Now it is said that John McCul-
Tough, the actor, whose mind be-
came unsettled and was taken to an
insane asylum for treatment at
which place he gradually grew
worse, and was thought to be dying,
was removed to his home; is rapidly
recovering, and the greatest hopes
are now entertained of complete res
toration of his mental faculties. 1t
is marvellous, if true, of which
there seems to be little doubt. The
news will be hailed with delight by
those who have seen him when in
the zenith of his fame.

refund their ill-gotten wealth, but il
it is not done, then the law will be

| Col. Sawyer, of Hyde Park, he was es-
cOrted from the train by the Comrades
| of Post No. 10, G.. A. R., and Sons OF
Veterans, accompanied by the Westford
cOrnet band. About the usual time the
procession was formed. consisting of the
band, 80 girls and young ladies. repre-
senting the States of the Union, Post No.
10 and Camp No. II, escorting the orator
of the day, and citizens in carriages.
The marshal was Com. G. r. Curry. At
ter the exercises at the graveyard, in
accordance with the G. A. r. ritual, to-
gether with singing and appropriate mu-
sic by the band, the order was obeyed to
"break ranks and form again at the gate.
The address was delivered at the Con-
gregational church. Much credit is due
Comrade William M. Scott for the taste
full manner in which the church was dec
grated. A large arch, the supporting
pillars of which rested on the pulpit
stairs, reached nearly to the ceiling. On
the circle of the arch, in large letters,
were the words "Our Country" On the
left pillar was the word Army and on
the right Navy" On the bases of the
pillars were the dates 1776 and 1861. The
arch was heavily draped in mourning.
At the center of the curve, implying the
keystone, the word Constitution" was
painted on a detached piece of canvass,
which nicely initiated a block of white
marble. On the wall was large flag,
draped so as to allow, by looking
through the arch, view of a fine paint
ing of the naval battle between the
''Cumberland' and the 'Merrimac."
This picture is of large size and was
painted by Mr.. N. W. A. Fleetwood,
from a common wood cut. The address
was listened to by large and evidently
appreciative audience. Col. Sawyer gave
a personal Renaissance, the incidents
mentioned being familiar to many in the
room. At the close the speaker was
rendered rising vote of thanks. Sever
al selections were. given by the band.
The singing by quartette composed Of
Messrs. Waite, Herrick, Hulburd and
Cornell was highly praised, the first
song, entitled, Just Before the Battle.
Mother" meeting with especial favor.
The audience sang America" accom-
panied by the band, to close the exer
cises. The procession again formed.
marched about the streets and finally
dispersed. 1t is pleasing to notice the
growing interest manifested in the obser-
vance of the day. Also the absence of |
disorder in the streets, and that less |
shopping and marketing is done on that |
day than in former years.
