Mrs. s. 7. Wilcox was presented and
read the proclamation in a clear and
distinct tone, and with judicious en-
phasis. Then followed music by the
Band, ut the conclusion of which the
orator of the day, w. II. Hall, was In
troduced amid enthusiastic cheers.
As to the manner of Its delivery we
have only space to say that 1t was ex-
cellent, stamping the author as q man
of great native ability and rare orato-
rical powers. Afer more music,
brakes Address to the American Flag
was recited by Mr.. Bishop. Then came
a song, by Mrs. Wilcox, Mead and
Rogers, which We're rendered In an ar
tistfc manner, and rapturously ap-
plauded. 1. G. Starkey next came
forward and delivered a brief but sem
sible little speech, quoting much his
tory. both ancient and modern, In sup
port Of the position he assumed and
the ideas he advanced. The Fifteenth
Amendment, the late lamented Lin-
coin, the orator of the day and others
were cheered with q will, a large per
cent. of the spectators taking part;
after which the President returned
thanks for the consideration and res
pect which had everywhere welcomed
them, aud the meeting adjourned.
SOME CuANaEs.-We understand that
there is to be some changes in the man.
! agcment of the Consolidated Chloride
Company's affairs. Thomas Sunder-
land has arrived, and will oficiate, as
we are informed, as the financial agent
! of the concern, and Captain Taylor,
formerly Superintendent of the Crown
Point mine, Gold Hill, Is o to
assume control as Superintendent Of
the company's mines OIL th Hill.
Meantime, it Is rumored that Captain
Frank brakes interest In the Aurora
Consolidated has been purchased by
this company for $500 w. b.
Thornburg, the late efficient Superin-
tendent, goes below for season, and
operations, 1t is said, arc to be imme-
diately resumed OIL q grand scale.
These arc rumors which we gathered
OIL the street yesterday, and we give
them for what they are worth.
NOT QurTE.-Last evening, during
the jubilee, n little unplcasantness oc-
CURED between Charles Mcintyre and
a youth known as Shafey, but was
stopped Mt once. Finally, while all
hands were taking a drink, Shafey
drew a deringer and placed 1t against
Mcintyre; but, rs good luck would
have it, the pistol snapped and his life
was saved. Shafey at once slipped out
through the crowd, and gaining the
street, ran away, receiving but two
light blows rs he passed out. The
young man is making n brash stand,
and, if he keeps up his lick, will no
doubt find the end Of n rope before
long, unless he changes for tho better.
The use Of firearms Is becoming In
tolerable, and some one will have to
be made All example of before it Is
checked,
New YEAR's.-The first day Of the
new year was observed in one way or
another by most Of the jewellers In
White Pine. Many private houses
were thrown open, and callers were to
be seen vending their way about the
suburbs of Hamilton during most OIL
the afternoon. The rarest viands were
spread, and with lovely women to do
| the honors, such reunions could not be
| otherwise than pleasant. We had in
tended to publish a list of those who
kept open house, as the term goes, but
find it would be too lengthy tor our
space.
