MES there of interest. On the return
the Post escorted Lieutenant Herrick
to the hall where the band played a
patriotic air. The hall was packed
full. Comrade Collision presided and
some brief G. A. R.exercises proceed
ed the address,; the Barton Glee Club
sang two pieces which were specially
appropriate and were very finely
sung The address of Rev. Mr.. Her
rick was we'll written and of much
interest. He led his hearers back to
an early period in European and
English history, and noted the two
spirits; the Cavilier and Puritanic
which prevailed, and which continued
until the time of the settlement of
America; the one finding admission
at Jamestown, the other at Plymouth.
One was the aristocratic, domineering
spirit, which made slave masters, the
other the element which neither
sought to enslave, Or tolerated the
slave spirit. Later when the two an
tagonistic elements clashed in con-
f1ict over the slavery question the
Puritan spirit prevailed. The speak
er's remarks on the character, the
valor and the achievements Of the
soldier volunteer were Of special in

which was prepared at the new hall.
