as they reviewed the great events that
have become IA part of the history OF
our country.
A sumptuous repast was spread in
the grove, to which all did ample jus
tice, e,-and as the sun from low down
in the western sky looked on the world
with glorious eye, the multitude re-
turned to their homes somewhat
wearied with the enjoyments of the day,
yet cheered by the assurance that OF
the bright satellites of all nations,
America has the planet star.
The speakers of the day were Messrs.
Edgecumbe, Berka and Swarthout,
who were each in turn applauded to
the echo, as they uttered stirring words
of eloquence. 'Twould be invidious

its of their productions, as each did

The morning of the 105th Anniver-
sary of our Country's Independence
dawned bright and beautiful; gentle
breezes famed the verdant groves of
oak and pine; and, from perfumed
flowers, came laden with odors sweet
as the balmy breath of June among
groves of lilac and orange. The sweet
voiced songsters Of the wood Joined
their glad songs of freedom with the
oog humdndS of grateful people to

people assembled on the shores of

to make this the maddest, merriest day
of all the glad days that have come

woods and sailing on the lake consti-
tuted the chief amusement of the lit
tie folks, while the older ones RECALLED
themselves on ice cream and lemonade,
and listened to the eloquent speakers
