at this place, on the 4th will be the grandest af-
fair Of any that has YET taken place In central
PENNSYLVANIA. Those who have had the matter
In charge, have made the most complete ar
rangements to make 1t great success. The
parade of the different Organizations will pro-
baby exceed anything OF the kind that has ever
occurred outside of the cities. We learn that all
along the line of the five different railroads cen
tering here, the invitations from the different
orders and organizations have been accepted and
the most extensive preparations arc being made
to have full turn out of members. Besides the
civic orders and military, some six or eight fire
companies from abroad, fully equipped, and ac-
companed by bands, have already completed
their arrangements to participate. Excursion
tickets on all the railroads to this place will be
issued, and extra trains run over the roads to
accommodate all who desire to witness this grand
display.
The order of exercises on this occasion will be
Of the most interesting, as many of the oldest
citizens who formerly resided here will be pre-
sent and join in a grand reunion. The Hon. A.
Jordan, one of our oldest citizens, and widely
and 1avorably known throughout the State, has
been selected as the orator of the day. The Hon.
days in this place, will positively be present, and
once more address his early comrades and asso-
ciates. Other prominent speakers have been Sc
lected, who will give 4 complete history OF this
town from 1772 to the present time.
Prof. Light, who will make balloon ascen-
sion, is already in town making the necessary
preparations, and arranging his balloon to make
the ascension n success.
