people than gathered within its walls
on the evening Of the 9TH inst. to wit.

with them.

talent which reproduces so graphically
and charmingly the scenes Of 1880 il

lively the coming future into the living
present, which has 50 much Of value Il
bequeath to Others, and which sing
so sweetly. Columns Of the HERALI

Of the attractive details of the proceed
