A correspondent gives graphic description of the landing of the Cuban patriot expedition cn the steamer reril, which arrived safely in broad daylight at the bay of Trife on tne 11th. iyu 1 0 ock on the rnDg of tie 13th we shall be able to let the vessel go. and start inland We anticipate hard fighting, but we feel that whether we succeed or fail, the cause of Cuban independence is sure to triumph.

He brings with him the uniform worn by the patriot Cuban troops, which consists of a linen blouse and panta and felt hat, this latter decor, ated with the Cuban colors, in the shape of a small flag displaying alternate stripes of red and white and a single star.

them by the hands cf fair mourners and friends. After the singing of the Hymn Rest, Spirit, rest by a choir of male voices, the procession reformed and marched to the Locust street Cemetery. The concourse here was even larger than at Green Mount. The Cemetery seemed literally filled with people, and we cannot estimate the whole number present at less than five thousand. The exercises hereopened with singing of Howe's immortal Battle Hymn of the Republic, all joining in the grand chorus of Glory glory, Hallelujah.

Hon. Geo. F. Edmunds was next introduced by Gen. Henry.

He spoke briefly, and without notes but fittingly, as always, and with a clear enunciation which made him heard by all pre sent. His remarks were substantially as follows EEMAKKS Or SENATOR EDMUNDS. Soldiers, Brethren, Citizens: In this quiet spot and on this holy day, we citizens and sol diers, of all creeds and sects, and nationalities, have gathered bound by the simple tie of a com. mon citizenship. We meet under the canopy of Heaven, to do honor to our brothers, who accepted manfully their part in the common battle of life, and on severer battle fields than many of us ever saw, laid down their lives for the liberty we enjoy.

There can be no holier office for a citizeu than that of gracing, with offerings of affectionate remembrance, the graves cf the patriot dead, who when the storm of civil war arose, left the quiet and sunshine of such homes as Vermont gives to her children to maintain at the peril of their lives the liberty of law. It was no raid upon weaker nationalities, no pride ot conquest that called them lorth but the citizen's duty and glory of sustaining the fabric of organized government under law, handed down to us from our fathers. The obser vance of this pious duty has become national. and there be no grander spectacle than the sight of such a people commemorating such an occa sion, and such a day a day of special obser vance in all Christian lands, in commemoration of a greater a divine sacrifice, not for a na tion but for the human race. This tribute of respect to their fallen comrades by survivors of the same perils and labors, re minds us citizens afresh how noble was the re turn of our volunteers to the quiet walks of life; returning notas many others to wrest liberty from their fellow citizens, but to mingle with them and become again components in the body of society.

That in an army of a million men, was a spectacle never seen before. It was the highest tribute to self-government. To you then, who returned, as to those who came not back, is our honor due. I need not remind you, fellow citizens, how important was the work for which the blood of these patriots was shed. Behold how free a government we enjoy how homogeneous a people weare becoming under a new and diviner im pulse than before These are the fruits of the war for the Union.

Such are some of the les sons we should draw from this day. But there are dearer emotions and tenderer sympathies than those of respect and common citizenship. -Who can forget our own beloved dead, who went from us full of life and strength and came back shrouded in the mournful drapery of death, and with eyes no longer meet ing the gaze of allection I suppose there are hundreds here, in whose hearts the tender re collections of such hours of bereavement re vive and their ters flow afresh. To all such we render our heartiest sympathy. How tenderly should cherish the bereaved ones of our fall en heroes.

The widow and the orphan we should never forget and out of this service should and will come fresh emotions of charity, new out pourings of assistance and good will. bo, my friends, let us with solemn hearts, join iu decorating with the tribute of flowers, emblems of immortality, life springing out of death, the graves of our patriot dead. The decoration of the graves followed, the flowers being placed upon them with the same profusion as at Green Mount, and no grave lack ing its tribute. The Hymn Rest, Spirit, rest," was then repeated, and the wind, which interfered with both speaking and singing at Green Mount, having gone down, it sweet cadences rose and fell with full effect. Mr.

