CITY INTELLlGENOE,
FOURTH OF JULY-How II WILL DE Or
sERvED.-Although there will be no special pub
lie observance of the Fourth of July, yet the
day will, no doubt, be celebrated in and out of
the city, in q private way, with much ecldt.
| There is to be parade of the Jack tars belong
ing to the several Bockading squadrons, a num-
Der of flag-raisngs, cricket Matches and railroad
and steamboat excursions, while at Gettysburg
the great anniversary of this far famed battle
field will be observed with appropriate cere-
monies.
| The Juveniles will, no doubt, despite all law
| pop their crackers whenever and wherever they
can evade the vigilance of the lynx-eyed officers
of the laws, and not until the "wee sma hours of
| the 9th will the atmosphere cease to be ladened
| with the fumes of villanOus saltpetre Those
| returned veteran regiments now In our midst
! will again, in imagination, revisit the bloody
1 field of Gettysburg, and tell TO their wives and
| little ones how, on certain Fourth of July,
| brave Pennsylvania troops drove the Rebel in
vader from the soil of our noble State and in
sured to her citizens that peace and security
| which, for so many years past, they had enjoyed.
To others, thOugh-to widowed wives and
iatherless children-the memory of this day will
again force open the food gates of the heart, and
tears of sorrow will again course down the cheeks
| that long since have lost the bloom of health,
| because of the untimey death of the loved one.
Thus will the day bring joy and sorrow alike
| to all.
Let us not on this sacred day forget our brethren
| in the field There are husbands fathers,
| sons, and brothers, who, in the face of disease
and death, detantly raise their muskets and
| clash their swords in the very face of the
| Rebel foe.
Let us renew our oaths to stand by them to
| the bitter end; to give them our prayers, our
money, and even our lives, should the call be
made upon us for this sacrifice. Thus, in spirit
of true patriotism will we celebrate the of our
second National Independence, and thus hasten
the millennium when there shall be no more wars,
