Osborne Eyerly of camp 364, and upon which occasion the young gentleman enlogized the Ameri can Flag and the public institutions of the United States in a masterly man ner, and at intervals was interrupted by deafening applause. He spoke of how this country, although the young est of any, has grown and accompl'sn ed achievements which seem to be almost impossible, and that now, it has the honor of being the greatest on the Globe, and fears none. He also related to the Public Schools, the bul wark of our country's greatness, and how they should be zealously guarded by every American. He said the people of the United States know what free education means, and fully understand the meaning of the words, Knowledge is Power."

Jack son (deceased) of Berwick; and, doubt less, he will preach on Sabbath, and pulpit eloquence will be palpably demonstrated in his sermons. The writer has known him for years.
