
take any part IN the reception. The reception &C.
corded the visitor along the route was not enthus
astic There was some cheering, but it was not gen.
era. The expression was not unlavOrable though,
for there evident interest manifested by The
crowds who thronged the windows aud sidewalks.
On the arrival at the Government House the
party reviewed the seventy-eghth Highlanders,
Colonel Mackenzie, with their fine band. This is one
Of the finest regiments IN the service Il is composed
Of two full battalions, one OF them containing over
l,C00 men, and Is quartered IN the citadel here
The other is stationed In England The re.

about sixty pieces, including full drum corps and
eight bagppers. In the evening the Union Engine
Company band, attached to the Nova Scotia Militia
serenaded the Governor General at Government
House.
The next day at two o'clock the Governor Gene.
raj gave private levee. and afterward the general
clergy, the judges, members Of the executive and
legislative councils, members OF the House OF COM
mons, Senators, members OF the provincial govern:
ment aud OF the Dominion government, the resident
consuls of foreign Powers and the officers Of the
English army resident IN Halifax were received,
and ut the public levee about 1000 more paid their
respects. The street In front Of Government House
presented busy scene. Hackney coaches were were
in greaS demand and as one drove up after
either In unform-paval, military, volunteer naval
volunteer artillery or volunteer mlitia-or else In
more becoming to Green Mountain Yankee at q
thanksgiving ball than gentlemen going to be pre-
sented TO a representative OF royalty.
Upon entering the precincts OF Government House
the aspect must have been discouraginS to any but
determined man. Two gigantic Hlghlanders
passed the gentleman found himself one Of seeth.
Ing mass OF humanity, part OF whlcn was anxious
to get in, while the other was as deslrous Of fghlg
into the drawing room he was invited to hand his
card to an usher. The usher handed'it to another
usher. This one passed IL to another, and
this last passed 1t to the principal usher,
who called out the name and Sir John took him by
the hand, murmured something and passed on.
Perhaps he took glass or sherry, but If he like
the HERALD correspondent he got out OF doors as
soon as possible. The barelegged Highanders ap-
peared a. the Ievee & wearing eS9rs slippers with
tueu Ht0cklpgs. --7-~.-- - l,--s
The feeling Of the citizens found expression IL
one OF two incidents OF the procession which es.
capped the notice OF the general public. string Of
Old mats, Old rags old pants, hat boxes and other
rubbish was stretched across upper Water street
and renamed during the forenoon, but just before
three O'Clock the mocking display came to an un-
timely end IN the following manncr:-A truck, with
two three men on 1t, drove along the street; one
end Of rope was thrown over the line and then se
cured TO the wagon; the horse started, down came
the old clothes aud tue wagon drove on.
The wrath Of the dweers IN the house was
OF no avail. While the procession passing near
Sackvllle street gentleman OF wealth ana position,
who had put out line OF flags from his store to the
opposite building saw the line slacken and fall. lie
made quick time to the store rushed up stairs three
steps at time, and, seeing man at work upon the
rope grasped him by the throat ana they came to
the door together. "YOu vilain what are you do.

could sufficiently free his throat from the deter
mined grasp OF his assailant, gasped out 81 don

to fasten them there, and n you attempt to touch
