1HE FIRE WORKS.-On the evening
of the Fourth of July, we are in
formed that there viii be the grandest
display of fireworks in the city that
has ever been witnessed in the South
part Of the State. Yesterday morning,
a gentleman who is well acquainted
with the various kinds Of such arti-
cles, left for Cincinnati TO make the
purchase. The works will be got up
at a heavy cost, and will be truly mag
nifcent That alone will pay for a
visit to the city, as they will be of
different character from any ever wit
messed in the. city. The City Council
donated FIVE hundred dollars for that
purposes and we are1told that almost
an equal, amount has been added
Eby private contributions. The place
for the exhibition wiz be selected so
as to aceemmstlate the greatest Rpm-
bers While It Is the intention to
make the celebration an Appropriate
one, rejecting credit on the patriotism
of .odrlpeople > the greatuoBject7 is to
raise. as much money on that day as
possible to be used in the erection of
a monument to the memory of de-
ceased soldiers and sailors. We are
requested to state that full police
force viii be in attendance, to prevent
any disorderly conduct on the grounds

The celebration is to take place
in the South Park. at the Crescent
City Springs, but to accommodate all,

dancing hall in. the North Park has
been rendered the Soldiers Commit

been provided Therefore, those who
wish to do SO can repair to that Park
and enjoy a. dance, while those who do
not wish to do so, can remain IN the
South Park without being in theleast
interrupted by the dancing. it being
separated by two high board fences
from the ground where the celebration
willsbe held and the speeches made.
