observed. The memorial exercises, under
the general direction Of Charles Thatcher
Jr., President and Capt. 4. G. lloughton

to the sacred memory Of the honored dead

tender, heartfelt appreciation Of the mul-
titued, who participated therein, Of the
sublime sacrifice so freely offered TO pre-
serve the integrity of our Union aud TO
perpetuate 70 the present and coming |
generations the priceless boon of consti- /
iutional liberty and equal rights. A pro-
cession headed by Wales band was
formed on Main street and marched to the /
cemetery where the exercises were open /
ed with prayer by the Rev. Mr., Weston,
after which the decoration, suitably inter
spersed with appropriate music discours-
ed by the band and the children of the
public schools, took place, loving hearts
and unsparing hands bedecking with flo
raj offerings in rich and rare profession the
green sod which covers precious dust.
