And smooth his rufled crest;
No more the mighty chorus rings

The glorious Fourth has passed away
And joyful spirits meet
Where Peace and Thrift their gifts display,
The glorious Fifth to greet
All hail, oh, glorious Fifth, to thee;
In contrast let US view

When visited by you;
The crackers. torn, bereft Of sound,
The rocket, shorn Of sail,
All send the peaceful toast around
"Good, glorious Fifth, all hail!'

| up to tie windows as close as they could
so as To hear. Nearly every window was
filled by those outside, aud some came
who could not get near the church at
all and went home. Tho church was
! tastefully trimmed, aud the participants
acquitted themselves in a very credit
able manner The following was the
order of exercises. Opening with music
from praise in song, My Fathers Care

ing by the superintendent and the school

would by your PERMISSION occupy a
small space in your paper to write few
words OF warning 10 the voters oi the
9th district and Indeed to all the voters
OF Cecil county. Being life long
Democrat | am sorry | am compelled to
change my way of voting this fall. My
reasons however are good. In fact
have no faith in the ticket that my party
has made this time. have been told
that the reason Mr.. Il. L. Thomas voted
so many Republicans at he late primary
was, that he promised the OILERS il be
should be nominated he would have the
pound law abolished, and with this
promise he brought men and bows OF all
parties to the primary to vote for him
Inc Judges rejected quite large num-
Der OF votes that they knew were Repuh
lIcanS. But he managed to run in about
80 81 40 Illegal votes. He was approach
ed some days ago, and asked the ques-
ton why it was he was so anxious to 90
the legislature again VIXEN there was no
pay in 1t to justify him in leaving his
business. His answer was that he
wanted to go, because there was to be
some important legislation this winter
and he wanted to be there. But III nv

arrival in North East a lew days ago of
Messrs. Allen, Frank Brice and Grant.
all officers connected with the Penusyl
vauia railroad. Now it appears Mr.. c.
Z. Crothers ana Mr.. X. l.. Thomas are
especially anxious to serve the people of
Cecil. But if they should be elected
then look out for voting that will be in
the interest of the above corporation.
lhey made an awful fuss about Mr..
Writ because he happened to be the
attorney of the b. 6 O. r. r. Well fell
low Democrats have your eyes open and
also your ears. 1t was given out some
i've or six weeks before the primary
that one thousand dollars would be spent
in the Fifth district. 1t did not turn out
to be lie for there were lots of it. The
great mystery is now where did it come
from? We all know it was not Mr.,
Thomas money. Where did all the
money come from that " as used by the
Crothers party? We believed at the
time and believe now, it was the Penn
sylvania Railroad Co.'S, money. Now
since The officers of that company have
become so numerous about here, and SO
friendly with the present nominee we are
couhdent where the money came
from. We have read in your parer of
late issue, that the name of John L.
Moore has been mentioned as a probable
candidate on the Republican ticket for
the Legislature. He will be well taken
care of by The Fifth district, for he is a
good fellow, well known in this county,
having been in public business for more
than 20 years. And we will do all we
can to help clecg him Ii the Republicans
Will nominate a coed reliable ticket it
can be elected.
