THE FOURTH OF JULY

IcdSoH VIII SopuISU1.
THE FOURTH OF JULY
Was celebrated as generally in this county
on Tuesday last as il has been for several
years past. Almost every town in the coun-
~ had its orator, its procession, and all the
paraphanalia Of Il jubilam people. In this
town all the exercises were gone through
with, as published by us last week, in man
ner highly credtable to those who were en-
gagged in them. The appearance of the
Light Infantry under Captain HATcH was of
course, as it always is, every thing which
could be expected or desired Of military
company. The orators, we learn, did ex-
ceeding!y well all round. We did not have
the pleasure of listening to Mr.. PARKER, hut
we understand from those who did, that he
acquittc himself in manner equally crcdi-
table to him aud gratifying to the audience.
Mr.. TENNEY's Grafton was neatly written,
well spoken discourse, seasoned somewhat
with sarcasm and free from humbug. Mr..
MARSH, who spoke at Milton, is said to have
surpassed himself, and what higher praise
can be awarded to any mani The follow
ing are the toasts which were drank at the
Young Mems Celebration. The dinner was
excellent, such as Mr.. Taylor always pro-
vides, and passed of very pleasantly on the
cold water principle. GEORGE A. ALLEN,
ESQ. presided at the table.
