and talked in very interesting manner

war, from the landing of the first slave
on these shores; spoke of the fruits of
that long-contnued and fierce struggle,
the dangers from which it saved the
country, and the blessings which have

Mr.. Rernick is a brother of Mrs. L. B.
Heald of this place, and made an ex-
ceent impression upon all who heard
his fine address. Theexercises at the hall
closed with the singing of America by
the audience.
The organizations which acted as es-
cort for the Post carried out their parts
admirably. and to their hearty co-opera-
tion is due in no small degree the success
OF the days observance. The band was
prominent feature, as usual, and did
excellent service. The parade was gen

was, on the whole. better than that of
last year. The Post was assisted by the
Relief Corps in many of the preliminary
arrangements, the reception and prepar-

The audience showed their apprecia-
tion at frequent intervals, nearly every
number being encored. Miss Brown is
new singer on the St. .Johnsburv concert
platform, but has won her way to pub
lie favor; she has voice Of clear, sweet
quality, and her work on this occasion
was well done, giving promise of still
greater success i'll the near future. The
selections by the Orchestral Club were
finely given, and our people have
reason to be proud of this organization
which is the source of so much musical
pleasure to them. A special and most
agreeable feature of the programme was
the appearance OF some fifty young
misses from the Union schools in the two
choruses above named. The first one
was preceded by ring drill, the children
marching to orchestral accompaniment
and performing series of motions with
be-rbboned rings. The group of lassies
in white made pretty picture, and the
drill was gracefully and accurately done,
much to the delight ofthe entire audience.
The children were specially trained in
these evolutions by Miss Harvey the as
sistant principal. Miss Grace Mcleod
made capital Goddess of Liberty, and
Miss Sadie Cameron was good as the
fairy supporting the goddess.
The other participants in the enter
tainment, all of whom have been heard
often sang and played with their usual
excellence and were awarded full
measure of the honors. B. Frank Har-
ris and Miss Margaret Gorham were the
accompanies during the day and even
ing exercises
