himself ready to receive the congratula.
tions of all his friends. Young and old
had turned out In town to see that the
celebration was properly observed, and
quite number of people had come from
abroad to participate in the festivities.
A banquet, to crown the OCCASION, was
prepared, to which the people of Lodi
contributed. The birthday dinner was
partaken of by all present, and after this
had been properly attended to by the
concourse of people there was some little
speech-making indulged in by several
gentlemen. The event passed of in the
pleasantest manner, and the old gentle
men felt highly gratified by the many at
tentions showered upon him by his fell
