few instances.

The 4fa al Ellsworth

Mr.. EDITOR Under the principal
auspices of the Good Templars, our na
tioaaI holiday was duly observed at the
County Seat. Prof. WELD, of st.
Croix. was orator; and the main theme
of bis address was home. Anecdotes
and illustrate ons were appropriately cited
aud happily applied TO enforce upon his
audience The Importance Of making homo
an earthly paradise; one of the virtues of
which should be temperance. In COM
menting upon this subject. no otense
could be taken at his remarks, rs the wri-
ter hereof is perhaps as sen sitive on This
topic as any one of his auditors. The
coppcrhead filings. also, were SO modcstly
thrown, that presume no one was hurt.
In closing up. however. the Prof. was
less on his guard, wherein tho taking of
Richmond was alluded to, and coward
ice imputed on a certain occasion. With
others, he NAV honestly, think. that a
general at the head of the American ar
nv, could be of such a character.
A choir of singers, from River Falls,
honored us by their attendance. and sang
songs fitting the occasion in an animated
and harmonious manner, TO the astonish-
ment of many young natives, as well as
TO the admiration of their parents and
the assembly generally.
President Mason was called upon to
put vote of thanks to the orator aud
choir for their kindness on the OCCASION,
which he did in a novel but becoming
manner, and which was unanimou ,ly
rendered.
Marshal AMEs then announced din
ner, publicly prepared for every one pres.
ent. aud to which Lo esco rted the assem-
bled tlrong.
In the evening. dance was had 10y
tho young people. ut the court house.
Ellsworth never had larger, happier,
or gayer assembly than was congregated
there from Riser Falls, Oak Grove, Trim
belle, HartlsnI. and other neighboring
towns, on the 4lh of July, 1854. D.

The 4th at River Falls.

Ed. JoURYAL:-The anniversary of
our National Independence was observ-
cd at this place in very pleasant aud
quiet manner.
The Sabbath Schools assembled III
tie afternoon at the Cong. Church. TO
enjoy Floral Festival, aud brought to
Rev. WM. GILL about $50 beautiful bo-
oue;s, FOR which they received five cents
each, besides premiums for some of the
choicest ores. These, together with the
hundreds of va,ds of wIeaths. festoons
and borders. were arranged in manner
very creditable 10 the taste of those WHO
had the matter in charge.
Never was temple Of the Author Of
Liberty more appropriately used, than
when it thus served as an altar upon
which to offer, rs incense, the gratitude
of fee people for the blessings of lib
erty-at which TO recall the struggle it
cost to establish, and consider the more
terrible combat now being waged to
MAINTAIN our beloved institutions, and re-
new our purpose to transmit them unim-
paired 10 our children.
a portion ofthe afternoon was occu-
pied in speaking by the children and
young ladies Of the school, interspersed
with singing by juvenile classts, aud n
RHmber of excellent pieces by the choir;
after which the commissary department
dispensed abundant rations, the quality
Of which was altogether satisfactory.
The children dispersed in fine spirits,
especially over the closing exercises, and
their financial operations.
The evening entertainment was pro
vided by the ladies to raise funds for re-
pairing the church, and was similar to
that of tho afternoon. The GIee Club
had returned from the County Seat in
time to contribute to the enjoyment of
the evening. Several tabIeaux were well
executed. Many performances deserve
special mention; among them the chant
ing ofthe Lords Prayer by class of
Misses in style which would do honor
to any class. in any town or city.
The most of tho time, however,, was
occupied in social conversation, and dis
posing Of ice ere am and lemonade, the
latter being supplied from jacobs We'll,
by a patriarchal old gentleman LOT
MoFFArT, of ST. Paul. and fair lady,
who might havo been readily taken as
the original pair. If the well of ancient
days was rs well favored it IS no marvel
that it was so highly priced.
To close the entertainment, and COM
bine utility with pleasure, Jacob sold the
boqucts Of the afternoon at auction. and
tho receipts of the day were found to be
nearly eighty dollars.
Hoping that the next Fourth of July
may not be desecrated by the uplifted
hand Of treason,

Steamboatiug has been rather small
business on the Upper Mississippi for
some weeks past. The g. H. Gray has
pied between ST. Paul and Prescott,
sometimes going below here, carrying
the mails and passengers of both lines,
aud connecting with The Mankato, which
runs to Beef Slough, or such point as
she might meet the large boat.
We learn that threa light draught
boats will soon be pm. on, which will run
through from St. Paul to La Crosse
We hopo this may be done, and thus
avoid the frequent and vexatious chan
ges now made. 1t is rough time for
steamboatmen, and they are excusable if
they rival our soldiers in the desperate
nature of their charges.
