A Rochester boy was stung on the end

There .Mould be a general inspection

A Grceuc county hen last week laid an

inches lung with head poised for a blow. That

hen. lay copperhead eggs.
Historical orations were not delivered
at any of the celebrations in Huntingdon county
on the Fourth of July. That field was left, by
common consent, to Milton S. Lytle, esq., whose
full and comprehensive work upon the history of
the county, is now in the hands of the printer.
It is stated that the burning of brush
.after night is in violation of a statute of this State,
and a penalty of $5O is attached in case the law
is disobeyed. This item of information may be of
interest to some of our rural readers. We pre
sume the idea is that there is danger of the flames
spreading to fences or buildings, and also of burn
ing the woods in the vicitOty.

In a recent issue of the JOURNAL we
noticed a challenge by some billiard player, in
Tyrone, offering to play any man in Blairor Cam
bria counties, and asked to have Huntingdon in

Our arrows the street neighbor, Bub.
Westbrook, has leased the grove immediately in
the rear of the fair grounds, on the banks of
Crooked Creek, and intends fixing it up in good
style for picnics and oth ,r gatherings. A large
and substantial platform, for dancing purposes,
will be erected immediately, where the followers
of Terpsichore can "trip the light fantastic too"
two or three evenings of each week during the
season. "Fun ahead."
The following post offices have been es
tablished in this county : East Broad Top, with
Oliver E. Cook, postmaster ; Paradise Furnace,
Alonzo Trexler, postmaster, and Trough Creek,
Clarence 11. E. Plummer, postmaster. Those arc
excellent appointments, and the establishment of
these offices will prove a great convenience to the
people in their respective neighborhoods. We
hope that each postmaster will proceed to raise a
large Hot for the JOURNAL at once.
A woman, named Morningstar, who re
sides at "the old Mill," on the opposite side of the
river, in the "narrows," about one and a halt'
miles west of this place, was bitten by a copper
head on Monday of last week. The snake had
found its way into the house, and while she was
attending to her household duties stepped upon
it, when it bit her on the foot. She suffered con
siderably, but. under medical treatment soon re
covered from the effects of the virus.
Milton S. Lytle, esci accomplished the
task of preparing a history of Huntingdon coun
ty, and having it ready for the printer before the
Fourth of July. The work is complete in its
present form! probably more complete than the
histories of other counties that are being written
during the wresent year, but Mr. Lytle intends
adding much matter of especial interest to the
people of the county, and to be included in the
volume now in course of publication, for circula
tion in the county. In a few weeks sample books
will be ready for canvassers, when every house in
the county will be visited, and it is to be hoped
that he will obtain thousands of subscribers.
ALL lIONOR TO TILE COMMITTEE OF
ARRANGEMENTS.—We desire to return the hearty
thanks of this community to the gentlemen who
composed the Committee of Arrangements in get
ting up the demonstration on the 4th instant.
They labored unceasingly from the inception of
the project until their labors were crowned with
success. In ordinary towns it is a matter of very
little moment to get up a very respectable dem
onstration without scarcely an effort, but Hunt
ingdon is an exception. It is extremely doubtful
whether there is another town, of equal popula
tion, in the United States, where the matter has
heretofore been so difficult. Five years ago we
doubt whether it would have been possible.
Then a cold, selfish disposition pervaded the en
tire community, (with here and there an honora
ble exception,) that chilled and froze every good
ly impulse; men seemed to be wrapped up in them
selves and cared no more for their neighbors and
their enjoyment than if they were so many Chip
pewa Indians. There was no homogeneousness; no
open-handedness • no hearty welcome to the strang
er , in fact the stranger was too frequently scan
ned as if he wore a rogue or a scoundrel. The rule
appeared to be : Every man is supposed to be dis
honest until his honesty is fairly established. And
when the latter was fairly established he received
no credit for it. Six years ago, or thereabouts,
when we entered the town and realized the feeling
which pervaded it we felt as if we had been trans
planted from the warm and genial regions of the
sunny south to the frigidity which surrounds the
poles. Having been reared in a Tun ker community,
where every man's word, with scarcely an excep
tion, was as good as his bond, and where open
handedness and generous hospitality were the
rule, and selfishness almost unknown, it can be
imagined how we struggled to accustom ourselves
to the state of feeling around us, but, thank God,
within the last five years, much of it has been
wiped out. Still there is a thousand times too
mach of it even yet, but it is on the downward
grade. The next generation will, in a measure,
exterminate it. Our children must be taught lib
erality, unselfishness and integrity, at home and
in the schools. They must learn that to be public
spirited is patriotic; to be hospitable is christian ,
and that to be truthful is to be angelic. Yes, they
must be taught that their word is as good as their
bond. But to return to our subject. All the rem
nants of the feeling we have endeavored to portray
this committee bad to overcome. And we are
proud to say they made it aglorious opening of the
new century. They deserve, we repeat, the hear
ty thanks of the entire community for their unflag
ging, untiring and zealous efforts. God bless them
and may they all live long into the new century
which they have so zealously and successfully
helped to inaugurate.
