MoRRIsvILLE.-The celebration here on the
Fourth was great success, the number pres
ent being estimated at from 8 600 to 8, 900 peo-
pie, large share of whom came from along
the line Of the Lamoille Valley railroad, east
of here The programme was fully and salts
tactorily carried out, and the balloon ascension
was one Of the best we ever knew Rising
maiestically into the air, the balloon first went
in a southerly direction about two miles, when
it struck another current of air and noated in
the opposite direction. 1t was in sight until
just before il landed, and the landing must
have been in Eden or possibly Albany. The
trotting was excellent, although the weather
was exceedingly hot The purse of 800 was
won by :" Gambler, horse entered by Uttou
Brothers and Jerry Drew. The 5000 purse
was taken by Flora entered by p. Nc
Annay, Of st. Adams, while the largest purse
of $3.50 was secured by Jerry Drew, -
owned by Jerry Drew. Our people feel very
exultant over the result Of the celebration, and
feel as though all that was necessary to make
future celebrations successful was to take hold
of them in earnest and push them with will.

TINS ForRrn in this village was dull enough,
most Of our patriotic citizens having gone to
Burlington, or Bethel, or Morrisvile to ceie-
brate. When Montpelier lays herself out for
a Fourth Of July celebration she has big one,
as witness our celebrations last year and the
year before but when she concludes to pass il
over, it goes just as far the other way, and is
fully as dull and insipid as it is crowded and
patriotic when we celebrate.