Jewett who took the solo part, was never in better voice, and the whole formed a touching and beautiful addition to the service. The sight here, too, was noticeable. The sodded mound on which stood the speaker between two regimental ilors the colors of Vermont and the National flag the veteran soldiers in their old uniforms the Zouaves in their gay costume the banners wreathed in flowers, and me of them draped in mourning, the large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen, young and old made a striking picture. The services closed wkh Benediction, by Rev. J.

E. Goodrich, former Chaplain of the Vt. Cavalry after which the procession marched back to the Square and dispersed. The graves at the Marine Hospital were decorated in the forenoon by a detail of the Grand Army. The children of the Home for the destitute joined them, with an abundance of flowers.

Some appropriate remarks were made by Capt. J. J. Bain, and there was suitable singing under the leadership of II. C.

Tennant. The entire exercises of the day passed off with a quiet and solemnity in keeping with the sacred day and the sacred duty. Long may such a day find such fitting celebration hee. Decoration Day was duly observed in St. Albans on Saturday.

Busintss in the village was pretty generally suspended, and nearly all the inhabitants turned out to assist in paying a tribute of respect to the nation's honored dead. The procession was about a mile in length, the largest ever seen in that locality. Speeches were made by Gov. Smith and Rev. II.

C. Riggs. Obituahy. George Lowry, an old and well-known citizen of Burlington, died at his residence at the Stanton House, about one o'clock yesterday afternoon, in the 60th year of his age. Mr.

Lowry was born in Jericho and was a son of Heman Lowry, a former sheriff of Chittenden county. He was known chiefly on account of his long connection with the customs branch of the revenue service, and for his thorough knowledge of rules and laws concerning the revenue department, in which there were few better informed men in the country. He entered the service in 1842 in the New York Custom House, under Governor C. P. Van Ness of this State, who held the collectorship of that port during the greater portion of the administration of John Tyler; but who, upon the accession of Polk to the Presidency in 1845, was removed, with most of his assistants.

At this time Mr. Lowry returned to Vermont and was appointed a deputy collector of this district by Collector Hopkinson, and so valuable were his services that he was retained through succeeding administrations, though differing with them in politics, until 1858, when we believe he was removed by Collector Bowdish. He has since been re-appointed on different occasions by other collectors, but his impaired health prevented his long performing the duties of the office, and he was compelled to resign. About two years since, however, he was ma le Inspector of Customs by Gen. Stannard, and continued to hold the office until his death.

He had been a sufferer for many years from rheumatio gout, which ended in a paralytic shock about six o'clock yesterday morning, prostrating his enfeebled seven hours afterwards. Mr. Lowry was member of the Masonic fraternity, and will be buried with Masonic honors. His funeral will be attended from St. Paul's Church to-morrow (Tuesday)' afternoon at 3 o'clock.

City Sleeting, The meeting of legal voters of the City of Burlington called to vote taxes for City and School purposes, was held under the call of his Honor, the Mayor, at the City Hall this Monday morning at 10 A. M. It was called to order by Mayor Ballou the call" was read by the City Clerk, W. H. Root, and on motion Hon.

S. Taft was chosen moderator. Mayor Ballou read from his annual report made last February, the estimate of amounts needed for City expenses during the current year. On motion of N. Parker it was voted that the City Council be authorized to levy a tax of 100 cents on the dollar of the Grand list, for the ordinary expenses of the City.

L. L. Lawrence, in behalf of the Board of School Commissioners made a statement of the views of the Board upon the question of a new building for the High School, and pursuant to instructions by the Board, offered the following resolutions Resolved, That the wants of the City demand the immediate erection of a High School Building. Resolved, That a tax of 20 percent, be raised upon the grand list of the city, to be used by the School Commissioners in the erection of said building, and that the Mayor be authorized to borrow upon the credit of the City for the use of said Commissioners such further sum as they shall need for said purpose, not exceeding the sum of 15,000. Alderman E.

W. Peck inquired if the School Commissioners intended to place the new build ing on the present High School lot. Mr. Lawrence explained that no definite ac tion on the subject of location had been taken. That was to be decided by the School Commissioners and Board of Alderman, conjointly.