RESTORATION OF CONFIDENCE.—The
best evidence of the restoration of confidence, in
the community, is the fact that comparatively few
liens are now being entered. A few months ego
the records were crowded with liens, and execu
tions were almost as abundant as domestic flies at
this season of the year. Every individual who
held a little or big judgment note felt insecure un
til he had it placed upon the record, and the credit
of his debtor injured to the extent of the hen.—
This, thank Providence, is no longer the feeling
in the community and the officers find their duties
in part, at least, very much diminished. Now,
then, let the judgment note be driven from the
community or confined to payments for real estate.
It is the promoter cf panics and thereby the ruin
ation of communities. It robs the poor and de
preciates the property of the rich. It is a curse
to the legal profession, and a stumbling block to
legitimate banking. Why not drive it out then
and avoid its ruinous effects? We hold that no
judgment note should be given, save fur purchase
money, (and then a mortgage is a thousand times
better,) unless executed in the presence of two
witnesses, one of whom should be a Justice of the
Peace. The latter should be authorized to keep
a record of the day, year and amount of the note
given. This would cut up by the roots, the per
nicious system of privately confessing judgments to
friends, in dire extremities, and thereby permit them
to carry off the assets which rightfully belong to
honest creditors. There is, in our estimation, no
door so widely thrown open for the permission of
fraud, in addition to its other injurious tendencies,
as the judgment note. Let the banks,the legal pro
fession, the business men, and the public generally
set their faces against it and it will soon be ban
ished from the community and local panics will
cease to occur.
HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT.—THE ()PIN.
lON or THE PRESS.—Read Di.loca
awls, cf:e.—We take great pleasure in recommend
ing th's deservedly popular medicine to our friends
and patrons in particular, and to the public at
large. We speak advisedly, being in a position
to pronounce a reliable opinion from having used
it at home, besides the economy of the article, as
we have saved within the year noire than one
doctor's bill by having the Ointment on hand.—
We bare tried opodeldoc liniments, cuibrocations
and pain extractors without end, hut for the im
mediate cure of sprains, dislocations, wounds,
bruises, cuts, burns, scalds, blotches, pimples, and
cutaneous eruptions, we have found none so speedy
or effectual as Holloway's Ointment.—llerald. 193
MIND, MATTER, MONEY, BEAUTY
Webster's Quarto Dictionary, as now published,
has cost more intellectual labor, more money in
its "getting up," and contains more matter, and a
larger number of beautiful engravings, (3000 or
more, with four pages of colored plates,) than any
single volume ever before published for popular
use in this or any other country. It is largely the
standard in England as well as in this country.—
Bell & Daldy, the publishers of Bohn's libraries,
are the London publishers of this magnificent
volume.
John Read do Sons' Concentrated EssenceofJa
maica Ginger is the beet preparation now in use
for all Summer Complaints, cramps, cholera mor
bus, colic, etc. Give it a trial and be convinced.
Also, Dr. Ellis' Worm Confections are guaranteed
to expel worms, or money refunded. They are
pleasant and agreeable to take.

To say that the great natal day of Liberty, and
that which ushered in the second century of our
national independence, was not celebrated and
observed in a becoming manner by the citizens of
our staid old town, would be an unwarrantable
reflection upon the patriotism and public spirit
of our community. It is enough, however, to
know that the programme of exercises, as previous_
ly announce 1, was carried out promptly and fully,
in all its, details, by the excellent committee of
arrangements, to whom too much credit cannot be
awarded for the faithful and efficient discharge of
the arduous and laborious duties assigned them,
assisted as they were by those whole-souled and
public-spirited citizens, whoyielded no half-heart
ed aid in rendering the occasion a success, and
one which would reflect due credit upon the name
and memory of our people and town.
