Rapid Growth of Fitzpatrick Post-Flag Presenta-

Special Correspondence National Tribune.
NEW YORK, August S-Judson Fitzpatrick
Post No. 143, Department of New York, was
formed in last December with ten members,
in Bunting Hail. One Hundred and Twenty
| fourth st. and Third Avenue, n Y. This was
very small number to start with, but as they
were ten resolute comrades it has been a
growing Post, making a steady gain all the
time. When mustered in on the 2Sth of De-
cember, twenty-One comrades were present
On Decoration day they turned out in uniform,
and by their superior marching and correct
alignment well earned the plaudits which
were bestowed upon them along the line of
march. They carried with them in the
march beautiful silk flag, which was pre-
sented to them by their warm-hearted friends
of Harlem. There had not been time for
formal presentation Of the flag so a few
evenings since the Commander gave a recep-
tion to the friends of the Post, and the flag
was then formally presented. The event
called out the notablcs of the G. A. r., and a
brilliant assembly were gathered in the Post
rooms There were present Gen. H. A. Bar
mum, Maj. Willard Bullard; Perley, Com
1nander Reno Post, No. "A; Walker, Commander
Rankin Post. No. 10; COmrade Carter, Sumner,
No. 2l; Woodruff, of Rankin, No. 10, and
many others whose names we did not get, not
to forget Sam MINES, unattached" who
can make more noise than any man in or out
of the G. A Z. The night was warm but the
room was crowded with not only notable G.
4. Il. men, bit also a fair proportion of ladies,
who, by their presence, added much to the
occasion. Gen Rs7num made a very happy
speech, telling how, when up at Syracuse, he
and Bullard had been made captive Sby the
fair maids of "Onondaga." Then came the
speech of the evening by Comrade Bullard in
presenting the flag to the Post. The speech
was exhaustive on the subject of flags and
demonstrated that Comrade Bullard had given
great care and study to its preparation. His
el0quence brought forth frequent rounds of
applause. Commander Reed received the flag
in a speech tcrse and full Of patriotism. The
exercises OF the evening were enlivened by
songs and recitations by kind friends who had
volunteered for the occasion. This Post now
numbers seventy members, a showing which
cannot be beat, we think, by any other Post in
this State 1t is destined to WELD an impor-
tant influence upon Grand Army affairs in the
New York Department.

my, Major John B. Lowell, of Post 5S, Wey-
mouth, commanding, made its first annual
excursion since its division formation We'd
nesday, July 9th, to Downers Landing q IA
nous and beautiful resort, located on the east
ern coast of the old Bay State, few miles
south of Boston harbor. An invitation was
extended by Commander Lowell to the Ply
mouth county boys to join in the excursion,
which was accepted. The day was intensely
warm but beautiful, and the boys rallied brave
ly, accompanied by their wives and daughters,
to "sniff" the delightful breeze of "old
ocean" Nearly every Post in the county was
represented with a delegation under its COM
mander, swelling the number of "Boys in
Blue" to 400 strong. After arriving in Boston
a line was formed under escort of the Wey-
mouth brass band and marched to the pleasure
steamer, which was soon steaming down the
harbor enjoying the sea breeze and sweet and
inspiring music discoursed by the Weymouth
band, one of the finest local bands in New Eng
land. At the landing the veterans partook of
one of Crossmans famous short dinners, after
which Commander Lowell, in n short and
pleasing address, introduced Past Grand Com
mander-in-Chief Gen. George S. Merrill, of
Lawrence, who made a splendid address, he
being followed by Past Department Com
mander Capt. J. G. B. Adams, of Lynn, in a most
felicitous speech. Eloquent addresses were
also made by Department Commander George
II. Patch, and members of the staff The
excursion was grand success and it is hoped
that more of them may take place, now the
Grand Army is organized so thoroughly under
command of a live and patriotic gentleman
Major John B. Lowell, of Weymouth.

STEWART-FLEMING.
A Quiet But Fashionable Wedding at
FairmOnt Yesterday.

For some little time past the fashionable
society OF Fairmont has been agitated over
the approaching wedding of Mr.. F. E.
Stewart, of Liberty, Nebraska, and Miss
Lucy NJ. Fleming, only sister of Judge A.
B. Fleming, of Fairmont. The interested
parties were in the highest circles OF
society, and the bride has innumerable
friends in that vicinity The affair was
happily contaminated yesterday morning,
the wedding taking place at IL o'clock at
The residence of Judge Fleming, and Rev.
j. B. Reed, pastor OF the Presbyterian
church, performing the ceremony.
Only Immediate friends and relatives
were interested witnesses Of the happy
affair. The groom was dressed in regula-
and attractive, seemed doubly so on this
satin de sole, with plush trimmings and
Jacket, handsome point lace collar and
cuffs-the collar being fastened with a pin
of beautiful and unique design formed
from fish scales, by one of her lady friends.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the
happy couple, together with the assembled
guests sat down TO a feast OF good things
which embraced all the substantials and
delicacies of the season. There were many
handsome and valuable presents, which,
however, were not on eXhibition-an inno-
walton on the old custom of what might be
termed oStentatious display. After brief
season spent in social intercourse, the
newly welded pair left for their new home
in Nebraska, followed by the good wishes
of their numerous friends.

end, his illustrations being graphically
drawn and in such manner as to enthuse
all present. The audience was q very
respectable one, yet not as large as the lee
turer deserved. All present say it was one
of the best lectures ever delivered in
GAINESVILLE, and il he would come again

those who attended would go again. Every
thing was new and entirely different from

JUDGE RAYMOND RESIGNS.
A Vacancy Created ON the Supreme
Beneh Of the ktRte. ~

A Vacancy Created on tne bupEeHe
Bench Of the HtRte. ~
A rumor was started out in the State and
worked to this city, that Judge A. F. Hay
mond would shortly resign his seat on the
Bench of the Supreme Court of Appeals
One paper published unequiyocally that
he had already resigned. On Tuesday Gov
Jackson had received no intimation OF It.
Yesterday evening REGISTER waited upon
the Judee at the St. James Hotel and asked
him point blank il he intended resigning'
All frs. he refused to be interviewed on the
subject, but finally thawed out and said he
had rendered his resignation to the Gov
ernor 10 take effect December LIST, and pre-
sumed it would be accepted.
The object of Judge Haymond's resigna'
ton is to resume the practice OF law at his
cid home. He has a son just en.erfng q
practice, and, desiring to guide and counsel
him, he will enter a copartnership with
him. -.. ,..-..., .s. ..r...s.
I Since the rumor of this resignation first
obtained credence, there has been, OF course,
no little talk of his probable successor.
Gov. Jackson said he would not until the
resignation was acted upon, speculate upon
an appointment Hints'have been received
by him, but he has not yet made up his
mind.
In the general conversation about the
State House and in legal circles, the sup.
position is that the appointee will be from
this end Of the State. The counties OF
Lewis, Harrison and Ohio are all mention
ed as the possible home of the new Judge.
In Lewis, the names of John and Henry
Brannon, the BENEFITS and A. A. Lewis are
spoken of, and in Harrison, G. ID. Camden
and John Basel are mentioned. Here in
Ohio, Robert White, Daniel Lamb, George
w. LETTERS, and several others are promi-
nently brought forward,
AS the resignation of Judge Raymond
does not take effect for nearly two weeks,
there is an abundance OF time in which
the Governor may make his selection.
