the cities and villages Of the land. All classes ana
sexes, forgetful OF their minor differences, united
In q work which commends itself to the heart Of
every one. Business was generally suspended,
and amid the pomp OF parade and martial music
flowers and evergreens were brought to brighten
the premature graves OF those who died that We
perity CONSEQUENT on an undivided country.

arrangements this year should exceed in numbers
and display the efforts made in the same direction on
previous similar occasions. In some places business
