Memorial day exercises were had yesterday at Salmon Brook, this town, in Library Hall. Some of the women wore furs and most of the men were clad with overcoets. On the night previous there had been killing frost in all this region. Of those present not few were sad on account of their losses in garden and field. The orator of the day was Repre- sentative Mclean of Simsbury, who spoke without notes with an eloquence that was worthily admired by large and appreciatiye audience MT. Mclean is one of the few young men of Connecticut of whom she may be proud. Already he has learned, young as he is. that slavery sought to disrupt this Union, that slavery was overthrown by our civil war and that there is no legitimate place for slavery in th1s republic. His speech had the true ring in it from opening to ending. Still what he said about the soldiers the ''other side'' may not be altogether reliable. If he means to say, as most Decoration" orators do, that the souls of our dead heroes are in heaven in reward of their valor and sacrifice, he said more than he need to say. When one talks about the citizenship of heaven one had better seek to book himself up in the use of instruction respecting the matter given by enc commonly called the Master, who came from heaven and after about thirty-three years residence on the earth returned to heaven. Soldiers can well be praised, and well nigh worshiped without being assured of heaven. If the Bible be true, men who would enter heaven must seek to be fitted for it. Of the multitudes who fell on the various battlefelds of this republic over twenty years ago some, no doubt, expectation and preparation In behalf of our town, thanks to Mclean for his eloquent address. A young man of such worth can but be wanted by the State.
 Earl Goodrich, 8 skilled bicyclist of the town and medical student, visited Washing Hov n flu mil -h in nection with the bicyclists who convened there for better acquaintance and the display of .heir skill. Of all skilled amusements the writer regards bicycling the most hazardous and fruitless. The more bicycling is prac- ticed the butter for bicycle manufacturers and surgeons. The art subseryes also the interests of carriage repairers. June 1.
