marks the night of tho third. The rain
had, however, ceased by midnight, and
the day was ushered In by the blowing
OF steam whistles, ringing OF bells and
firing OF guns, pistols and crackers!
The bombardment was kept up for an
hour or more, and then all was quiet
until o'clock.
At that hour young America, who
had rutired ON the previous evening
with heavy heart on account OF the
rain, was astir and welcomed the
dawninR Of the day with the discharged
of numberless packs OF crackers. Tho
booming was kept up until about
10 O'Clock, when for several hours
quiet again prevailed, and it was evil
