and was enjoyed alike by spectators
and dancers. We noticed in the
sett one very dignihed old lady with
spectaclcs on her nose who had
more OF the "poetry Of notion"
perhaps, than any one we ever saw.
All Of them did their parts we'll and
contributed their share to the popu-
lar enjoyment. "-. o .~
Our Old friend and fellow con
tractor Joe Rice breathed just as
natural as grown person. He was
enjoying .himstY and seeing to it
that everybody else enjoyed Mem-
seh'ss. Finally Il more thoroughly
enjoyable time than was had at Is
dale on "Wednesday last we never
experienced. Take it all in all, Es-
dale is inhabited by as good class
of people as one can find in any
country and there Is no question as
to their knowing how to celebrate.
In the evening the performance
wound UP with a free dance in the
hall, where we noticed Frank Man
tor circulating around, distributing
tickets, introducing strangers and
doing what he could to make every
body happy. 1t is, perhaps, unnec-
essary to add that he met with the:
best possible success. He is also a
success in business point of view.
Keeps we'll selected stock of goods
and has a good trade. Mcdonald
Bros. also carry good stock and
do a good business. Mr.. Gillespie,
proprietor of the new hotel, seemed
to be doing successful business
and has a good commodious house.
That lie sets 4 good table we are
ready to make affidavit at any time
and place, for we know whereof we
speak. =
Mrs. Butterheld manages another
hotel in the village, and we were
told keeps a good one. We noticed
quite large delegation from Zien-
ton township and heard them ex-
press themselves to the effect that
they had good time. In cohclu-
sion, Mr.. Editor, if Red Wing would
learn to properly celebrate the .4th
Of July let the people come to Es-
dale some time. Hoping that the
American Eagle will continue to be
the same tremendous fellow that he
always has been and more so, if pos
slble, we are as ever,

"A fellow named Hilton, for

not be amiss for these same papers
to lecture the reporters, and teach
them to so behave themselves that
they would not deserve to be classed
with loafers. The blame for the es

first low-bred fellow who has had
money, nor is he the first BLACKBOARD
who wilfully insulted a, Jew. Why
make celebrity Of such a shallow

Would it not be as we'll for the

The Fourth at Esdaile.
Editor Grange Adrancc ::

who attended the celebration at the
pleasant little village Of Esdailc, on
the 4th, we will give you some of
the items. The day was ushcred in
by firing of anvils as usual and we
never saw men wor k with greater
energy than did those who had
charge ofthat part ofthe programme.
The result was----a good deal of a
noise so much, in fact, that the
whole population arose early and
began the celebration in one way
and another forthwith. About ten
o'clock, q. H., the procession was
formed by the marshal of the day
and his assistants in the following
order.
1st. The glorious stars and
stripes.
ed. Martial band.
Sc. Esdaile glee club.
4th. Esdaile Sabbath School.
5tt. Citizens in carriages, &C.,
&c.
After forming, the procession
marched up Main street to a point
opposite the church. Thence north
for distance of one block. Thence
west two blocks. Thence south to
the grove just southeast Of Mr..
Betcher's factory, where we found
the finest natural spot for a picnic
that could be found anywhere, per-
haps. The ground selected being
level and nicely shaded. On the
grounds we found large and strong
ly built platform for the speakers,
music, &C., while in front of that
was another platform on the ground
for dancing, size "a by IS feet and
in the center of which stood a beau
tiful shade tree. Near the platform S
were refreshment stands, swings
whirligigs, &c., &c.
Arriving on the grounds, the fol-
lowing programme was carried out.

A splendid feature Of the days

the company assembled. In the

he failed to put in an appearance.

the people young and old some very
good advice and some ideas that il

treated us to some good sound com

Ever and anon a change is
made in the incumbency Of some
federal Office in some part of the
country, the old occupant being re-
quested to resign and, in case of his
refusal to do SO, being removed and
a new appointee installed. In many
cases no charge is made against the
party removed, and he and his
friends are apt to complain Of the
treatment as unjust and criticise Sc
verely the conduct of the admins
tration, declaring it to be contrary
to the promises and professions
made by President Hayes. Be-
fore forming an opinion on sub
jects of this sort, We must not forget
that we do not and cannot under
stand the motives which prompt to
acts of this kind. There may be no
charges made public against the re-
moved officials, but they may never
theless be utterly unsuitable and the
public interests may demand thac
the changes shall be made. In some
instances, where changes have been
made by the present administration,
we know the parties and know they
should never have been appointed
because of their want of fitness.

Kinzer, thus sadly and impress'vely admon-
ishing US that in the midst of life we are in
death; aud as tribute of respect to the
memory Of the deceased, therefore, be il
REsoLvEp, That in the death Of Brother
Kinzsr our SOcie.y has lost one of its best
members, the community a citizen whose
Philanthropy and integrity won for him the
respect and esteem OF all who knew him.
RESOLVED, That We tender to the relatives

sends them, and who is too wise to err and
too good to be unkind.
RESOLVED, That We bow TO the irrevoca-
bic mandates of an all-wise Providence,
and ir view of the uncertainty of life and
the certainty Of death, we should be aroused
TO a sense OF our condition, and be ready at
all times, for in such an hour as We think
not the Son of Man cometh.
RESOLVED, That IN testimony OF the re-
spect we owe to his memory, this preamble
aud resolutions be published in one or more
of the county papers, and be placed upon
the Journal OF the society, and copy be
sent to the relatives Of the deceased

Eleven barrels of -four were found slowed
away in the cellar Of one family in Pitts
bufg, as fruit Of the robbery, at the time
Pittsburg was under mob rule. The fellow
who stole it was not a good communist, he
wasn't good ON a divide.
A Holiday sburg man recently obtained a
divorce and declared: some more I stand
erect, and assume the God-like attitude of
freedom and single man." Then he went

If the men who engage in secret order
work to raise funds, and secure organiza-
tion. for the purposes of strikes, would use
their funds and organization in business
that would prove to other people their su-
perior knowledge, or their better way of
business, they would win enduring repnia-
tion, and their system would be universally
followed but their purpose does not seem
10 be TO build up; thus far it has been ruin

Last Thursday two tramps walking on the
path by HorningtOwn apparently had
'sfsll out.'' Suddenly the one pushed the
other into the canal. The fellow got out of

showed him into the wafer. The assailant
fled, shouting ''Murder !" on down to aor-
gan's house, into which he rushed, closely
pursued by his dripping companion. He
did not stop in the house, but passed on
through, over a cradle in which a baby lay,
over a sewing machine that stood at an open
window, and out of the window, and over
picket fence that separated the house lot
from field, and across the field in the di-
rection OF Stambaugh's barn. The shout
of ssMurd er. Murder, He'll till me :" was
kept no all the while The fellow in pur-
suit said nothing but kept UP close chase.
When the barn was reached, : son Of Vert
Henderson was asked by the fleeing party
for pitch-foIk, to defend himself with
The boy refused to give the fellow a fork,
and told him TO stay out of the barn. The
tramp said he must get into the barn to hide
from his enemy, and into it he went. The
pursuer speedily came along and also en-
tered the barn, and that was the last that
was seen or heard of them until some time
afterwdrd when they emerged together, ap
pdrently on the most socisble of terms.
Those of the neighborhOod who Witnessed
the acts of the iramps believe it to have
been a ruse.
