fourth anniversary at the Kirkwood House,
Scarboro, yesterday, going thirher by train and
arriving in time for a sumptuous breakfast

sively by appropriate toasts The company re-
turned home by the o'clock train and march

Drum Corps, followed by couple thousand of
men and boys who read the papers and thought
they had got hold of the left wing of the Fen

out their mistake.

the following officers were chosen for 1876:
President Seth G. Gordon, by reclamation:

scene Of the engagement. Capt. Westover's
company were provided with Springfield
breach leaders, and had been drilling for some
time past Rowe, one of the Fenians killed,
was buried by the Canadians last evening
After the burial large stones placed at the
head and foot of the graves, and pile of stones
on top. Much comment has been made con-
corning the manner of the burial. A report
has been received that Gen. Donnelly is more
badly wounded than at first supposed, and
Tears are entertained that he cannot live, a
nigh fever has set in He was wounded in the

Burlington, has been to Hibbard's Corner to-

Meetings were held at Hibernia Hall and
other places, at which stirring speeches were

almost entirely deserted, all the more promi-

and Col. Graynor have filled their regiments,

Albar tonight. About 500 men left by the
ana II O clock trains over the Hudson River
railroad. Now that the first feeling of depres-

O'Neiil has passed away, the general feeling is
that it will no more interfere with the success

ArRAN1.-Such is the name of beautiful
painting by the celebrated artist George L..
Brown, now on exhibition at Hale's. 1t repre-
sents view of the town of Atrani on the Gulf
of Saerno, about forty miles south of Naples
In the foreground, on the left, will be seen
road winding amond the mountains, along
which woman and child are walking. In the
middle distance will be noticed a tower or fort
of great antiquity, jutting into the sea, which
was built ty the Saracens, while half way up
the mountain will be seen a building opposed
to have been the home of Mansaniello. The
church of San Salvador stands out prominent
ly from the canvas, celebrated as the place
where the election Of the Doges of Amalphi
took place in the thirteenth century.
The painting is characterized for that Won
derful atmospheric effect over mountain, sky
and water, so peculiarly Italian. The water is
soft and transparent, and the Abrazzi Noun
tain capped with snow in the distance presents
pleasing contrast to the otherwise warmth OF
the picture.
