LOCAL. MATTERS.
Celebration of the 18th In Ottawa.

The committee of arrangements, into
whose hands the whole matter of arran-
ging for the celebration of the 4th in this
city was committed, inform US that they
have been met by most liberal spirit on
the part of the citizens in the way OF con-
tributions of money, &c, and that they
are sanguine of being able to get up such
a celebration as our city has never seen
equalled.
The programme has been SO far perfect
ed, that the committee are able to an
nounce the following as the leading fea-
lures Of the days advertisements.
l. A salute of Is guns at sunrise, under
the management of the Ottawa Artillery
Corps.
2. A grand procession, to be organized
at l04 clock A. NJ, consisting of military
companies, civic societies, soldiers Of lsl2,
&c, &c, led by bands of music. The pro
cession will proceed to grove contiguous
to the city, not yet definitely selected !;
where the exercises will be.
3. Reading the Declaration.
Grafton.
Music-vocal and instrumental.
4. Target shooting by the Artillery.
5. Grand wheelbarrow and sack racel
With other amusements
6. After the return of the procession
there will be grand dress parade of the
Ottawa Invincibles,-the most comical, fe-
rocious, grotesque looking corps that can
be conceived A similar company from
abroad is expected to unite with the Otta-
wa company on the occasion.
!. salute of So guns at sunset.
s. In the evening there will be a nlagui-
mittee are confident that this last feature
will be far superior to anything of the
kind ever before witnessed in Ottawa
Both in amount and superiority in kind,
they have been most successful in prOcu-
ring material for this display.
The above, of course, only embraces the
programme for the day in the rough. We
shall be able to announce the particulars
in detail in our next Printed program
mes, announcing all the details, will also
be circulated among the people on the
morning of the 4th. 1t must suffice to
say, for the present, that The work is going
on swimmingly, and that there is a full de
/ termination that no expense or labor shall
be spared TO make this the grandest cele,
bration that has ever taken place in OF

make better papers is your fault. not theirs.
They come to you with the talent, the in

and it is only your mean refusal to support
those high qualities, that you can ever gain
OR ever have gained-the opportunity to
traduce them.
The preceding, changed to suit this lati-

seem never to reflect about their own news
papers. They rely upon them to do all the
drudgery-publish calls for caucuses and
conventions-proceedings Of caucuses and
Observation-Disclosures the tickets-puff the
candidates-print tickets without pay, and
do all little local jobs Of advertising -sgri-

thousand and one such things, anil yet

decent support to them, that they could do
just as we'll without ther,. We have

"Yes," said the boy, Il was sixteen some
time ago, and father let me come to his table
but there was dish for dinner that l was
very fond Of, ard instead of being helped l
undertook to help myself. and reaching so
far met with an accident, and so he set me
back two years."
A writer in the Chicago Press thus speaks
Of a visit to one Of the great packing-houses
Of the West: "Ihe foreman took US all over
the premises. We saw everything. He was
a good-natured Scotchman, and full Of de-
sire to put US through in good shape" We
went to where the men were killing the hogs
at the rate Of ten or dozen in as many min
utes, frs, BY knocking them down with a
sledge, then sticking them. We looked on
for a minute or two, when he burst out,
Wouldn't We like to knock down hog or
two yourself?' We declined the invitation,
having no personal animosi,y against the
hogs. But it was courteous in the foreman,

Of pigs-a poor helpless little creature-who

These instances might be multiplied to a con-

fact will prove the existence Of combined

LITERARY APpRECIA11oN-An American
gentleman relates, after leaving paper of
which he was the editor, and returning on a
visit, he wrote leader for the new editor
and he really thought it good-tetter than
he had written for months before. Next day
he met an old acquaintance with a paper i'll
his hand. "Ah," said he, this paper is but
miserable thing now-nothing like what i,
was when you had it, and pointing to the
article he had written. he continued, Look
for instance, at that thing. Who would read
such stuff? Why didn't the fool let you

they were permitted to eat with the Older
members of the family. On one occasion q
visitor who was aware of the custom observ'
ed one of the boys who he thought was of
the re quisite age, eating at side table, and
