THE REPUBLICAN.

Fourth of July, 1882.

A meeting will be held at the court in Rensselaer, at 7 P. a., on next Saturday, the 2nd mst., to make arrangements for the appropriate celebration of the approaching anniversary of onr Independence. / A full attendance is respectfully requested. E. P. Hammond,. Simon P. Thompson, Frank VV. Babcock, AND MANY OTHER CITIZENS. June 1, 1882.

John Makeever is building a small business room between his brick and F. ‘ . Babcock’s office, and David Nowels is building a small fiame between the whilom Austin house and v. right’s furniture store. Buu. Learning is now sole proprietor of the Tharp drug store. Bun is an enterprising young man and is deserving of success. Canary Bird Lost.— We will give a vear’s subscription of the Republican, and' the prayers of the editor, or the equivalent of the prayers in cash, to the person who will return to this office a dark male canary bird, a great pet, and a pretty singer. Lost about two months ago, and his owner wants him bad.

Decoration Day.

The touching and beautiful ceremony of decorating the soldiers graves, was carried out successfully in Rensselaer last Tuesday. At about 2 o’clock the procession formed under the able direction of Mr. Alfred Thompson, the president and officer of the day. At the head of the procession following the band, marched the Knights of Pythias in full uniform under the order of Commander Legg. and Lieut. Morgan. Here followed the Odd Fellows, commanded by Acting Marshal Hon. E. P. Hammond. Old soldiers with the flag, the hearse with'a magnificant burden of flowers tastefully arranged into wreaths, crosses and bouquets, the public schools officered by their teachers, and citizens on foot and in carriages completed the procession. At the cemetery the programme as published was carried out with perfect success. Capt. Babcock's tribute to the Nation’s Dead, was an extended poem m blank verse, eloquent and poetical; and Dr. Washburn’s remarks were well chosen and appropriate. Want of space prevents the publication of Mr. Babcock’s tribute this week, but it will probabiy appear in our next issue.

Temperance.

No other town in the St Re, of its size, has a better attended or mere c nhusiastic temperance society than Rensselaer. Last Satmday evening the society met in the court house and the programme as published in The Republican last week was carried out. First on progiamme was a song by the choir. And let us say right here that the society owes much of its success to the excellent singing and appropriate selection of songs. Short speeches were made by S. Haley, ffm. Beck, A. Thompson and N. J. York. Miss Florence W ood declaimed a piece with much spirit and earnestness. 0. L. Price was next on the list for a declamation, and when called he came forward and began ” They arc taking me to t!ie gallows. mother, And Uiey’lt hang me till I’m dead”— and, we suppose, the thought of what might be, or the fear that he might not declaim quite so well as Miss Wood, so illustrated him that he forgot what came next, and after a vain attempt to recall the words, remarked that “lie had a good thing if he could omy think of it,” and took his seat. After a song by the choir he came forward and gave a splendid. rendition oi “the murder of Allen Bane.” Quite a number signed the pledge, and judging from . the attendance an ; uuerest manifested it is not difficult lor a stranger to determine how the people of Rensselaer stand on the temperance ci 4 ue uior.
