pendcnce was road in an elegant and for.
chile style by r. j, Mccullough and clo-
oucnt addresses were delivered by II. b.
swoopc and II. j. Wallace, Esq'rs. after
which proiuso and splendid col lation
was partaken of beneath a canopy ofgreen
boughs, which, remaining on the parent
trunks rs nature had disposed them, aflor-
dcd ample protection from the ardent
beams of the god of day. Meanwhile the
tall swings erected for the especial benefit
of the iuvelines had been we'll exercised
and all the grassy promenades, and wind
ing avenues of the surrounding forest had
been thoroughly explored by romping
misses and sentimental young ladies and
their "gay cavaliers" BY the time all
present had been served with refreshments
the afternoon was far spent, and the COM
pany in the greatest good humor and high
lighted with the manner in which they
had spent another GLORIOUS fourth" con
cludedl TO adjourn for "year and day"
The one near Paradise was equally pleas
ant and gratifying to tho participants
There ftho declaration of Independence
was read by I. Test, Esq, in very
impressive manner. The ample stock of
refreshments which had been generously
provided by the citizens were discussed
in the shadows of grove of lofty hemlocks
whose spreading bran hes and thick foil
rye hid the company from the scorching
rays of the noon-day sun. After disposing
of this sumptuous repast, under which the
tables groaned, an eloquent address was
delivered by Mr.. Test who had been invi-
ted to become the orator of the day, which
was listened to with the profoundest at
tention by the whole audience. Some fur
ther amusements were then engaged in.
after which the company separated in the
greatest hilarity and satisfaction to return
TO their homes.
We understand that very pleasant lit
lie affair of similar character came off at
Wolf Run: two miles below town. We
have received but little information in re-
gard to it; but we have no doubt that it
was equal in all respects, excepting num-
bers, to any of its cotemporaries. Tie de-
claration Of lndev cndence was read by
Mr.. A. p. Moore and brief addresses were
also delivered by Mr.. Moore and Mr.. -
Fulton.
A FIsHlSG PARTY, comprising a large
number of the young men and maidcns
of our quiet village went out last Monday

happy manneron Lick Run, some distance

principal amusement was fishing, although
