Rangers, No 1855, Ancient Order of For
estcrs, in conformity with a rule which
provides for q stated turnout once each
wear met at their Arms Saturday morn
/ inc last, at 8 o'clock to the number of over
one hundred. After forming in procession
they marched up Main to Water street,
! thence to the Depot, thence TO Main, on to
/ Bowcry, returning to Main, gjo Broadway,
| thence to Il grove on the Borden Company's
! land The order of procession began with
the stars and stripes followed by Robin
Hood in carriage, pclsonatel by Mr..
! John Radcliffe; mounted members in full
uniform viz; David Thomas, jr, John +.
| Lewis, Clements Rcidlcr Edward Duffy,
William Griffith, David Griffith; the Frost
burg Cornct Band Prof George Hooking,
leader; the large and magnificent banner,
! heretofore described in these columns
borne by four men; members of the Order
on foot, marshallcd Ls James Thomas and
d. $. Dewitt.
Arrived at the grove, whore a platform
had been erected for dancing, this amusc-
mcnt was INDUCED in hearty style until II
o'clock when slmptuous dinner, prepared
| by Mr.. William Griffith, was dispatched.
| Dancing was resumed after dinner and
continued until eleven o'clock, p. IN. At
three o'clock, however the procession re-
formed and returned TO the Arms where
| the members were disbandcd. On the way
down Main street some trouble was cX-
pcricnccd in keeping aloft the large banner
which, owing to the wind, became nearly
unmanagcablc.
To the credit of all concerned the order
was excellent, nothing occurring to mar
the general enjoyment in the slightest de
gree.
LECTURE.-Quitc large audience was
in attendance at the English Baptist Church
Tuesday evening, the occasion being a Lee
turc by Miss Kittic Shaw, New jersey
lady aged fourteen, on Temperance. In
troduccd by Mr.. Bradford, pastor of the
| Church, She at once launched into phillip
pic against the great evil which occupied
nearly an hour. Although quite severe il
was gratifying to find she did not use the
harsh expressions attributed to her before
reaching here. The lecture whether or
iginal ornot, was fall of good points, logic
ally arranged and well delivered Evidence
of excellent training was manifested
throughout the gestures and articulation
being exceptional for one so young, to
say nothing Of the dramatic power which
furnishes tear at short order to enforce 4
feeling point
After all, it is doubtful whether the
great cause of Temperance is assisted by
agencies OF this character, The best efforts
of our wiscst rctormcrs seem so futile of
good that not much can be expected from
platform dcclamations by little girls
