BS5- Mr.. J. Perry Elliott's pictures are
still in active demand, and the reason is
obvious, for when people are posted, they
will of course go where they can get the
best articles. Mr.. E. has had an extra run
this week, and still they come.
Remember that the only place where you
can get good picture for .Gfty cents, is AT
City Gallery, No. 40 Main street.

ACCIDENTS. NTs.-Considering he crowd there

reefs were filled, it is little remarkable

At Mr.. C. Babcocks residence, corner q
First and Oak streets, there was beautiful
Moorish arch of evergreens and flowers, sur
mounted by model of the ship " "Mayhow-
er." At Mr.. John Healys, on First street,
there was raised platform filled with little
children-one little boy attired in continent
al costume. A number of private houses
displayed various devices, but we cannot
further specify. The steam fire engine was
decorated by Mr.. Davis, the engineer, and
placed in front of the engine-house on the
route of the procession.
The line of march was thronged by eager
thousands, absorbed in the interest of the
display. The procession, as near as we can
calculate, reached distance of mile and
half 1t is estimated that there were
1000 persons in it.
The procession reached the Grove at IL
o'clock. The stand was about a quarter of
mile from the dinner table. Around the
edges were placed the banners and flags of
the various associations. In the center was
placed a -four barrel as a stand for the
speaker and dreader-embematic of the in
dustrial character of the celebration.
Soon after II o'clock the services COM
menced with grand medley-"Hail Column
bia and Yankee Doodle"-by three unit
ed Brass Bands, comprising thirty-one in
struments. Mr.. Victor Bisch then read the
Declaration of Independence in a full
round voice, and addressed a short original
speech to his brother mechanics. His manner
was impressive but the pronunciation, not
being in his native language, was of course
defective. His efforts were received with
applause.
The Crescent City Band then played
" Lafayettes March and Star Spangled
Banner" with their usual good effect.
The united Liederkranz and Maennerchor
Societies then sung three songs in German,
in excellent style-"a thousand hearts
and a thousand fames;" d" Freedom song"
and War song for Freedom"
The Indiana Band then performed a STIR
ring piece of music, after which Judge Con-
rad Baker delivered his oration. We have
no space to notice it in detail this morning,
but shall publish it soon. The theme was
fThe Freedom of Labor and the Patriotism
of Industry" The treatment of it was
original, and the orator spoke in a very
earnest and impressive manner. We hear
the effort unanimously praised. He vindi-
Gated triumphantly the dignity of Intellect
ual and Physical Labor
After music by the Evansville Band, the
audience proceeded to dinner. The tables,
containing 5000 feet of eating room, were
loaded with plentitude of substantial fare
There was plenty for all and many baskets
full left. After dinner the procession re-
formed, and marched to town, thence down
Second street to Division, and was dismiss
ed. Each trade then proceeded to its rem
devious under its captain, and there dis
persed.
The number of people in the Grove dur
ing the exercises, are variously estimated at
from 10000 to $4,000. About $4,000 we
should think would be near the correct fig |
ures. The woods were alive with moving
humanity. 1t was difficult to make just |
estimate of the number present.

! his wharf-boa and locomotive head light,
The public-spirited landlord of the Sixt
Hotel on Locust street had burning in his
house row of lights in each of the front
windows and a row around the balcony q.
He also had the American colors and two
German tri-colored revolutionary flags.
At the Gas Office, opposite, the legend
"July 4th, 1776," formed by gas jets,
shone on the front of the house, and
linked the present with the past Other
illuminations were made, but none as fine
as these that we know of.
In the evening the crowd rapidly dis
persed. Most of our visitors left, but some
stayed for the purpose of seeing more of our
town and its citizens. A fer, we regret to
say-bipeds of the male persuasion stayed
because they were so drunk that they
couldn't get away. On the whole, we
neversaw less drunkenness or misconduct in
so large crowd.
There was Theatrical performance at
Mozart Hall, which was crowded. The
performance passed off WELL There were
several private parties in town, and large
dacing party went down on the Autocrat,
with a string band. The boat grounded
just below Henderson, but the merry dan
GERS didn't mind so slighta mishap. " They
danced all night till broad daylight" and
in the morning the Fanny BuJliH passed
down and took off part of the Mt Vernon
people, which lightened the boat off. She
then went down to Mt. Vernon and return
ed last evening, with the Evansville excur-
sionists. They were the happiest but the
weariest lot of boys and girls that ever
went on a harmless frolic.
But two accidents occurred to mar the
pleasure of the day, that we heard Of A
lady was severely hurt, an account of which
we give elsewhere; and boy was run over
by a horse, but not much injured There
were probably a few fights, and there was a
couple Of robberies, but the law dealt with
such cases, and will vindicate its dignity.
So passed and ended the Fourth day of
July, 1860, in Evansville
Cur citizens can congratulate themselves
on the success of this celebration. The men
who got it up deserve the public praise It
was superior to any event of the kind that
ever transpired in this part of the country.
Indeed, few cities of double the size could
have excelled it. 1t was the praise of citi-
liens and strangers. The latter we think
were well satisfied. The affair forms the
best advertisement of Evansville she has
ever had. 1t will be worth thousands of
dollars to her business and it has stirred up
the public spirit of her people as nothing
else could have done
