There was a Murphy anniversary
held at Eldorado ON Sunday, the 23d
inst, which was attended by several
of our local speakers and citizens.
There was, we are informed, a very
large attendance of people, between
two and three thousand being on the
grounds. Several prominent speak
ers were there from Indiana, among
whom were Hon. VIM. Baxter, Hon.
W. w. Curry, former Secretary of
State of Ind, both of whom made
~rousing speeches, and much enthusi-
asm prevailed. j. A. Gilmore and
L. G. Abbott followed the gentlemen
from Indiana with stirring addresses.
The Murphy choir of Eldorado made
the woods vocal with melody. Cas-
tine had tastefully decorated wagon
there with the motto, "Castine greets
you with charity for all and malice
towards none." Everything passed
off finely. AT night Messrs. Gilmore
John T. Deem, Frank Mitchell and L
c. Abbott, held a rafting Murphy
meeting in New Paris, by special in.
v~itation. The Murphys seem to be
wide awake in the north part of the
county.
