The speaker then proceeded by an

own country to exemplify and enforce
the truth expressed in the text quoted
above; and drew tie pointed moral
that we s. a nation are never out Of

At the close OF The Grafton the can

called for and given and the exercises
al the stand concluded with music by
the band
AT this time quite a large number
were gathered ia The town. probably
1000 besides the townspeople. For
the rest of the day everyone sought
his own pleasure in his own way !;

AT WEST BRANCH.
Our exercises through the day on
the Fourth passed off very pleasant
ly. Springdale failed to give US all
they promised; but notwithstanding
the time was very well occupied.
Mr.. Adams, of Cedar Rapids, deliver
ed an address which was very inter-
esting. Mr.. A. deserves the thanks
of all present for his entertaining ad.
dress. J. E. Wyant and Z. NJ. Eli
OFT responded to ,oasts. The music
was well rendered by the Springdale
and West Branch Glee Clubs.
The Fire Works were not so much
Of success. Every preparation was
made to ensure success, but the wind
changing suddenly about the time
the performance commenced threw
the fire back upon the stand, and, al
though the fire works were well pro-
.ec.ed some FIRE got to them-the
may be imagined GER
tainly not described. They all sven,
off at the same time. 1t was grand
while it lasted, or rather it was to
those Of US who did not know there
was danger.

little to regret; but unfortunately

years old, was struck, il is supposed, |

fearful wound. She was taken at
once to Mr.. Geo. Boone's and every.
thing done that could be done

certainly would. The last we heard
she was getting along better than
was expected. -.

is safe to say there were 1900

About ten o'clock the stirring
totes Of the Martial Band caused the
,eople to assemble at the speakers
tand. Next was the singing of a
'ery beautiful and appropriate piece,
Untitled "Again We've Met by the
philharmonic Singing Association
The Chaplain, Rev. J. H. Hayward,
icing quite i'll his place was filled by
Rev. Henry Wharton, who offered
IN impressive prayer. An appropri-
ate address of welcome was then de-
ivered by c. P. Furst, after which
the Declaration o. Independence was
read by Rev. J. w. Kynett, in voice
that could be heard all over the
grove. "Let US have Peace" was
then sung by Miss Maggie Bowers,
the Association joining in the chorus.
The President of the Day then in
troduced Rev. J. w. Henderson, who
proceeded to deliver an excellent
GRAFTON, after which that part Of the
programme which people think the
most Of on the 4th of July was gone
through with successfully.
After dinner the Martial Band
again brought the audience together,
when singing, and brief and pithy ad-
dresses by Rev'ds Martin and Shontz
and Mr.. Tressier, preceded toasts and
responses as follows:
"The Patrons Of Husbandry"-re-
