Infantry, Capt. Davis, won't through,
the maneuvres Of drilling, and ac.
quilted themselves handsomely. The
exerc Us Of the day commenced with
prayer by Rev. Massabeal; the
Declaration of Independence was
read by Rev. Penny, after which the
large assemblage was addressed by
Mr.. j. N. Hook, in al able and ele.

Our correspondent regrets that

on the ground.
For this we take off our hat and
make our best bow, as it is so hard to
find anybody to agree with us on
this point.
