' In response to previous announcement a large number of persons uf both sexes met here for the purpose ot celebrating the elorious old 4th of duly.' It was indafid unrrtrielnff to see so. many of our people out on so short notice and it being the busy part of the nusy season; oui anyway they came and every township was represented to a greater or less de gree; and by the time the people from the different sections had greeted each other with the usual gratalations, I the sudden firing of cannon forcibly reminded them of scenes and deeds of more than one hundred years ago. After the firing of several guns,' the ringing of the town bell announced that the hour for the ceremonies hadjirrived and the large crowd went to the Academy, where the exercises were to be held. Dr. W. T. Ennett, the chairman of the I committee of arrangements, called the meeting to order and said the exercises J wouid De opened oy prayer oy xvev. uw.
