Memorial Day.

Comrades aud citizens, once more l think it proper to call your attention to the fact that, 21 years ago, a gun was fired in Charleston harbOr that many thought to be the "crack of dOOm'' for the Union. Then came four years of ter rible warfare. For P years, the bones of many of the fathers and sons of the town of NeWtown have been bleaching in unmade graves. Their names have al- most faded from the records and can scarcely be recalled to memory. The South teaches us a lesson ill this respect, not q man in all the southern land who died for his State, who died for his peO- pie, has been forgotten and their names are engraved in enduring stone and their memory kept perpetually green. They have not forgotten their dead and we have not kept ours in mind. l trust, comrades and citizens, that we shall not consider it foreign and apart from our purposes as citizens of NewtOwn to en- courage the effort made each Both of May by the living representatives of our hero ic dead. It is earnestly expected that the clergy of the different denominations will bring the matter fOrcibly before their congregations on Sunday next and we hope and trust that the patriotic la dies and school children of the town will aid the comrades in procuring flowers for decorating purposes. The following comrades are hereby detailed for the several cemeteries: Daniel w. Camp, Newtown cemetery; A. W. Peck, flaw leyville and Taunton; w. A. Nash, Berk- shire; Charles Hawley, Sandy Hook; M.McMahon, St Rose. Post will meet at hall in Sandy Hook at 12 30 p m on the 30th of May and proceed in body to the several cemeteries, St Rose, Sandy Hook, Berkshire and Newtown.-[G. r. Lillis, Commander.

Since the store closed, Charles Bene- dict has generously allowed the Hatter- town mail to be left at his house on the corner, where it is handy and convenient for all to get their mail. But there are some who persist in carrying it to their own homes, compelling people to chase all around the neighborhood afterit. Re- gently one man brought up package of letters and carried them around in his pocket week before he gave them to their owners. We hope that in the fu- ture, they will leave the mail where it is usually kept.
