THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1877.


The patriotic citizens of Vancouver
did not let the 4th of July go by with
out proper observance OF the day.
Mayor Sohns and others on the Com
mittee of Arrangements, on the part or
the citizens, assisted by Capt. Evans
and Major Kress of the post, got up
celebration that would have been cred
itbale to more pretentious burg than
Vancouver At u o'clock the national
salute was fired at The Ordnance De-
partment, Immediately after which the
people assembled at the Public Square.
Geo. W. Durgin Esq. oficiated as Pres
ident and introduced Chaplain Collins
who offered prayer. The band played
''Star Spangled Banner" after which
Mr. Hubert Daniels was introduced who
read the Declaration of Independence
in clear ringing voice, doing the sub
ject ample justice. After music by the
Band Hon Joseph NJ. Fletcher was
introduced who delivered the grafton.
We regret that the crowded condition
of these columns prevent our publishing
it. Suffice to say the production was
creditable to Mr.. Fletcher and highly
appreciated by his hearers. During
