THE RETURN VISIT OF THE DRATrLEBoRo boys
"A FINE PROCESSION AND A GENERAL ILLU-
M1NATIoN AND JoLLIFIcATIoN
On Monday evening party of Brattle-
boro Republicans, filling five cars, and num-
boring nearly or quite 800 persons, went to
Bellows Falls by special train to join with the
Republicans of that place in their celebration
OF the Ohio and Indiana victories. party
of 400 from Keene arrived at almost the same
moment with the Brattleboro delegation and
there was a lively scene at the organization Of
the procession, which was very brilliant AZ.
fair and numbered between 500 and GOO men,
all in uniform, with three bands and drum
corps. The visitors were received at the sta
ton by the Rockingham companies, and at
the Island House q company of so horsemen
were drawn up to welcome the guests and
Join in the procession. The route of the pro.
cession was from two to three miles long, and
the time occupied in the march about two
hours. The citizens of Bellows Falls showed
themselves fully awake ON the occasion, and
the decorations and illuminations were gen
eral and very handsome and effective. A
pleasant feature of the display, near the be-
ginning of the march, was the arrangement
of platform at the junction of Church and
Westminster streets on which stood IS young
misses dressed in white, and each wearing
badge with the name of the state which she
represented. Red lights were burned as the
procession passed. and the effect was very
fine. Another incident of the OCCASION the
aptness of which all of our boys, at lenst, full
ly appreciated, was the tableaux at the resi-
dence Of Maj. G. G. Chaplin marshal of the
| evening, where, under a lawn tent, with suit
able illumination, stood q lady with six chill
dren in a row, ranging from a two-year- old
| up to - or H. and ending with baby in
arms, while placard informed the company
| that they were 'All solid for Garfield, and
more to come just as the march was COM
| pleted the professionals were joined by a
uniformed company of 80 men from Langdon,
| N. II. The visitors were all invited into
| Union hall, when the 80 young ladies, stand
| ing on the platform, again welcomed them.
| A brief but telling speech was made 10y Mr..
| Crawford, who had that evening spoken at
| Langdon, and an abundance Of hot coffee
and other refreshments was then served
| This part of the entertainment over, the
ranks were formed and our boys gave three
cheers for their hosts, three for Garfield and
! Arthur, and three for every conceivable thing,
in succession, that any Of them could think
of. On the march to the station the three
bands were united in one, and the result was
"A chorus for Garfield and Arthur which ought
to have been heard as far as Indiana Our
| delegation reached home shortly before o.
| clock, and it is needless to say that all who
| joined in the excursion enjoyed the evening
| in the highest degree, and that the company
were unanimous in praise of the handsome
treatment received at the hands of their Bel
lows Falls friends.

Tho students and teachers of Leland and
Gray seminary, about eighty in number,
made call on Miss Eta Scott, one of their
number, at her fathers residence on Wednes-

provements in the de pot grounds and freight
yard So mote IL be.
Col. Haskins received telegram on Tues
day afternoon from Gen. Chester A. Arthur.
Republican candidate for Vice President. and
Chairman of the New York State Republican
Committee, urgently requesting him to 90 at
once to take the stump in Madison county,
n. Y, and naming appointments for him on
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. In
response to the request Col. Haskins left
home on Wednesday morning, en- route for
Peterboro, N. y, where he was to speak last
evening. This evening he speaks at George
town and tomorrow evening at Hamilton
lie will undoubtedly remain in New York
during next week, and we need not say that
he will do efficient and effective work for the
Republican cause.
Last Monday evenings Brattleboro dele
cation to Bellows Falls owe Fred Perry, the
engineer of their special train, a good turn
for getting them home at seasonable hour,
and without being obliged to wait indefinitely
at some way station for the freight to pass
The up night freight was ordered TO wait at
Brattleboro two hours, or till l o'clock Tues
day morning. The special pulled out of Bel.
lows Falls, on its return, at precisely 8 min
utes past IL with all regular stops to make
and not minute of time to spare. Mr. Per
ry had young and inexperienced fireman,
and was obliged to do his own stocking good
part of the way, but in spite of this double
work he brought his train here inside of 80
minutes-an exceptionally quick run-and,
by the means, sent some 300 or more Brat
tleboro people home, jolly and happy to bed
The very vigilant and impartial local re-
porter of the Springfield Republican, and Of
the Associated Press at this place, never fails
to make much of all Democratic meetings and
parades, however insignificant, and also of
such Republican demonstrations as he can
belittle with faint praise but the great and
enthusiastic Republican torchlight parade of
last Saturday evening, in which most of our
best known citizens participated, excelliug
anything of the kind ever seen in this vicin-
ty, appears very singularly to have escaped
his attention entirely. His sneering allusion
to it in Wednesdays Republican, however,
in which he says the procession is reported to
have contained just 1920" torches, all told,
indicates that this wide awake and fair mind
ed correspondent is now cognzant of an
event, which, at the time. possessed no small
degree of interest for a considerable number
of people hereabout. Judging by what we
see, local reporters" are not employed to
give prompt and correct information of local
events to our esteemed contemporaries " as
the phrase is, but are kept merely rs orna.
mental appendages, commissioned to impress
their own personal opinions and prejudicee
upon the public. In this view, the Brattle-
boro local" may be regarded as an eminent
success.
