Between the hours OF eight and nine o'clock
on Saturday evening last, the Sth inst, the
people Of this vicinity who happened to be out
door Wi messed one of the most majestic mete-
oric displays ever seen in this part of the hem
isphere. meteor Of great brilliancy rose at
a point east by southeast and shot across the
horizon west by northwest, and, after reaching
point about thirty degrees to the westward,
seemed to die out just as mammoth rocket
does after having exhausted itself. The hori-
zon was brilliantly illuminated, and the light
was so strong as to have enabled a person to
read the ordinary print Of newspaper. The
The object from which it emanated appeare d
to be about three inches IN diameter and was
visible for about two minutes. 1t seemed to be
bord cred with blue, which in turn seemed to be
frlnged with red OF purple tint. The track OF
the meteor through its whole course was mark
by brilliant train OF the color aud appearance
OF strong fame. This, at first, was apparently
OF the thickness OF three inch rope, and then
gradually increased in breadth until it disap-
peared, lasting fully thirty minutes.
At Decatur 1t presented the same appearance
and briliancy. but seemed to be north OF the
village. At Detroit the same characteristics
were observed, but Its course seemed to be
from south to north

For 90 large crowd, and taking into consider
alton the fact that all the saloons @ sold OUT
clean on that day, there was little disturbance,
and all things passed of pleasantly.
The night after the Fourth the night thieves
were again at work and Mr.. Reed, the propri-
etor OF bakery and eating house, was relieved
crowd on Tuesday. His loss is stated at about
5000, and no prospect Of recovering so far.
II seems that on account OF having to pay q

and said he wouldn't show in Paw Paw, but
would come to Decatur instead; and so, on
Thursday, the Goth, he will relieve the people
in this vicinity of their spare change Small
boys, who have hardly recovered from the
financial exhaustion caused by the celebration,
are now anxiously casting about for their

The great social event OF the season is to
take place this evening, viz: the marriage OF

number OF invitations have been issued, and
the event promises to be one of great interest.

Our Decatur correspondent intimates that
our notice OF the Fourth Of July celebration at
Decatur was rather brief. This was 80 from
two causes. Our columns were full to over
flowing and the seven or eight thousand
people in attendance know how it was them
selves, and the outside barbarians who ran off
to Kalamazoo to attend sort OF second-class
affair, have no right to be posted as to the
splendid show they missed. Bnt we will tell
them, privately, that when Decatur sets out
for good time, there is "no half way dons
about it," Their splendid success on that occa-
sion has been the subject OF much social COM
ment and commentator.

The Democratic convention was courteous to
MISS Cousins, inasmuch as they permitted her
to address them, but dumb on the subj ect
which she e,oquenrly urged upon their consid-

claims with contempt.
Rev. Ada Q. Bowles mas been appointed by
the Pennsylvania Universalist convention, at
its late session at Easton, Pa, to preach the
