Tho mooting was all- its most ardent

people present glowed with an intense
enthusiasm which continually overflow*-
od“iir tho' most lively demonstrations.
A marked and telling feat tiro of the
meeting at night, was, that tho applause
was principally conducted with bells.—
Small nnd largo table*hells, liousq bolls,
calf arid cow bells—bells of all sorts
and sizes sounded, in all parts of tho
hall,. and wrought tho assemblage to a,
pitch of enthusiasm, which, at times
was almost uncontrollable. If- wo of
