From The Saturday Erenins Posi-.


The Fourth of July was celebrated at Great Salt
Lake City with great deal of apparent enthus-
iasm. A procession was formed which marchedt to
the Tabernacle, where the following exercises
were observed -
Prayer was made by Elder N. H. Felt, when
"the Declaration of Independence" was read by
Mr.. H. Stout. t. t. .-s.... g. ,,.I,a.tst
Capt. Ballo's band played 'sHail Columbia"
after which an appropriate speech was made by
Mr.. H. G. Sherwood, in behalf of the 81 agedvet-
erans, and tune played by Capt. Pitts band
Then song was sung, from which we extract the
following two verses:
Though sister States discordant jar,
And quarrel over slavery
Though North and South should go to war,
Utah at peace will ever be.
Though demagogues our fall may seek,
Zion is strong-her foes are weak.
Though fell disunion gain the sway,
Where vile sedition now is rife,
And fright the Eagle bird away, 90
To distant States devoid OF strife.
Here may ne wend his weary flight,
And soar amid our mountains height.
An address and the singing of the Star Spangled
Banner closed the performances OF the forenoon.
In the afternoon the party again assembled, when
they were called to order by W. Z. Stalnes' one
of the Committee and the choir sung Cali Hail the
Day." Prayer by Elder w. Woodruff: =, -.
