MEMORABLE FOURTHs.
| Famous Celebrations of the Glorious
Dny OF Freedom.

The most memorable Fourth was OF
course that historic day when &c men,
assembled in the hall of the statehouse
at Philadelphia, decided after a hot
and stormy debate that the 10 colonies
Of America We're and of right ought to
be free and Independent. The first
celebration took place in Philadelphia
four days after the adoption of the
Declaration. That particular Sth of
July OF the year 17T6 is described by
one Of the immortal signers of the
Declaration as being IA warm, sun
shiny morning" and it was in the yard
OF the statehouse that John Nixon reao
the new and original Declaration. The
great assemblage OF people gave three
repeated huzZas," we are told and the
kings coat of arms was torn down
The proclamation was read again be
fore each of the five battalions ON the
common Of the old Quaker City, and
in the evening bontires were lighted
bells were rung and cannon We're dis
charged.
In New York the next day, July 0
Washington himself took part in the
celebration of the first Fourth. The
Declaration was read in the presence
of the army, and the populace gave
vent TO their feelings in cannon firing
bell ringing and bonfire making. En-
thusiasm, in fact ran so high that the
people tore down the statue of KinG
George Ill from its place in Bowling
Green and beheaded and melted the
same, much to the satisfaction of thu
soldiery, whom only stern discipline
had deferred from so doing.
There was no telegraph in those ear
" days, and it took the good news some
time to reach Boston. 1t was the 1Stl
of July before the intelligence wa
brought by messenger, and, though
somewhat belated in celebrating Amer
ica's first Independence day, those ear
ly Bostonans were none the less en-
thusiastic at the thought Of havinI
thrown off the burdensome Englisl
yoke. They had no statue of Kim
George to break up, but did the mex
best thing by tearing down the liol
and unicorn from the east wing Of tn
statehouse, and in the evening Their
was general illumination, with nue.
,,,o,ev-t, IN - king on the Common.

INDEPENDENCE DAY.
old Tire observances of the Fourth
In New England.

So many of the most important
events of the Revolutionary war and
OF the casual occurrences which gave
rise TO it transpired in New England
that for many years after John Adams
wrote his famous letter prophesying
the manner in which Independence
day would be celebrated the fuldllment
of that prophecy was perhaps more
marked upon New England soil than
in any other part of the country.
Among the people of that section the
Fourth of July or Independence day,
as it was generally called, took the
place of other holidays which stern
Puritanism severely frowned upon,
and a large degree of the general jolli-
flcation OF Christmas and New Years,
not being wholly absorbed by the great
New England holiday of Thanksgiv-
ing. was mingled with the patriotic
feryor aroused by Independence day
and found vent in various social fes-
tivities, both Of a public and private
character. Indeed, many projected
wedding parties and other social gath
