THE FOURTH OF JULY-ACCIDENTs.

70 the Editor ot The y. y. Tribune
SIH: The glorious Fourth is once more at hand when
doubtless many in accordance with timchonored custom
viii patriotic enough usher in the day by the dir
charge OF cannon.
For years past hsv. ie instructive dread Of ness
paper the week following the " Fourth, from the fact
that il ia filed with the details of fri htful accidents from
the improper of gmpowder and fire arms. Yet from
these examples of manned and mutated patriots thought
css men and boys will load guns to the nuzzle and ram
cannon with wet clay. Let all then who expect to
celebrate in this way adopt the following few and safe
rules and life and limb will be far
/. Use no gun that has not been proved safe.
p Keep boys and bystanders at n distance.
.. Don't mix fire and powder except as you use them
T. Load with fair charge and 10 more; nothing /.
gsinedby it.
,. Take time 20 sponge the gun and don't hurry.
But a far better way 10 celebrate the approaching
Fourth would be hoist the American ag at half mast
draped in black and under make he firm determined
unutterable resolve battle manfuy for Freedom with
all the powers God has given till tyranny IN No form
shall le protected by its once glorious folds
Should this be the means OF averng one OF those ac
cidenis which il relates, of lettering any from making
