The Fourth of july.

SCRRY.-The celebration of the Fourth in
this town was gotten up, mostly under the
supervision of the ladies. The object in
view, besides appropriately observing the
day, was to raise fund for public object.

house, and the dinner in the new house be-
ing erected by the Baptists. The celebration
passed off ereditably and, we should judge,
satisfactorily. No accident, nor incident oc-

We thought there was a large collection OF
people, for so small a village, and consider

Immediate vicinity where the day was being

The speaker evidently has no sympathy with
privileged classes Of any kind. He urged
the people to rally for the Union ami around

space to dwell on tie several points Of the
address. Suffice it to say, that it was Eatri-
otie, well considered and timely.
The ladies were an fat in their depart
