THE FOURTH OF JULY.
How the Day was Observed.

New YORK, July 5.-The glorious
Fourth seems to have been celebrated
with enthusiasm throughout the coun-
try. Business was generally suspended
in all the larger cities, and the day was
almost universally observed as a holi-
day. National salutes were fired at all
the military posts and In most Of the
principle cities there were professions,
with music, national fire. works, &c.
In this city the day was not uncom-
fortably warm, but the weather was un-
pleasantly threatening. Thousands OF
our citizens escaped from the noise and
confusion into the rural districts, while
their places were filled by swarms from
the country. The parade of the military
and the Tammany celebration and the
grand pyrotechnic displays at the parks
were all successes. The city is unu-
sually orderly. The police had but little
trouble, and good nature and hilarity
seemed to prevail.
In Washington there was a national
salute, but no celebration.
In Richmond, Va, the Fourth was
celebrated for the first time since the
war by general suspension of bust
ness, a grand pythian tournament, and
other festivities, ending with fire works.
The colored people only paraded in
Augusta, Georgia.
In Philadelphia the day passed off
quietly. There was the usual number
OF small fires and minor accidents from
firearms. The platform in Penn
Square broke down, slightly injuring
eight or ten people.

the city on excursions to various places,
and the city was illuminated with the
usual display Of fireworks in the even
ing.
At the city Of Buffalo there was
heavy rain storm set in early in the
morning and continued throughout the
day, preventing intended outdoor cele-
brations. The regatta was postponed
until Thursday. The Mckee Boat
club, of Pittsburgh, the Tynning Boat
club, of Toronto, and the Peerless, Of
Rochester, agreed to wait over and take
part in the contest 10 come off at
Poughkeepsie. There was an enthusi-
astic celebration and entertainment Of
