 IN MEMORY OF THE SOLDIERS
 Last Saturdays occurrences in this village were fitted to the sad character of the duties set apart for the day. The good sense of the people drowned on any move to make it festival day, as has been done in some past years, and as was done this year in many places. All the events here were such as might be looked for among & people who had in memory the dead soldiers of the republic There was no unseemly jollity, and though all the mills were stopped and the streets pretty we'll thronged during the day, no report of disturbance has yet been made. Tho sky was lowery, but the rain drops few, aud just enough to help down dust. The out lying cemeteries were visited according to published program, and soon after p. m. the procession moved through Main street to the Stafford Springs cemetery, comprised of platoon of police, the Citi- zens' Cornet Band. Torrent Engine Co, Temple of Honor, G. A. R., and other vet erans, each bearing baskets of flowers, Band of Hope, and citizens in carriages It was good looking procession in every respect-nnmbers as well as quality. A few rain drops fell just as the procession reached the cemetery, so that the exer- cises there were brief, consisting only of prayer and decoration. Returning a de- tour was made through Woodlawn grounds, giving an opportunity to view the entire length from Main-st. The Band of Hope made particularly pretty feature of the parade. The procession was well marshall ed by Anthony Adams.
 In the evening an assemblage of 600 or more gathered at Oronoco Rink. Prayer was offered by Rev. J. P. Hawley, and Post Commander Parsons was master of ceremonies. A quartette, comprising Mr. Eaton, bass, MT. Sweet, tenor, Miss Will Hams, soprano, and Mrs. Simonds, alto, accompanied by MT. Dimock, organist, gave some fine songs, suited to the occa- airn Miss Williams also ein0ino colo