Preparations, on an ample scale, were commenced
some days beforehand, and perhaps never before
in the history of our country, were the flowers of
the garden, and the evergreens of the forest, the
hemlock, the pine and the laurel called upon for
so heavy a tribute to the cause of patriotism, civil
ization and humanity. These wore rapidly and
almost magically transformed into wreaths, fes
toons and beautiful devices, by the fair hands of
the ladies, who, with that energy and patriotic
devotion, characteristic of our towns-women, work
ed with the patience of ants and the energy of
beavers, in the sweltering sun of day and during
the sultry hours of night, in making a suitable
preparation for the coming occasion.
The work of decorating buildings began early
on the morning of the third, and long before eve
ning few buildings, either public or private, were
left unadorned, or unfurnished with the most elabo
rate and tasteful displays of evergreens, flowers,
emblems and patriotic mottoes, while from roof
top and window, were to be seen the modest
and graceful folds of the red, white and blue, as it
fluttered in the breeze. Triumphal arches, with
pendant festoons, and a most liberal and attrac
tive display of bunting, spanned the entrance to
the principal streets and were flung from house
top to housetop along the crowded thoroughfares,
contributing largely to the gorgeousness of the
scene and forming an interesting and attractive
feature of the occasion.
The celebration exercises were inaugurated ear
ly on Monday evening by the already effervescing
patriotism of Young America, which manifested
itself in the wildest enthusiasm, the most hilarious
merriment, and the utmost noise which the firing
of crackers, shouts, confusion, and general devil
try could produce.
The ringing of the church bells at 12 o'clock
was the signal for the ushering in of the new cen
tury, and from that time on till daylight the good
natured citizens submitted to the deprivation of
that sleep which was out of the question, com
forting themselves with the reflectien that the
next centennial occasion might perhaps be ushered
in a little more quietly, the novelty of the affair
having by that time in some measure subsided.
Early religious services were held in some of the
churches. The Baptist church, which had inaug
urated the exercises on the Sabbath previously by a
beautiful and tasteful decoration of the building,
and an appropriate sermon, and Sabbath School
concert, occupied the hour intervening between 5
and G o'clock in devotional exercises appropriate
to the opening of the new century in our nation's
existence.
Immense crowds of people from the surrounding
country were in attendance at a very early hour
in the morning ; business was generally suspend
ed and all united in the general festivities. The
procession formed at 10. a in. on Third street,
which from Ponn to Mifflin. was a mass of strug
gling humanity as each division assumed its appro
priate place in the line of march.
The procession consisted of,
Chief Marshal Bathurst, with his Assistants and
Aids, all mounted.
The Iluntingdon Silver Cornet Band,
Members of Council and Orators, in carriages,
The Independent Hook and Ladder Company,
Phoenix Fire Company,
Huntingdon Fire Company,
Juniata Fire Company.
Fire Companies from Tyrone,
Young America. with the Centennial Gun,
The 11;presentatives of the Different Trades,
Base Ball Clubs,
Alexandria Band,
Independent Order of Odd Fellows,
Citizens, &c.,
and presented an imposing and highly attractive
appearance as it moved on its line of march,
through the principal streets, and returned to the
yard in the rear of the Court House, where a stand
was erected and seats prepared for the guests, and
where the exercises were opened with prayer by
Rev. F. B. Riddle.
Whittier's Centennial Hymn was then rendered
by the Huntingdon Centennial Glee Club.
The Declaration of Independence was read by
J. M. Bailey esq., and a Centennial Overture,
composed for the occasion by Prof. J. A. Neff,
was rendered by the Huntingdon Silver Cornet
Band.
Dr. J. 11. Wintrode was then introduced by
Frank W. Stewart, esq., of the eommiiteeo of ar
rangements, and delivered the oration of the day,
as follows:
We are assembled to-day in obedience to that
natural impulse which prompts a people do hon or to
its past. We are here to celebrate with reverent
and appropriate services the Centennial anniversary
of our National independence; to commemorate
the day that beheld three millions of people liber
ated from the bonds and chains of a foreign vas
salage, and taking their proper position among the
nations of the earth. And, my fellow-citizens, we
should celebrate this day in a spirit and manner
worthy of the event that we commemorate. IVe
should meet together this day as the children of
the same great family, having a common heritage, a
common interest, and a common destiny. If all pri
vate, and local. and political disputes, and all sec
tarian strifes and jealousies cannot this day be for
gotten, we are unworthy of our high birthright.
