TIE CoMIrG FoURTH The time is East
approaching when nation, as by one im-
pulse will raise their voice in uirls from enc
and OF the Continent to the other in celebra
ting the day which gave birth to American
freedom. Every American awaits with feel
ing OF pride the coming Of this glorious
day, to add their mite in showing proper
respect towards its celebratsa As yet no
preparation has been made in CroTille
towards paying that respect .hich is due to
the occasion. In other places Of less note
arrangements have been made tow rds its
proper observance on grand scale; then
why not let the citizens of Orovile take the
matter in hand, and get up one of their
old fashioned jueiees to which fond memory
often rcverts in The days Of our childhood.
Let thcfremen take the thing in hand, and
have their first grand parade ON the coming

lMPRTASr ARTICLE OF COMMERcE.-The
'ommerchl editor Of the .fHd makes the
ollowing- observations with regard to this
commodity:
1.-The Siglo newspaper, published in the
City of Mexico. says that the United States
| consume annually, in the manufactures, sui
)huric aci to the amount Of from SIS.
90 ,0c0 10 S22 000, 600; and perhaps il wosld
OF be out of the way to estimate the i'm
'orts Of sulphur into Great Britain at
tearly the sane amount. In these two
ountrles Mexico should find markets for
yer $50 900 900 worth ofsulphur annually.
The price If sulphur Is now about $50 per
on. in the English and AWerican markets,
or the article brought from Nesuvius and
he sulpher beds of TIA The article from
Popocatapetl would OF course command a
higher price, fl ON its superiority The sup
" in Vesuvius is limited while that Of
Popocatape;. would find little diminuton by
he labor Of century. There soems to be
40 Goubt of the existance of iucalculnble
quantities of pure sulphur in the vicinity Of
,his Volcano From observations actually
made, and estimates formed on the spot, by
scientific officers, il is believed that the sui
phur thrown up and hardened may he set

The Government Of Mexico has already
given attention to this subject.
NED McGowAN's TRIAL.-The Napa Re
porter has the following article upon this
subject:
" This famous trial closed at II o'clock on
Monday night last The prosecution scarcely
made out case against the defendant In

him to hang IA c0t--and so thought the jury,

to dead certainty. This case should teach
the people Of California the gross mi u tice,
tyranny and cruelty of which masses of men

the effect produced by the addresses was seen in

not only the speakers, but this great underta-

This was great day for Lowndcsvlle-a day
