FIREwoRKs.-The business Of discharging
fireworks on the Fourth was confined al
most exclusively to the urchins, as the sta
tistics of the sales at Charlie Wagner's, the
arsenal for Chinese artillery, evince. He sold
to juveniles $l4S worth of fire works, and
to adults $40 worth, a reversal of the sta
tistics of former years, which shows, how
ever, that the crop of patriotic boys is as
large this year as ever.

CELEBRATION OF THE FoURTH.-The an
niversary of the nations birth was observ-
ed in this city by pretty general suspen-
sion of business, and the adjournment of
its population to the parks and neighboring
groves. There were no public demonstra-
tions of any kind. The pic MICS at Stew
arts Grove and GoodaIe Park were attend
cd by vast multitudes of both sexes. Ex-
cept fight or two between different par
ties of rowdies at the former place, there
were no disturbances worth mentioning
during the day. Thejuveniles in town de-
voted themselves, patriotically and enthu-
siastically, to the explosion Of fireworks,
and in this respect the city was not unlike
aChinese town in State of siege. Taken
all in all, Independence day in Columbus
was avery quiet orderly and pleasant hol-
iday. y ,'ir.n.a 2m NuT'l sa7 ,lSi
