brother that Mrs. Roxana Hebard visited |

created considerable delight and enthu-
siasm Monday was the appearance OF A.
5. West in the Mex inley parade with his
big bass drum. This drum was made by
Mr.. West himself from a bass wood log,
and one of the heads was placed in the
drum by him in 1859, and the hide was al
so tanned by him. But the most interest
ing feature OF all was to see the old gen.
tleman, now more than seventy years OF
age, pound that drum in company with a
snare drummer OF the late rebellion. A
boy OF sixteen and an expert at that could
hardly have excelled MIR. West in the
manner of playing the old army calls and
drum beats. II was pleasing feature to
all and was hugely enjoyed by the old
soldiers in line. The old gentleman
worked up so much spirit and enthusiasm
In himself that one OF his drumsticks
went through the head OF the drum lust
before the procession reached the park"