John idams very clearly predicted the proper ob
servance oC the day when he wrote "I am apt to
believe that the day will be celebrated as the day of
deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to Almighty
God, and by pomp, games, shouts, guns, bells, bon
fires, and illuminations from one end of the country
to the other. and from this time forward forev
ermore." What heart does not dilate with feelings
peculiar to this occasion, and what a host of in
teresting recollections spring up in the mind when
we reflect upon the times that tried men's souls."—
The narrative of the Pilgrim Fathers, in the spirit
of holy zeal forsaking the land of their birth,
braving the winds of heaven, and the angry wrath of
the mighty ocean, landing on the wild and rugged
rock of Plymouth, and planting the seeds of a holy
religion, as well as laying the foundation of a mighty
Republic, destined to be unexampled in the extent
of its territory, the rapid increase of its population,
its material resources, and the equality and justice
of its political institutions, and of those fields of
fame on which the hoary locks of the sire "lay clotted
in the purple gore of the son," where the traces of
the revolutionary fort and ditch remain, in which
our fathers knelt in prayer, and battled for the cause
of freedom; all these things beautifully and vividly
revive in the mind on this centennial of our na
tion's existence.
One hundred years have now rolled round since
the glorious declaration of the rights of men, which
has just been so admirably read in your hearing,
was proclaimed to the civilized world; and in vain
do we search the page of history for the record of
an event that adorns it with greater lustre, or that
more eminently distinguishes the persons amongst
whom it took place, for their patriotism, their
virtue and their valor. "Wiser, far wiser than those
who have attempted a similar work in other lands
and beneath other skies, they sought not to de
stroy any vested rights; they set tip no false notions
of equality, nor the oppression of the many for
the tyranny of the few; neither did they undertake
to sever the chain which bound them to an honor
able past. They sought rather to make virtue and
intelligence the test of manhood; they sought to
strike down perogative and privilege, and open the
gates of happiness to all alike. Aud, my fellow
citizens, if there be anything great, if there be
anything noble, if there he anything precious and in
valuable in the American Revolution, it is just this,
it has secured: for all men an equal chance in life."
Then, too, it has demonstrated man's capacity for
self government. It has shown him his just, nat
ural and inalienable rights and it has taught him,
too, that his greatest privilege. is to be free.
Let us for a moment endeavor to go back in im
agination to the 4th of July, 1776. Let us enter that
shrine of American liberty, old Independence Hall.
Seu those patriotic men pondering upon the
magnitude of the step about to be taken! There are
Jefferson, and Adams, and Lee, and Hancock, and
Hopkins, and Livingston; there, too, are our own
Morris, and Rush, and:Franklin, :mil Morton, WA
Clymer, and Smith, and Taylor, and Wilson. and
I;‘ , ss. Silence, deep, solemn, profound silence
reigns throughout the Hall! There are those t he,
that seem to waver. See that aged umn arise.—HP
casts a look of inexpressible interest and uneon
mierable determination upon his fellow•pat•iots.
Hear !inn as in slow, measured and tremulous ac
cents lie speaks: -• Mr. President, there is a tide in
the affairs of men, a nick of time, we perceive it
now before its. That noble instrument upon your
table which secures immortality' to its author, should
he subseribed to this very day by every member tit*
this house!—He who will not respond to its call—he
who falters sow is unworthy the name of free
man these gray hairs must soon descend
into the tomb, buy I would rather they should de
scend thither by the hand of the execution,. than
desert at this crisis the sacred taillSe of my country."
Ile issilent, but the tire of patriotism he bast kindled
is burning in every bosom in that assembly, and
the glorious deedlis done.
What was it, fellow-citizens, that induced these no
ble men to take this bold and praise-deserving step?
Assuredly,they were not unconscious of the dangers
of such a course. "The disparity between the pow
er of Great Britain and that of the colonies, was
more apparent to them than it can ever be to us.
They saw the first power of the age fresh from the
memorable battles in which she had destroyed the
naval and colonial power of France. The air still
rang with the cheers with which they themselves
had greeted her successive triumphs, the honor of
which they had come to look upon as their own.
