tlclpated IN by many, who went In on their
own hook and in their own way. The boys
in the morning commenced to FIRE off their
usual squibs, flags were displayed from the
shipping, and elsewhere, and the confec-

At about ii O'Clock, the ladies connected
with the Episcopal Church commenced
holding forth at the Park, on the North
side, where they dispensed ice cream, lem
onade, strawberries, and the good things of
life generally, to large and appreciative
assemblagc At 4 O'Clock in the evening
those assembled were addressed in neat
and appropriate manner by Mr.. S. B.

during the day, and their labors resulted in
the addition of nearly $3.50 towards the
building of a parsonage.

gave grand picnic on the Calumet road,
short distance from town, which was en-
livened by excellent music diseoursed by

the day to enjoy themselves with dance,
, and to ramble- through the nicely shaded
and cooling walks

private liberality, were sent up, after which
the season for dancing commenced. The
Turner'S Hall, WINDIATE's Hall, and
FRIcKEs Hall were crowded during the
night, and each md all of them were made
to resound to the patter of merry feet, and
which was kept up until daylight of the 9Th.
No accident, or other untoward event
happened during the day, and all enjoyed
themselves who wished so to do, without
pain or alloy.
Two PIvERs.-The people of this en-
terprising town had one of the best cele
brations we ever attended, and we ere glad
that it was our good fortune to be present.
At about clock in the morning people
began to flock in from the country, includ-
ing the towns of Two Creeks, NIishicott,
and Gibson, so that at 10 o'clock the large
Public Square was denscly thronged. A
procession was then formed by HENRY
CoURsHAINE, Esq. assisted by Messrs.
NEwcoMB and WosTER, which marched
through the several streets of the village
back to the starting point, in the following
order. Ist-Professor Wcinshenk's Brass
Band. 2d-Singing Society. 3d-School
Children attended by their teachers. 4th
Sons of Herman. 5th-Odd Fellows
6th-White Fish Society. 7th-Citizens
generally. The procession was large and
very orderly, and the music excellent.
On returning to the Public Square, Ed
WARD MILLER, ESD, President of the day,
called the large assemblage to order, when
Rev.. Mr.. WILSON delivered short and
appropriate address. The Declaration of
Independence was then read by H. H. !
SMITH, Esq, after which DR.. OSWALD
made few remarks in English, showing
that he can speak in that language as we'll
as in his native tongue. After some more
fine music, the crowd dispersed to dinner
AT o'clock, men, women, and children
were seen vending their way to the grove
little north of the village. Prof. VEIN.
sHENK's Band was also present, DR.. Os-
wALD acting as drummer, and capital
one he is The afternoon was spent in en-
joying the music of the Band, as we'll as
the singing of the Society, and the sports
and pleasures of the children. IF ever a
happy day was spent by the people of any
town the people of Two Rivers must take
the palm.
Through the kindness of DR.. OSWALD,
whose body is not large enough to con-
tain bis heart, a fine display of fire works
was made in the evening. Among the Gu
riosities were half dozen of balloons that
assembled in fine style.
Two Balls-one at BERGER S and one at
BoLDus'-closedt the enjoyments of the 4th.
Not being able to attend both, we were
ceaxed to the latter place, where pleasant
and agreeable company enjoyed themselves
until morning. Nothing marred the pleas
ures Of the dance, which was managed in
an admirable manner by Messrs JULIE
kAssoN and WILLIAM HENRY aid each one

kindly remembranccs of each other. When /