The city had just acquired, by deed from the old High School corporation, title to the High School lot. If it could be sold for enough tp purchase a better lot for the purpose, and any better lot could be found, he presumed the School Commissioners would not desire to retain the present lot. Superintendent of Schools, Goodrich, in an swer to inquiries stated that estimated expenses of the Schools for the year, including refitting the Pine street church building rejently purchased, would call for from $12,000 to being about the same amount as last year. The resolutions were then unanimously adopt ed. G.

II. Bigelow, inquired if the cost of a market was included in the 100 per cent tax, already voted. Mayor Ballou said it was not. The 100 per cent, was for the ordinary ex penses of the city. The city had also voted 20 per cent for a High School building.

The City Council was already authorized to lay not ex ceeding 50 per cent, for schools, and would need to lay at least 45 per cent for that purpose, which, with 10 per cent authorized by law for the building fund of the water debt, would make 175 per cent. Hon.T. E. Wales, stated that it would cost 1500 to repair the culvert on the market lot and a building which would answer the imme diate wants the city could be erected for $5000, He believed a majority of the taxpayers desired the market, and he moved to reconsider the vote laying a tax of 100 per in order that that amount might be made enough larger at least to cover the cost of a market building. Mr.

Bigelow hoped the vote would be reconsidered. He believed if put to general vote four-fifths of the taxpayers would vote for the market. Alderman Van Sicklen thought it an unusual proceeding in a meeting no larger than this to vote a tax for such a purpose as a market, The city needed sewers more than a market. The vote to raise one hundred per cent, was then reconsidered and on motion of Mr. Wales was amended to make it raise 120 per cent.

On motion of Mr. Van Sicklen it was further amended so as to make a beginning upon sewers, and so amended the motion was passed. The meeting then adjourned. The toial tax voted at the meeting was thus 145 per cent. 100 per cent, for ordinary city expenses, 20 per cent, for High School building, 20 per cent, for market and 5 per cent, for sewers.

Military Parade. A military parade, drill and review is to take place in this city to-morrow. The line, headed by the Hinesburgh Band and consistingTof Companies and of the 1st regiment Vermont infantry 'and the 1st section of the light battery, will form on the square at 9 o'clock in the morning, and march to the Fair Grounds, for drill. At 4.30 P. M.

the line will march in review on the square, before the Mayor and Board of Aldermen. At 5.30 P. M. occurs the dress parade. We are authorized to say that should the weather prove unfavorable, the review will be postponed until Wednesday, or the first fair day.

Don't forget that the Griswold Opera House company opens at City Hall this evening. The plays, the Honeymoon" and "Solon Shingle" are calculated to draw out the best features in this talented company, and the house should be well filled. The net proceeds of the concerts given at City Hall last week under the auspices of the ladies of St, Paul's Society, we understand, was $200. A munificent sum for a worthy cause. At the annual communication of Friendship Lodge No.

24 of F. and A. held at their Lodge room in Charlotte, on Tuesday, May 25th 1869, the following officers were elected for the year ensuing John H. Thorp, Master. Henry N.

George D. Leonard, of Hinesburgh, writes that a few weeks since he got an egg, the product of one of his Brainah hens, which measured 8 1-2 by 6 1-2 inches. The egg was set under a hen, and from it in due season came two chickens, which are living and as smart as any of his brood. The State Retorm School. The Third Anniversary of the Vermont Reform School, will be observe! the 2nd Wednesday 9th of June.

el realm of creation's infinite domain, where they hare jui ued full of years and honors since they passed away from earth, would not some of the vast changes, eo familiar to our comprehension, astonish those sainted patriots But unprece- dented as has been the progress of the people in- i political ana social development, in the arts ci civilization, and in intellectual culture and refinement, we must not affect to despise the more Iy g'-'ing ways and primitive customs, the 5 straight-laced moralities and limited acquirements of our ancestors. We should never seek dissociate ourselves from the stock from which we sprang. Even in these radical times it is wise to be conservative in some things. A rev-i ereiif lal regard for the founders of our Govern-! nieiit, we need as a people to cherish. It is the religion of nationality.

