correspondence
The Fourth of July was observed
here in Brimfield by an old d-fashion-
ed celebration" The occasion was
one long TO be remembered by all who
had the pleasure of being present. In
viiatiOns were extended to citizens OF
our neighboring townships, many OF
which were well represented. Quite a
large delegation came up from Suffi cid.
headed by the Citizens Band of that
place. The Town Hail was beauti-
fully decorated with evergreens, flow
ers, notices and pictures. Oyer the
main entrance of the hall on the out
side was the word independence
in large evergreen letters. Under this
was the likeness Of George Washing
ton, snrmonnted with Lfiags of our
Nations. There was also an arch
erected over the south gage, under
which was the word Welcome"
in evergreen. About l o'clock p. m.
large picnic dinner was served under
n large bower, located on the grounds
east of the park. After dinner /. III.
Phelps, Esq, and Hon. j. ID. Horton,
of Ravenna, delivered orations, in a
few and well put words, always ap-
propriate to the spirit aud patriotism
of the occasion. DIR. A, M. Sherman,
of Kent, followed the speakers by
reading the Declaration of Independ-
ence. The exercises were concluded
by music from the Brimfield and Suf-
field bands.
An ice cream and lemonade bazar
was located on the grounds, which
was kept in operation during the day
and evening, netting the very liberal
sum of $94. The money to be expend-
ed for the purpose of purchasing
equipment to be used for lawn fetes,
festivals, etc. There was quite an as
semblege of people on that occasion,
considering the extreme warm wealth
er and busy season of the year. Every
thing passed off very quietly and Or
derly, Notwithstanding, some irregu-
larity on the part of the committee.
Harvest and haying is in all its glo-
ry at present. The wheat is msnstrous
large in some fields, more so than it
has been for number of years.
Mr.. r, Roberts has received fine
lot OF combing wool, which is in store
at his warehouse in this place, to the
amount of 40,C0o pounds. Mr.. j. 7.
Williams has also been engaged in
the business and has on hand large
lot.
Mr.. B. j. Boyne, of Rootstown has
been among us soliciting for a select
school to commence in this place
about the 18th Of August next. Mr..
BOyne is well known in our place, and
it is hoped he will be successful as he
is very good and efficient teacher.

THE 1O2d anniversary Of our Nation
al Independence will long be remem-
bered as one of the most quiet FOurths
in the history Of the town. Most Of
the business places were closed and
the streets wore Sunday-like appear
ance. Even the usual excitement and
annoyance incident to the crack, snap
aud scizzle Of the pesky fire. crackers
was lacking, the supply of those in
dispensable implements of juvenile
patriotism gave ont at AN early hour
in the day. But there was no lack of
patriotic demonstration. Everybody
celebrated, and there was scarcely q
limit TO the number of picnic parties,
that appearing to be the most econOm-
ical manner of giving expression to
ones patriotic impulses these hard
times. One of these parties gathered
at Sandy Lake, another at Muzzy, and
still another at Barrel Run !; while our
Catholic fellow citizens had day of
rational enjoyment at the FairGrounds
We hear of mo incidents worthy of
note and no accidents of serious
character. On the whole the day
passed off very pleasantly, though
many doubtless would prefer to have
had an s.old fashioned celebration
one in which the patriotism of the
people would have found expression
in large crowd, amid the booming of
cannon,the waving of flags, the strains
of music and the shouts and huzzas of
the excited populace. But those who
have usually had such matters in
charge have come to- think that to
them, at least, the fun hardly covers
the cost.

A MOST yillainOus outrage was per-
petrated upon the residence of Mr..
Robert Reed on South Chestnut street,
last Friday night after twelve o'clock.
A black dye was thrown upon the
front, completely smearing it from top
to bottom. The dirty fluid went
through the chamber window, staining
the bedding aud floor and castings of
the room. Mr.. Reed is an old aud re-
spected citizen, nearly fOur-scOre years
of age, and this act of vandalism is an
outrage without pallistiOn or excuse,
and the perpetrator deserves to be
made to pay severe penalty for it. 1t
is the second time Mr.. Reed has suf-
fered from like outrage. He thinks
he knows the gully party and is bound
to demand legal protection and ie-
drees.
