Ing had been extensively advertised, un.i tho
sad news # garding the attempted assassina-
ton OF the president had either not reached
most persons In the country or was doubted
10y them, so that none stayed away because
OF 1t. The crowd began flowing In early
from every direction, the various roads he.
Ing lined with carriages, buggIes, wagons,
horsemen and pedestrians. by ten O'Clock a
large concOurse OF persons had assembled. |
aud shortly after this the exercises of the
day began. Col. ID. Reddtngton, editor of
the Herald, acted as master of ceremonies. |
officiating with much dignity. The Marshall
band furnished the music. AT the appointed
time Col. Reddinston called the meeting to
order in a few well chosen remarks. Mr.. j. |
d. Mediation then read in u clear tOne and
with much impressivsness, the Declaration |
OF Independence. This was followed by an
address on Jefferson. by A. A. Lesueur.

history OF the country and lis great growth
10 \ comparatively short time. He dwelt at |
some length upon the political events OF the
ante-revolutionary period, and the effect
which they had upon this ami other coun-
tries. He glowingly eulogIzed Washington,
Lafayette, Green, Henry, Jefferson and
Adams, and closed with a feeling alluslon to |
the terrible calamity which had befallen the |
country In the assault upon President Gar |

the people to value and to guard their liber-

was announced. In a very few minutes the
grounds were transformed into numberless |
picturesque groups around bountiful spreads
OF good things. All was hIlarlty and mIrtb |
tempered only by the solicltude felt for Gen. |
Garield's recovery. After dinner Judge

July speech. He apostrophized the heroes OF
the revolution, and said something of the
momentous events in which they were the
actors. when he came down to old times in

men had been given front leafs on purpose,
and they listened to his humorous reminders
Of pioneer days with evident Interest and ap-
probation. The tossts Of the day were then
