Never did M ever glorious Fourth dawn more
ausp'ciously than TINT which on Wednesday
lust was aahered in with tho booming Of guns,
the changing Of bells, and every variety of jubi-
liant sound that the usagcs OF our time has come
to assoc'nte with the Anniversary of cur Ma
tionrl 1rdependence.
As our celebration in Chicago stands aljouru-
cd to next car, and We are all waiting for that,
the programme for "Wednesday last WAS brief
one, aud left erery one pretty much TO their
cwn deTices for working of that ardor Of patri-
otto zeal, the accumulation of twelyemonth.
Il was done however. and The day has gone.
a"ho'e il must be pronounced, in point Of
good order and general lprupriety on the par:
Of our public, eminent'y creditablc to Chicago.

alone, 1uil and heavy, down the lake shore pier
aud left many hundreds ut Cottage Grove aud
hyde Park for the day. All the thorougtfares
leading to our suburban haunts were th1oneed
With teams and vehicles Of all descriptions.
Never in short was city more entirely "out
for the day" ED charming were the meterolo-
gical influences fayoring the sa1pe. The sky
was clear aud the streets dustless from the
coplous showers of Tuesday night. The breeze
Was fresh, too fresh perhaps for some, who,
won bJ the charm Of lake trip, found the
steamers Cont and Globe ready, and ,hronved
their decks for excursions on:side. For these
the bosom Of the lake might have been more
placed, aud so an Improvement.
