The Citizens Generally .- From the farm, the office, the shop, and the counter the people have come up to enjoy this day's fes- tivity. As we glance over the luxuriant fields and among the evi- dences of prosperity that surround us, we may well have reason for a day's festive congratulation on the peaceful progress that has passed over the happy valley. During long years to come may we, the people of this good old town, dwell in harmony, peace, and plenty, striving for the common good, and diffusing influences that shall endure long after they have lain down to sleep beneath the shade of the hills that smiled over their cradle.
The Sons and Daughters of Lancaster .- May those of them who have left their homes, honor their native town by their deeds as much as she has honored them in their birth.
THE PRESIDENT .- My friends, we have had some disappoint- ments to-day, but I am sure we have had also considerable happi- ness. It is hardly proper for us to pass by, with a single sentiment, the labors of the several committees here to-day. They have been so well performed, and in all respects are so creditable, that I think the children of Lancaster who reside out of the town and the state ought to give them some special commendation. I therefore pro- pose that the thanks of the sons and daughters of Lancaster be given to the various committees of arrangements, for the highly satisfactory manner in which they have discharged their duties. Those in favor of that proposition will say "Aye." "Aye," "aye." Contrary minded, "No." (No response.) Everybody is satisfied with those committees. (Applause.)
And now, my friends, it remains for us simply to congratulate ourselves that we have had such a beautiful day. Providence has smiled upon this occasion in a peculiar manner. There is much felicity in what has been said and done. It has been clearly dem- onstrated to-day that the love and friendship of the people of Lan- caster are stronger than their politics and party spirit. Not one word has been uttered reflecting upon any man or set of men under heaven. It is a precious blessing, and a cause of rejoicing, that there are still some occasions in life when we can meet in friendship

and harmony. I trust that when we separate we may go with the right temper and right feeling, and with a fixed determination that we will hereafter do nothing which will reflect dishonor upon our native town; that we shall go forth self-reliant, and with the firm purpose to accomplish whatever we undertake, as becomes the sons of Lancaster. I trust, too, that we shall be true to ourselves and the virtues of our fathers, and as often as we remember them, renew the resolution that their posterity shall never be unworthy of them.
COLONEL KENT .- My friends, this closes the exercises of the day. A levee will be held at the town hall this evening, which we hope will be made one of the pleasant incidents of this occasion, by the presence of our friends from all parts of the country, and the interchange of cordial greetings and sentiments of friendship. We hope to see you all to-night, and that you will extend this notice as much as possible, that there may be a large attendance.
This meeting stands adjourned until the 14th day of July, 1964. (Laughter and applause.)
THE PRESIDENT .- Colonel Kent will conduct the exercises on that occasion. (Renewed laughter.)
LEVEE AT THE TOWN HALL.
The festivities of this interesting occasion were fitly terminated by a levee in the evening, at the town hall - the ancient meeting- house, the first erected in the town, and itself, therefore, a link be- tween the present and the past - which was crowded to overflowing by the residents of the town and their friends from abroad. The hall was handsomely decorated with flags and wreaths of evergreen, while a magnificent bouquet, gigantesque in size, but arranged with exquisite taste, hung over the platform, like the breath of Imogen, perfuming the room. The gathering was an informal one, and the principal portion of the time was spent in the exchange of friendly greetings and conversation, in which the reminiscences of the past held a conspicuous place. Old friends, long parted by time and widely separated by distance, here met, to renew once more the in- tercourse of early years and revive the pleasant memories of the past.
The following songs, written for the occasion, were sung in a spirited and effective manner by the glee club :
(BY HENRY O. KENT.)
In the grateful shade of our mountain home A glad throng gathers to-day, To welcome with joy to the old hearthstone Companions so long away.
And list, 'mid our welcome resounding clear, A plaintive strain from afar, That sweetly falls on our gathering here Through the list'ning summer air.
592
HISTORY OF LANCASTER.
The greeting of friends to the olden home, Now rested from mortal strife ; Whose spirits attend ye, as back ye come To haunts of their earthly life.
Warm is the greeting and strong the embrace That welcome ye home again ; Which bid ye forget the wearying race That led from this peaceful plain.
Ring the glad chorus full joyously out, While the old, old tales are told ; Let silvery laugh and echoing shout Prove hearts that have not grown cold.
Aye, the sturdy old town is glad to-day, As she welcomes home her own, And her jocund smile is as blithe and gay As that of her youngest born.
Ye have done her honor where'er ye strove, Her dead have been leal and true ; The pride of her sons and her daughters' love Been pure as our mountains' snow.
Let us strengthen here this union of ours, Near the graves of loved ones gone ; Renew at this altar our youthful vows, And cheerfully journey on.
WELCOME HOME. (BY MRS. MARY B. C. SLADE.)
Mountain winds and singing waters Sound our old home's gladsome strain : Climb the hills, my Sons and Daughters ! Welcome, welcome home again ! Climb the hills, my Sons and Daughters ! Welcome, welcome home again ! Climb the hills, my Sons and Daughters ! Welcome, welcome home again !
Haste from prairie, lake, and ocean ; From the crowded cities come, And afar from war's commotion, Soldiers, brothers, welcome home !
Come, unseen ones, at our calling, Who, our glory and our loss, Nobly fought, as nobly falling, With the brave and gallant CROSS !
Lovely spot, sweet home of beauty, On her birthday bright and clear, At the call of love and duty, All shall find a welcome here.
593
CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION.
Crown with love each joyous hour, Write each name so dear to her On the hundred petaled flower, Sweet wild rose of Lancaster.
In the course of the evening, Albert Holton, Esq., of Bangor, proposed that the natives of Lancaster, now resident abroad, should purchase the field where the dinner had been given, and present it to the town for a public common, as a memorial of their affection for the place of their birth. The proposition was heartily seconded by Nathaniel Wilson, Esq., of Orono, Me., and J. B. Brown, Esq., of Portland. A subscription paper was drawn up, and considerable progress made in obtaining the requisite amount. A resolution was also passed authorizing Colonel Kent to procure all available statis- tics in regard to the history of the town, to be printed with the account of the celebration.
At 10: 30 o'clock the company separated (the band playing " Home, Sweet Home"), to seek their several homes, their souls strengthened and their hearts inspired, we trust, by the events of the day, and a store of fragrant memories treasured up for the years that are to come.
