Memorial Services. Sunday morning last, the pastors | of the different churches of our city as per previous arrangements, dis- missed their congregations and join- ed in the memorial services, held at the Opera House and after the pre- liminary services had been through with, the Rev. of Clinton, was introduced to gone Armstrong the large audience present by Rev. Walk- er, and proceded to deliver one of has the finest sermons the reporter | ever listened too on any former occa- sion of the kind. Rev. Armstrong and his sermon was well received by all present. He had very little to say in regard to the war, and in his al jlusions to the departed Union and confederate soldies he had nothing but flowers to strew upon the graves of both, as both fought like only Americans can, and died for what they believed to be right. Not one word was uttered by the speaker that the most fanatical could take the least exceptions too. In short it was a grand sermon and just the kind of a healing balm that should be poured out at every similar celebration in the land, if s0, the bond of union throughout this glorious land of ours would be more firmly cemented, and the war with all its fearfulness the sooner be forgotten.
