LOCAL. MATTERS.
The Fourth in Ottawa.

A large meeting was held at the Court
House on Tuesday evening proceedings
in next column) to take into consideration
the subject Of a suitable celebration of the
4th IN this city. The feeling was unani-
nous and enthusiastic in favor of cele-
bratlon on grand scale and strong COM
mlttee appointed to make suitable arrange
ments
The committee have already been &C
lively at work, raising money, and fixing
up programme generally. We shall be
able to announce the whole arrangement
in our next
Meantime, however, let it be borne in
mind by our people, that there is to be an
imposing celebration in Ottawa. That
three military companies, at least, will be
out in full feather, two fire companies, the
Masons, Odd Fellows, &c, &c, and that
any former ovation of the kind in this
city is to be largely eclipsed

RArr AFFAiG-Sunday Pic-Nics may be
all right in Germany, and our German
friends here, who have never been trained
in the American ideas of the sanctty OF
the Sabbath. may not realize that there i
any impropriety in having parties III the
pleasant groves around our city on Sunday.
But it i, good rule, in Rome TO do as
Romans do They ought to show some
decent respect for public opinion in the
community 10y which they are surround
ed, and which certainly is outraged 10y the
Sunday pic-nics that have of late been in
vogue about Ottawa The feeling against
them has undoubtedly its origin not 30
much in the fact that our German fellow
citizens choose to ENJOY themselves in that
way, as in the other fact that many young
men and boys about Ottawa whose parents
and friends revere the Sabbath, steal off to
these gatherings, join largely in. drinking
Lager beer. and commit all sorts Of acts of
looSeness and disorder.
We are led into these remarks, particu-
LARRY by the occurrence on Sunday last
when lot Of mere boys, none Of them IS
years old. and some much younger, were
caught in the ACT Of attempting forcibly to
outrage young girl TT one Of these pic
mics Two of the boys have been arrested
and lodged in jail, indicted by the grand
jury. and are now awaiting their trial for
the outrage.
If our German friends must have their
Sunday pic7lics, we suggest at least that
they haze them by themselves, and, in par
ticular, keep Young America at a dis
lance. Il is no place for native boys or
young men, ana hereafter if any appear
on the ground we recommend that they
be horse-whipped home

ANOTHER MURDER CASE. - Some four
weeks ago a man named Thomas Murphy,
Che had formerly been in the employ of
John Armour in this city, got into an al
tercation on steamboat at La Sale, and
stabbed man named Ryan, in the groin.
Murphy was arrested and lodged in the
county Jail, and Ryan having no friends,
and his wound being dangerous, was taken
to the poor house. Murphy had been i'm
prisoned on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon; but few days ago Ryan
died from the effects of his wound, so
that Murphy is now held for murder His
trial will probably take place next week.
