With the earnest toll of the seeker. The
Did liberty bell, true to its motto, pro-
Claimed liberty to the nation and to all
the inhabitants thereof. The professions
of all kinds are represented and filled rs
ably as III any part of the country. Ed
ucrtional facilities are not exceeded in
any of the older states and It looks as
though we were on Il career of prosperity
that will land us high up, If not at the
hta Of the glorious column.
LIE" THE People REJOICE.
We arc here today to celebrate in our
humble way the 1l4th anniversary of our
nations birth. Our Numbers are not
large but they represent many nations
and many portions of the country, and
the spirit of patriotism is probably rs
strong as in other parts of the country.
This is the day of all others in which we
are supposed to throw all cares away and
partake of the cheer provided-let us cut,
drink, dance and be merry. There is
something else of which l would speak
though not perhaps connected with the
general subject, that is the ladies of the
camp They are here with their hus-
bands and friends to share In their joys
and sorrows, their prosperity aud adver-
sity. Their presence is not only a bless
ing to their husbands and other relatives
but a benefit to the camp in general, for
1t takes the roughness, that would other
wise exist, from the life Of the %plospectof
and miner and makes II smooth and
PHEASANT, and | am unable to see why the
ladies' OF this camp are not entitled to as
much honor as those who first came to
our eastern shores, and in conclusion |
propose three cheers for the ladies of
Clendenin.
Speeches we're also made by younger
members of the community noticeable
among which were the remarks by Judge
Leroy, MI. Ferns and Mr.. Foster. Such
were features of the day.
On the completion of the feast of
reason and flow of soul, the chairman
announced that horse racing was the next
entertainment. The racing was exciting
and spirited with the following result:
First r~ace--oLe-half mile darh, best
two heats IN three. First horse, $50;
second horse, $50; third horse, SEQ. Harry
Ellis roam Ike won the race with Hank

There were 10 starters in the pony race
A one-mile dash, best two in three fol

$15.
Judge LeRoy's Blackie won the rae.
with Jack Roberts buckskin second and
Pete Mays Keno, third. The stakes
were $40, 1875 and SIS.
Foot racing and other sports followed
in which Al Hockett, W. j. Roberts
James Northup and John Mailman came
out the winner, Postmaster Lilly acting
as judge.

cross one of the railroad bridges across
the Belt creek on horseback. Both he
and the horse went of and fell into the
stream, striking huge Jagged rocks and
sustaining frightful injuries. He was
taken abroad the train and it was thought
best to take him to Great Falls where he

The prairie land which covers con-

swamp is very remarkable formation,
and is, am told, peculiar to this swamp.
It is open land, entirely free from tim
Der, and stretching away as far as the
eye can reach In every direction. II has
most Of the characteristics of huge in
land sea except the waves. Interspersed
here and there In this huge prairie are
small patches Of high, dry ground Of
variable size and heavily timbered, called
COW houses | am unable to ascertain
the prophecy Of this name, unless ut be
that the CATTLE deer and other animals
seek these places for shelter and to get
out of the water.
The surface Of these prairies is COW
cred with deposit Of decayed vege-
tation that has been accommodating for
centuries, and is called muck. This
varies IN thickness from four to ten
feet, with water beneath, and below the
water sand. This singular formation
gives 10 the swamp Ito name Of Trem-
bling Earth. It will support the weight
of the average man il he keeps moving
onward, but IL he pauses an instant he
commences to sink, and may go through
