PRErTr.--A Canada paper tells the following
story:
A gentleman who was travelling down on the St.
Lawrence on one Of the American boats on the 4th
of July, got into conversation with an old American
who from his grey locks and apparent age, might
have taken part in the Revolution. The conversa-
ton gradually turned to the anniversary which is
celebrated Oh the day IN question, when it was re-
marked that the celebration Of the 4h Of July in the
States would be done away with. This apparently
reused the octogenarian; raising himself to his
height, and turning TO o,ir acquaintance, he eaid

hear read the day of Judgment, will be the Dec
laration oil American Independence, and ,ba, dav