Her armies hail been triumphant in every land: her
fleets victorious on the most distant seas. - -They
knew therefore the significance of their act; they
knew that should the experiment fail, proud Eng
land would rise in all her might, and vindicate the
honor of her insulted majesty.—And as was there
grimly said at the time, they knew they must all
••hang together, or all hang separately." It was
therefore from purely patriotic motives that they
acted.
History records many instances of true patriotism,
and of self-saeritleing devotion to country. It records
the acts of Lycurgus, the great Spartan law-giver,
who furnished Sparta with a code of wholesome
laws, exacted from his countrymen a promise of itn
plicit obedience to those laws till his return, lied
then leaving Sparta to return no more forever; thus
seeking to secure the permanence of his constitu
tions by a voluntary banishment from his country.
And, although such a course would At this day be
discountenanced, making due allowance for the
age in which, and the people amongst whom, it took
place, it can be regarded in no other light than that
of self-sacrificing devotion to country. The defence
of Thermopylte, by Leonidas. and the sacrifice of
himselfand his three hundred heroic Lacedemonians,
is another eminent example of self-sacrificing de
votion to country, and well might they erect a mon
ument to tell to posterity the tale, with the beautiful
inscription thereon: "Tell it in Lacedernon, that we
died here in obedience to the laws of our country."
But neither of these incidents, or any other recorded
in! history, excels or equals in any of the attributes
or characteristics of a true, healthy and enlightened
patriotism, that decisive act in which it was declared
that "these united colonies are, and of right ought
to be, free and independent states."
But while our thoughts are thus directed to the
worth of those who first unfurled to the breeze
the star spangied banner of freedom, we must not
forget the men of equal worth and Patriotic valor
who marched through blood and carnage beneath
its flying folds, until it waved in security and pence
over this "land of the freeand home of the brave."
Led on by their patriot chieftain, the immortal
Washington, whose confidence rested in the arm of
Omnipotence alone; guided by his wisdom and
di
rected by his sagacity, the American people entered
on theunequal contest, fearless of the issue. 'their
battle cry was "Victory or Death," sad they fought
like men determined to be free; and after eight
long years of triumphs and defeats, of varied succes
ses and reverses, victory perched upon their banner.
The symbol of peace again hung in the retiring
clouds, and the United States of America, from the
very nursery of oppression, stood before the world,
the fairest, freest and the best nation ever gazed on
by mortal man.
"The true American patriot feels :that he has a
name which demands his highest and noblest offer
ing of patriotism, and lie yields the first fruits of
his genius and of his heart to his country. lie loves
her with the gushing fullness and unselfish devotion
of the heart's first and purest love. And how could
it be otherwise? Her soil claims a parent's right to
that love; and were it as cheerless as winter, could
lie love it less than the Switzer loves his barren
cliffs? Were it as torrid as Arabia, could he cherish
it less than the Bedouin his own land? But the
grandeur and beauty of this boon land of his birth,
where lavish Nature seems to have gathered her
wonders as for a race of free giants,—the clustered
isles of her sublime and solemn forests, the cataract
voices that thunder amongst her hills, the rivers that
sweep with queenly magnificence among vallies, the
loveliest that zephyr ever visited,—how could these
be his own and be unbeloved? And then her aneals,
rich in the unrivalled triumphs of a calm and chris
tian heroism, of valor and of virtue, and more, and
far greater than all her liberty, calm and crimeless,
lofty and self sustained, that lifts her far above all
ancient and modern comparison, the morning star
of the nations, leading in the onward march of
Christian civilization, of progress, and humanity!—
Why, he would be duller than the dullest clod of
the valley did his heart not swell with exulting
gratitude to therod who madelsnch a laud and made
him a cl.ild upon its bosom. It is wise, therefore,
that he loves his native land, and loves it thus; not
with a cold sense of filial duty merely, the trickling
of an icy patriotism, but with a full and free passion
that regards a single life as too poor an offering
for such a country, and would give it, not grudg
ingly or with reluctance, but freely, as the sun does
its light or the heaven its dew, would pour out his
young, warm blood in the halite and bless each
sacrificial drop as it bubbles forth. Oh, more than
mountains or rivers, or even wealth, an,d splendor
or greatness, is this spirit the true glory of our land.
And this spirit, let me say, is no idle dream, no
phantom of the imagination ; it is a presence and a
reality. It lives, and moves, and has its being in
every pulsation of the mighty heart of our country.
And when the shadows darken and the peril comes,
it will stand forth, mightier than any mere inanimate,
physical power, to save and to achieve."
