 MEMORIAL DAY.-The sun arose and shone but soon withdrew behind cloud. Our sign-sayers would have it that it be- tokened rain and mud. Field, forest, man and beast wonld have rejoiced to have this saying prove true. Our roads are dusty, all vegetation needing rain. and meadows must fall short of an ordi- nary yield of grass, even though rain should fall soon.
 During the morning of the day tall forest pole was raised near the monument of Col. Seth Warner in Main street, and from near it's top our na- tional banner was flung to the breeze. Just above the flag two natural branches sprung upward for several feet. too slend- Ter to support the large flag. and on each of these miniature flag was nailed which gave to the whole very pretty appear ance.
 At2 o'clock P. M. Captain Cyrus B. Prindle, Marshal of the Day, mustered the veteran soldiers and citizens at the Chap ell: and with the beat of mufded drums and toIling bells. marched to the Warner monument, decorating it prefasely with evergreens and flowers.
 '.My country 'tis of thee" was then sung Thanksgiving by the Rev. James Davis was offered to the Divine presence, whose guiding arm had upheld us in the past, with prayer for blessings to rest up on the surviving soldiers, upon the wid' ows and orphans of the deceased, and fol the nation at large. &
 Remarks followed very appropriate to the day and to the memory of the de l parted revolutionary officers. The pro cession then formed, people proceeding both in carriages. and on foot to the cem etery. The soldiers of the revolution ant of the late war, including that of a con federate soldier (whose body rests in ou cemetery) were all alike bedecked witt wreaths, crapes and garlands of flowers - -----AS~ s.I1~A s-4OAo w0I also "reminiscences of army life by Geo.
