Celebration at Auburn.

OCAcOFAlkon AT AnDuEMe
The anniversary OF our National Independ-
enee was celebrated at Auburn, on Saturday last.
1t was intended the celebration should have ia
ken place in the beautiful oaken grove which has
repeatedly echoed to the cheers of the assembled
citizens on this anniversary but as the weather
was unfavorable in prospect, it vas deemed ex-
pedlent to Fave the protection of an GrtifcaaS
roof.
Accordingly the exercises commenced in the
meeting house by soul stirring voluntary on the
organ, followed by "Hail Columbia" in magnih
cent style. by the accomplished organist, Mr.,
Henry l., Rice Of Auburn. Rev. Mr.. Adams, the
minister OF the Congregational Society, then Of
an ode by the choir.
Mr. Adams then delivered address, which
manifested that he had feeling Of patriotism
as well as religion in his heart
hymn by the choir was then sung, succeed
ing which an original poem was delivered by
John Mellish, Esq, of Auburn, and which,
though occupying nearly an hour, was listened to
with marked attention and interest throughout.
The poem was esteemed by those best qualified to
Judge highly creditable production.
The assembly (Mr. Daniel T. Eaton presiding0
now vacated the church, and seated themselves
In the Town Hall, to partake of a rich and boun
THU collation. there in readiness on tables taste
fnlIy decorated with floral embellishments.
The appetite for the bounties at the table be-
ing fully satisfied, the remaining time wis oceu-
pied by speeches, toasts, &c.
The speeches of Col. William Emerson and Mr..
Elbrldge G. Warren were replete with amuse
ment, and all were pleased with the ardor which
accompanied them.
Of the sentiments presented, the following are
the only ones the writer was able to obtain
The 4th Of July. l776-Its memory is cherish
ed IN the heart of every American patriot.

them come the vigorous peculiarities of the peo-
pie, the perfect democracy of her town meetings,
and the absence of artificial classes in her popu-
laton."

The reason no bride to the altar h We led:

As be who hsrps, 10 song or sonnet,
On ladies' style of dress or bounet;
Who grudges to wife her dresses,

1t is proper to add bthat this celebration was
projected by the ladies', and carried out by them
through their committee of arrangements 1t is
not the first successful effort of the kind in this
place, and the writer would venture to express
the hope that the manner Of celebrating the ma
tional jubilee which has repeatedly been so en-
tireiy successful here may be continued hereafter
faom year to year.

ACCIDENTS ON THE FIFTH Monday morn
ing while the train from Boston, on the East
ern Railroad, was in Newburyport, at about
9 IA o'clock, the wife of Charles Locke
agad fifty two, went into the cars with mar
ried daughter, who was starting for Ports
mouth, and while bidding her good bye
stopped until the cars had started. On at
tempting to leave the train after it was in mo-
ton, she slipped from the platform, falling
across the track. Three cars passed over her
body, nearly sevOring it. She was taken up,
but died almost Immediately. A daughter,
IN attempting to assist her, had her hand
and other parts Of her body bruised.
A man by the name of Joseph Gibbon, re-
siding in Stoneham, undertook to jump from
the Boston and Maine train, Monday after
noon, at Edgeworth, to get his hat. which he
lost in passing from one car to the other. He
Jumped against train of gravel cars which
were standing on the side track, and fell back
against the passenger train in such manner
that he threw his feet under the train. They
were badly crushed, and will probably have
to be amputated.

The ATLANTIC MONTHLY. A Magazine of Lit
erature. Art, and Politics. Boston Phillips,
Sampson, & Co.'s
The first volume Of this periodical is now col
lected and published entire, with title page and
table of contents, in neat and elegant binding
or the several numbers, as they have successive
lyappeared, we have freely expressed our opin-
ion-that of general satisfaction and approval
That opinion, however. is of little consequence,
now, one way or the other, since. by universe,
consent, so far as we are informed, the Atlantic
is conceded to be the most successful periodical
of its class yet attempted in this country, and
with but few equals on the other side.
1t will be convenience to many to procure the
successive volumes entire, rather than to take
the numbers as they come out For this want.
the publishers have wisely provided. The vol
ume is very neat one, and would be valuable,in
the choicest library.
1t is for sale at Peck & Knapp's, opposite the
Spy Office.

The FIFTH IN BosToN were two cele
brations in Boston on the fifth, one by the city
authorities, with a dinner in Faneui Hall, and
the other under the auspices of the Young
Mems Democratic Club, with dinner at the Re-
we're House. John S. Holmes was the orator of
the day at the former, and Rufus 'Choate at the
latter. Edward Everett spoke at both celebra.
tons, and Robert C. Winthrop wrote from Ma.
hant letter to both. The following extract from
Mr.. VS. letter, giving the reason why he could
aot attend the Democratic celebration, is charae-
teristic of the mani:
being quietly established by the seaside for
the Summer, pray to be excused from adding an
Other to the ample a,raB of honore9 guests by

Mr. ChOates Grafton was in his characteristic
vein, superbly inflated and hunkerish.

A PLEASANT PLACE TO LIVE IN.-The Kan
zas correspondent Of the Boston Journal
gives an account of the experience of Mr..
Hargrove,. a Georgian, in slave state Mr..
Hargroye resided few years in Monroe
County in Mississippi, before removing to
Kanzas. During that period, thirty. six muir
ders were committed in the county, and yet
no man was ever punished, either for murder
or manslanghter "In fact" remarked Mr..
ID. "you may commit any crime under Heav-
en-, there, without fear of punishment except
one. You may assault, stab, shoot, kill, as
much as you please, without much danger
but you must not tamper with slaves.-They
seldom punish anybody for crimes towards a
white man, but they will lynch half dozen
white men for stealing one niger.

JUDGE fancy 40 YEARS AGo.-In 1928. at
camp meeting in Washington county Md.
where many negroes were present, Metho
dist clergyman-Rev. Jacob Grubber. took
OCCASION to denounee the institution of slav.
cry, and predict alarming consequences from
Its continuance. For this he was tried at the
Hagerstown court, the following month. ON a
charge OF melting slaves to mutiny and rebel
against their masters The trial resulted in
an acquittal. The senior counsel for his de-
fence was the present Chief Justice Taney.
The course OF reasoning adopted by the learn
ed counsel is in striking contract to the tone
OF the bred Scott decision, recently promul-
gated by the same person. He did not merely
contine himself to a defence of his client, but
proceeded to give his sentiments upon the
subject OF slavery In order to show what
he then thought, we copy the following par
agraph:
"a hard necessity, indeed, compels us to
endure the evils of slavery for a time 1t
was imposed upon us by another nation
while we were yet in state of colonial vas
salege. 1t connot be easily or suddenly re-
moved. Yet while it continues, it is a blot
on our national character, and every real lover
Of freedom confidently hopes that it will be
eifectnally, though il must be gradually,
wiped away, and earnestly looks for the means
by which this necessary object may be best
attained. And. until il shall be accomplished,
until the time shall come when we can point
without blush to the language held in the
declaration Of independence, every friend of
humanity will seek to Tighten the CALLING
chain of slavery, and better to the utmost Of
his power the wretched condition of the
slave"
