take the privilege of thus publicly
expressing my high appreciation Of our
glorious Reunion. 1 confess that 1t
far exceeded my most sanguine expec-
tations. When we first drove down

play of flags and bunting and the great
crowd of citizens there embled, 1
confess to a sort Of pleasant bewider-
ment for the time, and then to see the
sociability and good feeling that pre-
vailed we were more than pleased, and
never did we feel so much laudable
pride for our old county, her capital
town, and her noble citizens. Surely
the getters up of the occasion and the
managers of the same are worthy OF
the highest ommendation-those indie
fatigable and never firing ladies and
gentlemen as well, who served in the
Exhibition hall, serving the great and
good repast to the hungry thousands
there assembled, will be remembered as
long as memory lasts with those that
had the good fortune to be there. If
any one of the great crowd failed to
get dinner, either in or out of the hall,
it was their own fault for public proc
lamation was often made that if any
one had not had dinner to come and get
it, and there was an abundance left
both inside and outside of the hall. 1t
surely was grand success throughout.
Some pretend to think that these Re-
unions are calculated to stir up Sec
tional animosity, but we think they
rather tend to foster fraternal spirit
than otherwise.
