CELEBRATION OF THE Ara IN BosroS AND VI
CINITY.--We spent last week in Boston, and
had an opportunity of witnessing the manner
in which our great national anniversary il com.
memorated in that city. The city authorities,
this year, as usual, acting under tho dictates of
patriotism or policy, appropriated several thou
sand dollars to defray the expenses Of the Cele-
bration, consisting of the morning salutes of ar
tlliery, the military and civic procession, the
grafton, and other exercises in fremont Temple.
the city dinner to the authorities and invited
gueuts in the middle of the day, and tho brill
liant display of fireworks on the Common. The
usual interest of tho occasion, was this year,
diversified by boat races on Charles river be-
tween three and five o'clock, between the rival
amateur boat clubs of Boston and New York.
The crowd was almost beyond the conception
OF dweller of our peaceful mountains, there
being probably more than so, 900 persons in the
city above the usual inhabitants. As whole,
it was, though certainly an imposing, noisy,
Babel-like affair, in which have no particu-
lar desire ever to be caught again.
Wewere, however, the most struck with the
opening scenes of the day, which saluted our
senses as we stood in an upper window of the
house OF friend in Cambridge overlooking
Boston and large portion Of the magnificent
surrounding country; when the hundred gun
salute, beginning on Boston common at sunrise,
was responded to by the artillsryof the Charles
ton Navy yard, the U. S. ships in the harbor,
the similar salutes atDorchcster, Brighton, and
other towns, whose laundering commingled
with the merry peal Of every bell in all that
populous tract Of country made, with the vari
GUS gatherings of men, and tho hundreds Of
starry flags streaming over them, most ami
mating scene. But the celebration at Boston
was only one of the scores that took place in
that section Of the country At Dorchester
there was great Celebration, at which Edward
Everett delivered the Grafton, and another at
Manchester, n H., at which John P. Hale de-
lvered the grafton.

capital. In Massachusetts, they made the Free
Soil leader of the State U. S. enatcr,--boldiy
voted the removal of Loring, passed Personal

We are at loss to know what to do with such

then all turn in and put down " the midnigh,

IMPORTANT RAILROAD DECISION. the late
County Court in Caledonia County a jury case
was decided of much interest, especially to all
who reside ON the borders of Railroads. The
Passumpsic Railroad sued one Thomas Nelson,
I" for carelesay aud nesligentiy permitting his
cattle to be in the highway, SO that they passed
on to the track of the Railroad, at 3 crossing,
"by reason of which the cars were thrown from
the trsck, and much injured, and the suit was
brought to recover damage SO occasioned- The
jury, under the charge Of Judge Poland, brought
in verdict for the Railroad for $3.50 damages
and costs. If this decision, which reveCses the
popular notion on the subject, il confirmed by
the higher courts, it will disabuse the miads Of
many who have supposed the liabilities all on
the side of the Railroads
