FOURTH OF JULY.
The late National Anniversary was celebrass
ted in this town in spirited and appropriate
manner. Our limits will not admit of de-
tail Of the Interesting proceedings, and we pre-
ferto leave the whole until next week, to Civ
ing hasty and imperfect sketch.
The day was likewise commemorated by
celebration in the vicinity. We shall take.
pleasure in giving publication to an account Of
the proceedings, if any is furnished for that
purpose. 8.
We thank our editorial brethren, generally
andparticularly, for their courtesy in sending
us their papers, and the favorable manner in
which they have been pleased to notice our
sheet. zsss = ss:s.yss - -
We are informed by the Messrs. Boons,
who have recently driven large lot Of cattle
from Galloway county, Mo. to this place, that
the road running on the West bank Of the Mis-:
sissippi river, between the above mentioned
places, isin excellent order, and that number
of wagons have travelled the same this spring.
Ferries are established at the Des Nome, To-
way, Wapsapenica, and another is about to
be established at the Big Magnoketa river
This is an excellent route for movers wishing
to emigrate to the Black Hawk purchase from.
the southern country.
Some Of our eastern brethren suggest that
.szNe Frontier" would have been an appro-
pirate title for our journal. Nota bad idea.
But then, either our s.local habitafion, or our
namc,'' must have been changed even be-
fore this time. The frontier is already SO far
beyond us, that we know not where to place it..
It is harder to find than the north was in Mr..
Pope's days:
.sAsk where 3 the North! at York it's on the
Tweed;
In Scotland at the Orcadcs, and there
At Greenland, Zelnbla, or the Lord knows
where. =
None Of the fraternity will be safe in arroga-
ting any such title, till they set up their banner
within reach Of the tide-water of the Pacific.
To FORM VIGOROUS MIND.-I4et
every youth early settle it in his mind,
that if he ever would be any thing, he
has got to make himself; or, in other.
words, to rise by personal application.
Let him always try his own strength,
and try it effectually, before he is al
lowed toscall upon others; send him
backsase;ssand again to the resources Of
his own mind, and make him feel that
there is nothing too hard for industry
and perseverance to accomplish. In.his
early and timid flights, let him know
that stronger pinions are near and rea-
dy to sustain him, but only in case of
a5eo.ute necessity. When, in the rug
ged paths Of science, if difficulties inn
pede his progress which he cannot. sur
mount, let him be helped over them;
but let him never think Of being led,
when he has power to walk without
help; nor Of carrying his ore to anoth-
er's furnace, when he can smclt it in
his own. .aaaonya,aoxs.
TEMPER. If we consider how much
the comfort or uneasiness Of all around
us1depends on the state Of our temper,
we would surely endeavor to render it
sweet and accommodating.
