The Montpelier papers announce a
grand Celebration to he held at that place on
the Fourth. The arrangements are on the
most extensive scale. They are to have a
Boston Blnd,an Artillery Company, Fire Works,
Professions &C., and what is most commenda-
bic, they have raised a large sum to dcfray en-
penses. They are also making ngemen,s
with the Railroad TO take people to The celebra-
ton at reduced rates. a good idea, which onr
citizens ought 10 take into consideration. We
hope Burlington will not be behind in another
respect, viz. That of funds. Let US show
/ Montpelier that, although she is the Capitol,
we have what may be called CAPITAL, here,-
wealth, wit and women.
-The crops in Ohio look beautiful. The
papers agree in representing them as promising
The Corn is up several inches, and is three
weeks earlier than it was last year, when il
was kept bach unusually late by The drouth
The Wheat is generally good ,-oc sionalIy a
field something injured by the frost. The
Grass, both meadows and clover fields, looks
beautiful. The surplus crop of Ohio, Wheat
Corn, Grass, &C., in good season, is immense
far surprising that of any other State.
