At ROCKVILLE.
Word was given out by the visit
ing Brookville people that they
would celebrate Monday night, and
an urgent request for Salina people
Ia attend accompanied the notifira-
ton. On the $40 p. m. train going
west there were fifty or sixty Salina
Republicans, accompanied by the
Fourth Regiment band, and armed
with tin horns. Passing drought
Bavaria blast was given from all
the wind instruments which must
have sent a thrill of terror through
each BavariAn frame. Arriving NJ
Rockville the column-aiter
some time waiting-was formed
and trooped about the va
rious streets, the bands sweet
concord alternating with the tin
horn discurd. The sounds, aud the
marching figures in the cleaning,
must have suggested to BroOkyille
spectators that q Christmas festival
was at hand. One pedestrian who
belonged to the column remarked
that he had arrived at the age OF
20 and had just at that moment
discovered tnAt he was a musician.
And his tin horn was not nearly SO
long nor 80 vehement by several
lengths as many Of its companions
After the happy procession had
marched to its hearts content and
drowned BroOkyille in huge vol
umes Of awful noise, q march was
made to the hall where the ratifica-
ton speeches were made. VIM.

made by Judge Weaver, Hon. T. l.

Capt. MOIIler aud Geo. White. The
speeche= were all short aud sweet.
and well received. Dispensing
about o'clock the hours interview
