Rushing down to the cabin, whose inmate they had so terribly frightened few minutes before, they took possession, and one of them attempting to sit on the edge of a large sled, he fell over back, and two limbs of the law waved majestically in the air, the owner being unable to extricate himself One of his companions seating him. self on the same edge of the sled to laugh at his unfortunate comrade immediately lost his equilibrium and found himself in a position to sympathize with him, heels up, and in that position they kicked and struggled for liberty, each calling the other damphool, until their first victim, taking pity on his luckless per secutors heaped coals of fire on their heads and pulled them out by the heels, when they gratefully drank up his jug of cider, and cautiously proceeded home by back way, agreeing not to scare anybody else that night.

;; How are our citizens going to celebrate the glorious fourth !? that day on which the national pulse beats high with the recollec- tf6ns of the glorious achievements ofour fore fathers and the revivifcation of that spirit of independence and love of liberty which alone stimulated the Revolutionary patriots in their unequal conflict for the everlasting establish ment of the supremacy of right over might; the day on which, one hundred and four years ago the death-knell of lordly oppression was sounded; the day on which '1icker' flows as freely as Canaan Mountain water through the fire hose which we haven't got ; the day on which somebody struck Billy Pat terson, and originated conundrum as unan- swerabfe as the question of Sandtown pater- nifty. These suspicious "reminiscences deserve special celebration, and while the fires of pat riotism are burning in the breasts of our more rural neighbors, who flock down off the noun tains fora peanut and gingerbread ''bust, :" and would no sooner labor on the fourth of July than Jockey Dick Decker would on any other day, are we going through with the
 
 regular routine of every day life and duty with no more deviation than Mark Twain's diary showed, which contained on every page: "Got up, washed, went to bed ?' We can't have a horse race, as the track is undergoing improvement; we can't parade cur fire company, as all the hose we have are hidden behind muslin folds; we can't have g balloon ascension as the ''gas" can neither be confined nor shut off; we dare not review oul police force, for Sandtown may feel disposed to come up and ''celebrate," and we wouldn't have lem get after our police for anything. We might get up a nice little picnic on the park. or have modest display of fireworks in the evening if nothing else As a village we enjoy the reputation among neighbors, O. being stupidly indifferent in matters of pub lie enterprise, but why this is thus it is diff cult to tell. There is wealth here-lots of it And it isn't all hidden under bushel neither but the fact is, these little matters effectini the public interest are looked upon ant sneered at as fol de-rol and bosh However that may be, the little hamlet where fol-de-ro and bosh is approved and patronized, stand head and shoulders, in the estimation of th travelling public, above the more sedate ant pretentious town that has no more claim t. enterprise than well kept burying ground.

The judges stand was moi quite completed, therefore the scales ofjustice had to be held on the ground.
 The meeting held at Dr. Camps office last Saturday night for the purpose of perfectine the organization and taking steps toward i'm proving the track, resulted in choosing the following officers for the ensuing year:
