MULLIcA HILL.

More quietness prevailed throughout this
town on the Glorious Fourth than for some
years. The Stars and Stripes floating to
the breeze from buildings and flag poles,
bore evidence that the day was remembered
and that true patriotism forever abides in
our midst. Many visitors spent the too
brief holiday here, in the refreshing beauty
and GOODNESS of this locality, and many a
prodigal sought rest in the 'sOld Home
stead.'' Only an occasional fire cracker
reminded US that the small boy was culti-
waiting his budding patriotism.
