From BelIeVieW.

The Fourth was a very quiet
day. A few people from this
point attended the picnic at Bis
marck, while many remained at
home and amused themselves in
various ways. The writer accom-
panied by Otto F. P, spent the
forenoon out in the forest, gath
erirg huckleberries. Returning
home at 1870 A. NJ, after a four
hours ramble over the hills we
found that we had an unusually
good appetite, which was soon
satisfied by doing justice to an ex-
cellent dinner. Dinner being over,
we brought from it's long-resting
place Old Glory, which we unfurl-
ed to the gentle breeze, and as we
sat for hours watching it wave
majestically, how our mind ran
backward through the dim vista of
1872 years to the events that brought
forth such a grand emblem of
liberty! AS we older grow, learn
ing much more from experience
than from historical events, we al
ways feel like taking our hats off
to Old Glory.
The hearts of many farmers were
gladdened Friday morning by the
fact of a very good rain, which
was badly needed. Corn in many

potatoes.
