The 4th in M1ltonsburg.
For the esprit.

A II
Mr.. EDIToR:--The anniversary of the
Nations Independence was celebrated
in Miltonsburgh with that spirit and zeal
which always characterized the patriotic
citizens of this beautiful village. Two
beautiful hickory arches were placed over
the street in different places. These arch
es were made of tive saplings with limbs
aud leaves on them, their tops plated to-
gether, and the poles planted one on either
side of the street. A streamer composed
of green hickory branches and leaves
woven together, passed from pole to pole.
and in this arch hung beautiful wreaths
of flowers, and from the peak of each
arch streamed the Star Spangled Banner.
The day was uslered in by firing cannon
and the soul stirring music of the fife and
drum &C., At ten O'Clock the citizens had
ready for rearing most splendid hickory
pole. AT this hour the German band
marched through the street, followed by
innumerable hosts of little boys and girls
neatly clad, and bearing in their Juvenile
hands the stripes and stars of the adopted
county of their parents, and their future
home. These were followed by the citi-
zens generally. The crowds marched to
the place where the pole was to be reared,
and with one accord took hold, and the
emblem of American Democracy. stood
erect. The American flag was then run
up while the band delighted the crowds by
a National air. The Declaration of Inde
pendence was then read, and patriotic
and eloquent address delivered by Dir
JAMES NJ. Stout; another national all
from the band, and the crowd dispersed
