at several places in our county. We have not
received the proceedings" Of our fellow-cili-
zens Of the clover end" and win tell the
world what took place en- the occasion Oftheir
festival if furnished with the data on next
week, WeleRrn hat in the EAST End" the
Declaration Of Independence was read with
fine effect by M. B. Lamb, Esq, and that an
"acre" Of people hung upon the words, an d
sent up their shouts of applause to the Patr 0
ic sentiments and soul-stirring eIoquence Of

Our own citizens who could not get awt~ J.
though no preparation had been previously
made, considered that s.it would never do TO
give it up So" and about lOo'cIock, a negro
and bell were soon turned loose upon us to
give notice of what was soon to take place at
the Courthouse. We found there quite

boss, who read the Declaration Of IndePend-
ence in such a manner as to convince his
hearers that he would not have hesitated to
have stuck his fist TO that document had he
been presented when it was penned. After
this was over. Maj. J. 7. Russell exhibited
any where. As old as twas the speech was
cxcellenf--itwas well read, and would com
pare fayorably with any production Of the
kind that we have ever listened to.
