IocAL ETCHINGs.-The particular pc
,;o5 Of time when the great and glorious
I'D Fourth of July occurs is rapidly ap-
nrOaching, and no arrangements that we
have heard of are being made to give it a
meet and fitting reception; and from pres
ant Indications, it will only differ from
other DAYS in that greater amount of vii
Isinous saltpetre will be burnt, and several
Gallons more of villainous tanglefoot drank,
than usual. Our patriotism is certainly
IN the wane-but it is not quite extin-
gushed All that is needed is somebody
10 stir up the dying embsrs, and they will
stir them up? Nobody, perhaps. In
view of this fact, let's have "miscellane-
GUS" celebration-let everybody resolve
himself into a committee of one to look
after the welfare of our common country,
for one day-let's have big dinner, some
biz speeches, and big time generally
ring the bells, call up the Brass Band, get
out the drums and flies, and if the editor
Of the Mountaaaeer is agreeable, procure
the services of the Calithumpians for the
occasion Hurrah for the Fourth of Jul y
