FATAL ACCIDENT.-The 4th was gala day
in GAINESVILLE; an immense number of people
were in town to witness the procession, which
was an exceedingly fine one for the facilities
at hand, and it passed over the entire line of
march marked out before the rain. About 81
O'Clock in the evening frightful accident oc-
Cured, causing the death of a boy named
Wilkie, aged about Is years, a son of Uriah
Wilkie, carpenter. residing in Barnesvile,
and the injuring of several other persons.
The accident occurred in this wise: The young
man Wilkie, T. A. Rogers, the hardware
dealer, and several others, were engaged in
loading and firing piece of gas pipe, probably
II or inches in diameter; the charge bursted
it all to atoms, and the fragments few in eve
ry direction, one of the pieces striking Wilkie
on the jaw and neck, crushing the jaw, and
tearing through the fore part of the neck,
producing u ghastly and frightful wound,
killing him almost instantly; Mr. Rogers had
his fingers severely lacerated, and was injured
in the arm. Two or three others were slight
iy injured by the explosion. Truly, sad
Centennial 4th to the bereaved parents of the
young man.

OUR. BIRTHDAY.
The Glorious Centennial Fourth

Monday completed the first one hundred
years of our National Independence. All day
long grateful people through the length and
breadth of the land, where is almost heard the
throbbings of the mighty heart of human civili-
zation, were preparing for the ushering in Of
the new century of Independence. Dormant
patriotism walked from its lethargy, and people
Realized that such an occasion occurs only
once in three generations. Amid clangor,
clatter, rattle and roar, the glorious day was
ushered in, and as the sun rose over river and
lake and mountain and valley, village, town
and city, the booming of cannon and the ring
ing of bells. mingled with the wild enthusi-
asm OF 40, ,OOO, 900 freemen. From the hill
tops and spires, from public buildings
the novels of the poor, and the palaces of the
rich, laughed in the sunlight our national en-
blem, and the whole country was glitteriRg
with our national stars. Every city, town and
hamlet lent its voice TO the common jubilation
and from the heart of the whole nation,
from chimes Of bells, from screeching locomo-
tives-from bands of music-from rattling
musketry-f the belching batteries, and
from the cheers of the populace, rose proud
centennial Civilizations
In st. Clairsville this patriotic feeling man
ifested itself in no small degree; at midnight
the old Court House bell was rung, and young
America, never LIKING, was upon the streets,
with crackers and torches, bells, horse pistols,
loaded anvils, whistles and horse fiddles, and
horns, with discord enough to knock all the
4th of July out of sedate, staid folk At six
O'Clock, all the bells in the village-church,
school house and court house-rang out in
honor of the day; the Band discoursed the
National airs; the hotels and private houses,
were gaily decorated with flags and festoons
and notices, and all the people gave them
selves over to patriotic impulses.
The chief features of the celebration here
was under the direction of the Agricultural
Society. The programme presented by them
drew out an immense mass of humanity, which
began to arrive in town early, so that at noon
there was between 5000 and 5000 people on
the Fair Grounds, where the celebration was
to occur, and then many in the town and sur
rounding it, were kept at home waiting the
verdict of an approaching storm. Overhang-
ing clouds prevented the following out of the
order of exercises, and at noon when heavy
rain came, little had been done. The Histor-
cal Grafton, which was to have been delivered
by Hon L Danford, was not delivered, because
the state of the public business at Washington
would not permit of his absence from his
place in Congress. The time was pleasantly
spent, however, by the large crowd in social
and In witnessing the sports of the
Horse Ring which were as follows.