It is held by some that we have greatly degenerated ;
that we have retrograded into a more shallow and
more vulgar race than our forefathers; that there are
no such intellectual giants and no such lofty emo
tions in these latter days. Where, in our Congress,
it is asked, are the white headcdlteyton, Randolphs,
the Washingtons, the Lees, and the Jays,? It is the
sentimental habit of every age to decry, disparage.
and underrate itself. 'When the patriots of 1774 met
in Carpenters' Ball, they bewailed the spirit of Crom
well's day, until the firing of the first bomb into
Boston revealed and brought into light the same
stern courageland unyielding integrity in themselves.
So, too, the firing of the first gun at Sumpter, in
IsGl, arrayed us, in asingle month, under one banner
or another, men who, whatever their mistakes of
judgment were, surely were not influenced by any
considerations of gain. but who offered their lives
freely for an idea which seemed to them the wisest
and the best. In times of piping peace, when:money
spending seems to be our only business, and money
getting assumes with all of us the greatest importance,
the Lincolns and Sul - liners, anti may I say it, the Lees
and Stonewall Jacksons, go into the background. and
the Tweeds the Credit Mobilier men and carpet
baggers come to the front, and the hero of Fort
Fisher and Dutch Gap, and the Winnebago chieft
ains become leaders; but notwithstanding all this,
the American people are this day, we firmly and
honestly believe, as brawny a race of men, mentally
anti morally, as our forefathers; quite as genuine
and quite as God-fearing, although theymay show it
in a different fashion.
"The true American patriot recognizes the sub
lime fact that the equality of the human race, equal
rights on earth and an equal destiny in Heaven.
was first taught by Christianity; that the hopes of
a Republic are dreams, idle, shadowy and futile, un
less sustained by the faith of the Christian ; that tho
ambition is mean that pauses this side of Heaven;
that the patriotism is false which leans only on the
earth ; that he cannot love his country who will not
love his God, and that
'He is a freeman whom the truth makes free,
And all are slaves beside.'"
My good friends, "This anniversary is about gone
by forever, and my task is done. While 1 have spo
ken the hour has gone from us ; the hand has mo
ved upon the dial, and the old century is dead. The
United States of America have endured one hundred
years. And here, on the threshold of the future, at
the opening of the new century, surely the voice
of humanity shall not plead with us in vain. There
shall he darkness in the days to come, danger for
our courage, temptation for our virtue, doubt for our
faith, and suffering for our fortitude. A thousand
shall fall before us, and tens of thousands on our
right hand. the years shall pass beneath our feet, and
century follow century in quick succession. The
generations of men shall come and go, the greatness
of yesterday shall soon be forgotten, the glories of
this day shall vanish before to-morrow's sun. but
America shall not perish, but shall endure while
the spirit of the fathers animates their sous."
The exercises were concluded with music, "Star
Spangled Banner," by the Iluntingdon Centennial
0 lee Club.
The balloon ascension was next on the tapir,
and was expected to be the crowning feature of
the occasion ; accordingly all eyes were turned to
wards the "Diamond," where the monster "Re
public" was being inflated as rapidly as possible,
and which was soon filled with an eager surging
expectant crowd of spectators, holding the posi
tion with the impatient tenacity of such assemblies,
and, amid the scorching rays of a pitiless sun,
with the thermometer ranging far up in the
"nineties," waiting for the skyward journey of
the aerial voyager to commence.
At a few minutes past three o'clock, Miss Ih
ling, the female aeronaut, arrayed in her gorgeous
costume of the Goddess of Liberty, the rich span
gles of which were only visible beneath the folds
of the linen duster which enveloped her person,
and her flowing auburn ringlets partially confined
by the folds of a blue turban, made her appear
ance on the scene and seated herself for a few
moments, the cynosure of all eyes, awaiting the
final preparation, not however without casting
certain ominous glances tcwards the western heav
ens, where a terrific storm cloud had forsome tires
been gathering, and which now threatened mo
mentarily to burst in all its fury.
