The Fourth.

We believe there will be no general celebra-
ton of the 4th of July by the citizens Of Lynch
burg-unless, AS they ought to do, they proceed
TO make arrangements at once. Late As ii is,
they might yet procure a very creditable cele.
bration by going about it Immediately.
But we trust that at least all the places of bus
iday, even if we have public demonstration.
This is especially due to thesy young men who arc
clerks in business houses. Condemned 70 close
confinement during the hot. swotering days of
the summer sostce, it is manifestly proper that
they should be relieved on such an occasion as
the 4th July. If they do not cultivate patri-
otism ri such time they at least consult health
and comfort-which, considering the superabun-
dance of patriotism we always have on hand, is
perhaps the best they could do.
We hear that there will be several private par
ties who will celebrate the ih by pic MICS in the
country. This is we'll European nations have
great many more annual holydays than we have
- some of them lasting II week at a tme-and
they are none the worse for it. 1t is relief q.
like t. mind and body.to abstract ones self from
the corroding cares of business to spend day
either in town or country, in the cultivation o
the social affections and the innocent enjoyment,
of the day. We trust that the fourth will be thu
observed in Lyuchburg.
