The morning was ushered in with ma
tona salute and the display Of colours on the
vessels in the river. At l2 o'clock M. a
+ procession of gentlemen Of that town and its
slcinage marshalled by Col j. g. Reed and
Capt. J. Ludwig Jun. and escorted by the
company of Light Infantry under Can't. ].
Brown, proceeded 10 the meeting house where
prayer was offered by the Rev Mr.. Mitchell,
az hymn and anthem were sung by select
1choir and an address delivered to numerous
nc highly gratifed audience by G. Parks,
IS. The procession returned to the inn Of
I hrs. Trowbridge, and sat down to profuse
and elegant entertainment which Col.
Aeed presided Gen. MCobb and Can't.
brown, acting as vice presidents. The Hall
was fancItuly and tastefuIy decorated with
eyergreens interviewer with roses.
Is The company composed Of both political
: rar'les, forgot for this day, all party distic-
ions and evinced perfect union of sentiment.
and harmony Of feelings
The following toas;s were drank on the oc
trasion, accompanied with the discharge Of
cannon, and inlerspersed with patriotic and
I o'her appropriate songs.

Celebration.

Ihe Anniversary Of our national independence
was celebrated by the inhabitants of Pownal ion
ed by respectable number of citizens from New
Gloucester and Durham. The procession, which
was preceded by company Of militia commanded
by Capt SKILLINGs, formed at twelve o'clock
Eear the house of f. ToMpsox. Esq. and then
moved to the place destined for the exercises Of The
day. After an appropriate and devout PRAYER an
Grafton was delivered by JABE1 WooDm.N. Es,.
OF New Gloucester. The orator displayed those
talents, which he is well known to possess. The
discourse was written in a neat, pure and ciassick
style; and was delivered in a graceful and elegant
manner. And we are happy TO state that the Or
ator did not descend to treat of matters that tend
only to excite party virulence and animositv but
uttered the sentiments Of a real patriot and chris
tian. After the public performances. the process
sion returned. and respectable number partook
OF public dinner prepared by Z. ToMPsox. ESQ.
and served in manner, combining in high degree,
elegance aud rural simplicity. After the usual
number OF toaSts were given, the guests retired
having preserved through the day the strictest or
der and decorum-And we hsve no doubt. but such
a season Of repast, where peace aud harmony rerns
affords more real satisfaction and pleasure than is
commonly enjoyed in more numerous assemblies
whore dscord is more likely to disturb their peace
and social enjoyment. AGRESTIC.
