the appearance of holiday. The excur-
sionists from Fulton and the ncighboring
sections, filled our streets, arraycd in their
best garments and seemingly bent on see
ing all the sights our metropolis affords and
of enjoying themselves to the utmost, The
great body oft them GRO scd to the other
side of the river on the fcrryboat Three
States at about four o'clock in the after
noon. The party, it is said, numbered be-
tween eight and nine hundred persons.
AT private meeting of committee of
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
held at the foot of the steps leading to the
hall of the club, yesterday afternoon a
lady was overheard to say something about
$40, and from this it is inferred that the
sum mentioned indicates the profits of the
entertainment given by the ladies on Tues
day evening last. OF course the inference
may be mistaken one, and if it is we
will chccrfully afford space for its corroc-
ton.
AT the Methodist church the services
will be unusually interesting this morning
and afternoon ,as it is a children's day, and
will be properly observed bya short sermon
to the children in the morning and song
service at three o'clock in the afternoon.
There will he no services at night. The
music furnished for the day will consist of
anthems, quartets, duets and solos by the
choir, special songs by the children and
choruses by the choir.
We have received from MeSsrS p. Lor-
lizard & Co., of New York City, specimen
of their tin tag plug tobacco, For ourselves
We cannot abide the use of tobacco in any
shape; we look upon it as one of the relics
of slavery, to be Stunned by every one who
aspres to purity in morals and upright
ness in those little characteristics the sum
of which constitute perfection in man. But
we have about us several young men who
are ambitious to distcnd and puff out their
Jaws, in imitation of the chipmunk, and
who can expectorate with the precision and
dcxtcrity of Bunsby. To their tender
mercies we turned over the plug, and they
pronounced it free from all authorizations
or pernicious ingredients, and made from
the choicest cured leaf, with pure licoricc
1t is having great run everywhere.
Preparations are in progress TO make
the celebration Of the coming Fourth of
July eclipse all former occasions. Besides
the Mystic Krew programme, fireworks,
races, etc. efforts are being made to secure
an orator of more than pop-gun Calibrc.
BY the way, we observe with pain, that the
reading of the Declaration of Independence
has by some unaccountable oversight been
omitted from the features of the day. Have
we no elocutionary talent. or if We have
shall it be allowed to slumber and bring
forth no fruit, The reading never fails to
convert Republicans who possess a glimmcr
of sense to Democracy, and consequently to
virtue and sobricty. Let our best and most
cultivated lung power be secured at once
for this important service. If dramatic
ability can be added to stcntorian voice
and commanding presence. We predict a
sensation. Have we this rare combination
in one person among us,
