SUNDAY SCHOOLS AT PORTLAND.

We desired very much to attend this
celebration, but circumstances prevented.
We learn from friend who was present
that they had delightful time. They
met in Portland, and marched to the head
of Buffington's Island, where tables, seats,
&C., were arranged, on a gently -sloping
ground. Lyman Stedman, Esq, with his
violin, led the chorus of juvenile voices,
in singing Sunday school hymns and pat
riotic songs. The same gentleman also
read the Declaration of Independence
Rev. J. Barringer made short and appro-
pirate speech to the scholars in the fore
noon. A fine collation. was spread, and
heartily partaken Of; after which addresses
were delivered by S. A. Burnap, Esq, Of
Pomeroy, Rev. ]. Barringer, and Lyman
Stedman. Our informant (who is bach
elor, by the way) declares that Portland
can beat the nation in fair, plump, hearty
handsome ladies. Shouldn't wonder

THE FOURTH.

The day was delightful-clear, and just
cool enough to be pleasant. At sunrise,
national salute was fired. Circum stances
beyond our control prevented us from par
ticipating in any of the festivities of the
occasion; but this gave us better oppor-
tunity of witnessing the preparations in
progress. Never has the day been more
universally observed i'll this place. BY
previous arrangement, the stores were all
closed at 8 O'Clock in the morning, and
an hour later, the town seemed almost de-
serted-fathcrs, mothers, sisters, brothers
all had joined in some of the numerous
celebrations in progress; and if the town
was empty, the neighboring hill-tops and
groves were vocal with the hum Of happy
voices. We have no details of many OF
these celebrations; but, such as we have,
we give below:
