time an immense crowd had gathered upon the
street expecting to see the Akron brothers drill
in full uniform, A rain, however set in Just as
the Star Battalion had formed upon the street and
they were compelled to seek shelter in the Court
House. When the rain ceased it was too dark to
drill and the performance was abandoned. The
AkrOnites were then taken back to the lodge
rooms where most pleasant evening was enjoy.
ed. Alto o'clock the party proceeded to partake

REUNION AT NEW PHILADELPHIA.-By far the
most succes ssful reunion of the summer was that
of the 51st, 8Oth 16lst and 3Oth regiments, at New
Philadelphia last Wednesday. The citizens en-
tered heartily into the spirit of the demonstra-
tion, and the residences and business houses al
most without an exception, were beautifully dec
GRATED. Stanley Matthews was there and talked
pleasantly and sensibly to the boys with never a
word about politics. General Eckley, Major
Townsend, and Captain Ullman, also delivered
pleasant speeches. In the evening the town was
in a perfect whirl of excitement with a half
dozen or more bands playing, thousands Of gas
Jets and Chinese lanterns brilliantly lighting the
city, and the streets crowded and jammed with
people. 1t was altogether the most glorious day
New Philadelphia ever saw, and everybody had
the biggest kind Of q time.

CEMETERY IMPRovEMENT.-The proposed Inn
provement of the cemetery about which we made
mention two weeks ago, has taken shape, and
through the efforts OF the ladies' water is to be car

step towards the beauhfying of our burying
grounds. Fountains and miniature lakes
will be the first result The valuable addition
however, will be expensive and half the cost
somewhere in the neighborhoOd Of 81 OOO-will be
borne by the Ladies Association. They have in
their treasury at present about 5000, we are in
formed, and the additional $500 will undoubtedly
be forthcoming without serious effort.
