organization and no procession, appeared
except from Gravel Hill, whose citizens
deserve credit for their enthusiasm. Pro.
badly they are jealous as being mostly new
converts. Some wagons were in from
the country; one Of them, with a
most enthusiastic crowd, bore the
motto, "Calico has Risen." A
transparency bore the words, "We will
see that Thurman's Grave is Kept Green, /"
and "Send US Voorhees, Again" Another
banner had no motto but was simply
draped in mourning. One wagon, full Of
young men. was down from Wheeling.
rhepmcession went over the central part Of
lOwn; but there were too few torches to let
Il be seen-many oithose that were carried
were blown ont ~ last as lighted. Among
the hnrsemen were several In calico suits.

elected and there was no farther fear OF
Ewing issuing al unlimited quantity OF
g'eenb4cks, G'eenbacks were at pre-
minm, aud he cuuld only get six dollars
for Seveu. His wife was satisfied, but
wouldn't let him have any more
money TO change. Mr.. Bippus was
only talking for the good OF work.
