The Horrible Parade.

Immediately upon the arrival of the
train the company of lIorribles appeared
Oh the street, commanded by Capt. ii.
II. Collins. VIM. A. Shattuck, Alvall
Sturgcsss and G.. s. Curtis were the
committee appointed to superintend
that matter which seemed to have been
very faithfully done. A finer display
of this character, we have never seen
upon any like occasion.
OF the many special features of the
parade the most pleasing was the car,
drawn bv three horses hitched tandem,
each horse having rider, carrying
upon a raised platform the Goddess of
Liberty bearing the National Colors.
AT each corner of the platform sat an
armed guard, the two in front bearing
battle-axes and the two in the rear carry
ing heavy sabers. The goddess wore
very pleasing look and appeared to
stand about II feet in her stockings.
A diapidated carriage containing a
masculine looking female bore this ill.,

A cage containing an "African Hy-

horsemen, the ghost and his satanic
majesty were the more noticeable. Both
were deliberately got up and were very
pleasing features of the parade.
