missed to amuse themselves in ramb.
ling through the woods, where swings,
&C., were provided for them.
The older persons then took up the
programme. A large platform having
been erected for the occasion, and Sed-
don's string band of Philadelphia fur
nished music, while the hours of the
GLORIOUS fourth were spent in the
merry dance, till warned by the ap-
proach of shower of rain aboat o.
clock, to look for shelter from the ap-
preaching storm.
There were 500 or 600 persons pre-
sent and the dance sometimes engaging
8 sets.
As all Intoxicating drinks were pro-
hibtei by those having the manage
ment, there was good order and quiet
enjoyment throughout the day.
Ice-cream, which was furnished by
the wagon load, melted away among
the many thirsty mouths, rendered
more thirsty by the excitement Of the
exercise, and the heat Of the weather,
as snow before the summer sun. And
the supply was used up before the
pleasures Of the day came to a close.
Rockland, having failed to provide a
for the day, was nearly de-
serted at an early hour, but of the few
who remained, party repaired to an
adjoining grove armed with barrel of
beer and whiled away the sunny hours
of the fzzing, foaming, froth-
ing beverage.
Among the great Improvements, and
Innovations OF time honored usages,
may be noticed that of the recent Or
,anizing of choir in the Greenhill
Presbyterian Church, which Is under
he pastorate of Rev. Mr.. Moore. Be.
ng composed mostly of young persons,
.he music is sweet, and when exper-
ence shall have added more confidence
o aid the performers We may expect
inc music from them, Judging from
he commencement, and the venerable
pastor Seems strengthened and supper
ed by the Improvement as also the ,
congregation is gratifed and benefited.
