About o'clock the Light Guards turned
out and escorted Company D. to the depot en-
route for Norwalk. The Guards were accom-
panied by the Temperance Band, and pre-
sented fine appearance,
About o'clock the Cleveland Grays APP
peared upon parade, headed by Leland's
Band, and attracted much attention by their
soldierly bearing. They marched to the
dock of the Western Metropolis, on board
which large company embarked, number
ing from SOC to 1000 persons. The boat left
for Vermillion about 10 o'clock, but on ayriv-
ing there she could not land, owing to the
shallowness of the water. She accordingly
backed away, and gave her passengers a
long and delightful ride upon the lake, re-
turning to the city about 4 o'clock, The
Grays then paraded sgain and returned to
their armory.
The North Star and Ocean took out excur-
sion loads, the former taking full load to
Putin Bay, and the latter cruise upon the
lake.
At 10 o'clock the Father Mathew Temper
ance Society marched through the streets,
headed by the Temperance Band. On ac-
count of the extreme unpleasantness Of the
weather the previous night, the Toledo and
Alliance Societies were not present to join
| them. The procession marched 70 the COun-
ty Fairgrounds upon Rinsman street, where
the celebration took place. A bountiful din
ner was enjoyed, after which the Declaration
of independence was read by John ]. Kirk,

There was the usual amount of private
firing and glorifying by boys and patriotic
young men. Crackers, tOrpedOes, guns and
pistols were constantly startling timid PeO-
pie and horses by their explosions and re-
ports, and in the evening there were some
slight displays of rockets, roman candles,
&c. The town was lively in a small way,
but got over it easily.
. AT PAINRsvILLE.
The Painesville people determined to do
something in honor of the day, and arranged
for an excellent programme of public exer-
cises, which was carried out with spirit and
without accident A national salute was
fired at sunrise, waking everybody up to the
understanding that it was going to be
rainy day. The sun, however, came out in
good time, and through the afternoon the air
was intensely hot, the warm wind relieving
but little the oppressiveness.
At II o'clock procession was formed of
old soldiers, fire companies, masons and cit
izens, headed by Capt. Huntoon's Martial
Band, the Painesville Band also furnishing
music. CThis latter Band have Just furnish
| ed themselves with a set of new German
silver instruments at a cost of some $9OO.)
The corner stone of the Parmly House was
laid by the Masons, H. NJ. Stokes, Grand
Master, with appropriate ceremonies, and in
the presence of large concourse of people.
The Declaration of Independence was read
by Hon. B. Bissel, and brief, but very stir
ring and eloquent grafton delivered by Hon.

one of the best Fourth of July efforts we
ever heard, and was not of the stereotyped
glorifcatiOn style either, but hearty ma
tional discourse.
In the evening there was good display
of fireworks upon the Park, the brilliancy
of the moonlight somewhat paling their
beauty, but tending to draw out of doors a
very large crowd.
At Little Mountain, the annual grand ball
was the attraction, and many went out from
Painesville. These went, generally, how
ever, to look on and see their country cousins
disport themselves in the huge ball rooms
THAT at Stockings being one of the largest
in the state,) and all those who went there
to be lockers on in Venice, were amply re-
paid in an abundance Of unmidgated fun at
the comical features of the day. The dance
began at O'Clock, P. NJ, and was kept up
all the afternoon and night. There were
two hundred and fifty ball tickets (admitting
gentlemen and ladies' sold at o'clock, and
still the crowd rushed on. The house was
full, and the woods were full, and not a
chair or stool could be had for love or money.
It seemed that every farm house in a circle
of twOnty miles had representatives there of
''iellers" or "gals." The mercury was up to
800 and 900, but through all the sweltering
hours the mad youth danced on as if they
were paid by the number Ofsteps taken, and
the more uncomfortable they made them
selves, the better would they fulfil their
