INDEPENDENCE MISUNDERSTANDING NEWS.
SALISBURY, Mp., July 5th.--The anniversary of
our Nations birthday was celebrated yesterday
in an appropriate manner by the Salisbury
I.yceum. The exercises were held ip the park,
and consisted OF the reading Of the Declaration
of Independence, an dratioI, d defamation. and
music by the Salisbury Brass Band. After the
literary exercises were over, croquet and other
amusements were engaged in, and every one
seemed iutent on having good time. In the
evening the band were again in the park and our
citizens were there en- nadsse giving themselves
up to social enjoyment. Great credit is due to
the Lyceum and the band for giving us the most
pleasant entertainment which our town has
enjoyed for number of years.
Our City Fathers have had number Of large
lamps placed in the park and the band will con-
time to give weekly concerts there dtiring the
