The usual latter day Obscryances of
the Fourth of July We're had in Poult-
ney, viz: Young America kept Np the
swapping of firecrackers from morning
until night, the young men and maidens
took ride, the roWdiCs c0ngrcgated at
street corners and groceries, lying in
wait for something to drink, while most
of the industrious, sober and sedate of
our adult population were about their
business as usual. To this, however.
there was an exception, and we mention
it with pride ii four O'clock in the
afternoon Of the day a gOodly number
of our thoughtful citizens assembled on
the college grounds and proceeded to
render a very appropriate and fitting
observance OF this, the biathday OF free
dom. b. Frisbie was chosen president,
who invited DIR. Goadby to open the eX-
ercises of the occasion with prayer. At
ter PRAYER, "America' was sung by the
choir present, with fine effect Martin
d. Cole, Esq, read the Declaration of
independence, and then the choir sung
the Star Spanglcd Banner" The pres
ident then introduced the Rev. e. II.
Randall, rector of the Episcopal church,
who occupied some twenty minutes in a
very appropriate and very able address
William H. Poor introduced the fol
lowing sentiments: The Heroes Of '76
let us cherish their memory, and per
petuate their history"
This was very happily responded to
by Dea. J. JOslin. He remembered
many of the old heroes well. He re-
membered when, on Fourth of July cell
ebrations. they followed martial music
in procession with firm and untalter-
ing tread. As time moved ON, carriages
were provided to carry them in process
sion. As the years rolled around, the
carriages became less and less, until one
carriage would hold them all. Then
that one carriage was no longer needed
for that purpOsc-the last hero had de-
parted.
In the course of Deacon Joslin's re-
marks, he read extracts from the North
ern Spectator, published at Poultney,
under date of July 5, 1926. \ celebra-
ton was had in Poultney that year-he
attended it. There We're seventy of the
heroes Of rs present on that occasion.
The committee of arrangements consist
ed of twenty-nine. Of that twenty-nine,
Daniel Mallory, Henry Stanley, Harlow
Hosford and Merritt Clark survive, and
are supposed to be the only survivors.
Sentiments were offered by DR.. w
W. Hibbard Julius Pomeroy, of Brook
lyn, n. Y, and Others, and appropTi-
ately responded to by DR.. Goadby, DR.
Newman and others. For once, we
have seen, not a large collection or
crowd, but a sensible, patriotic and
rational observance of the Fourth Of
July. OBSERVER.

Flags ON the Fourth.

Only one of the editors of THE HER
AID was in Rutland, during the Fourth
of July. In Saturdays issue we gave
an account Of the occurrences of that
day as we observed them, and must in
sist that they were true in every partic-
ular, except in single instance to which
we will allude hereafter. Our duties
keeping us up until after three o'clock
in the morning, and requiring some sleep,
we, of course, did not see much of the
streets until soon after eleven o'clock,
that morning. "The only National flag
flying in the streets of Rutland" at that
time, certainly, and during the remain
der of the day, with the single excep-
ton hereinafter mentioned, was the
Grant and Wilson flag in front of THE
HERALD building, the Independent to
the contrary Notwithstanding. We,
certainly, were not, in the least, sur
prised to notice, as we did, that the
Greeley and Brown flag was hauled
down. We deemed it peculiarly APP
propriate and becoming that, on the an
niversary Of our National Independ-
ence, the victory at Gettysburg and
Vicksburgh, that flag should be kept
studiously out of sight One word in
reference to the language of the Eade-
pendent. Having adopted Horace Gree
ley, as its candidate for the Presidency,
how natural, how becoming and how
readily does it adopt and use his choice
and beautiful expressions, and talk
about ''lying.' How gentlemanly, too.
1t goes one step further, however, than
he used to, and at the same time tells
some truth in connection with this gen
tlemanly and cultured expression 1t
says, referring to the associate editor of
The HERALD, that he was ''neyer whip
ped for lying This is true, as he has
never been and is not now addicted to
t'at practice.
Now for the ameade honora5le. We
were not, during the Fourth. on the
street, on which is situated Landon &
Huntoon's store and, consequently, did
not see the Stars and Stripes, there dis
played. We are pleased to be informed
that their flag, on which are the names
Of "Grant and Wilson" was thrown to.

At 7:30 the Ethans and Seth Warner
left Montpelier amid the cheers of the
various other companies and the playing
Of the Queen City Band, which after
having 'lad over" every other visiting
band at Montpelier and doing three
fourths of the playing, footed dancing
tunes all the way home. Probably
noiser, jollier, better natured crowd

brought. and the generous welcome of

received viii long be remembered by
them.

whenever they visit other fremen.

Another Fourth of July accident
happened at the depot on Thursday.
The crazy structure termed a platform
gave way beneath the crowd, precipitat-
ing between twenty and thirty into the
water underneath. John Mallory, a lad
of fourteen years, had his LEG broken,
and several others were more or less in
iured. 1t appears that a young man
named Wing. was DESTROYS of having a
fistic tournament with another young
man. and an excited crowd, incident to
exhibitions, gathered tOWitncss the fight.
Being prevented then and there from fol
lowing up their resolves, they proposed
to seek freer field, and the swaying
throng sweeping across the tender plat
form, proved too much for its strength,
Cor weakness) and the pugilists, with
many OF the crowd were deferred from
further hostile demonstrations by the
sudden descent and consequent cooling
bath. The breaking of the boys Ice
above mentioned was the saddest part of
the accident, and furnishes a lesson to
many others to avoid crowds and COnfu-
sion wherein are found danger and dis
tress from unforeseen accidents.
The strawberry festival at the town
hall, Thursday eve. was lightly attended
on account of wet weather. The ar
engagements and refreshments We're first

most attractive smile and raiment also.

Two You've MEN KILLED AT GRAN
VILE, N. Y.-The hurricane on Wcdnes-
day evening, though brief in its dura-
ton, was terrific while it lasted. 1t
swept over the northern portion Of the
town of Granville, demolishing the coy
cred bridge known as Steel's bridge, crash
ing beneath its ruins and instantly killing
two young men, Baron De Kalb, son of
Jonathan De Kalb, wealthy farmer,
aged fourteen, and another named Shee-
han, aged seventeen. Another son of
Mr.. De Kalb was seriously if not fatally
injured. When the storm commenced
seven persons, including those just
named, and three or four teams, rcSorted
to the bridge for shelter. The wind sud
denly caught the structure, and lifting
it from its piers, carried it a distance Of
twenty feet. When it landed some of
the top beams fell upon the three young
men, killing the two instantly. They
had with them several cans filed with
milk wkieh they were carrying to the
cheese factory. The cans were not
tipped nor was the milk spilled, al
though every person in the bridge was
thrown down by the shQck when it
struck the ground.
