THE FoURTH.--The day was ushered in by
loud reports of fire crackers, At 8 80 a. m.
wagons, buggies and carriages were drawn up
in front of the NJ. E. Church, and the Sunday
School scholars of both schools embarked. The
procession moved from the square at O'Clock
a. IN, and proceeded to Palmyra. where they
were joined by number of Sabbath Schools,
and proceeded 70 the grove of Mr.. Orin Stevens
An opening address was delivered by Rev. T.
J. Kurtz, of Dceliield. which was followed by
music from the Palmyra Band. and good sing
ing by the different schools. Dinner being an
snOunced. all sat down and enjoyed u bountifui
repast; after which the schools were called to
order. The band played q few pieces OF their
excellent music. sfter which Rev. &. v. Wilson
delivered one of his veIy pleasant aud in
structivc addresses to the schools, which WIS
well received. Rev. Hanselman also spoke. his
subject and theme being temperance. the pre-
vailing vices of youth. and the abject slavery
caused by the use of tobacco and liquors. The

churches and Sabbath schools; recommended
that all barriers should bc broken down, the
cause Of Christ and Ills Kingdom advanced
thereby.
The singing by the schools was well rendered
The music of the band needs no comment. At

Mr.. John S. Wilson. We were surprised at the
ready responses given to questions asked. Be-
fore closing. Rev. Mr.. Casterline asked a mum
