TIE FoURrH OF JULY-This ever sacred
and venerated day, was observed in our town
by a suspension of all business, and by reli-
gious services in some of our churches.
The state of war which now exists in our
country, prevented the celebration of the day
as great National Sabbath, by the usual
ceremonies of reading the Declaration of In
dependence and grafton, but we doubt not
that every one appreciated the sufferings and
sacrifices made for us by our patriotic fore
fathers, and resolved TO emulate their noble
exartple. Indeed we had some little evidence
of this spirit in the beilicose disposition
esinced By some of our usually quiet and
peaceably- disposed citizens.
The day passed off, however, without
much bloodshed, and to-day (the 5th), once
more =" quiet reigns in Warsaw"
