CENTENNIAL DAY, "Wednesday Of last
week. was duly observed in our "burg. ="
Bunting futtered with perfect looseness.
Many places of business were decorated pro
fusely with the stars and stripes, which made
our town present quite a gala appearance.
At the Indian Queen Hotel a very large flag
was raised in honor Of the day. In the even
ing fantastical parade and torch light pro-
cession, with drum corps, horns &c, was in
augurated and carried out in fine style, and
a small cannon, stationed in front of Hess
Bros, cigar store lent its thunders to give
emphasis and eclat to the occasion. Capt.
Jack, in front Of Hess Bros, store seemed to
enjoy the fun amazingly, as did many who
were net so stoical in character. The boys,
on their march, halted in front of the JEFF.
office and gave us a taste both of the quality
of the music and extent of their repertoire.
The day s glorification closed with an extensive
bon fire near the Burnett House. Store
boxes, In consequence, were in such demand
that none were left to grace our side walks
with their beautifying presence next morning.
No accident marked the days proceedings.
And now let US think, and act fast, about a
Centennial 4th Of July. Let it be an old
fashioned one too-one which, as John
Adams had it, will be marked with the ring
ing of bells, with bon fires, crackers, firing
and every other species OF demonstration best
calculated to show a nation S joy, and rejoic-
ing over the arrival of our glorious nation S
hanlredth anniversary.

visitors, besides host of invited guests.
On Saturday last, the 18th inst, there were

1t is befitting that we should hold sacred
the memory of our dead comrades and
nations sacrificed heroes. But few years
ago they left their homes and went forth
to battle for a nations rights, with hearts
as light as we. The loving kiss was i'm
pressed upon the brow Of the fond wife
the loving mother and sister, and to the
lips of the darling, pratting infants and
went forth to meet destiny. That destiny
was the maintenance of nations rights,
the perpetuity of our glorious independence;
an independence whose Centennial anniyer-
sary we would not this year have celebrated
but for them. That destiny has called US
together, and while we are called upon to
mourn their loss, We can but strew their
graves with living flowers, in commemora-
ton Of the fact that their memory still lives
in a nations glory. Let these facts fill
every throbbing breast with sympathetic
feelings, and fire every heart with the
warmth of patriotism and as the Both of
May has been made national holiday, we
earnestly request that all business places be
closed on that day from one o'clock till six
o'clock,
Donations of flowers and evergreens are
earnestly solicited. VIII not our young
ladies display their handy work by the
weaving of harps, wreathes, anchors crosses
and such other appropriate emblems for
the occasion?
Due notice will be given as to time and
place of meeting and the route of the pro-
cession.

The Centennial.

Wednesday marked an important epoch,
in the opening of the Worlds Fair, gotten up
in commemoration ofthe hundredth anniver-
sary Of our National independence. 1t is
estimated that over one hundred thousand
strangers, representing nearly every known
quarter Of the globe, were present in Phia-
delphia and took part in the ceremonies,
either as participants or spectators The
whole affair-procession, Inauguration cere-
mOnies lockers on, the grounds the exhibi-
ton buildings and the matters exhibited
formed grand pageant such as the world
never witnessed before. Men used to great
.scenes-men experienced in Journalism, and
possessed of most forid descriptive powers,
and men staid and sober in their lives, walk
and conversation, unite in pronouncing the
affair grand beyond the power of words to
describe. In extent, variety, and success,
all agree that this effort of the new world to
commemorate the Centennial of its existence.
and to bring together in one common exhibi-
ton the productive skill Of the world, in
science, In refined and mechanic arts, in
general handiwork and in the promotion ola
glorious liberty, exceeds by far everything of
like character heretofore attempted. The
incidents Of the affair too, are something
marvellous, the uniting in common object
the rulers and subjects and skill of despotism.
with the people, the servants and the handi-
work of free men in celebrating the Centen-
NAL of a nation built up with liberty as the
foundation and the protection of the best
interests of its subjects as its chief corner
stone, Despotic Egypt, the so called Oldest
nation, Turkey and China vie with the more
liberal States Of Europe in making the cele-
bration of the Centennial Of American liberty
in the younger nation a success. The
thought may possibly be grasped, but the
full measure of its significance is wholly be-
yond human comprehension. 1t is not pre-
tended that the exhibition is complete as vet,
but enough has been accomplished to force
from the lips Of all beholders the startling
enunciation--'' 'prodidgious" The busy
hum of preparation still resounds through
out the grounds and buildings, and month
or six weeks must yet elapse ere the master
spirits in charge of the work will pronounce
all complete; and yet in its unfinished state
the experienced exhibitors of England,
France and Austria are constrained to pro-
nounce ours a marvel of wonder when compar-
ing it to the old world About the middle of
June or the first of July the full perfection
Of our effort will appear. when we would
advise all who can, by any possibility, to
visit Philadelphia and its worlds fair, where
days and weeks and even months may be
proftably spent without more than half
exhaushng the facilities for sight seeing.
