 The Grand Army veterans consider themselves we'll treated here. The band was one of the easiest to march after they ever followed, they were pleased that flags were out, the lemonade at MT. Pinney's was very acceptable, Hillside cemetery was well cleaned up to receive them, and they were gratifled to see so many citi- zens present, even though there was only the ritual service read. It is we'll to sug- gest to the Memorial day committee the propriety of making such changes in the order of exercises, that the localities oi West Stafford, Stafford, and Staffordville might have longer, more elaborate, and more interesting exercises, while at the same time the principal exercises could still be held at the Springs. With three bands in town it might be arranged. | StaffOrdvilIe. (Correspondence1
