noised abroad that the stars aud stripes
with the names of Hayes and Wheeler
attached would be flung to the breeze at
8 o'clock. As the time arrived our citi-
zens began to congregate. and soon the
street and sidewalk were lined with peo-
pie. fully five hundred being present.
Three hearty cheers greeted The raising,
and the NorwaJ Band saluted with the
"Slar Spangled Banner" and Yankee
Doodle" played in their usual excellent
style. Hon. Sidney Perham of Paris
followed with an excellent speech, we'll
timed and to the point. which was lister-
ed to with great interest to the close. Il
was really very pleasant and happy
affair in all respects and can but advance
the interests OF pure patriotism Ia our
midst, The campaign is well opened by
the Republican party in our town.
Mention should be made of Young

flag died awLy. three rousers with tiger
startled the listeners. and few rods be.

attached and crowd Of boys beneath il
making the welkin ring for the mex,
