! Notwithstanding the opposition to the
9th.s street site, Manchester mustered IN
force yesterday in honor of the great occa-.
sion which riveted in the bonds of eternal
friendship and prospect ty Ma nchester with
her sister city Richmond.
In consequence of the rain coming up

the place Of The ceremonies, our Richmond

hearing some delightful singing.
The breaking of portion of the plat.

proprietor long resisted the grant tt
MAYO for the erection Of q bridge on til,
GROUND that it would be violation 0
his vested rights. At length, finding oppo
sition futile, he withdrew it, saying, lie
him build the bridge if he can, but he Wi
be ruined first" The ferry landing was Of
the sandy bar at the end Of 18th street, an
