The Fourth.-The Fourth" is
Just upon US, and with it will come pow
der, cannon, banners, fire-crackers, speech
'ea, toasts, brass bands, dinners, balls, sab
hath school celebrations, military parades,
picnic parties and whole loads of people
from the rural districts and the day will
be chock full of patriotism, whiskey, fun,
dirt, glory, and buzzas for the American
Eagle.
1t is expected that on this day, orators
and editors especially will be magniloquent,
patriotic and wise, and puff Uncle Sam
and the ''Stars & Stripes to the best of
their separate abilities. We shall decline
the task, and just modestly state that we
regard Mr.. George Washington as very
fine man; ditto, Messrs. John Adams,
Thomas Jefferson and some others. We
think our forefathers did very excellent
thing in achieving liberty for themselves
and their posterity, and said posterlty will
do an excellent thing if it maintains invi-
olate those principles and those liberties
purchased at so great & cost.
The coming Fourth will be very gen
orally celebrated throughout the state. In
this town we know of nothing unusual.
There will be an Independence Ball at E.
A. GLovERs, in the town of Troy. In
Hudson large preparations are being made
to celebrate the day in fitting style. We
believe there is to be celebration at Has
tings, in which the people Of Prescott, PIT.
Douglas and Alton will unite. Taylor's
and ST Croix Falls, also unite in cele-
braton at the latter place. There will
also lie Il celebration at Star Prairie, on
the South Fork of Willow river. We
understand that tho Sabbath schools of
Prescott. Alton aud Hudson VIII unite in
celebration, and have steamboat ex-
t.ursiuu on the Lake.
