The Grange Picnic al Cornwall

The Cornwall Grange of the Patrons of
Husbandry, held a picnic in beautiful
grove upon the farm of Mr.. Curtis James,
in that town, last Saturday, July 4th.
The other oranges of the county, and all
the people of Cornwall, besides some others
were invited, and at eleven o'clock a large
assembly of persons had gathered. The
Bristol Band furnished music for the occa-
sion. A procession was formed and they
marched to the speakers stand, and prayer
was offered by Rev. S. w. Maglll. The
Declaration of Independence was then read
by the grange lecturer, and Master L. L.
Robbins introduced Mr.. II. NJ. Ladd, of
Yale Theological Seminary, who gave the
principal address Of the occasion upon
The Influence of Puritanism in moulding
our National Life and Characte.
After the address the procession re-
formed and marched to the tables which
were artistically arranged, most beauli-
fully decorated and bountifully loaded
with the choicest yiands About 200 per
sons participated in the gustaiory cXer-
cises and provisions were made for more
than ms many more. After DINNER A. r.
Carr, Esq, as toast-mastcr, read sent-
ments and called upon quite number who
responded, some wittily others seriously.
1t was truly feast of reason and flow of
souls
The most ample provision had been
made for enjoyment for all CLASSES and

The GLORIOUS FOURTH so far as any
marked observance, came and went as
other days. The requlsition made by Rut-
land was duly honored not only by the fire
department and band, but by a goodly
number of citizens as well. Those who
attended by special invitation, are out
spoken and emphatic in respect to the
generous manner they were received and
cared for by those having the management
of matters at Rutland during the limited
time they were there. A year ago Wash
ngton engine company No. promptly
responded to an invitation of the alert
of Ludlow to spend the Fourth at this
place. Now the "Alcrt' has returned the
compliment, and it would seem ''the honors
are easy" so far rs Indebtedness is concern
ed, other than continued good will for
each organization is concerned-that, |
have no doubt, will continue undiminished
and uninterrupted.
While il is true, as before stated, that
nothing in the shape of a celebration was
attempted ut ihis place, the gfaigefs 10 the
number of some forty or whereabouts, had
little "run together, the objective point
among the female portion beng the fitting

FEE COMING SOLDIERS ne
UNION

On the 10Th Of August next occurs the
second grand reunion of the soldiers Of
Vermont at Burlington, to continue three
days. As the time draws near, which
brings the event, arrangements are being
perfected, steadily and efficiently, for the
occasion by those who have the matter I'M
der immediate charge. The unprecedented
success which attended the first attempt at
a general gathering Of all Vermont soldiers
made at Rutland in August last, givcs to
this second reunion ii peculiar charm to
every old soldier and a united interest on
the part Of every inhabllant of the state.
The enthusiasm which is felt at such II
time is something widely different from
that which is seen at almost any other oc-
casion, inasmuch as it is particularly spon-
taneous and unanimous AS WELL because it
brings together by the strongest of ties the
citizen soldiers of our state, II does not
as IL often remarked rekindle any of the
Feelings of luminosity which arose at the
breaking out of the war between the North
and South, neither does it possess the old
soldier with a love Of war or make him any
the less peaceful and honored citizen
But it brings on to a common level every
man who served his country in whatever
capacity-if only honorably so and ce-
menis still stronger the bond of brother
heod which penetrates and combines every
column of soldiery that went out from u.s.
We understand from one of the veterans
in command, that the arrangements now in
progress are looking towards consumma-
ton which will be somewhat different as
well as an improvement upon the reunion
of last year, and at the same time bring
about equally grand and satisfactory results.
stephen Thomas, the present commander
of the Grand Army of the Republic in
Vermont, is bending his best energies to-
wards successful gathering of the "boys
