THE FOURTH.

As the Anniversary of our Independence
approaches the public feeling seems to in
tcnsify, and the determination to celebrate
as VIC never have before, becomes more
and more positive with the passage OF
each succeeding day. Hitherto, the day
has been observed, but rather because It WAS
customary than otherwise, and the observ-
ancc has been in most instances Of a char
actcr calculated to afford pleasure rather
than profit. We have not always serious
ly considered the significance Of "Inde-
pcndcnce Day" We have not duly re-
mcmbcrcd the sacrifices which were made
for it, nor the struggles which it cost. We
have not properly estimated the liberties
which we have in consequence Of 1t, nor
the blessings inseparable from those lib
critics. We have not cherished as We
ought the memory o fthe patriots and he.
rocs to whom we owe all that we now en-.
| joy of civil government and personal lib
erty. We have never properly appreciated
the difference between a free country and
a monarchy, between religion establish
ed by law, and a religion established by
love; between schools for the aristocrats
and schools for the poor as we'll as for the
rich: between a proprietary ownership OF
the soil and that policy which gives every
citizen farm to be selected by himself
between the cxclusiycncss of royal society
and the universally of social intercourse
which republic allows; between titled
greatness and a fame achieved by manly
deeds ;.betwcen obedience to sovereign
power and the exercise of ones own free
will,-thcsc are things which the Amcri
can people have never appreciated as they
appreciate them this centennial year, and
they have never celebrated the Nations
Anniversary as they will celebrate this, in
the providence Of God, its one hundrc,h.

THE WEATHER.

Last Thursday afternoon it was intense.
~ hot here, and in tho evening it raipcd a
little. The next morning the weather was
very cold, and in some parts of the coun
ty rain fell in considerable quantities, and
it continued to be cold and to rain more
or less until Monday night when tho clouds
floated away and left the sky clear, but on
Tuesday it was cloudy again and cold
We have never before known such a long
time Of very cold weather at this season OF
the year. 1t seemed as though a snow
STORM had started, up in the neighborhood
Of Fort Garry and driven by north.wcs
wind, come down into our hot atmospher,
in which the snow was melted and pre-
cipitatcd upon us in the form of rain. AL
though it has chilled everybody and every
thing, it has done great good to the whea
which had already suffered considerable,
on account Of the dry weather.

EDITOR TRANSCRIPT:
DEAR SlR:-Amid the heat of the ill.,
tense excitement, that has Of late prevailed
in this neighborhood, occasioncd mostly
by Centennial, Circuscs, Black Hills, and
Barbecues, the weather is tho only thing
that seems determined under any and all
circumstances, to keep perfectly cool and
not only does it succeed to perfection in
that, but to US, thinly shod school girls,
who are doomed to tramp from one to
two miles each morning and night, it has
that quality best described, as just tho
wctest kind ofmoisturc. The way that VIC
dodge the showers, walk fences, and leap
mud -holcs would cast Mr.. Burr Robbins
troupe Of crobats entirely into the shade
We have a solace however in the fact that
cold, moist weather is the most favorable
to the wheat crop, which to all appcaran
ccs will be more than ordinarily large this
season. The rains arc also rapidly rircn
bath School festivals float before us, bu,
let us not anticipate.
Our citizens all expect to celebrate the
Fourth at Austin.
Our school was never in a more flour
ishing condition. Miss Brown is provin.
herself to be painstaking and fully com
petcnt teacher, and gives general satisfac
ton.
Mr.. NJ. l.. Bulls has entirely recovered
from his severe illness, and is once more
seen about the premises, crowded with
and crowding business.
The elder Mrs. Isaac Vandcrwarkcr. an
old resident and very old lady, is lying
dangerously i'll at the residence finer son
in-law, Mr.. r. n. Green, she has the ten
derest care that tilial affection can prompt
and hopes are entertained Of her recovery
surely all are anxions TO see grandma a
