A Pleasant Party.

On the evening of the Fourth last, after
the picnicers had adjourned from the groves,
a small party of merrymakers took the resi-
dence of Miss Parks by storm, and that ac-
complished lady, assisted by Mrs. Chapman
and daughter, Mrs. Parker, entertained the
company right royalty. After a highly en-
tertaning musical, the party adjourned from
the parlors TO the croquet grounds and ham
mocks, where, in the former, the gentlemen
displayed their gallantry by letting the
ladies win every game, but meeting them
halt way in the latter, where soul meets soul
on the linpid waves of estate feeling and
hearts touch hearts through electric glances
and emotions of rapture are blended into
one. As twilight gathered up her crimson
skirts and blushed herself into darkness, the
different groups were called again into the
house, where they INDUCED in music. sing
ing and social games, after which bounti-
ful lunch was spread, to which all did ample
Justice Good byes were said nj an appro-
PIRATE hour, with cordial invitation eS-
tended TO all to come again.

Farm Pointers.

How to kill insects on your squash and
melon vines: The first thing requisite is To
have good supply of ,oads. Take four
bricks, place them upon the ground near the
hills, so as to form n square with an opening
for Mr.. Toad to 90 out and in at his pleasure.
Dig out little following on the inside aud
make the ground mellow so that the toad
NAV burrow himself in the dirt. He will
soon learn that this Is his home, and he will
soon begin to make war upon the striped
pests OF the vines.
Cultivation Of peanuts Plant them in
hills two and onc.half feet apart and for
tcct between the rows. Cultivate same as
corn. leaving wide ridge for the vines TO
spread on. There is no use TO cover the
vines as the blossoms do not make the nuts.
Keep foulness down. This is all that is nee
essary. Do not plant till the ground is
warm.
Destroy cut worms: Get some saltpeter-
put a good, large table spoonful in pail OF
water Let /, stand through the day. and AT
or near sundown or early morning put IA lit
tie Of the water on the hills around the plant
enough to wet the ground. As the worms
work at nigh, and 20 down in the morning,
they will never rise again. Ashes and lime
sprinkled over the vines is also a good rem

Horticultural Meeting.

Delta county has attained reputation OF
being one Of the first on the lis; as agri-
cultural and fruit growing section. No one
can deny it, and nothing can stop its pro-
gress. To promote the interests Of horticult-
ure. a society has been organized, of which
nearly all are cognizant. At these meetings
which are to be held every three months,
subjects Of interest to every ranchman will
be. e.discussed-persons can tell what they
have learned through profitable or nnprnti-
table experiences, and we can not only learn
what We do not know but tell others what
We do know, and thereby promote the asri-
cultural aud fruit growing interests of our
county. The meeting announced for last Sat
ur,lay has been adjourned to meet Saturday
next, July llth, at O'Clock sharp A large
attendance is desired. aad large attendance
is expected. Come, and bring your wives /;

The Fourth At smith's Fork.

One hundred and nine years have passed
since the Declaration of Independence was
signed and our foreiathers declared to the
world that these states should be free and in
dependent. Although the heroes who signed
that memorable document have passed
away, the citizens of Smith, Fork and vicin.
ity showed that they have not forgorten
them, but are filled with that love Of coun-
try for which they fought, bled and died.
The celebration Of the day was under the
auspices of the Smiths Fork Literary Asso-
citation. A grove was cleared out for the oc-
casion by Mr.. Morrow between the school
house and the bridge, on the south side ofthe
river. From early morning the stars and
stripes hoated over the park and about a.
III. the first wagon drove upon the grounds
during the forenoon ladies and gentlemen,
in holiday attire, could be seen driving and
walking TO the scene, some of which dis
played the banner or Liberty to the breese.
Large aud small boys made the air resound
with the sound o; fre.crackers. Before noon
there were over one hundred persons on the
grounds, and several were heard TO say that
it made them think of the good old times
back East. At II o'clock a. m. Mr.. Harry
Grant. chairman of the committee on man
agement, nominated Mr.. J. d. Morrow as
presiden: of the day and was unanimously
elected, after which the performances Of the
day began by singing the hymn America
Harry Grant then read the Declaration OF
Independence, after which the president in
troduced the orator Of the day, Mr.. +. $.
Fluke, who, in a masterly manner, treated
on the causes of the Rebellion and showed
the progress that had been made in the
Union during the last one hundred and nine
years. The song. Red, White and Blue"
was then sung by the choir. Messrs. IL. ID.
Flukc and A. Mcneil then followed and de-
livsred patriotic speeches. The literary per.
furmance now being over, All internission
WAS announced for dinner. A. the ladies
began to unpack the good things, what they
and their bachelor friends bad prepared for
the occasion, and spread them a table put up
for that purpose, - stampede took place to-
ward that section Of the grounds, and before
long any causual observer could see that the
forenoon performances had in no way weak
.ned the appcti;es OF those present, but every
one was prepared TO show to the most unbe-
lieyiug what our Colorado air could do in
the way Of An appetizer. After dinner those
who wished TO trip the light fantastic did 50
to the dulcet strains OF music rendered by
kent up until a late hour in the evening,
when all dispersed we'll satisfied with the

cannot speak for everyone and say that all
had good time, as that would be too broad
an assertion Ia make, bnt the way the good
citizens punished the free lemonade by the
barrel full. spoke louder than wor,lS-actions
always do. Afier everyone was oiled with
the innocent beverage, song of greeting
was sung by the River Side Grove Sunday
school: then came "old America after
which Rev. l.. c. Alley delivered the oration
of the day. and who spoke in an able manner
in regard to our grand old Republic, the
danger it is in occasioned by political brih.
cry, intempcrance and ilitcracy, and how
the Sunday school can he used as power to
avert the coming evils. At IL o'clock bask-
cts without number were brought forth from
whence we do not know, but they were
there aud well filled too After dinner Rev.
l., c. Alley called the Horticultural meeting
TO order. A number who were to give in
papers on different subjects failed TO appear,
aud rs many little ones and others who were
not particularly interested were present, it
was decided to adjourn the meeting until
Saturday next Speaking from the different
clcrgymcn present was listened to, Mcssrs.
