The day had been stormy and the evening unpleasant. But the inclemency of the weather was not sufficient to suppress the small boy wilb his tin hoin or to cool the ardpr of tbe more mature individual. The exercise" consisted of short speeches, music by the bands and glee club, and the din of the inevitable and irrepressible tin horn. Even our democratic friends oaine in for a share of the glory that seemed to light up every countenance. Tbe speeches by Healy and Miller though slighdy democratic, were good and to tbe point; that of Mr. Healy was full of genuine wit. Tbe ladies were represented in the speech making by the neat little ad. dress of Mrs. Dwiggins. The meetl ing was one of the genuine old sash, ioned love feast sort. Nothing, barring the unearthly blasts of numerous horns, occurred to mar the enjoyment of the occasion, and all went home feeling that the govern mentis safe in the hands of the people’s choice, James A. Garfield.