Forgetfulness of our rev fathers wouldte a crime. Contempt iV a noble ancestry is the beginning of infidelity i toward God. Hence we should cherish the memories of the heroes and patriots of the Revo-i lution. They have gone to their graves, and have committed to us this glorious heritage. l'eace to their ashes, honor to their memory long life to their descendants, and perpetual union to these states.

are all familiar with fhe history of our late civil war. Its story we have all learned by heart. Experience is a stern teacher. We say that it is past, yet how sadly present is it still to countless bereaved hearts and firesides. Glory cannot brighten desolated homes or heal lacerated hearts, or bring back the vanished faces and silent voices of the dead.

The awe, and dread, and peril of that long, dark tragedy will come back to us, to trouble even the serenity, and cloud the brightness ot this day otherwise so joyous. The long weary march, the scorching heat and suffocating dust through whicn they toiled the exhaustive duties of the camp the rattle of musketry, the screech of the shell the hunger and thirst, the wasting of disease in the hospital, the fiendish prison pen with its heart less keeper, and the echoes ot funeral marches, all mingle in our sweetest music to-dav'. How vividly alt these come back to the brave comrades were with them in those terrible days. It was indeed: a leariul crisis through which we were called to pass. The world had just come to ac knowledge and respect us'when the flag of re bellion was unfurled, and they saw us rent with civil seuds and drenched in fraternal blood.

We had just learned to appreciate Independence, the Lmon and Constitution and the liberty which they secured. The Speaker here briefly reviewed the causes that led to the war described the rallying of patriots of all parties, creeds, and avocations, at the North, when the flag was fired on by the rebels alluded to the want of military preparation and education on the part of the North at the outset, and depicted the perils through which the national cause reached the final victory, through the valor of our soldiers, the fortitude of our noble women, and the favor of who God. A beautiful part of the ceremonies of the day, so fittingly inaugurated by you, is the decorating with flowt-rs the graves of the Revolutionary soldiers, once our honored citizens, but now resting after their long life march in the quiet camping ground of death. So should we keep their graves green and beautiful, and cherish their brave services in perpetual remembrance. So the setting apart of a day each year for the floral decoration of the graves of our soldiers who fell in the late sad war, is a most fitting and pathetic custom.

Call over the list of illustrious names, Captains Hall and Bowdish; Lieuts. Blodgett and Smith; and Duncan and Stoughton, and Boyd who died at Andersonville Prison; Bunker, Pope, Read, Spaulding, Edwin and Benjamin and Henry Roe three brothers, all i whom fell, and one of whom lies in an un-kuownfgravc; Brinsmaid and Lord, and a long catalogue of names equally worthy of mention who fell. Long in each genial spring time may the graves of all our valiant sons and brothers who fell martyrs in our cause be decked with choicest flowers, whose vernal bloom shall brighten our recollection of their manly virtues aud heroic deeds. Wives and mothers, gray-haired fathers, and orphan children of soldiers should unite with the comrades of the departed, in this beautiful ceremony. Alas my friends, me n.r.ver or me land is under tne sod; nut we hope that a glorious resurrection awaits many of ti em an immortal reblossoming in the garden ot Ood.

And let us never forget the many graves of the brave and the bdoved, that can never be decked by pious and patriotic hands. On many a lonely plain, in many a mountain gorge and dark tangled wood they lie, and never a tear falls on the turf above them never even a tiny "Forget-me-not" is planted there in sign of human remembrance. So sleeps in distant and unknown graves many of our gallant sons. But nature takes more faithful heed of these unvisited, unmarked graves, and gives back in richer bloom and verdure the life b'sod shed ia thcee lonely retreats. The wild flowers of the prairies are streaked with that precious dye.

