bate, though upon question of no very great
popular interest, q. e. ''nre all mankind de.
Scended from one being, was ably and learned

force with which the arguments pro and con

We understand that a fare up is shortly an

The wool business has been rather slack, this

wool produced in our county which brings

somewhat dull. A great deal still remains un-

very little will, we think, be kept over for next
years market. Necessity will compel most
holder to sell at almost any rate. The graiu
crops, from present appearances, will be large

small for the advanced state of the season, vet

favorable, will be ordinary, at least. Harvest

w ASllINGTON, fA.t- July q 1SOt.-
Eds. IntslligeRceF: The anniversary of indie
pendence Day celebrated or Saturday the third
was most pleasant and agreeable day TO the
people of our town. At about 10 A. N. the pupils
of the Union School, formed into procession and
marched through the principal streets to
Netherlands Grove, just outside the borough
limits, where they were to spend the day. The
procession, composed entirely of the pupils and
teachers of the school, amounting to about 500,
the children all neatly dressed aud looking as
happy as school children only can look, was,
indeed, delightful sight At the head of each
division of the school was banner, bearing an
appropriate motto, and in front Of the long line,
as they gaily wound along, the Washington
Brass Band discoursed delightful music. They
were followed to the Grove by crowds of ladies
aud gentlemen-the elite and coumonalty of
our town. Without attempting description of
the good times rnjoyed, both by young folks and
old. etit suffice that joy. tnirth and gaiety were
universal until P. n when satisfied with the
pleasure of the day, the varied crowd began to
diSperSe aud to return homeward.
A glorious day was enjoyed by select COM
pany Of gentlemen, who went into the country,
some six or seven miles, to chosen little Sc
Guided place near an ice-coll spring and under
n grassy forest of broad, breezy oaks. Ungal.
laut fellowsl they took neither wives nor sweet
hearts with them; yet we lea that amongst
the patriotic doings and exercises of the day
they were not altogether forgotten, as many
hearty toast testified Wit patriotism, cold
chicken and ice cream (svith other extras were
the prevalent glories of the day. Such q feast
OF reason and flow of sOulp has scarcely ever
been participatedin by the gentienempreSemt, as
ION that day" Some three or four other pic
mic parties went from town, all of which we're
mighty pleasing and satisfactory TO those en-
gagged. Indeed our entire population seemed to
be in high enjoyment. and the day will long be
remembered as happy one.
The CONTEXT on last Thursday night proved q

A large number of the most respectable ladies'

servants, from the city and country, assembled
ON Saturday last, at the grove on Humphreys
Hill, facing Wheeling Creek, and about mile
from the Clay monument, on the National Road;
for the purpose of celebrating, by pic mic, &c,
the anniversary ofonr Independence. The mana
gers had provided bountfully every thing that
could tempt the appetite. Ham, chickens, tur-
key, tongue, sardines, cucumbers, green peas
early potatoes aud tomatoes from Norfolk
picked oysters, Holsters, game, claret, cham
paigne, ale, brandy and the best of whisky, to-
gether with sixteen barrels of ice, furnished Il
dinner altogether unexceptionable. Besides
these, cake in every variety, lcecream, preserved
peaches, nuts and candies, furnished dessert
which, could not be-deserted.
After dinner (E. NJ. Norton, Esq, acting as
rhairnan) the ladies and gentlemen present as
sembled under the wide spreading shade, for
the purpose of having regular succession of
speeches and songs appropriate to the occasion.
The Indies, had provided guitar and melodeOni
and the order of proceedings was us follows viz:
introductory remarks by + NJ. Morton, who as
chairman, called upon John Goshorn, Esq, who
entertained the company with an appropriate
speech. lie was followed by song ac-
cOtnpanied with the guitar, hy Miss Hamil-
ton of Wheeling. Col James S. Wheat, OF
this city, came next in order, and he was
also followed by the same lady, who sings with
much sweetness, and added very greatly to the
enjoyment of the company Thomas Sweeney,
ESQ, of this city, came next, and he was FOL
lowed by Mrs Mccormick with song, accom-
panied by the melodeOn. Hon. Lewis Steen
rod Hon. Sherrard Clemens, E. NJ. Norton, Esq,
and Thomas Sweeney successfully addressed the
asSemblage, and they were followed with songs
by Captain Terry, of this city, Miss Anna Tenn
pie, aud by the Star Spangled Banner III chorus
by the whole company.
Altogether, the day vas most delightful
one, aud when the same company are again to-
gether, may we be there TO see.
