DEDICATION OF THE New Town HALL IN
SHREwsBURY.-rhe citizens Of the town of
Shrewsbury, ever alive to the interests and adj
vancement of the town, have just completed a

ern, and is an imposing structure. The entire

frances, hanking the main entrance.

Miss Susie Green, with Henry $. Rice as accom-
PIANIST. Hon. W. w. Rice, the orator of the eve
ming, was introduced by c. 0. Green, Esq, and
began by saying that, as he was not native or
a resident Of the town, he did not consider him
self familiar enough with its early history to
review the many interesting items of
local interest. Tho town was first settled
in I'LL, and in 1927 the charter was
obtained and the town took its place with
Others The name Of the town was undoubtedly
taken from the town of the same name on the
river Severn, in England. During the revou-
ton the town of Shrewsbury furnished TO the
American army its first commander-in-chief, and
was in every way faithful to the colonies in their
struggles for independence. OF the fourteen
towns embraced in Worcester county in 1865,
Shrewsbury was sixth, and it was not until
1856 that Worcester pushed ahead and took
its place as third in the county. In 1865,

ries OF comrades killed by rebel bullets were
brought up by the gathering together Of the
soldiers, as is commonly the case at military re-
unions. The members of this company told no
bloody stories of fields won by their special
bravery; but rather congratulated themselves
and each other on the easy time they had during
their year of service, which was principally
spent in doing guard duty at Washington. The
officers under which the company marched from
home came back in the samecapacity, and the men
returned with the full assurance that they had
done their whole duty honorably and we'll
