The Fourth AT CoNNEAUT.-As previously
intimated we celebrated the 4th with our Oon-
neaut neighbors. OF course our readers expect
us to tell them how this celebration went Oh,
end give them our views and Impressions
Of Conueaut capacity, taste, and judgment
in giving effect to such an occasion. ln doing
this, we are happy to say, our testimony is such
as to make the benring Of 1t a very pleasant
task for as, nasmuch as it is the paying of a
well merited tribute to our neighbors, for the
manner of observing the day.
Two features of the celebration deserve
special attention-the general decorum that pre-
vailed, aud the general interest taken aud parti-
oipatiOn in the proceedings of the day. The
first may be accounted for by the foresight of
the citizens in securing the voluntary pledges
of the whisky shops to sell no Intoxicating
drinks until after given hour; and the second
by the normal simplicity and social geniality
of character, which, if not permanent virtue
OF the people, certainly got advantage of them
on this occasion and was one of the happiest
features of the days proceedings With Judge
WILDER for the president of the day D. PHIL-
lips, Esq, with his manly proportions, and dig
nifed bearing, as marshal, with the agency Of
the cultivated and warm hearted minister Rev.
ALvAN NASH, TO commend the whole to the re.
cognition and direction of heaven, and each one
in his appropriate place, helping along a COM
mon movement, the beautiful grove fitted up
for the oration, the excellent address, which
however we did not hear, by our fellow citizen
l.. s. SHERMAN,repete with instruction, free from
4th of July claptrap, and SO seasoned with care
ful conservatism, as to give no reasonable alarm
to the most devoted disciple of judicial rever-
ence the dinner at the fremont, creditabe in
its abundance and goodness, the display of the
fire companies and over and above all the fan
TASTES, or Plug Uglies, prominent in their gro
tesqueness, the fireworks, and as we are told
the cotilion party at the close, all and each in
its way, served to make the celebration one of
the most agreeable, we have attended.
After dinner, the following regular aud VOL
unteer Toasts were read-responses by the gun

Mr.. EDIToR:-l notice in your last paper
some remarks in regard to the recent equine ex-
hibition at East Ashtabula, 10 which it appears
that some gentlemen, very much to their own
annoyance, and the sympathiziug grief of their
friends, found themselves in bad company, in
Consequence of not being posted in regard to
the character of the performance. Now, whose
fault was it that they were not postedY
There had appeared in several numbers of the
Telegraph a notice of said equine exhibition,
framed tUordad apd CO., e,n4I 49,, scts.
