the day sot apart for the decoration of tbe
graves of those who fell In defense of our
country. And they are scattered from one
end of this broad land to the other. On
many a southern plain lie the l;onea of those
who fell In battle, aDd in many a quiet
grave yard sleep those who died from dis
ease, and in what more fitting manner can
we show our appreciation of tbeir great
services than by strewing the beautiful flow
ers of spring over tbe places whero they
Sleep. ine custom of decorating the
graves is a simple vet beautiful one. and
the day set apart will be generally observ

in Titusville and other places, and no doubt
delegations from this place will Le present
and assist in tbe ceremonies:
"Come, bring the flowers bring fir young

And twine tbe wreath and brigh, t festouns,
and twine tbe sweet bonnet
Let Natures sweetest, brightest smiles this

And all from cot toeourtly ball assist with
heluioK hand.
And we II approach with mespured tread
where lie our fallen brave.
And with these emblems of our love .we'll
strew tiie ir humble craves."
Tbe excitemeiit at West Hickory still
continues, and the demand lor teases, -pecla'ly
for building purposes, is lively.
Yesterday an ancient looking individual,
dressed in a costume of "ye olden lyme,"
appeared on tbe Tullle farm and made hixi-
self very consplcous by informing those in
want of leases tbat by giving bim the sum
of $25, be would show them where they
could put up their buildings, In this man
ner be succeeded in collecting about $700.
In tbe uieantimo soma of tbe parties bad
commenced building, when Mr. Neybart,
one of tbe owners of tbe land, made bis ap
pearand upon tbe scene and forbid further
operations in tbe building line. When tbe
parties found they bad been sold, great was
their rage, and immediate search was made
for tbe ministerial looking individual, but
tbe "bird bad flown." Decidedly a new
way to "raise the wind."

and their names were given by tbe Sagi

About half pist II this morning tbe
Fenisns, wno had been for several hours
previous busy imparking and otherwise
getting ready lor active service, at Hub
bard's Corners, half a mile beyond Frank
lin, took up the line of march and when
they arrived near the bouse of Alvin Rich
ard', about twenty rods this side tbe border,
they balled and General O'Neil made the
following speech.
"Soldiers This is tbe advance guard of
the Irish American Army for tbe liberation
of Ireland from the yoke of tbe oppressor
for your own country. You now cuter that
of tbe enemy. .The' eyes ol your country
men are upon yen. Forward march!"
The advance company wns from Bur

the hooor to lead the advance. Ireland
may depend upon us to do our duty."
l be advance was then resumed by the
flank in the open rosd, and as Captain Cra
non s company passed Richard's house and
were descending a bill toward the line, they
were surprised by a sharp volley from sotnu
Canadian trnops, whose position hud beco
concealed. Tbe fire was returned by fie
Fenians, and quite a sharp fire was kept u;
for some time. The Canadians were posted
behind rocks and trees, and had of course
tho advantage of the boys in green.
It IS reported nno reman was killed and
Uapt. Cranon wounded in the thigh. Tbe
skirmish was witnessed by quite a number
of citizens. United States Marshal Foster
and Deputy Marshal Failey took command
tng positions partway up tho bill, and
were under fire all tbe time. About one
o'clock, when O'Neil hud gone to the right
of his command. Gen. Foster bad bis close

mediately arrested General O'Neil by virtue
ol tbe Presidents Proclamation. Tito Gen.
