This is the day-let us rejoice in it.
"The banner'd pomp Of war, the glittering files

never forget that they the trustees OF those who

other manifestations of respect for the anniversary

| From her inspired pen have come many beautiful
offerings OF exalted genius and refined taste. If
the counenance be any criterion whereby TO Judge

The cholera reporter has been discovered. lie
now admits that he made mistake. lie says that
he had merely written to the editor of the Tribune
upon the subject, for his private information; but that
that gentleman had, contrary to his uhe reporters)

was not the slightest reason for any, because there
| had not been any case of cholera, and of doing an
INJURY TO the village by lettering the public from
coming here To say the very least of it, the indi
vldual IN question has evinced re ckless dis
regard OF common prudence, not to speak Of the

which appeared on the face OF his communication.
