beautiful grove All the arrangements, which
were suggested by the thoughtful committee,
were perfected, and early this morning the
crowds began to come 10 from every quarter.
The early part of the day was spent in such
amusemeuts as suggested themselves and the
meeting and greeting of friends who had not
seen each other for many a long day. At II
o'clock Mr. Tredick, chairman OF the commit
tee, announced the following order of exercises:
Prayer by Rev. A. NJ Hershey; music; read
ing Of Declaration of. Independence; addresses
by Rev. Mr.. Bayne, of the NJ, E. Church;
VIM. K. Hoffman, esq, of the Baltimore bar;
DR.. Hancock; Elisha Meredith, esq.,, of the
Prince William bar; Judge Weed, of Washing
tor, D. G.

all feeling that they had spent delightful day,
and one which was productive OF much good.
