"On Friday night the hall was bril-
liantly illuminated. and sometime before
the hour appointed for the ceremony 10
commence there was large collection
OF gentlemen and the galleries were
crowded with the young and beautiful
of the fair sex. A few minutes before

dressed in some ouilandish garb, with
great many little flags stuck all around
his hat. He was armed with a tremen-
dous bludgeoA surrounded by motley
crowd, al armed to the teeth with
brooms and umbrellas. declaring that
no oneshould be1Raugprated that night
except himself, and that he intended
to hold his position Of the point Of the
bayonet. He made several Intellectual
attempts to take possession of the stand,
but was driven back by the partizans of
Jarboe. At Z o'clock Col. Jarboe,
dressed in full uniform, was escorted 10
the stand amid great demonstrations of
enthusiasm. Col. Jarboe then deliv-
cred his inaugural address. At the
close OF the address the oath OF Office
was administered by Chief Justice Car
roll to Col. Jarboe as Town General.
Then Col. Loker stepped forward, and.
in beautiful little speech, delivered to
him the sword Of office-the crowd all
standing uncovered while the ceremony
was being performed. All the time the
juvenile band was discoursing most
beautifully sweet music. Col. Jarboe
is lively, genial gentleman, very fond
Of joke as well as Of terpsichorean
exercises, aud after the ceremony was
over, spent most Of the time in dancing.
He persuaded General Baily to make
up with him. and at last got him to
dance the Jig of Reconciliation" with
him (Jarboe.) After the dance Gener-
al Baily was called on for speech, and
when he mounted the rostrum Col.

more experienced General than myself, am i'm

your possession.
I" Ii was pleasant TO see his face light
up and broad smile Of satisfaction ex-
Pand his countenance as he received
back again the much priced sword, and
very pleasantly and politely he thanked

speech:
