The Fourth,

The Fourth passed off in this place
with very little excitement. No formal
celebration being made, many of the peo-
PIE went to Hudson and Prescott. In the
afternoon a mammoth team was hitched
up and all of the yoang people left in town
took passage to the Falls, accompanied
with banners and music. After an hour
spent in receiving the Testimony of the
Rocks" and various other testimony, the
whole party returned to the FLINT HOUSE,
where they partook ofan excellent supper,
and spent the evening.
