Monument at Fort Necessity.

On the,morning Of the 4th Of July inst,
the Cornerstone Of Monumen to the me-
mory Of .WAsnlNcToS was laid, with appro.
pirate ceremonies, al Fort Necessity, Fayelie
county, Pa, in the presence Of vast con-
course Of people. This done, the company
proceeded 10 Fayeite Springs, where boun-
tiful repast was prepared by Sebastian Rush,
Esq. in the tasteful style for which he is ia
nous. The birthday Of Freedom was spent
with peculiar zest amidst the impressive
scenery, the pure atmosphere, and the lin
pil fountains of this elevated spot.
Among the participants on the occasion,
we notice the name Of our fellow citizen,
Lee Roy Kramer, Esq.
W. T. WILEY, ESQ, Of this place, was
invited 10 attend as Orutor Of the Day, and
the selection would have done honor 10 the
occusion-but Mr.. W. chose to abide at
home, and attend to the moro humb!e-yet
holier-anl 10 him happier employment OF
training his F" Light Infantry" as he facet-
ously styles the numerous band Of little ones
TO whom he regularly imparts instruction
in the Sabbath School. We mention this as
an example TO the many Church members
who can't find time' to teach in the Sun
day School, and make an effort for the good
Of the rising generation. Few pursuits are
SO brain. dis,mctins as the law, and yet a
lawyer in full business, when his heart is in
the work, can find time TO share in an en-.
ployment which will tell upon the eternal
interests Of its bcnelicmries.

Mr.. Editor-Your paper Of Saturday last

our borough, on the 4th Of July, but there
was one meeting which you had no account
of in the Mirror. 1t was held privately, but
os its proceedings have been published in the

or give your readers their tar marks
The chairman was smallisll man, with a

The Secretary was another smallish man,
who always trots aound after the 'Rerubli.
cam to see how the communications take,
and to hear the people guessing who wrote
them, and always denies having any hand in
them.
The speaker was politician from Wheel

The Concert,

Which was held The evening in Monon-

has ever come off in Morsantown. OF the
music, which was prominent feature Of the
occasion, we are not competent to give an
opinion. II there is music in piano-or
any. conronrse Of sweet sounds can be
fingered out Of it, our tympanum is not fash
ioned to appreciate it. Give us the organ,

The compositions evinced high degree Of

worthy of circulation and preservation.
