church next SaODatn, morning anu
evening. This will be Mr.. Peasc's
last visit here before going to his new
field of labor at Maiden, Mass.
Our Lebanon brethren painted that
burg red last Friday evening, and it is
said that over 5000 "palnters" were
present. A delegation from this place,
headed by the Woodstock Cornet
Band, went over to help them mix the
paint and keep up the color, and prob
ably jollicr crowd never sailed on sea
or land. Among the boys was a
youth, Col. Thomas j. Pvrry, now
entering on his SD winter, and he
might well exclaim with Shakespeare,
snow is the winter of my discomfort,
made glorious summer by the son Of
York"-Grover Cleveland. He stood
the trip we'll, and on the return OF the
delegation, and while waiting in the
depot for the train, VIM. H. Heating
called on him for speech, to which
he responded, and at its close was
loudly cheered. Hc was the only live
man of the delegation the next day.
They tell many "stories" about the
party, all of which we take cum grano
sails, knowing the effect excitement
has on q body of men. Had it been
settled upon earlier that the band was
going, the band would have been bet
ter organized and the crowd larger.
The boys enjoyed it immensely, and
return thanks to the Granite State
boys for "showing them round" "in-
PRODUCTION to the man in the closet, >"
free lunch. etc. We intended to be a
"chiel amang EN-, taking notes." but
business prevented, and as the philos-
opher has it, "whatever is, is right"
and we take it this was, for some pur-
pose, right also.
Our Republican friends cannot
lay it to the wicked Democrats. St.
John furnished the water and Parson
Burchard the rum.
