THE FOURTH OF JULY.

Our town was very quiet on last Thursday, the
4th. Although the stores and shops were kept
open there comparatively no business trans
acted. A large number of our citizens ayalled
themselves Of the opportunity to breathe the
mountain air by going to Goshen with the Au-
gusta Fire Company, who. according to previous
announcement, made picnic excursion to that
place Early in the morning large crowd OF
ladies and gentlemen were assembled at the De-
pot prepared to take the train and participate IN
the festivities and amusements of the day. AT
six clock, the train, consisting of three passen
ger cars and two flats, was crowded with joyous
and happy party of ladies and gents, and the con-
ductor giving the command-"all aboard P'-the
engineer pulled the string-"toot! tootl P'-and
off we went feeling joyous and happy-'free
from every care" In few minutes we came to
q stand still at Swoope's Depot, where we remains
ed for about half an hour, waiting the arrival OF
the passenger train from the West During our
stay here, some of our party, who had been too
slow to get breakfast before they left Staunton,
went into the house of our friend Mr. Dull, the
agent at Swoope's Depot, where, through the
kindness of the accommodating hostess. cup OF
hot coffee and other nice eatables were served,
much to the enjoyment and satisfaction OF all who
partook of Mrs. DIS hospitality.
The passenger train arriving and passing on to
staunton, we were soon switched on to the
main track and in a few minutes we found our
selves
"Whizzing through the mountain,
BuZzing O. er the vale,
Bless me this is pleasant
Riding on rail"
Especially is it pleasant when in company with
jolly crowd and seated in close proximity to a
pretty girl.
We arrived at Goshen at an early hour in the
day, and the crowd was soon divided off into diff
ferent parties, each choosing for themselves the
kind of amusement they wished to engage in A
large number went to dancing, some went fishing,
some rolled ten-pins, some went to swinging,
singing, and others rambled about the country,
''O'er the hills and far away"

THE WHEAT CROP in this county is supposed
by some persons to be much larger this year than
it ever has been. We hope it is and that all the
farmers may get rich this year. pay their subscrip
ton to the Spectator and induce all their neigh
bors to subscribe. A good crop this year will
greatly relieve the tightness of the times and en-
able all to pay their debts and distribute to the
poor and suffering in other localities where there
is comparatively no crop. The Valley of Vir-
ginia, and Augusta county especially, is pecu-
liarly favored section and our people should feel
high degree of gratitude to the Great Ruler for
the many blessings we enjoy, ofwhich many 9TH
ers in less favored localities, are deprived.
