HALFWAY HoUsE.-This popular hotel is
now kept by that well-known landlord, Mr. J.
w. Hutton, who has done much to improve the

refreshment of man and beast, and better
article of liquors and cigars cannot be found
than there and then provided We enjoyed
lounge in mine hosts easy chair, and found
the build decidedly loose-commodious enough
to hold better half on either side. Rather
large ideas might come from that chair, provi-
ded they were commensurate to the room and
adequate to the owner. We felt just like tell

so, had not mine host told the story of the

CELEBRATION AT UPPER CALAvERITAs.-On
of the most pleasant and appropriate celebra-

ever our good luck to witness, came off on
Monday last at Upper Calaveritas. In the
evening" about six o'clock, the programme of
festivities was opened by the firing of thirteen
booming salutes for the old States. The Eas-
ton Hall being then prepared for the admission
of the large audience in attendance, the Presi
dent, Mr.. 7. N. Beatty, called the company to
.orde- .ndintroduced Mr.. II. Gilbert, the Reader
of the Declaration Three cheers were
Purple, Esq, was then introduced as the Ora
tor of the day. His Grafton was brief, classi-
cal and thrilling-touching the chords of pa
triotism, and leading the mind and the heart
directly into those trains of reflection appro-
pirate to the occasion. 1t has never been our
lot to hear a Fourth of July Grafton more
tastefully conceived and delivered than this (;
and regret exceedingly that we were unpre-
pared to reproduce it in our columns-Mr.
p having neither written notes or manuscript
copy.
In the evening, after the conclusion of the
speaking, the festivities were continued in
Calaveritas Hall, by the participation of the
company in dance. Some fifty or sixty ladies
were in attendance and where there were
so many that were lovely and beautiful, we
should deem it the heighth of ungallantry to
designate any special ones among the crowd.

as much difficulty in casting the vote of Sebas tian, as it may be difficult to select standard. bearer of the party, if we are not to have a voice In the Camden convention.
 Now l venture to say that the democracy of this county are in favor of Hon. A. Rust as the hrst, and Hon. T. B. Flournoy as the second choice, and 1t Is hoped that in the event of none of the delegates attending. the vote of this county will be so given. It was suggested that another meeting should be held, but after consultation with the parties to the Greenwood meeting, they agreed certain would be leader ot the party decreed it otherwise.
 dislike to trouble you with such things as are contained in this communication, bat I be- lleve that democratic principles should be prac- ticed as we'll as preached and for one will not submit to the dictatorial course of clique. am Tn hopes that Hon. A. Rust may be the choice of the convention, as I know that he is the frst choice of Sebastian county.
