into our possession through capture
of Fort Fisher which guarded it's
approaches from the sea, and our
naval forces contributed largely to
the result, both by their lombard
ment of the fort and the assault on
it by a large body of sailors and
marines which it landed for the pur-
pose.
Time will not permit further de-
tails respecting the work of our
navy, but the history of the war
for the Union shows that our sail
ors and marines in that great strug-
gle fully maintained the standard
of naval service handed down from
Paul Jones, Decatur, Hull, Brain
bridge, Preble, Porter, Perry, Nc
Donough and others of heroic mem
ory.
20, LackawaXen, most beautiful
stream, on your downward course
to the tide, may you bear on your
bosom our tokens of respect and
esteem for the brave sailors who
lived and fought and died for their
country's sake and welfare.
Memorable Occasion.
Beautiful mountain stream, you
are charged with an important mes
sage. May you carry to the ocean
these tokens, these flowers, these
gifts of nature, strewn upon your
current by the children, the pride
of our country and nation. Carry
on the glad tidings to yon populous
cities. May at least, some one who
dwells along your banks catch a
glimpse of these flowers, and be re-
minded of the awful events which
this occasion is meant to commemo-
rate. May they be reminded of Far
ragut and his indomitable courage
and take unto themselves the cour-
age which comes from the admira-
ton of courage in men. May they
imbibe the spirit of patriotism and
resolve furthermore, if their country
needs them, to act their part in the
most commendable manner May
they recall the Monitor and the Mer-
rimac, and that world famed clash
of the first iron-sides which decided
for all time that the days of wood
ed craft were over, and which
heralded the dawn of the great age
of iron and steel in which we are
now living.
Children of our day, may you long
remember and cherish the oppor-
tunity which you have to be present
on this occasion. May you study
the history of your country with
more interest, and love her with
more zeal, and finally, take upon
yourselves her burdens with a spirit
of eagerness, always knowing and
firmly believing that upon you rests
the future destiny of the greatest
nation of any age, or time or gener-

Farmers Lead Again.
The bridegrooms represented 70
different callings, the farmers lead

suit. Among the occupations given
were: Lumberman, mail carrier,

The palm for the largest number
of brides and bridegrooms again goes
to Honesdale, which had three
grooms and three brides. One groom
hailed from Rowlands, Pike county,
and Philadelphia and Scranton sent
one bridegroom each to the county
seat of Wayne. Avoca is RESPONSE
BILE for one groom also.
Lackawanna was represented by
two brides, one each from the Elec-
trio City and the Pioneer City. Mon
roe county reported with one bride
from East Stroudsburg, and Pike
county, with bride from Rowlands,
was also on the list.
One of the grooms was twice as old
as his -partner-to-be. Two
grooms and two brides acknowl-
edged that they had been married be-
fore. Three brides were older than
the husbands of their choice.
Among the grooms the most pop
ular name was John, three possess
ing that praenomen.
The Wayne county grooms were
residents of Gravity, Pompton, Mt.
Pleasant, Beachlake, Honesdale (3),
Rileyville, Ariel, Gouldsboro. The
brides came from Bethany, Promp-
ton, White Mills, Honesdale (2),

Mr.. Garratt's Address.
Fellow Citizens: ii
I'VE are here today to commence
rate the achievements of our navy
during the most stmementous period of
our national history
when the slave power in the
South attempted to destroy the
Union by seeding from it and by
setting up a Southern confederacy,
President Lincoln, besides calling
for volunteer army to sustain the
government, dld, on April ~, 1851 ,
just five days after the surrender of
Fort Sumter, order a blockade of
the southern ports by the navy. The
purpose of this was to prevent the
seeding states from obtaining sup
plies from abroad with which to
carry on war.
AT that time our navy was small
and widely scattered. AS rapidly as
possible it was concentrated on the
Atlantic coast and additional vessels
were put in commission, until an ef-
fective blockade was established at
most of the ports. Nevertheless the
business of running the blockade
was conducted with some success,
and it was profitable business. For
the most part the blockade runners
were British with a base of opera
tions on the Bahamas and at Ber-
muda, and the business was so
profitable that, if only one ship out
of three were successful, the net
gain was large.
Besides closing the Southern ports
to commerce, the navy gave an i'm
portant aid to military operations.
While the country still suffered
