admirably chosen 10 eu-rcsPOnd With the
impressive character Of the day. and the
solemn. holy and glorious events it CON-
memories. With DO covering overhead
but the foliage of the tall forest trees.
where the pure air of freedom could be
breathed in all its purity, with here and
there ray of sunlight streaming through
the arch above. blending cheerfulness with
the majestic solemnity of the temple of ma
.ure's adjoining, the patriotic men and wo.
men assembled to celebrate the glorious
deeds of their country's history. All ages
were represented, from tho grey-haired
man the beginning Of whose earthly pill
grimage extends back to nearly the epoch
we commemorate. but whose patriotic fires
ure not yet dimmed by Time; those in the
prime Of life, whose eyes frightened as
they rested upon the gorgeous flag of their
country, redeemed, and sanctiied anew
to the cause of liberty, to the lads and
lasses. with joy beaming from every fea-
ture as the lessons of freedom were in
stilled into their youthful minds.
The exercises of the day were opened
by prayer by Rev. Chas. Byles. The Ian
guage was fervid and impressive. The
Declaration of independence was then
read by Urban E. Hicks, Esq, after which
the Orator Of the day, M. Hubbard, was
introduced by the Marshall. The speaker
briefly reviewed the brighter pages in our
country's history, and paid glowing trib-
ute to the heroes whose names and deeds
have be en- crowned with imperishablc glory.
We have seldom listened to better ad-
dress upon like occasion. Attic conclu-
sion of the Grafton, procession was formed
which marched to the tables, where nearly
all the "good things" that give comfort
to the inner man, were arranged in profuse
abundance. If others appreciated the din
ner as we did, they were certainly more
than satisfied and retain lively sense of
the courtesy and hospitality Of the good
people of Black River. At the conclusion
of this important and certainly very pleas
ing feature of the days entertainment, the
people again assembled in the grove, and
listened TO few remarks, appropriate to
the occasion. by John g. Sparks, Esq.
who was called to the stand. At about 3
o'clock the exercises closed, and the peo-
pie dispersed for their respective homes.
A number Of the young people, We are
informed, assembled at Mr.. Shotwell's in
the evening and finished the day we cele-
brate" with dance. We regret that we
are unable to report this part Of the days
proceedings, but we doubt not it was
pleasant affair.
