The Fourth at Perry.

Accepting the very kind invitation to
ride to Perry and witness the celebration
there, we joined the crowd that wended
their way to that beautiful little village.
The place is situated on the G. & G. Il
Railway, and is to all appearance thriving
finely. The country about the village is
a rich agricultural region, and finer farms
more thoroughly cultivated we have not
seen in the State. The wheat fields now
nearly ready for the sickle are almost
uniformly the equal of any that have been
seen in Michigan for many years, and one
week more of fine weather will ensure TO
the farmers Of Southern Shiawassee as
good yield of wheat as they ever had
The grass crop, too, despite the many pre-
dctions to the contrary is very heavy, and
if well secured there will be an abundant
supply of good hay for next winters use
Corn along the route to Perry is doing
finely, but is about three weeks late, and
looks little diminutive for this time of
the year, on the contrary we never saw
oats and barley when they gave promise of
better returns, and every appearance in
dicates large crop of early potatoes and
an abundant supply of every kind of fruit.
We arrived at Perry q little late, and
consequently failed to be in time to wit
ness the civic parade or to attend the
opening exercises at the stand, but we ua-
derstand they were of the usual order, and
that the Declaration of Independence was
read in very impressive manner by Rev
Mr. Strong, who, also, officiated as chap
lain. But we were in time to listen to the
scholastic, able and instructive Grafton of
Hon. VIM. M. Fitzpatrick, present State
Senator from the 18th Senatorial District,
than which we have never heard one more
appropriate, and we noted that it was
listened to with much more than ordi
nary attention, Notwithstanding the fact
that it encroached largely on the dinner
hour, and the people were, as they always
are on such occasions, desperately hungry.
The afternoon was spent in the manner
usual on such occasions. The dancing
booths seemed to be well patronized. The
walking match attracted considerable at
tention, and the match game of base ball
reported in last ISSUE between the Un-
knowns Of Owosso, and the Perry club
was exciting, and attracted large atten-
dance of spectators.
We judge there must have been about a
thousand people present during the day,
and the arrangements were SO perfect that
all were amply supplied at very small ex-
pense, including most excellent dinners
furnished, among other parties, by the
ladies of the Congregational, Methodist
and Baptist societies. We did not stay to
witness the display of fire works in the
evening, but understand the show was as
good as could reasonably be expected, and
that all in all the day passed off very
pleasantly, and to the entire satisfaction OF
all interested. Personally we return our
thanks. to the officers of the day, and
especially to d. d. Dunning Esq, the
President for courtesies extended.

band has lost many men. Spioehoe aud
party have gone into the Cherokee Nation,
but he expects to return again and keep up
the disturbance. Reinforcements are hast-
ening to Okmulke to protect the Capitol.
Capt. Bates with detachment Of United
States troops are also there and the SOL
diers have been ordered to Infanta where
there isa good deal OF excitement, and
many women and children have
been sent sent away fur safety. The
troubles grew out Of the old political
divisions Of the tribe into what Is known
Us loyal and disloyal parties during the
war, Spiochoe Is now at the head Of the
loyal party, or what has been known us the
Sands faction, and Chiotio is tho principal
chiei Of the Nation and OF course at the
head OF the party in power. He has some
eight hundred armed lnen under him and
Spiochoe is said 10 be nearly us strong.
