Memorial Day Exercises.

Memorial exercises were held by the
North school last Friday afternoon. The
exercises were all interesting and appro-
pirate for the occasion, and the school
room was very handsomely decorated With
flowers in profusion, and the national col
ors and emblems. We were much pleased
to know that the pupils sent special invi-
tations to every family in the district, and
nearly all responded to the invitation by
their presence. After the exercises at the
schoolhouse the scholars and many of the
friends present marched to the North GEM
etery and decorated the graves of the four
veterans buried there.
The Memorial exercises at Central park
Sunday afternoon were largely attended
and were very impressive. The address
by Rev. j. f. Cross was excellent also
the music by Mrs. Frost and Miss Steb-
bins. The Thunberg sisters of Brattle-

Tuesday night. A salute Of twenty,

non in front Of the building by mem
bers Of the Eighth Regiment. and the
end OF one of the most famour relics Of
the civil war was marked. The thous-
ands Of relics which have been on ex-
hibition in the building will be stored.
and within few weeks wreckers win
begin demolishing the prison. A huge
exposition building, larger than Madison
Square Garden, New York, will be
built by the Coliseum Company on the
sight Of the present building. 1t is
probable ttat the work Of wrecking the
building will be done so hastily that it
can never again be rebuilt.
