The graves of the dead heroes who are
denosited in the different grave yards il
Elxton were beautifully decorated with
garlands ON Monday last, the 30th of May
Aided by the loyal citizens of the town,
Post No. il G.. A. II. visited the graves OF
their late comrades planting the national
flag, together with y profusiop of flowers
on each silent resting place. After appro,
pirate prayers by Rev. Father Blake and
Rev. James. McIntre, the Post adjourned
to the village of Cherry Hill, where they
were met by number of friends who rem
dered assistance in paying this tribute of
respect to the memory of the fallen brave
who lie in the grave ward at the village
The Rev. Mr.. Bodine made a very fervant
PRAYER. at the conclusion of which Henry
IL. Torbert, Esq, being invited to the
stand. made n short but affecting speech.
The many fearful eyes showed that the
memory of the fallen soldiers cannot be
forgotten, but will ever live in the hearts of
every true American.

"There are now, and have been, LOT some
time past, number Oh very suspicious

citizens should keep sharp lookout. 1heir
continued presence betokens no goed, anu,
as we remarked, they should be closely
watched. Their whole outward appearance,

the more necessary to be on the alert

OF those grand eXhDltlons this evening aI
the Hall. This Will posltlVely close the
exhibitions, and owing to the great expense
and trouble required i'll getting them up, 1t
is probable that such another brilliant dis
play of beauty and art will not be atforded
our citizens in long time so those who
have not witnessed this rare representation
of art, should be sure to be present THIS
evening.
The musical pieces have been very popu-
