To-day has long been looked forward TO b,
| the Patrons OF Husbandrv of this and .ad
| ioiniug counties az a day Of grand rsdaion D.
the different subordinate oranges. Promi
uent speakers, among others State LectnreI
| Morton, OF Charlotte, and 7. I. Tredway
OF Prince Edward, were expected to be pre-.
sent, but various circumstances hindered
| their attendance, and the attendance OF the
Changers from different sections and people
generally was greatly hindered by high
water. However, quite respectable num-
Der came, and pleasant relation was the re-
suit. After secret session Of short dura.
ton the doors o., the courthouse building
were open to all persons who wished 10 at
tend. S#, X
General William McComb called the meet
ing 10 order just before 9 O'Clock T. NJ,
making few appropriate and interesting re-
marks. He was sorry that the speakers an
ticipated were not present, but rs Mr.. Viii.
liam NJ. Amber was present and had accept
ed an invitation to address the audience, he
would now introduce that gentleman to en-.
terrain them.
Mr.. Amber came forward on the stand
and made very pretty little speech of not
theme was {" OMAN" He paid a handsome
tribute TO The fair sex land there were many
present.. He referred to the fact that while
other societies refused, yet the Grange adj
mitted her into the Order, and dwelt at
length upon her Influence and what the
Oranges, with womab'S help, were going to
do. Her influence laid not only around the
hearthStone, but where the patriotism Of the
State WAS concerned ..
At the expiration of Mr. Ambler's re-
marks Mr.. Holiday, Of SpetSy lyania, was
called for. aud made few appropriate re-
marks. He dwelt upon womln" also, her
influence and such like; and we noticed
many blush upon the cheek Of many fair
maiden as she caught bis compliments so
lavishly bestowed, and the beauX ''attend-
ing" seemed to all JOIN in q loud amen.
William It. Meade next took the stand.
He dwelt upou-well, yes, upon sconsdn
also. He wanted the blushing maiden Of
sixteen ('' s,reet arteen," you kao,r). They
would induce the young men to come to the
meetings. They would then stay at home,
and then they would keep their horses in
good condition to attend these meetings;
and all these things, besides other and
grester influences, she would bring to bear.
Note.-Mr. Meade is a married msn. His
remarks were very good indeed, and they
were as brief as they were good.
Mr. Cowherd addressed few words to
the-the -'.acomen." He implored their aid.
General McComb made very appropriate
speech, but l Gid not take synopsis of it,
neither OF the others, as it would take up too
much valuable space Of the Dispatch, which
his no room to spare at this time, and | knew
what l could remember would be quite
enough OF the proceedings. The latter gem
tIeman was interrupted by the committee he
had appointed 10 appoint time for great
demonstratiou) being ready 10 report. The
report recommended the third Saturday in
September, Ism day of the month, for the
demonstration, which will take place here.
Distinguished speakers will be present, and
grand time may be expected.
Messrs. james q. Boxley, Il, j. VALE, j. q.
Voolfolk, and others, were called oD, but
did not accept the Invitation.
The meeting adjourned sine die at $3.50
o'clock z. NJ, after pleasant and profitable
session.
The ladies no doubt feel highly elated at
the nun oeresS compliments bestowe upon
them and the high appreciation of their
worth, and doubtless on the next occasion
fully as good a representation will be pres.
ent-and We hope as pretty. ". ii. B.
