The Fourth was celebrated by our citi-
zens in manner more appropriate TO the
weather than common to the occasion
About 100 aVailed themselves ofthe opportu-
nifty afforded by special train at one-iourth
the usual fare, to visit Springfield Mass,
while the celebration at Putney drew 9TH
ers, but by far the larger number of people
stayed at home fighting the heat, in which
laudable warfare every available weapon
was brought into requisition. "a few, we
fear, in their utter desperation, employed
weapons of liquid nature the effect of
which, was not so much to quench the over
poWerlnP neat as 10 lnpart n description OF
patriotism" more ardent than praise
worthy.) The full moon put to shame all
attempts Mt fire works in the evening; and
altogether the 4th of July, 1863, in Brattle-
boro, was day of rest and quiet enjoyment
rather than glortication, wastefu expendi-
ture and flash patriotism.
