To the Editor Of tbs Chronicle =
SIR Il beg to express my regret at not
being able to spend the Fourth with you
in Dodgevile. | came as far as Plattevllle
and expected the nine o'clock train would
bring me on to the Point in time, when. to
my utter dismay, l found could not ar
rive there until twelve at night. Howev-
err as you were disappointed, promise to
give the lecture at some other time only
mention the time and give me due notice.
The Fourth has considerable interest to
me, although true Briton. 1t was on
the Fourth I, arrived on this continent
first three years from that day left the
States for Canada, where | spent ten hap
py years singing of her history, scenery
valour and genius. In return for he
goodness in giving me one of her tines
and lovellest daughters to wife. we wer
married eight years ago, on the Fourth o
July, and therefore felt the more disap
ointed at not spending the day with yo'
and my family in Dodgeville.

The Fourth at Arena.

Fairly on the morning of the 18th of
July, we, in company with others from
DoigeviIle, started for Arena The
morning was pleasant, the roads good
the company bright and sharp, and al
together the journey was enjoyable.
By the forethought Of one Of oul com
apany rooms bad been prepared, so that
when we arrived there was no hustle
or confusion.
We have not space to occupy, or
time to enter into details; suffice it to
say, the Fourth passed off splendidly
at Arena. Great credit is due to the
officers of the day. Everything was
done in perfect order The choir was
one of the best we have heard. The
Avoca Brass Band did good service
through the day. Rev. Mr.. Overton
delivered a splendid grafton, though
there was considerable noise and con
fusion outside the pavilion, so that he
could not be heard very distinctly
The advertised reader failed to connect
aud NJ, j. Briggs, of Dodgeville, Gone
Of our party was chosen to fill the
Office Of reading the Declaration of In.
dependence He filled the place with
credit to himself, and the place he rep
resented.
The dinner was conducted in the
most approved Fourth of July style
under the direction and supervision OF
friend John DeBoos, who provided ev-
erything eatable that could be obtained
In the afternoon there was match
game of Base Ball played in which
there was some excellent playing done
on both sides. The Raga Mullins play
ed an important part in the afternoon
creating a great amount of fun and
frolic. The evening was devoted to
fireworks and dancing, all Of which
was frst-class and went off we'll.
We left the balance of the party and
took flying trip by rail, to the beauti-
full village of Spring Green, where we
met many friends who gave US many
hearty shakes of the hand. Rev. Fl
j. Walker showed us through their
new and handsome church, which will
be credit to the place when finished
We returned to Arena at midnight
and found our company still in the
mazes of the dance And thus passed
off the only Fourth of July that the
village of Arena ever had, and one o
the best celebrations we ever attended
Credit is due to every one connected
with the getting up of the celebration
Many incidents occurred that VT
would like to mention, but space AM
time forbid.

gg% I fancy the praises of life In the
country have been sounded rather more
loudly, and with a more evenly sustained
power of execution, than the facts warrant.
To thoroughly enjoy country life one
must be something of savage, with a
savage's simple wants, and something OF a
god, with a gods means of satisfying such
as he has. But we can none of us be saw
age in taste, and godlike in resource, at
one and the same time: there are sure to
creep in certain refined longings which it
is beyond our power to crafty; and as, in
the country, one must necessarily pass a
merely subjective existence, he is certain
TO brood upon his priVations until he
matches out callow discomfort, which will
in time grow into stalking hypochondria.
1t is, of course. very delightful to be alone
with Nature; but it is, at best, but sci.
fish pleasure to sit upon rock and smash
the pinching ants, clammy worms, and
singing bugs which come to dispute your
empire. And they will come if they be
not indigenous, you viii have brought then
from the city, labeled, " Assert
ed remorses." For my part, I confess thai
/ can not honestly enjoy rural meditation
on account of these infesting anHoyances
which begin to leave me the moment
snuff city air. 1t is natural to cenclud
that it is the same with every one; and tn
remedy is obvious. God made the coun
try, and man made the town." One like
to live in a house he has builded himself

- The Galena Gazette says, "4that a
project is on foot to build railroad from
Galena to Muscoda, on the Wisconsin riv :
er. and the Milwaukee and st. Paul rail
road. Muscoda is exactly north of Gale
ma, and by straight line, fifty-two miles
distant. The advantage of a connection
with the lumber country of the Wiscon-
sin, and comparatively direct communi-
cation with Milwaukee and st. Paul, will
be appreciated by our readers. Whether
this road will soon he built or not is not
now certain; but it is being contemplated
in good faith, and that too by practical
railroad men and capitalists"

g@g" The festival arranged 10y the La
dies of the p. NJ Church, came off on the
afternoon and evening of the Fourth in the
old church in the rear of the new.
The tables were spread with every
Ielicacy one could wish, and the
,nnumerabe contrivanccs for entrap-
an eye to ornament, in various parts OF
the room. The singing by the Choir was
excellenlsy rendered, and was worthy of
much applause. There was good atten-
dance, and all seemed to enjoy themselves,
both old and young. Thcrectipts Of the
evening amounted to about So.

faithful and intelligent daughter, a fine
type of the freedom of American genius,
with the Goddess of Liberty pouring the
light of intelligence in the mind, freedom
in the conscience and purity in the bosom.