The wild rose glcw3 with the lost life of the forgotten brave, and exhales their dying sighs, and nature is no partisan. The creeping vine stretches from the grave of the Northern soldier to that of his Southern foe, and kindly clasps the mound; aud daisy nods to daisy over the wiud swept battle plain, and gives no hint of the fierce passions of hate and contention that once raged in the breasts below. Let us learn of nature, so benignant and forgiving, the gracious lesson of reconciliation, and seek to forgive and forget the errors, the rancors, the deadly strifes of the past, and to live at peace with all men. My friends, we oannot forget the promises we made to these our dead when they enlisted in thoir country's service. We told them that if they fell, we would watch over and provide for their widows and orphans.

Have we kept the pledges we then made Does our patriotism consist in merely building the sepulchres and decorating the graves of these fallen soldiers Is there not some more substantial offering called for to-day than floral gifts, touching and beautiful though they are? Should we not make suitable provision for these destitute families, now that their husbands and fathers arc sleeping under the sod Have we religion, have we patriotism enough to meet this demand Let us remember that the stones out of vhich the walls of this Republic are built are cemented together with their blood. Have you not seen in your cemetery to-day, soldiers graves where not a stone, nor even a rough board mark their resting places Citizens of Burlington, ought we not to see that some proper testimonial be erected at the public expense, on which shall be recorded and preserved the names, not only of those who are burried here, but also of those who sleep in distant and unknown graves, with nothing to mark their quiet sleeping places? Let us attend to every duty to which God in his providence calls us, with the courage and fidelity of Christian men. I am proud of Vermont. As she stood among the foremost at the very front during the war, Ut her now maintain her good character by being true to the pledge made to her once living but now departed heroes. Citizens of the Green Mountain State, tread softly about the graves of these dead heroes.

Here sleeps the soldiers you loved the men who perished martyrs to liberty. With tearful eyes, and aching hearts we weave the cypress wreath the sprig of evergreen, and fragrant flowers, tokens of love and emblems of immortality," and place them as offerings upon the honored graves of these revered patriots and heroes. Soft be their repose, sweet their sleep. Rest, weary soldier, rest. Thou art forever freed from the hardships of the field, and the perils of the fight.

To this consecrated spot, in future years shall tend the straying feet of many a pilgrim to drop a tear and waft a prayer and generations yet unborn shall learn their story from the marble pillar, and will pause to kiss the green turf which covers the quiet sleeper beneath. By all who could hear the speaker, this touching and excellent address was listened to with close attention, many of the hearers giving to it the silent tribute of tears. The decoration of the graves followed. Wreaths were hung on the monuments and many of the graves were literally covered with flowers. The graves of Captain Hall and Lieutenants Read and Heald, who were graduates of the University, bore in addition to a profusion of flowers, the badges of their Col- supporting at Waterbury, are invited to attend.

A patent was granted R. Daniels, of Woodstock, on the 25th for an improved vegetable crusher. The dancing class of Mr. A. R.

Mr. McDonald comes to us highly commended as an instructor in dancing, posturing, calisthenics, and we doubt not will be well patronized during his stay here. A Nice Thing.

Everything at the Boston Musical Peace Jubilee is to upon a lovely scale of largeness. The big drum to be used upon the occasion has been finished, and O'Baldwin, the Irish giant, has also (according to the Advertiser) been engaged to beat it. This mastodonian" drum is three feet through from head to head the heads are about eight feet in diameter for the skins, two mammoth oxen yielded up their hides, it being found impossible to procure the hide of an elephant and upon each head is ironically painted Let us have peace Whether this drum will make any more noise than six smaller ones beaten in unison we do not know but we are sure that it will cut a much larger figure in the advertisements.

G. FISHER. The smoke of the battle has long cleared away, And the cry ot the onslaught is hushed by the breeze That murmurs sweet melodies of peace by the way, While freedom triumphant henceforth shall not cease. No bosom's uncoyered to the deathblow to-day, io parapet stormed by the valliant and brave, No cry of the wounded, nor slain in dismay; ior peace reigns triumphant er birthplace and grave. We remember again the 3'ears of patient toil, with pick, with shovel, withrifie and sword, We remember the prison on Southern soil, I he hunger, the thirst, the feverhot brow.

