Gen. Washington was then presented with

mingled with the spectators.
IT is almost needles, 10 say that the costumes
for the occasion, though eXtemporzed at home
were highly suitable for the characters for
Washington strikingy re,cmblcd the engray-
ngs with which every school boy is familiar.
Baron Ca,tin was dressed in a velvet tunic, az
ter the style Of the time Of Louis XIV.
Beneath his battered Morton" flowed
"a few long locks OF scattering snow,
And from the riVets OF his vest,
Which girtied in steel, his ample breast"
The -'santed sunbeams" MIGHT have glanced.

4 La Maria Theresa. trimmed with scarlet
and gold. and with Il mantle of scarlet. Bead
sandals tied with blue riL bon, her hair. loose
and flowing over her shoulders. was ornament
cd with feathers fastened and surrounded with
gold and pearls. She also wore a breastpin and
bracelets Of gold and pearls. and an enormous,
gold locket Originally picture France encos-
ing an immense garnet. William Wallace and
Lady Helen Mar were dressed throughout in
Scotch plaid, and looked as IIighanders should.
John Alden Wore the broad collar and Pi grim
hat with which he is usually repre- sen,ei.
Priscilla wore an overdress Of pink brocade,
which was truly ancient, it having been the
wedding dress of the lady's great grandm other.
Brother Jonathan was dressed in striped
coat made of bedticking, the skirts of which
reached the floor, and the buttons of which
were two inches in diameter. The Goddess f
Liberty was draped with the American flag
and wore a crown surmOunted with a. gilt eagle.
The costumes Of the other characters are equal
ly worthy Of mention with those given above.
but we forbear on account Of the difficulty of
doing the subject justice. and because it would
occupy too much space in your columns.
Thu, passed one of the most pleasant gather
ing> that ourtown ha, seen for many years.
Tn" only discredltable thing about the whole,
was the appearance Of the Town Hall, which,
Notwithstanding, was put in good condition
as possible. The Town Hall we regret to say,
i. not at sll credit to our community. but we
ardentIy cherish the hope that the many citi-
zens who agree with US in our OPT nion, will at
the next annual meeting of the Town see that
some action is taken looking towards the build
| ing of 4 new one, or the complete and thorough
renovation of the present one, at least, if the
subject comes up at the spring meeting. we
hope ii will not again be laid upon the table.
Castine. Feb. "a. RoTAToR.
/ There being quite a number of Episce-
( palians among the teachers and scholars
OF the Normal School. they were DESTROYS
OF having services conducted occasionally
in accordance with the forms OF their
church. Accordingly the Rev. Mr.. Miller,
Rector of the Episcopal church at Wiscas-
set was invited to visit Castine. which he
did on Monday 2lst inst. The Unitarians
kindly opened their house TO him where he
held services six times. and in the Metho-
dist house once. He was kindly received
BY all denominations. and lett a favorable
impression upon the minds of all.
The Normal School is unusually full
this term and runs smoothly. From the
first commencement of the Normal School
in this town. the scholars have been noted
for their good behavior aud correct deport-
ment.
