THE Fourth.

At many places in this county. the fourth
was celebrated in spirited and becoming
manner. So far as we have been able to
learn, no accidents occurred, as at other
places, to mar the festivities Of the occa-
sion.
There were two very large parties engaged
in celebrating the day at Clarington. The
proceedings Of one of which will be found
in to-day's paper. The proceedings oI
the other have not been, furnished u.s.
We learn, however, that some three hun.
dred persons took dinner at W. Rutter's
Hotel Dr.. McMahon delivered the ad.
dress. At this celebration the Barnesville
Brass Band were in attendance.
So far as we know, everything passed
off at both celebrations harmoniously, and
to the satisfaction Of all concerned.
As for ourself. we celebrated the day in
footing it down the river from Clarington
TO New Martinsville- distance of eleven
miles-having left the former place abou,
o'clock A. NJ We noticed that the
wheat crops along the river were most ex.
oellent. The corn, also, Notwithstanding
the dry weather, looks very promising.
