ssUAIL TO THE CHIEF."-SERENADE TO CHIEF
LIE Down ToGETHER''-AND ALL FOR THE
SAKE OF PROGRESS.
Last night about 10 O'Clock, large number
of the citizens of Sunbury, accompanied by the
Cornet Baud, repaired to the residence OF Solo
mon Mallick, Chief Burgess, who was reelected
for the third term on Tuesday, for the purpose of
rendering their compliments and a serenade to
that highly honored gentleman. After the band
performed piece, his Honor was called out. He
came and made a neat and appropriate speech,
modestly discardiug the idea that his election
was entirely compliment to his personal worth,
and attributing it to the ideas of progress that
have taken fast hold of the people. In this he
was right. He then invited the concourse into
his dwelling, where congratulations fell thick
and fast upon his Honor. Men were there of all
the different shades of politics, who helped to re-
elect Mr.. NJ. on account of his progressive spirit
and his personal worth.
Lewis Dewart, the new Town Clerk, was called
for and made fine speech.
Col. c. Neff was next called upon, and re-
sponded with some well connected remarks.
Emil Wilvert was then brought forward, and
he gave an interesting account of how things
were conducted in the borough before it awaken
ed from its Rip Van Wrinkle sleep.
Jere. Snyder, Esq, followed in a speech re-
plete with fine language and the right spirit.
John b. Lenker was next called upon, and
made some happy and wel-timed remarks.
Nj. Geo. B. Kenn made a very concise and
good speech in regard to improvement.
Mr.. Ed. Gibson closed the evening with a com
plimentary speech to the Chief Burgess, and bid
ding the Band good night on behalf of Mr. NAL
lick.
This spontaneous commingling Of those who
differ on many other questions of public policy,
shows that whatever else agitates the public
mind in Sunbury, the great idea of "a long pull,
a strong pull, and pull altogether for bo-
rough improvement and advancement, is upper
most, and that is why the ''lion and the lamb
were together at Burgess Malck's residence last
night. The editor of the american was the lion,
and the editor of this paper the lamb. l-DGily of
Thursday.
We confess that the editor of the DGily showed
great meekness on the above occasion, and when
called upon for his speech, his timid phelinks
would not permit him to lie down, nor did we see
him eat straw, either.
