MIDDLETowN SPRINGS
Tuesday morning early, citizens, old and
young, congregated in the cemetery, sup
piled with an assortment oftools and began
their work in earnest. Ia the meantime,
ladies in any number were lively in prepar-
alton for the dinner, centennial and mod
ern. BY the kindly hospitality of Mr..
Adams family, we we're admitted TO the Sc
cluson of their capacious yard, when at the
sound of ye dinner horn, the band and citi-
zens marched in order, 10 music, at the di-
rectons of the marshall Mr.. Warren Nc
Clure, and two hundred were seated at the
beautifully laid tables, where the eye ahd
inner man were equally satisfied. Often
the many appetites were appeased, IN due
time all were arranged and marched to the
cemetery where the ceremonies were COM
menced. Prayer by Rev. o. Myrick, 10
young ladies dressed in white trimmed with
evergreens and around with wreaths pre-
pared of evergreens, and flowers, presented
o picturesque appearance, while the band
played, distributing their floral offerings.
Addresses, by Roswell Buell., Rev. Mr..
Palmer, Rev. Mr.. Rose, were appropriate
and we'll rendered. At the close the pro-
cession marched to the Baptist church. the
band discoursed music, and three rousing
cheers. Mr.. Seaman's announced the days
exercises closed. The attendance was large
and the day passed satisfactorily.
The concert given by the band in the
evening assisted by the talent of Ira AID
Middletown, was a perfect success, the
number present though very good audi
ence, was not so large as could be desired,
owing to the fatigue of the day. Nearly sew
enty were present, proceeds about SlS.
The band organized in November last have
made rapid progress and are fine looking
company an acquisition to any enterprising
town. The young men composing the
band are, G. w. Phillips, leader, Justus
Hoadley, John Carnes, j. p. Maranville;
Aylmer Gardner, w. N. Norton, H. Gates,
F. Lincoln, T. A. Day, II. Farrar, G.
Peters, Geo. Hubbard, Frank Merrill. The
band are master OF n large variety ofpieces,
and far exceeded our expectations. Much
credit is due Mr.. Phillips for patience and
perseverance, also his pupils, who have not
tagged in their efforts. The programme
we must omit in detail for want OF space.
The pieces, solos, quartetts, and trios, were
of the best selections and admirably rem
dered being much applauded and encored.
We were impressed with the belief, that
Mrs. Gift was the Jennie Lind of the even
ing the assistance from Ira deserve COM
mendation and many thanks for their able
efforts.
The singers were all familiar with their
parts and did justice to themselves. We
conclude that if the band have repetition
some future day a crowded house will be
the result.
