FUNERAL OF DIR. RoBINsoN.-The obsequies
of the late DIR. William c. Robinson took place
at the family reside nce, No. 26O Congress
street, at O'Clock yesterday afternoon. There
was very large concourse of citizens present,
including nearly all the physicians of the city
and many Of the druggists. The simple relig-
ious services were conducted by the pastor of
the deceased, Rev. DR.. Smaller, and consisted of
scripture lesson, prayer and address. Many
of those who were in attendance took last far
well look at the familiar face of their dead
friend The coffin bore ON its lid beautiful
cross of camelias, and other simple floral trib-
utes. The burial was announced to take place
at subsequent hour, to suit the convenience of
the family; a custom which we are glad to see
is being generally observed in this country. The
last farwell to the ashes of our loved friends is
too touching and sacred to be gazed on by those
who are too often drawn to the place by mere
feeling of ordinary respect or cold curiosity.

FOURTH OF JULY.-The Committee entrusted
with the preparation of plan for the proper
observance of our National Holiday have COM
pleted all the details for tomorrow, and the
programme which they have arranged and pub
lished promises most magnificent street
pageant They have considered their plan de-
liberately and the popular voice appears to APP
prove it. The idea of concentrating all the
uniformed military of the State in Portland for
grand parade and drill was one of the happi-
est character and will result, it is to be hoped,
in promoting that genuine esprit du corps so
necessary to a thorough military system. There
is generous spirit of emulation among such
organizations that should be cultivated, and we
have no doubt that the contest for the champi-
onship will be animated Our fire department,
truckmen, and other associations that will join
the procession, have entered upon the work
with vigor and have encouraged the Committee
by their promptness. The day therefore will
be celebrated in manner highly cre1itable to
the city, without doubt, and the residents of
other towns and cities will be attracted to
Portland in large numbers. The liberal ar
rangement of railroad and steamboat fares and
trains will render the work of getting to the
city and home again both convenient and easy.
The decorators have been busy with their plans
for week, and the firemen promise elegant
display in their division. The representatives
of the States, the singing children in their floral
carriage, the old oaken bucket, and the foun-
tain of Sebago in full lplay will be pretty fea-
lures, quite tasty in design and up to the pub
lie expectation, as the work has been entrusted
to gentlemen of skill and judgment The Com
mittee appear to have expended the appropria-
ton judiciously and, in conjunction with Chief
Marshal Pennel, haue resolved to make cele-
bration that shall honor the day and be salts
factory to all who come to enjoy it,

MARROW ESCAPE FROM DRowNING.-On
Monday, Frank Strout little son of S. A.
Strout, while bathing in the Basin in company
with some other lads, got beyond his depth and
would have drowned if two other lads by the
name of Breslin and Leavitt had not rescued
him. When taken from the water he was un-
conscious, but, with remarkable presence of
mind the rescuers raised him by the feet so
that the water poured from his mouth. They
then rubbed him vigorously and called a Mr.
Tibbets to assist them, and by their united eff
forts the boy was restored. Mr.. Tibbets took
the boy home, where he was placed in charge
of Dr. Weeks Bresln and Leavitt are de-
serving of praise for their presence of mind.

THE FIFTH OF JULY.-The day succeeding
the Fourth has for many years been in this
community almost as much of holiday as the
Day itself, inasmuch as it has invariably been
devoted to excursions-a kind of transition pro-
cess from the straining excitement of the Ma
tional celebration to the calmness of ordinary
pursuits Heretofore the Islands have been the
objective point now the railroad lines and the
country invite the people. The Infantry and
Cadets propose to go to Rochester on Friday,
and will try and make the day agreeable to
those of their friends who will accompany
them. Dancing, football and other amuse-
ments will be provided McDuffee's hall will
be open to the party, and the whole expense for
the round trip WILDE but dollar.

and Interesting experience in this line. It is SO
extensive that he cannot now remember
whether the Willamette beauty in the

deyotcs himself to listening to the histories of
chambermaids who work for 50 O. month in the

after having visited New Orleans and the Holy
Land-which he thus apparently sets down as
the two moral extremes Of the universe-to
pitch his tent in some lonely spot overhansing
tie Pacific 0cean, put Tennyson's theory into
practice, and take to himself some savage
