MAsoNIc CELEBRATrON AT ROCKPORT, MO

MASONIC CELEBRATION AT ROCKPORT, NO.
Or Saturday last, we attended the Masonic
celebration at RockpOrt. 1t is useless for US to
say more, than THAI it was in accordance with
the Rockport style of doing the agreeable. A
an early hour, the people of the county, Brown
vile, Linden, Oregon and Nebraska City, had
.cougregated in large numbers and at 10
O'Clock the large procession headed by the Ne
braska City Band, moved from the Masonic
Hall, up the street in front of Stout's Hotel,
where q large delegation of Ladies were re-
ceiYsd. The procession then marched through
the principal streets to the church, which could
not contain one-half Of those desiring admis-
sion. The exercises there were, Music by the
Band, public Installation of the officers of
North Star Lodge, and presentation of their
Charter-D. G. N. FOSTER oficiating-an
o-ration-of which modesty forbids US speak
ing, as We had the honor of delivering it
which was followed by an eloquent and inter-
esting address by JAMES FOSTER, ESQ, of Ore
gon, Deputy Grand Master of the State of
Missouri.
The choir from Brownville, under charge of
Capt THURBER and LADY, were present by In
v~itatiou, and prepared, but owing to an edict of
the Grand Lodge of MISUNDERSTANDING the
singing. of Masonic Odes, publicly-did not
d, sing.
The procession was again formed and march
ed to the grove, where a sumptuous repast was
prepared, and of which all partOOk Fright
heartily" Thus ended the Masonic demon
stration.
Ii the evening, a Ball was given. As we
ieft-fof home in the afternoon, we are unable
to speak of it from personal knowledge; bui
were informed all went Of menily.

NEBRASKA CITY.

We made a short visit this week, to our sis
ter, Nebraska City, and were. pleased to find
that she has not been misrepresented by. her
friends. They have a beautiful town site; the
Inhabitants men of energy and indomitable
perseverance,. Several fine buildings in pro-
cess of erection-a fine, brick church building,
nearly completed, which would. be creditable
to any Of. the much older cities in the states;
in short, everything shows forth Nebraska go
ahead-atiyeness Success attend their efforts.
We found RIDDEN & WHITE, the extensive
Land Agents, driving matters with 'six horse
power" They are doing a heavy business,
and certainly are deserving of it; a more gen
tlemanly, business mar thansMr, RIDDEN, is to
be found no where. Persons having business
in the line of. that firm, can find no better
hands 10 which to entrust it.

FOURTH OF JULY AT SALEM.

Mr.. EDIToE;-Though it is true that we
live back of the "Half-breed Tract" and in
the south eastern part of this rich and beauti-
full Territory, yet We are not out of the reach
of the influence of that spirit of freedom and
patriotism, which wrought such wonders among
our ancestors in 1776. No; as proof of this,
early on the morning of the 4th inst, quite a
large number of ladies and gentlemen, of this
and adjoining counties, assembled at the very
pleasant village of Salem, for the purpose Of
celebrating the glorious Anniversary of Amer
lean Independence, in a style peculiar to our
selves and of the American nation. We had
representatives from almost every State in the
Union. The Declaration of Independence was
read, by the Hon. CHARLES McDoNALD; after
which Mr.. PLEASANT ROGERS delivered an
eloquent Grafton, suitable to the occasion, and
with which all seemed well pleased. He was
followed by Hon. c. MCDONALD, with a few
appropriate and well-timed remarks. After
which the audience were invited to partake OIL
a sumptuous dinner, prepared by the good cit
liens of Salem and vicinity.
We do not think any further comments up
on the table and It's ample accommodation,
wall be necessary, than to say the superinten-
dence of the whole matter was given into the
hands of Hon. JOHN A. SINGLETON, and ].
c. LINCoLN-men who understand pleasing
the Inward mar as well as the outward.
The day passedqhietly and pleasantly away;
not a voice of discord was heard, but all seem
ed like a band of brothers and sisters, assem-.
bled for the purpose of enjoying the day and
commemorating the events which lead to oul
independence.
1t was indeed ajoyouS day for old and young,
and I feel proud of the spirit, of the people oil
my adopted home, as manifested on that day,
And though, in one very important matter
we are deficient, I am proud to say that III
Richardson county, we have some as fair and
lovely flowers among the young ladies, as are
to be found either East, West or South of us
and they, too, were found celebrating with theil
sweet voices and lovely smiles, throughout the
day; a union of sentiment and spirit, there
seemed to. be, and if annexation should soo1
follow this long to be remembered and frs
celebrated 4th in Richardson county, it vii
not seem strange. +