We remember the pangs and the pain of that hour When you drank of the cup's bitterest dregs, We remember your struggle 'gainst tyranny's power, When as martyrs your life you gave up. We remember the dark hours of national night, When you thrust 'your young lives in the breach, The break of the dawn when despair took its flight, And the light of the morning we did reach. mother shall forget her infant child, The sun's light turn to darkness, if thought best; But as long as we live, in gratitude we'll turn To the patriot graves by whom our land is blest. The mountain and valley lake and the shore, The bud, the blossom.and the birds of the air, All speak of the peace that your valor have wrought, Of the homes you have blest, eo lovely so fair. A nation to-day bends o'er you in tears, While in prayer we seek strength from on high, By the sacrifice you on the alter laid.

To be true to the end that draws nigh. And while infant tongues shall lisp your names, And your deeds in cur mem'ry forever live, The mothers of our land their sons shall teach, Their live3 to the cause of true liberty to give. And thus we bedeck with flowers your graves, A token of what our lips fail to tell, While we consecrate anew, life and all here below, To the cause for which you suffered and fell. SCIIEXCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP. Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills will euro Consumption, Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken according to directions.

They are 'all three to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach, relax the liver and put it to work then tho appetite becomes good the food digests and makes good blood i the patient begins to gruw in flesh the diseased matter ripens in the lungs, and the patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This is tha only way to cure consumption. To those three medicines Dr. J.

II. Schenck, "ol Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid mattsr in the lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or ma tter is ripe a slight cough will throw it oif. and the patient has rest and tho lungs begin to heal. To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syxup and the food wili make good blood.

Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the' ducts ol the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved the stools will3how what the Pills can do; nothing has ever been havented except calomel (a deadly poison which is very dangerous to use unless with great care,) that will unlock the gall bladder and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Liver Complaint is cne of the most prominent causes of Consumption. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentlo stimulant and alterative, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this preparation is made of, assists the stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made into good blood without fermentation or souring in the stomach. The great reason why physicians do not cure Con sumption is, they try to do too much they give me dicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they derange the whole digestive powers, locking up the secre tions, and eventually tho pationt sinks and dies. Dr.

Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Remove the cause, and they will all stop of their own accord. IN'o one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh.Canker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stomach are made healthy. If a person has consumption, of course the lungs in some way are diseased, either tubercles, absessos, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast decaying. In such cases what must be done It is not only the lnngs that are wasting, but is the whole body.

The stomach and liver have lost their powtr to make blood out of food. Now the "only chance is to take Dr. Schenck's three medicines, which will bring up a tone to the stomach, tho patient will begin to want food, it will digest easily and make good blood then the patient begins to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the only way to cure Consumpt ion. When there is no lung disease and only Liver Complaint nd Dyspepsia.

Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient, without the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless. Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health for many years past, and now weighs 225 was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the aforesaid nie-dicinos, and since his recovery many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.

Schenck's preparations with the same remarkable success. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck, unless patients wish their lungs examined, rid for this purpose he is professionally at his Princi pal Office, Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. He is also professionally at No. 32 Bond Street, New York, every other Tuesday, and at No.

35 Hanover Street, Boston, every other Wednesday, i He gives advice free, but for a thorough examina tion with his Respirometer the price is 5. Office hours at each city from 9 A. M. to 3 P. M.

Price of the Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonlo each $1.50 per bottle, or $7.50 a half dozen. Mandrake Pills 25 cents a box. G. C. Goodwin 38 Hanover Boston, Wholesale agents.

Washington, May During to-day, the graves of the Union dead at the cemetery near the soldiers home at Glen-wood and other localities in the neighborhood of Washington, were decorated with flowers, but a furious storm of wind and rain not only dispersed the assembled crowd, but did considerable damage in the northern suburbs. The removal of General Emory from the position of commandant of the soldiers home at Washington, was ordered because the law says a retired officer unfit for active service alone shall hold it. Besides Gen.

Sherman, it is said, objected to an able bodied officer and a fighting soldier like Emroy remaining out of the field, and he will probably be restored to his regiment, and active service on the plains.

