The seycnly.f anniversary Of American
Independence was celebrated in This city to-day
with great spirit. The volunteers turned out
largely. and made handsome display. The
Sons OF Temperance also appeared in full re-
gala, with music, banners sc. They march

to Square, where he Declaration OF lndepend-
ence was read by Mr. Thos. J. Evans, and an ad-
dress delivered by Rev. J. E. Edwards, which ad-
dress we have heard spoken OF IN terms OF highest
commentator. After The formation Of The line,
The Military marched 10 The African Church,
where The Declaration 81 independence was read
BY Capt. Elliott Zone Of The editors oil The Whis,)
and an Grafton replete with eloqnence and patriot
ism delivered by Rev. MIR. Hosc. The exercises
al the Church being over, The companies again
formed, and proceeded TO The Capitol Square,
where The national salute was filed-after
which, the Volunteers filed of 10 their respective
places of dining. One oi The most pleasing and
interesting sights Of The day was The procession Of
Sunday School Scholars. Details will be gwen

He was, we believe, about 30 years OF age, and
