The Committee haveheeri SO fortunate
AZ to secure the services Of Col. J. p.
Sanford rs Orator Of the Day. The COL
onel's reputation rs a populsr speaker is
too wide for 1t to he necessary that we
should say anything concerning his
ability to acceptabiy all his POSITION
We will say, however, that the Colonel
does not give US careless extemporan-
eous talk, we'll as he is able to do in that
way but that he will bring US all ora
ton carefully prepared for this occasion
-one to which all will find pleasure in
listening.
The Committee have decided to hold
the exercises in the beautiful grove i'm.
mediately adjoining town on the east.
1t is u part OF the ground formerly used
by the Agricultural Society, is only five
minutes walk from the court house, aud
sais able In every respect for the desired
purpose. A commodious platform Will
be erected for the speakers, glee club
and brass and martial bands aud COM
Portable seats in the shade will be pro-
vided for the audience. An unlimited
supply Of ice water will be kept upon
the grounds for the benefit Of the public.
Beyond this, in the way Of refresh ments,
each one will Look out for himself,
which is the only way to insure being

At the meeting ON Tuesday evening
last, the following persons were appoint
ed as Alarshals Of the Day; Wni.s.F Fra
seur, b. l.. Tower, X. Swartzlantler and
J. Il. Taylor. Committees were also APP
pointed for each OF the divisions that
were made in the labor of preparation,
including committee to make pro-
gramme for the exercises of the day,
which will probably appear in this issue.
At present, we are no farther inform
ed as to the order Of exercises than that
the ringing of all the bells and firing a
national salute OF thirty-eight guns,
will come off early In the morn
ing. The whangdoodIe parade will he
one feature Of the days proceedings; and
great interest is manifested on all sides
to see some Of the distinguished stran.
gers who are to take part therein. i
Everything indicates that, the wealth
er being favorable, there will be a huge
crowd and a good time and every body
aud the rest of mankind is invited to
come here on the 3rd, join the former
and enjoy the latter.
TAXPAYERS will do we'll to notice
and act upon the call for all tax receipts
for taxes paid OH property that was AZ
forwards enormously returned or sold as
delinquent, which is made BY Messrs.
Sharp & Van Ness, special committee
from the Board of Supervisors, and pub
lished in another column Of this paper.
This committee is the result Of most
commendable effort Oh the part Of the
Board to correct and straighten up the
records of the Treasurcr's office, into
which it seems Il number Of mistakes,
large in the aggregate, have crept either
through fault in the system of keeping,
or inalvertancc or careiessness in the
officers who have kept them. The
committee desire that any one having
such receipts as they describe shall hand
them to the Supervisor from the hold
ers township, whence they will pass
into the hands Of the committee.
