ST. Patrick,s Day.

Yesterday was the anniversary Of the birthday
of Ireland National Saint-"St. Patrick's day in
the Morning"-but it was observed in quiet
manner in this city. There was no public demon
stra.on here and there might have been seen an
Irsh.American citizen dressed in his best attire,
who had ceased from his usual avocations and de-
termined to spend in quietness alone with his own
thoughts and q few boon companions, the hours
Of the day fraught with memories of the great Pat
ron snake eXterminator.
Not always has the day passed so quietly in Au-
gusta Thirty years ago or more, our streets on
this anniversary day resounded to the tread OF SOL
diery, and the echoes were awakened by martial
music, as native and foreign born Joined in pro-
cession and speeches and toasts, in honor OF the
day. There existed at that time the "St. Patrick
Benevolent Society,"" institution of kindly chart
ty. that celebrated the annual return of the day
Thew celebrated their third anniversary on St
Patrick's day in 1910, in their usual imposing and
spirited manner and dined at the Augusta House,
where toasts appropriate to the occasion, euiogs-
tic Of Ireland and her sons and daughters were
offered. Among those offering toasts were Judge
Fuller, Asaph r. Nichols, Joseph A. Homan,
Richard d. Rice, Maj. Daniel c. Weston, Wm A
Doe, Thomas Costello, and James Dealey +.
Holmes of the Farmer and Luther Severance OF
the Journal, were unable to be present, but sent
toasts. The sentiments breathe strong expressions
in favor of liberty and union and love of the
the adopted country. Gilbert II. O'Re1y was
President of the Society.
In 1912 the members of the Society appeared in
their usual handsome dress, badges, etc. Divine
service was performed at the Catholic church by
Rev. Mr.. O'Beirnc, who gave glowing history
and description Of the Saint, and urged his hearers

Joined by the Rife Greys, the military company
which was the pride of the town. The procession
took ND its line of march, through the principal
streets, and proceeded to the State house, A ban

speeches, participated in by r. d. Rice, G. NJ

In 1913 the Society celebrated the day by pub
