How We CELEBRArED.-The 4th day of
July. A d. 1882, opened out cold, wet and
gloomy, and closed down gloomy, cold and
wet, chilly drizzlng rain falling through
ont the entire day The Somerset Post of
/ the g. A. X. had made arrangements for
celebrating the day in an enthusiastic man
ner. and had it not been for the very un-
propitious weather We doubt not that there
would have been an immense crowd of peo-
pie here, probably larger than on any for
mer like occasion. Notwithstanding the
rain and mud, at an early hour in the morn
ing our country cousins commenced pouring
into town and each incoming train brought
fresh arrivals until the crswd was swelled
so as TO number many hundreds. The pro-
gramme adopted for the days enjoyment
had to be entirely abandoned. At half
past o'clock the members of the c. A r.
met at their club room, and with the Farm
ers' Band of Somerset township, and the
I.ambertsville Band of Stonyereek town
ship, al their head, marched to the court
house, where quite large number of peo-
pie had congregated and where they were
entertained by patriotic addresses by y. L.
Trent and W. ii. koontz, Esqs., and by
music by the bands Owing to the general
gloom and dampness, both within and with
out the proud bird even failed TO scream
and come to time as was its usual want, and
in a short time the crowd dispersed to eat
ginger cakes and peanuts, drink pop and
small beer and pour out anathenas upon
the weather clerk for not awarding ms a
brighter day vhereon to celebrate the l06th
natal day of our independence. At about
8 O'Clock in the evening the incessant rain
tall let up for few moments when the man
aging committee took advantage of the lull
TO send off the fire works that had been pur-
chased for the occasion. The display was
haa ind h.a ts,l,t
spot in the general cleerlessness OF the day
During the discharge of the fire works the
only accident worthy OF note that occurred
was when Jacob Cook, filled with the laud-
and dispelling if possible, the feeling of de-
spondency and melancholy that pervaded
the crowd. attempted to hold jackson
cracker" in his hand after il had been
touched off, F" but even this failed of its in
tended purpose The effect on the crowd
WAS not noticeable, and Jacob to this day
carries his right hand, looking like unto a
raw beef steak, in sling. as a mark of his
self-sacrificing spirit If the celebration was
not success ii was owing to the weather
and not 10 the brass bands in attendance.
That they blew long, loud and frequently
throughout the day, without even stopping
for the accustomed drink. that when it rain
ed the hardest they played lively, patriotic
airs, and whenever there was n sign of the
skies clearing they changed to funeral dirges
and tunes that were mournful and solemn
all that heard them will willingly testify
There was a pleasing variety in their selec-
tions that tended somewhat to dissipate the
dull monotony of the day, and we hereby
tender them a vote of thanks for the great
amount of wind so eheerfully expended,
even if the desired object was not attained
The SELF-CoSFEssED MugDERER DENIES
