Some tight team* went from this section to the Hay ten celebration, but nearly all them1^®! arrived too late to hear frieud Potter’ a,' ir remarks. Five of the teams were loaded 1cwith our German citizens who were preceded by a brass band and earned in their midst a new national flag and a banner with theati1ftIt i J Hadiooooooooooooooooo O TUB UNION’ EOREVER ” 0oooooooooooooooooinscribed upon it.

The scene was occassion-ally enlivened by some national airs,which were well executed by the band, as also was tome excellent Binging by the Calumet County Musical Association. In ilia evening there was a large display ol ftreworks, and dancing was kept up un til daylight. Mr. Stage, the gentlemanly landlord of tbe Calumet lloute, out did himself on this occasion, and his numerous guests, we are certain, were satisfied with tbe arrangements made for their comfort and enjoyment, A laTge portion of the Cbiltou delegation desires us to return thanks to John C. Hayes,Esq.,-— who was the principal pet son in getting up the celebraiion, and did all in his power to make it pleasant to all— for his kind hospitality on ibis occasion. Long may be flourish.covdiviofthiininmotheChe*gm1(day1SIHa1Wit i ayma ;r.
