Special Correspondence to the ADVOCATE.
THE FoUarH AT KANE,-fhc 97th
anniversary of the Independence Of the
United States was celebrated in almost
tvery city and town in the country, but
in no place was there more quiet or
successful celebration than at Kane,
where tie birthday Of American
Freedom was made a day Of rejoicing,
to every one who participated in the
f stivities of the day as conducted by
the c. T. B. Society Of that little village
upon the mountain. The morning hours
were wet and gloomy, causing many TO
put on long faces, predicting rainy dis
agreeable day, hut at nine o'clock the
rain began to abate, an4 at this time
the Silver Cornet Band from Ridgway
put in an appearance, and faiier pros
pect vas presented, az 1G 0'clock the
sky began TO show itself through the
clouds, and the society convened at the
church, where the procession was formed
and headed by the Band marched 10 the
residence of Gen Thoo. l.. Kane who
for once was surprised in his owu camp,
captured, and marched through the
woods and streets Of Kane az uurcsiat-
ing prisoner The beautiful grove near
the Kane hotel was the scene Of the
festivities. The ceremonies were opened
by music, followed by the reading Of the
Declaration OF Independence by Gen
Kane, who delivered a brief Grafton.
After this formal opening Of the day
everyone gave themselves up to pleasure.
Those inclined to trip the light fantastic
toe formed ON the platform erected for
that purpose in the grove, and music,
dancing, and fcasting were the order OF
the day. The ladies of the society Tee
pared a tempting array OF catabIeS
toward which many a longing glance
was cast until the command was heard,
"fall in for rations," which was obeyed
with alacrity, and justice done to the
provisions, but great injustice to the
stomachs. Dancing continued in the
grove until evening, hen all adjourned
to the spacious hall in the Kane hote!,
where were convened the bright, gay,
and beautiful, in sufficient numbcrs to
fill to overhowing the large ball room
which was generously thrown open for
the occasion by Gen. Kane, This dance
was the crowning event of the day, and
a more joyful sight to behold than the
smiling faces of that happy company, is
seldom seen iu this vicinity. The floor
managers were kind and obliging, and
excelently performed their part of the
work, and until past the small hours OF
morning the dance continued; when at
last the company dispersed it was with
the kinliest feelings toward the society,
which by its excellent management be-
slowed so much unalloyed enjoyment.
In short Kane enjoyed truly glorious
Fourth. The Ridgway Band added
greatly to the enjoyment aud success OF
the day, their excellent music and bright
dashiug uniforms. pleasing both ear and
eye. The society, under whose auspices
this celebration was held, realized
handsome sum to be applied toward the
advancement of the truly noble work in
which they are engaged. May they en-
joy many happy returns of the "day we
celebrate" y. l. lty'

been attracted to the order Of the Pat
rons of Husbandry, which has become
quite an important element in the po-
litical and economical affairs of the

it is so well established its founders have
concluded to make public tie circun-
stances Of lis origin and Of the rise and
growth Of an organization which mum
bers among its members huudreds of
thousands OF farmers throughout the
land. The people Of this city were as
much astonishcd as anybody to be told
that it was started ouly a few years ago
by few government clerks. In 1856

nectcd with the Department of Agii-
culture, was sent u GA tour OF obserya-