DAYTON, AND REMARKS BY SENATOR EDMtTNDS. IMMENSE CONCOURSE or CITIZEN'S, ETC. Another day of special observance been added to our National holidays, one which we believe will Le more generally observe! with deeper emotion and holier memories than any other the day set apart for the decoration of the graves of' the soldiers who fell in the late war. It his heen supposed that the idea of the iy originated with the people of the South, who took this way of making a demonstration in honor of their lost cause after the close of of the war, by decorating the graves of the confederate dead; but it is claimed that the colore! people at Charleston were before them.in the loving service of strewing flowers on the graves of Northern soldiers. It is certain when the graves of the Southern soldiers were generally decorated in later years, the grateful reed-men took care that the graves of those who fell In secure their liberty, should not fail of their floral tribute.

From this beginning, the practice has spread throughout the country. Last year, mainly under the au-pices4 of the Onwid Army of the Republic, a day assigned for this holy purpose observed in many of the principal towns of many States, people of all ages joining with tbesoldiers in the work. This year in every County of every Northern State, wherever the posts of the Grand Army have been established, the day has been celebrated, with the general and cordial concurrence i the citizens Fair hands have been busy in twining Bowers, and the people have turned out en manse to join in doing honor to the hero-martyrs of the War for the Union. In this city, yesterday, the occasion had general observance. Contributions of flowers were sent in to the hall of the Grand Army in hundreds of wreaths, crosses, stars, boquets, and other designs, many of them of rare exotics, of exquisite wild flowers, and every floral product of our gardens and greenhouses, now in bloom.

The procession formed at two o'clock, p. on the square, under the orders of Gen. W. W. Henry, Commandant of the Post, every soldier in the line bearing a boquet, and many being loaded down with flowers.

The order was as follows 1. Grand Army of the Republic, I'ost No. 2, headed by the officers of the Post, with Major Gen. Stannard, Mrijor Gen. Wells, and the rest of the oflicers and privates composing the organisation, following.

Losan. Commander-in-Chief of the G. A. we have assembled to commemorate the heroic dee Js of our fallen comrades, ana to Honor their graves by decorating them with flowers nnd evergreens; and could we in any other way, pay a more fitting and beautiful tribute to the memory of our departed braves To-day as we eland over the graves and look upou their faces, we renew our love and respect for heir illustrious deeds aid memory and te ourselves anew to the welfare of our coun-try It has betf thought best to exteud an invitation the citizens of this community, to partic 'P9te ia impressive services. And this is should for lC men fought and bled and died for the ct common country.

Th tr is danger of furgettJu the ceaseless rush of ipresent events, the hardships and (ufferings by these fallen leioe-'; and hence we li he jdau of a special Memorial Service in oior of these patriotiesons, and for the purpose of directing the attention of the living to the cau for which they died. We are also to visit the gr of the venerable sires of sev- nty-six, who tueathed to us so goodly a heritage. We recall with reverei ce and gratitude, the names and deeds of the past. Washington, Warren, Putnam, Stark, and our own Ethan Allen, have found noMe compeers in Lincoln, Grant, Shprman. Sheridan and Stannard.

Art has preserved their features to grace the rotunda of the National Capitol, and their names and deeds indfl hlv nrintett in our memory, win not suffer these heroic figures to fade from our minds. Let not the greedy present swallow them up or remove them from our grateful remembrance. Let us every year renew our relations with them. They were heroes, moved by the loftiest patriotism, fired by the most ardent i enthusiasm for freedom, ready for sacrifice, peril and death in the cause of their country. Let us never forget men so great, or eveuts so momentous, though th rush and roar of more I trouderful changes and mightier revolutions have deafened us to the voices of the past, as the thunder of the columbiad of Antietam and jfittysburg have drowned the echoes of the I.ington, the Light Artil- of Bunker Hilt, The tumult of pro-; gress, the breathless baste of enterprise, scarce- i ly give us time -or place for memories of early days.

But could these msa who i uucounsciously pledged themselves to a glo-! rious immortality, reurn for a time to the places that once knew them and look out upon the world of to-day with unsealed eyes, they would pardon much seeming ingratitude and forgetfulness.
