The Celebration.

The celebration Of Independence Day
last Monday, at Williamsport, was sue
cess in every particular. The day, though
warm, was pleasant, and long before the
hour appointed for the beginning of the
exercises the town was full of people.
Large delegations were present from all
parts OF the county. The musical, part
tho opening prayer by Prof. Keim was
given with much feeling and IN words
we'll chosen. Mr.. Armstrong read the
Declaration In clear and distinct tones,
and there was perfect quiet and attention
throughout the reading. Mr.. Worsts
oration was able and eloquent. He was
attcntivcly listened to by the audience.
and at the close of his address was heart
lily applaudcd. Then an adjournment
was had to the baseball field, where Il
fivc-inning game was played between the
Chapmanville Holy Tcrrors and the Will
iamsport Air-Poundcrs. The latter won
by a score of 7 to 5. Commissioner Yeatcr
and red book Of rules acted as umpire,
and what one part of the combination
didn't know about base ball the other did,
and between the two the "ump' business
was done up in the highest style of the
art. After the ball game came the pony
races, as given in the program printed in
last weeks RECORD These were we'll
contested The first WAS won by Capt.
Cotton's gray pony; the Patterson pony,
from Winona, second. For the two.year-
old pony race two mares were entered.

and Donnie Stevenson, The former won
The third race Consolation pursc) was
taken by a Winona horse. In the foot
race tllcrt-wcre three starters, and il re,
suited Billy Stevenson, first; ; Frank
Parks, second Mark Wilson. third.
i; Then came the supper, to which full
justice was done.
Shortly after dark tie fun began with
the fireworks, and for half IN hour or so
sky rockets, Roman candles etc. held
the attention of people in general and the
little folks in particular
Dancing then began, and, to the strains
of sweet music, was kept up until day
light.
All the committees did well but spc,
cial praise is due the Misses Connor and
Taipc and Messrs. Dougherty and Con.
nor, of the Supper Committee, who la
bored unrcmittingly to make the refresh
mcnt feature a success X
Williamsport has reason to be proud of
her first Fourth of July celebration.

1t will thus be seen that there have
been but three dry or short-crop years
since the signal Office was established, in
ri, and that in six of those years the
rainfall for April and May was double
that of the corresponding months this
fa fail for @'i April qi and May IN g. u.s. 80
and so was greater, and that of '76 and
rs almost double that of 'S4. The aver
age rainfall during April, May and June
for the eleven years preceding '88 was
9:35 inches. We publish these figures so
that those settlers who have come in this
year can see that this is q season of phe-
nomenal dryness.

To the Editor of the RECORD.
A large crowd gathered at Schier's grove on
Saturday last to celebrate the Fourth of July,
Mr.. II. 5. Parkin and family and several others
from the Cannonball were present. Nearly every
one came up from the East settlement, many
came down from the reservation, and every one
had jolly. good time. A footraee took place
early in the day between Joe Robinson and
Frank Parks the latter winning by foot. The
race was 100 yards, and Was run in l13 seconds.
A pony race followed between Archambault's
Red Cloud and Barney Burhage's bay, Pride of
Erin. The latter won easily, and treated the OIL
lockers to display Of speed seldom seen outside
of professional r,sccs. During the afternoon
dancing was begun, and was kept up until the
hands on the clock told the merry people that
it was time to get ready to go to church. We
will long remember MIR and Mrs. Schicr for their
kindness and hospitality on the third day of
July, 1885. A NEIGHBOR.

afflicted with Phthisic, also Diabetes; the
pains were almost uncomfortable and would
sometimes almost throw him into convul-
sions. He tried Electric Bitters and goa
relief from first bottle and after taking six
bottles, was entirely cured, and had
gained in flesh eighteen pounds. Says he
positively belives he would have died, had
it not been for the relief afforded by Elec-
