How thoroughly can enter into and -

alter enumerating long catalogue of al

Ing told once By another old lady that she
was then suffering with " cramp collie n her

did NOT see the point in,the old lady's reply
then, and pitied the old souls ignorance.
But It's AL clear to me now and II any
body asks me again what lumbago II, the
answer is ready, It's forty toothaches In

Well the Fourth ''the glorious Fourth
the Centennial Fourth"-has come and
gone. But its associations survive. There
was flow Of patriotism let loose yesterday,
and we hope everybody feels better. or
course, there are some who 1nd it convenient
TO supplement their enjoyment Ok Swine,
mirth and laushter," !" with "hock and soda
water" the day altar. OIL how the heads
swell to day.
In New Castle, the day was celebrated in
manner characteristic of it's citizens. Its
observance was marked, in an eminent
degree BY sobriety, dignity and decorum.
There was Joy and exultation but there
was not any gush, ,bluster or uproariousuess,
everything seemed to haYe been arranged
with due regard for the proprieties, and was
conducted dscently and n order.
The night Of the Third was clOudless and
beautiful, with the moon nearly ct It's full,
and, except the occasional explosion of .
'dre-cracker, the city seemed more than
usually noiseless. At 1l:S0, the bells were
simultaneously wrung; and to their inhar-
monious jangle, was added the noise of the
RI port . few dre-crackcrs, pistols, guns and
cannons, The lachrymose ringing Sof the
bells at i given signal, showed that there
was collusion amongst the operators, and
system ia the management Of the affair, and
rumOr has 1t, that B. c
"Went and told the Sex ton,
And the Sexton tolled the BELLS"
Its repo1led also, that another fellow call
ed, "The Curfew.' tolled the (k) Nell
Of parting day, and that she, women like,
spread the whole thing round.
Be that ~ it may, the row didn't last long,
and shortly after midnight, all noises ceased,
and everybody looming their 'tnightly wear
ing" went to bed and slept quietly. The
poet of OF Of the Court House offices de
scribes the thing this way:
Twas ding-dong, = flash and a thunder
rnen iIf III vent sU /. snoring horrible snore.
He begs me to say, that the poem from
which this is an extract is copyrighted, and
he'll prosecute its Infringement. Playa
rists Will please take notice.
Seriously, never did the night previous
and the Fourth pass on in 20 qniet, sober
and orderly manner before. Due observ-
ance of the occasion, Was paid, but In an
unexceptionably proper manner. A circum-
stance due in a large degree. doubtless,t to
the fact that large portion Of the fermen-
tive, frothy and fulminant element of the
city was attracted to Philadelphia.
r P. s. and Nota Bene-B. G., or the bird
that sperched up0nthe palid bust Of Pal
las'' hts just called, with two pointed wea-
pons photographed upon his retin@-in
other words, with daggers in his eyes, to
deny the charge that he was out the night
of the Sd, or had anything to do with ring
ing those bells. He ssys he loves
the sounds Of village bells
When on the undulating air they swim,
Now 1sssls,'. loud e Welcomes! fAsnt now a.
And trembling All shout The breezy bells
but says he had taken running start on
lager, In the morning, and could not get
out.
We take great pleasure In making the
anssnds honorable but ssy, with emphasis,
We hope no one else win come Growing over
