choir rendered a patriotic song in fine
style. Mr.. Andrus' reading of the
Declaration was of the best, and sus-
tanned that gentleman's reputation as
an clocutionist. The Grafton of the
day was something grand, and any
one who did not hear it missed great
treat. Mr.. Streetcr is to be congrat-
ulated on his powers as an orator.
We can honestly say that we never
heard better orator. The speech
was filled with patriotic sentiment,

in his or her criticism Of the Grafton
