4 Unayentful Eat General Observance Decorating
General HeGde's Grave.
The Observance of Memorial Day in Phila-
delphia was universal. but there was no event
OF unusual interest. The various Posts decorated
the graves in the cemeteries TO which they
were assigned, but there Has 40 general street
parade.
One of the leading events Of tho day was the
celebration by George G. Meade Post No l, to
which was assigned the duty Of decorating the
graves of soldiers and sailors IN North, Middle,
and South Laurel Hill Cemeteries. Assembling
at Eleventh and Chestnut streets, the members
marched east TO Independence Hall, were they
placed laurel wreath and flowers upon the
Washington statue, and were there Joined by
Major King and Postmaster HGidekopcr, who
rode in one of several carriages containing
invited guests. The Post then marched
to Ninth and Green streets and were con-
veyed TO the Green street entrance OF the
Park. Gathering around the Lincoln Moau-
ment they hung upon each side OF the col
unin military designs in immoTtelles. Twenty
chorister boys from st. Marks and the Church
Of the AHnunGiati0n rendered hymn and Gen.
w. W. II. Davis, of Doyiestown, made an ad-
dress Then they marched on board of one o{
the SchuyllIili steamers and were conveyed to
Laurel HILL Reforming, the Post marched to
the chapel, the ehoristers singing sn appropri-
ate professional hymn. In the Chapel an ora
tion was delivered by Rev. Joseph Z. Lowering,
vino Is the pastor OF s Congregational church in
Worcester, Massachusetts, Addresses were ms%te
by A. J. Sellers and J. g. Wray, officers of the
Post; dirges We're sung; prayer was made by
the Rev. /. Newton Ritner, and the men We're
detailed to their respective districts to decorate
the graves including that Of General Meade,
at whose monument another hymn was sung
| by the choristers. This Post had 176 men in
| line aud carried a dozen furled and tattered
| battle-fags. Cavalry Post, No. So, went to
| West Laurel Hill Cemetery, attended by a
firing party of eight men detailed from the
First City Troop. Colonel Theodore w. Bean
was the orator. After the decoration duties
were over salute was fired over the grave OF
Colonel Clothier, formerly the chaplain of the
Eighty eighth Pennsylvania regiment. Then
taps were sounded and the Post mounted
and returned to the city.
The graves of General D. B. Birney, Lieut..
John I. Greble, Captain Courtland Saunders,
Admiral Charles Stewart, and General Hector
Tyndale were among those specially honored
Pest No. 5 was joined at Ait. Moriah Cemetery
by tho Ladies Aid Society, and it received
upwards of three Thousand plants as eontribu-
tions for the public schools, allowing two plants
for each grave.

A NATIONS GRATITUDE.
Reports From Various Depart
ments Of the Grand Army.

The reports which we have 50 far received
indicate that Memorial Day was more generally
observed this wear than ever before, and a.
fhcurh the weather was in some sections Of the
country anything but propitious it does not
seem to have chilled the ardor OF oar comrades
or rdampened tlein-cntlusiasm We present be-
low some Of the leading features OF the celebra-
ton selected with q view 10 the interest which
they viii hage Cor our readers generally rather
than ohe residents Of any particular locality or
fhcmcmbers Of ANY particular Post, and our only
regret is that TIE TRIBUNE is not spacious
enough to contain the record Of what every
ono Of the six thousand ODD Posts Of the Grand
Arny did to commemorate the services Of our
fallen heroes. From the far West we have not,
rs yet, owing 10 the obstacles which time and
6istaace olrer, received any reports, Thlie OF
the lnany that have reached US from less re-
mote points some did moi arrive in season to be
eaita2 for publication. Nearly three pages Of
the present issue, however, are occupied T'ith
Memorial Day reports. and they arc quite
voluminous enough to give our readers an
adequate idea of the spirit which everywhere
characterized the Observance Of the aRniver-
esrU
