BIsEoP SIMPSON AND THn CENTENEIAL.-
The following IS an extract from an address
of the leading BishopOf the Northern Method
ist church, on the subject of celebrating the
one-hundredth Anniversary of American In
dependence
We shall meet again as Americans on the
4th of July, 1875, should God spare our lives,
not in anxiety and fear, not confined to a
little circle in Independence Hall, but we shall
meet with outstFetched and With olasped hands
from Main TO TexAs We shall hear the con
gratulatiOns Of our fellOw-citizens from South
Carolina to Oregon. We shall come, forget
ting the strifes of the past. We shall come,
united together by our railroads and our tele-
graph wires. We shall come to celebrate the
victories Of trade and the victories Of COM
meTce. We shall come to rejoice In our free
schools and our prosperous churches. We
shall come as great nation, bound by indis-
soluble bonds never to be broken. We shall
come with the eyes of tie world upon us, with
men Of all creedS and all natiOnallties to look
upon our prosperity. And that celebration OF
the 4th Of July, 1876, will, 1 think, give new
impulse to the cause of liberty all over the
earth. Strangers shall carry back to theiI
lands, tidings of our civilization, of the happ
ness Of our people, Of our increased wealth, Oi
what republican government can do to pro
mote the prosperity of its people. And thinl
that after 1S76the only men on earth who vii
be sad because of our celebration will be th'
kings and tyrants who Oppress their fellows
and these will feel that they need to look Il
the security Of their places.

A Ghost story.

From the indianapolis Journal.
Fountain county furnishes the latest ghost sto-
ry. Last summer, farmer living on Shawnee
prairie, near Attica, was struck by lightning and
killed. Recently the widow married a very re
spectacle citizen, and now, whenever the worthy
couple go out for an evening ride, the ghost o
the man who was killed by lightning makes his
appearance and silently follows the wagon, never
asking to ride. He made his first appearance on
the occasion when they were removing some chat
tells from the house formerly occupied by the
widow TO that of her new husband While going
along the road two of his old neighbOrs mot ant
saluted him, and he answered. In q state of won
deTment they turned aud followed the appartioD
but before they could overtake it it disappeared
