MEMORIAL DAY 1895.
Ceremonies at the Cemeteries.

Thursday, clear and bright, was the anniversary Memorial Day for the ac- ton of c. A. R. veterans. At precisely TAO, nine teams carried the D. s. Cowles Post and Relief Corps north ward from Canaan on their annual round of visiting the cemeteries.
 At Ashley Falls we were met by Miss Devine. teacher. and fourty -four schol- au in line, as aid in our service. Nine graves were visited in the old cemetery, and then the children sung and recited several pieces appropriate to the occa- sion. Quartermaster Sergeant Adams responded. Proceeding at once to the new cemetery five graves were decora- ted. the children joining with the vet erans. At $50 the procession started for Clayton.
 At Clayton, Miss Bottum, teacher, with twenty-four pupils laden with flowers, cheered our hearts. The children laid the boquets on three graves, and two young misses recited each we'll learned poem. Chaplain Roberts thanked the children and teacher.
 Arriving in Canaan Valley at 9 50 many residents were in waiting; not less conspicuously Miss Garfield. teacher, and fourteen scholars ready for service. The veterans decorated the five graves. and the mound for the "Unknown. . The children then sang and recited sev- eral short selections. Nor could we soon forget
 How one young miss,
 In cutely recitation,
 Threw each old vet a kiss,
 Inspiring recreation.
 Past Commander Van Deusen recog- nised the kindness and help of all.
 At 10.40 the teams brought up at East Canaan Grange Hall, just on time, but instead of using the hall for our basket lunch MT Henry Stevens had prepared tables and seats in the ample shade in his yard, and we at once spread our feast and ate the same, drink ing the hot coffee and ice water so gen. erously provided by ''mine host. Time flew too rapidly and we reluctant ly withdrew from the pleasant retreat, to pay our respects to the fallen ones in East Canaan cemetery. Nine graves were garlanded. Then under the shade of the evergreens the Post nsed the cemetery ritual service, and six ol Principal Stevens scholars read poem on Decoration Day" Miss Bigelo . $ primary pupils were present in full force, and all told the children number cd thirty-fonr. Sergeant Major Briggs gave the response to children and friends.
 At 12 o'clock the order came to "Forward." and at 12 30 the procession entered the lower cemetery Tn Canaan. Twenty-fouE graves were decorated there, and the last bouquet was laid with loving hands. At 1.10 o'clock with mercury at 90' the round of duty was completed, and every one felt con- scious of the excessive heat and dust
 A happy thought remains for refec. tion, that nearly 150 children and teach. CTS in this town had been engaged foi days in preparing for this memorable day. H.H.A.
