Quite company met 10 w. Sykes
grove July 4th. The duet that we were
obliged TO encounter in getting there de-
tracted somewhat from the comfort OF the
occasion, but when once there the grove
was cool and pleasant. Rev. p. S. Pratt
made the opening prayer and was followed
by an address by Mr.. Brownell of Pown-
al, subject, Temperance. After lingering
a few moments for other speakers, who
we had hoped TO see present, the people
adjourned TO the table. The dinner was
excellent, the arrangements, / under
stand, were under the auspices of the
GOOD Templars," assisted By others.
After an hour or 50 of pleasant, social
converse, the company dispersed, The
street parade during the forenoon by a
of "Horribles," and the closing
up by fireworks in the evening, was all
gratifying TO the children, doubtless.
RUPERT.
The Glorious Fourth was observed |
in Rupert In very quiet aud becoming 1
manner. The farmer kept his field, the
mechanic kept his shop, and the mer-
chant kept his store during the day. In
the cool Of the evening after the domestic /
duties Of the day had been discharged /
and cares laid aside, nearly all our peo-
pie on the west side of the mountain,
joined by goodly number from adjoin-
ing towns, assembled on the grounds OF /
the Congregational society and partook /
OF an entertainment of ice cream aud I
lemonade served under the direction of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Thompson. After
The conclusion OF this entertainment
very fue display of fireworks was ex.
hibited, obtained and supervised by one
Of our patriotic townsmen. The display
Of fireworks commenced with the ascen-
sion OF a miniature balloon, AMI another
was sent up at the close. After a friend
" greeting of friends and neighbors all
quietly retired 10 their several homes.
Now If patriotism is TO be measured by
the amount OF powder burned, orstions
spoken, declarations read, and bad whis-
key guzzled down on the fourth day Of
July, Rupert may as well be counted out.
