was made by some in the procession. Seeing
lack of enthusiasm, one Of the Boston gen.
tlemen opened his mouth and let off tre-
mendous cheer, which caused a temporary
halt in the procession. He had just got his
capacious lungs inflated to let off another
young hurricane, when his host caught him
by the throat, and hung to him, saying mo
