Among the many entertaining events
of the MArysville Turner'S is to watch
the several classes in the several feats
of drill and march, and especially IS IL
amusing to watch the kid class; they
think they are as bold warriors as those
in the active class. In their jumping
and swinging, and other maneuvers,
they are so active and careful that an
accident seldom occurs Thea kid"

perfectly healthy from their drills
The people generally are invited TO
witness the drill of the several classes
