PTTSFIELD. A fine program was arrang-
ed for the Fourth in Pittstield but it was
not carried out on account of the rain,
which fell copiously nearly all day. The
fantasies, however, got in their parade be-
tween showers and made a fine appearance
in their line, if anything horrible can be
called fine. There We're one Or two sack
races on Main street, the usual firing of
guns and crackers, but the best thing of the
day We're the speeches by Hon. S. l.. Milf
ken of Belfast and Rev. j. Nj. Frost of Ban
gor. A chorus of forty-tive young ladies
dressed in white, each wearing red and
blue sash bearing the name of one of the
States of the Union, were arranged on rails
ed seats extending across the rear of the
stage and surrounding young lady repre-
senting the goddess of Liberty, with Mr.. r.
A. Conant representing Uncle Sam, as
chorus director, and little Dwight Kimball
dressed in the national colors and carrying
banner bearing the legend, "The Terrific
ries, we are coming" seated on either side
of the stage, presenting beautiful and in
'f'OOoe-SAS' oAAO oN'>t3S VIZ
speakers, the clergymen of the village, some
of the prominent citizens and Hon. F. W.
Hovey, chairman OF the meeting, who pre-
sided in his usual happy manner After
prayer by Rev. G. L. White and music by
the band the addresses were listened to
with much interest. A large number of
people repaired to the park to witness the
Il. I. L..
account of the frequent heavy showers. The
Trades procession and several other inter
esting features of the program We're given
up on account of the rain. The bicycle pa
rade, the trotting, fireworks, etc, were
postponed until Saturday, the 18th, and as
the day bid fair to be pleasant large crowd
again assembled and nearly all of the pro-
gram was satisfactorily carried out with
only one or two slight showers, but enough
to Brighten many away from the grounds
The evening was pleasant and hundreds of
people assembled in convenient places to wit
ness the fireworks which were pronounced
by many to be very fine. Of course there
was more OR less liquor sold, and there was
search and seizure at our hotel and quite
large quantity of the ruins beverage Sc
cured. We have strong men and women
here who are bound to test the strength Of
the law and to know whether there is any
use in making laws OF not One man, who
came from some other place, it was hard
telling from where, hired shop to sell
fruits, ETC.. for the 4th, but was shut up, and
himself and a woman claiming to be his
wife lodged in the lookup the first night
they We're here. They did not stop here to
sell out their goods. Our temperance forces
are increasing from week to week and we
have host of Loyal Temperance Legioners
who are coming up to fight against intern
perance, and through them we hope and ex-
pect to see our fair village freed entirely
from this blghting CURSE. Work in our
shops and mills is rather dull at present..

last week. He is spending a few weeks
with old friends in Palmyra and Hartland
and has just returned from a visit to friends
in Clinton, Lewiston and Auburn. Auburn,
formerly Danville, was his birthplace, and
what seems very singular circumstance is
that the house in which he was born, and all
the buildings connected with it, look just the
same as they did when he left there sixty
nine years ago, when he was ten years old.
