TIE FoURTH.-Our National birthday
passed over very quietly in this place. In
fact had it not been for a few fire crackers
set off by the children, stranger would
have imagined that he was enjoying quiet
Sabbath in a small village, instead of spen-
ding the Fourth of July in a usually
live and stirring county seat, with a railroad
terminating within its limits. Such state
of affairs should net be tolerated, as it has
a tendency 20 obscure and hide from public
attention our beautiful and thriving borough.
A live people should use every means at
their disposal tc advance the interests and
Importance of their town, and to enhance
the value CT their property. Instead of go
ing from home on the Fourth of July, and
other great holidays, spending hundreds Of
dollars in building up the business of other
places, they should get up demonstrations
at home and draw people hither to spend
their money, and thus advance our own town
and industries instead of those of our neigh
bors Charity, it is said, begins at home.
Then, in the future, let US heed this maxim.
When another holiday, or Fourth of July
comes round, let US get up a demonstration
worthy the Importance of our borough and
the Eberality and spirit of our people. So

of our having published an item concerning

goods slowed away in a couple of wagons,
passed through our streets on his way from

cr, that John is about the only man on the
face of the earth who has not heard Of the
old adage that because man couldn't
make an independent fortune TAT one grasp
at one place, he removes to another place to
make an independent Stdrcatj0n, aud he
accordingly accuses US of casting "a sneer

about the only case o. starvation he knows
Of in Karthaus Is the JOURNAL itself.
Why does he sneak around aud pick the

FALSE ALAEM-On Monday evening,
July Sd, an alarm of fire was given in our
streets, and soon all our citizens were on the
run. Upon nearing the locality designated
West Ciearfed) il was discovered that the
burning of large lot of stunps on the Park
grounds gave rise to the alarm. A temper
ance meeting was in progress, in the Court
House, when the alarm was given, which
suddenly adjourned, and without any cere-
mony. The lecturer, however, resumed OPP
Grafton after the discovery that no damage
was apprehended from the fire. Persons
should be very careful in giving alarms of
fire, as false alarm has tendency to make
people indifferent to the cry of fire, even
when there is reality in it, and much val
uab.e property endangered.
