OF the people are, and pursuing the ordi-
nary vocatfons of everyday life, with the
exception of diyerging somewhat there

| Reunion. These preparations are being
made on quite an extensive scale and with
| a view to the agreeable entertainment of
guests, aud cordial welcome awaits all
who come as such, especially those of the
before mentioned Co. c., 1st o. l.. a.
| Able and efficient speakers will be in
readiness for the occasion, with truths
| fraught with vital interest to every pa.

mand for the renewal of the latent fires of
patriotism. as it behooves every lover of
freedom and Union to weigh the matter
carefully, and at the coming election let
their influence be on the side of right.
Soul-stirrinS music will greet the ear
with melodious sounds, we doubt not, as
there will be both vocal and instrumental
talent present.
