Event date: Jul 4, 1845
Our thriving village was most agreeably entertained last Saturday by the sudden appearance of a company of finely uniformed and equipped Infantry, under the command of Capt. Lord. It certainly does credit to our place. Our martial spirit was considerably elevated as we beheld their marching and evolutions, and listened to the thrilling drum and fife. Who knows what course events may take under our warlike administration?
