Easter Monday being always general
holiday for the sons and daughters of Ham,
was celebrated by a cake walk at the Lyceum,
commencing about o clock, =. NJ. and kept
up until nearly daylight. Unfortunately the
pleasure Of the participants was marred by
the presence of a lot of colored roughs from
Westminster, who ushered in the morning
hours by their discordant bowls and yells on
the public street much to the annoyance of our
quiet people, and in the interval ofthe arrival
of the early train the behaviour of the crowd,
both male and female was disgraceful, aided
spiritually, but not improved, before leaving
the town. Most of the assembly embraced
our usual well behaved set around here, who
left the hall early, owing to the presence of
the above mentioned roughs, who afterwards
had all the fun themselves until the morning
train took them off.
