The fourth went off in good STYLE
Ten thousand people were in and
around our city. A nice arbor on the
market square, excellent order, cannon
per programme, arrivals by train and
by wagon road, nicely dressed ladies,
good presiding officer, Hon. VIM. I.
Gilchrist; good reader, ID. D. Fraser
eloquent orator, Editor Leffingw ell Of
the News: fervent prayer by Rev. w.
Watkins; the band played splendidly,
and the singing was very nice. The
large wagon, carrying Washington,
the Goddess of Liberty and whole
flock Of beautiful girls represent'g the
States. Take it altogether the show
was a good one. The fireworks were
fair; the ball at the Cambrian decid-
ed success; No accident occurred that
we hear of. Gov. Merrill was with us
on the occasion. The fanastics on
horseback caused much merriment.
A. NJ. Goddard, foreman of the
TIMES received a dispatch from Lex
ington, ILL.,, dated July 9th, announc-

brother Edmond and requesting him
to come at once. He left US next
morning per train, and at 10 a. m. his
family were advised by telegraph,
TEdmond is dead" The deceased has
been long sick with consumption
We did not know the the departed one
but our sympathies are awake to the
pain of those left to battle with Life.
Prof. Perry notes us that Mr.. LAW

to publish handsome complim't from
his pen:
Although differing from the TINES
in politics / highly appreciate it and
deem it the best newspaper in this re-
gion.
Thank you, warmly, Professor.
