Eds. Tel:-Scarcely a ripple has passed
over the quiet surface of our tranquil little
township for a long time. The change OF
our merchants few days ago produced a
little idle gossip, but all is now over.
and Mr.. Daniels has gone to Orwell, and
Mr.. Stone is here-how they will finally
relish the change remains to be seen.
Yesterday was the old Fourth, and being
Greek we had some trouble in making our
choice, but ''two is better than one" said
the wise man, and we soon found our old
friend, the Hon. L. S. Sherman, on the
stand. His great force as an orator need
not mention. The audience were held
spellbound for nearly two hours while the
orator poured out as great fundamental
political truths as the world ever listened
to. Old Greece and Rome were put under
contribution, but the great principles of
human rights and government were never
reached until our fathers declared them in
the Declaration of Independence in old
Philadelphia hall. l will not undertake to
give even synopsis cf this great speech,
but simply say that in conclusion the
speaker inquired as to the causes which led
to the overthrow of the great nations of

if we, as a nation, would shun, we would

world to appear before God.
The afternoon was mainly devoted to
well set speech by Mr. Pettibone. ESQ.
He opened with an apology and thought 1t

deeply embarrassed TO follow the greatest
orator that this State, or perhaps THE na-
tiOn ever listened to. The orator had evil
IDENTIFY marked out a somewhat similar
course occupied by his predecessor. But
it was soon evident that the speakers nerve
was equal to the occasion. He threw him
self into different parts of the same great
field, and for over an hour his auditors
were chained in breathless silence by the
clear ringing voice, and lasting truths
which came with an enuneiation and per-
fectlon of eloquence that took many of his
auditors little by surprise. But although
a GIddings, and a RanneY and the Wades
have left our forum a Northway, a How
land, Lee and Pettibone have arisen to
fill the places of these old honored and
stalwart pioneers. Nor would we be un-
mindful of many more who are pressing
forward with vigor, and are destined to
form part Of that galaxy of geniuses
which by the aid of mereiful providence
may yet long illumine the darkness of old
