a pioneer CT the state, occurred this
forenoon, and was an imposing DEM
onstration. The Free Masons, Odd
Fellows, and all the carriages in the
town and surrounding country were
in the procession. AS the melan-

closed from one end of the street to
the other. Never before, perhaps,
has there been such universal man.
