ST. MATHEWS SUNDAY scHooL.-The chill

ST. MATHEWS SUNDAY ScHO0L.-The chill
dren of st. Mathews Sunday school, superin-
tended by their reverend pastor. Father JAS
Donelan, ana others, duly celebrated the great
anniversary of American independence. The
company assembled in remote and shady
place in the forest, about two miles from the
CITY, to manifest that republican spirit which
has, at all times, characterized that youthful
band. The leaders left nothing undone to pro-
mote the happiness and comfort of all assem-
bled there. 1t was edifying to witness the de-
corum and regularity SO well preserved
throughout the entire occasion. The graceful
ness ard ease with which the young ladies and
their companions moved through the merry
dance was no less worthy of admiration. I'm
fortunately the rain falling very heavy dis
persed the party at an early hour. Father
Donelan exerted himself unsparingly to shell
ter the many who had not where to take refuge.
and thus exposed himself for the benefit of his
little ones. Were it not for this dsappoint-
ment the affair promised to be exceedingly
pleasant one.
SABBATH SCHOOL CELEBRATION. The Yves
ley Chapel Sabbath School spent yesterday in
Berry's woods. When the rain commenced
falling, the children scampered to the Glen
wool Cemetery, where a number of them
found shelter IN the sexton quarters Those
of the Ryand Chapel were at Roches spring,
and fed from the pclting of the storm to the
barn on the premises. The children of Nc.
Kendree Sabbath School had their sport
spoiled at Gales woods. The pupils of the
church OF which the Rev. a. g. Clrothers is
the pastor, enjoyed themselves in Kibbey' 8
woods. The rain was the only bar to the en-
joyment OF the little people, many of whom
had their clothes drenched. We have heard
of 10 other Sunday Schools who repaired to
the woods for their fourth of July cnjoyments.
sY We arc compelled to omit to-day. owing
to the pressure on our columns, our George
town letter, giving particulars Of the celebra-
ton of the fourth OF July, and other mater &
of Importance to the general reader. The
following paragraph is selected from the COM
Elunication Of our correspondent:
1.-The -four market remains very quiet with
but little doing held this morning at So 80
aS9. IS for standard brands. No grain arriving
Sales of new wheat to arrive next week at
Sl.S7t for prime chaff, red. Corn would not
command over 81.
The MARKET.-We have seen our principal
market better supplied on many occasions than
it was this morning, and prices lower Now
that there is an indication of excellent crops,
we hope that prices will return to the old livtno
rates Although the seige of Sebastopol might
possibly affect the prices of -four and meal, we
don't see how it can affect the price of black
berries or other articles equally as perishahle,
| and which arc not in demand for expectation.
