Hiufftou, AbbeviU,*, Shorterville and other neighboring towns being well represented, and the (iuards, uimni mously seconded by the citizens gen¬ erally. were untiring in their efforts to make all feel that they were cordially welcomed and that it was good to ■‘celebrate.” The Abbeville band, which, by the way is a most excellent one, came over and dispensed some of their sweetest music, which was very much appreciated by the crowd, The guards presented quite a hand* some appearance as, headed by the band, they marched up the street "dressed in their best Sunday clothes” and keeping 101 step to the lively strains < >f martial music. The parade and various execution of military tactics was well done and attracted interested attention The breasts of many were made to swell with pride and patriotic animation as tm-y contemplated the possible future of our gallant little company of the state militia.
