EVANSVILLE, June 81, 1880. 4
Mr.. EDITOR Permit me. through the
medium of your paper, to enquire of our ciu-
zens whether we are to celebrate the 9TH Of
July, or not? If we are, it Is full time some
thing was said about it. The two last were
permitted to pass by almost disregarded, and
as yet no arrangement is made, believe, tor
celebrating this one ! think your plan Of a
pic mic at the Salt Well, an excellent one,
and with ball at night, would be just the
thing. The next question is how shall we
get it up? Well, there are divers ways Let
q committee of some two or three young men
be appointed TO raise Il collection, and the
Ladies will furnish the SweetHeGt3 as they
always do. That, think, is tbs best plan
and the most apt to prove successful. We
pride ourselves on being ahead Of most other
Western cities, but ia this matter we are far
behind The small villages arouad us are
making preparations, and celebrate the
Fourth annually, while we remain dormaut
| 1t is full time we were awake. We shoulC
remember it is the anniversary Of our Ma
tonal Independence. While disorganizer'
and disunionists are at work, we could no
manifest our love and fidelity 10 the Unto
in filter manner than by demonstrating
cur joy on her birth day. Then let Us take
the matter in hand at once and not GfoI
it until something is done If any one car
think Of better plan of procuring the need
fu VIC should be happy to hear from them
Yours, {.

CO Some desperate individual, probably
wishing to change his residence momentarily
for cooler cline, tumbled overheard yester-
day from one of the wharf boats, and popped
head foremost into a ish-box, producing 4
tremendous excitement among the scaly tribe
who tapped their tails Indignantly at this
amphibious innovation. Whether he thought
himself Jonah, and was bent on swallowing a
whale. or what he aoas after down there, we
don't pretend to know-but from the haste
with which he got out, if any whale swallow
ed him, he was yomited up quicker than eveI
Jonah was in his palmiest days.
