At Williamstown one evening last week, the Democrats had an enthusiastic rejoicing with speeches, torchlight parade and fireworks. After the procession started, two hundred Republican students commenced blowing horns, hooting and otherwise disturbing the procession. The parade stopped in front of Professor Perry's house and he attempted to speak. The students started a yell and drowned his voice. The cavalry in the procession then charged the students and drove them away. One old man flourished a revolver, but it was taken from him. Finally the procession moved off quietly.-[Herald.
