FRIDaY MORNING. JULY s. 1882.
Celebration Of hs All Of July The Ann'ver-
s,rv of our National Independence was celebrat-
ed in this town with every demonstration OF re-
spect and patriotism. AT dawn the bells rung a

Cant. Morse's company Of Artillerists, which
was repeated at noon and at sunset. At 10

wbaryes. The swivel went of while he was in

certain facts. Our readers will find in this morn
