cold, wet day, rain falling almost in torrents
from o clock in the morning until late in the
afternoon. No public demonstration was
contemplated, but nearly everybody had plan
ned some pleasure for the day, on picnic,
excursion or in other manner. The Rifle As
sociatisn had contemplated match at their
range, and it, too, was interfered with.
At night, however, the display of fire works
was greater than on any previous Fourth for
some years. Everybody's patriotism found
vent in the explosion of powder, and for n
time Main street. from Centre to Court, was
ablaze with colored lights, rockets, fire crack

Owing to absence of some Of the members

serenade.

some places the hoppers literally swarm in
beds several inches deep, frequently clogging
and stopping the mower.
