The Fourth Of july Celebration.


The sun shone out bright and clear
on the morning of the 4th, and every
thirg looked rs though it was going 10
b, a beautiful day. by ten o'clock
the st, It's were thronged with people,
and the spirit Of patriotism seemed to
dwell in the breasts of Ill. The pro-
gramme for the day was commenced
by the firing of 100 guns at sunrise,
under the command of Major North
floss. The next thing on the pro.
gramme was the street parade, headed
by the Wadena Cornet Band "A
beautiful carriage followed next to
the band carrying the '1nvincibles. !"
Their costumes were too utterly utter
for any thing, ana their performances
exceedingly graceful. After the pro-
session had marched through the
principal streets, they fetched up in
front OF the rink, in which large
crowd had already gathered to listen
to the speaking and other exercises of
the day. The rink WAS nicely deco
Hted, we'll provided with seats and "A
coed platform erected for Il speakers

by music by the Cornct Band. A
prayer was then offered by the Rev.

which the Declaration of Ihdepend-
ence was eadiby p. V. Cop,ernoll,

few preliminary remarks, Mr.. Allen
struck off on to very able and we'll

one Of the best ever delivered in Wa
dena, lie is a very fluent speaker,
uses good language and delivers with
emphasis and meaning. His address
was Il truly patriotic one, and did not
run off into politics nor any side.show
business. Our people were well
pleased with the Grafton and we. trust
that this will not be the last time that
we shall be permitted to hear Mr.. AL.
len. Another song by the cllo;r, and
the exercises at the rink were brought
to a close, and the. crowd dismissed
until after dinner, to meet at 1880 ia
Peake's Hall, where toasts would be
responded to. After going out of the
rink we found, to our great displeas-
IRE, that it was raining. After din
