girls Of sweet sixteen chewed gum and waited
for the coming man, but the coming man
did not always come, '' and how could ne

\ toast was announced in German oy
Rudolph Kruger, Past Master OF hoy
Greek Grange, to which Mr.. Sandleman
Of the same Grange was called upon to re-
spond and did respond in good style in the
German tongue. After greeting his hear
ers he mentioned how grateful all should
feel that the liberties given to US by the
fathers have been for nearly 100 years SO
we'll preserved, and that slavery, which
tarnished our flag so many years. has been
finally removed. He then touched upon
the attempts Of foreign and domestic ene-
mics to overthrow cur government, and
thanked God that these had been unsuc-
cessful. The Order of P. Of H. was then
spoken of-its origin and development and
its object to fight down and crush out King
Monopoly. The speech was delivered
with energy and was we'll received by his
German fellow countrymen.
After the toasts and responses there fol-
lowed more singing, more of the friendly
interchange OF thought and greetings be-
tween neighbors, and then the assembly
commenced their return to their homes,
seeming we'll satisfied with the way in
which the day had passed.
ZuNBRoTA, July 9th, 1874.
The Fourth is over. To US it always
seems the halfway mark OF the season.
Buds and bloom till now-hereafter ma
turity and decline.
Our people were we'll represented in the
Grange celebration at Goodhue. Yet many
who would otherwise have been there re-
NAMED at home on account of the extreme
heat of the day.
But of the celebration. Miles of ride in
the burning, sweltering heat, and to find
the air at our destination like the breath
Of furnace, lily fitted US to be very ap-
preciative. Doubtless the speeches were
all good, first rate unquestionably they
were so, knowing who made them. But
who could listen with the mercury at 100?
We tried to, but found it as hard to retain
as to hear. Therefore, we will be excused
from saying much about the speeches.
Of the crowd present we have more
distinct recollection. We heard the words
Every warm day. hot day." passed from
mouth to mouth as greetings, so often, that
we remember them. Strange they needed
by words to remind each other Of it. And
yet they did In fact that was the topic
talked about more than any other, we will
call that strange too. Never do we expect,
however, to be at a gathering again when
the different towns about US shall by male
and female be so we'll and fully represent
ed. Never do we expect anywhere to see
again so solid and substantial gathering.
We were proud Of those energetic faces,
largely farmers, and farmers wives and
daughters, they were worth the seeing.
They showed US what material the oranges
are composed Of. Happy the organization
which can unite them all over the land, as
this has done. And this is but the begin
ming. May we have many more Grange
celebrations.
On the evening Of the Fourth our people
attended strawberry festival managed by
ladies;of the Congregational church which
netted them fifty dollars. The brass band
was in attendance, and discussed sweet
music. A large company, composed Of the
different denominations, composed of the
young, composed Of the old, had very
pleasant, social time such as Zumbrota alone
can have. And that is all. J.B.L.