The process of inflation, under the direction of
Prof. Wise, who superintended all the arrange
ments, was almost completed; but the storm was
coining with frightful rapidity. The tgnadrous
of the air were forwirg in line of battle; the huge
air-ship, like some mighty ethereal monster im
patient to be gone, fretted and strained upon he r
ca'Jles threatening to drag the sand-bag anchorage
that held her to terra firma, and it was manifestly
apparent that unless she could be released speedi
ly, all hopes of a successful ascension were at an
end. But the donoument came. The final prepa
rations were completed ; the aeronaut, flag in
hand, was preparing to take her place in the bas
ket which was being secured to its moorings ;—the
Band awaited the signal for striking up the na
tional air which was to greet her departure;—ten
minutes more and she would have been "above
the storm's career," and beyond the reach of hu
man vision, on her journey to the regions of cloud
land ;—when—the storm burst, and with it, al
most simultaneously, the balloon. The huge
monster of the air gave one or two convulsive starts
toward its native element; then with an undula
ting motion, swayed to and fro, like a drunken
man ; once it almost flattened itself on the earth.
to the imminent danger of the attendants, then
righted itself, swayed, and righted again, when
the storm struck her. One dull heavy thud,—one
or two tremulous convulsive heavings,: like the
death throes of a mighty giant, and the mem
mouth air -shin, which a few moments before had
assumed such tremendous proportions and such a
swaggering air ofdefianee to the elements, now
lay prone upon the earth, a mangled, shapeless
ma F'S of shreds and network : her gaseous contents
hail mingled with thin air, and the ascension for
that Jay was over. But no time was left for inor
:dicing, for philosophizing or grumbling: the ele
mental eontest was now raging in all its fury, and
the action had lievione general along the entire
line ; the crowd, so long waiting on the yoi r;ee
of expectancy, with the instinct of self preserva
tion dispersed as rapidly as possible to seek shel
ter fruits the torrent of rain which followed the
bursting of the storm-cloud, and which placed
an ef f ectual quietus tit, the festivities of the day.
The concluding exercises of the evening con
sisted in a general and extensive illumination of
private dwellings, in which most of our promi
nent and wealthy citizens availed themselves of
the Opportunity of attesting their patriotism, not—
withstanding the inclement and threatening as
pect of the weather, and which presented a bril
liant, and highly interesting sight, creditable alike
to the energy and public spirit of our people, and
in the absence of any pyrotechnic display, forming
a most appropriate and beautiful texture of the
concluding exercises of a day long to lie remem
bered.
Everything passed ar harmoniously and with
out confusion ur accident. and although some un
fortunates were evidently under the influence of
an over-dose of "bug juice." yet it is alike note
worthy and creditable that nu arrests were made,
and very few drunken men were seen on the
streets.
AT ORBISONIA
We give a condensed account of the proceedings
of the celebration held here yesterday, in honor of
the one hundredth birthday of our nation. Want
of room compels us to omit the speeches.
The day dawned one of the most beautiful of
the season, and was ushered in the usual noisy
Manner. Before seven o'clock delegations began
to arrive from the different townships of this and
other countic;;, and long before the hour set for
the fortring of the procession the streets were
crowded.
At half past seven a large and beautiful flag.
20 feet in length, was raised to position on the
large pole, in the diamond. This is the highest
flag pole in the county. The Orbisonia, drum
corps played "Rally Round the Flag" after which
three rousing cheers were given for the old flag.
The procession was formed in the following or
der: Orbisonia drum corps, in new uniforms, fan
tastics, wagon containing little girls carrying flags
with the names of the States printed on them, a.
young lady dressed as the Goddess of Liberty,
seated on an elevated plattorm, followed by a tidy
guard of little boys handsomely dressed, Orbisonia
Lodge, and citizens. Capt. H. G. Tarr, was chief
marshal, with the usual number of aids. The
procession formed in the diamond and marched
to the depot to meet those coming by train.
The trains arriving at 9.03 from Mt. Union and
Robertsdale were crowded. The train from Rol,
ertsdale contained two brass bands, one from
Cassville and one from Broad Top City, and sever
al lodges Odd Fellows and other societies. Over
300 persons got on the first train at Robertsdale,
and the train was unable to carry all the passen
gers from the intermediate stations, aril another
section had to be run to accommodate all.
On the arriral of these trains the procession
re-formed in the following order : Orbisonia drum
corps, fantastics, wagon containing children, little
boys, carriages containing ministers, speakers and
committee of arrangements, Cassville band, Orbi
sonia Odd Fellows, visiting Odd Fellows, Broad
Top City Band, Broad Top Societies, other visit
ing societies, and citizens. The procession moved
from the depot at 9.30 o'clock over the principal
streets of the town and thence to the grove.
At 10 o'clock, a flag raising in front of the
Markle House, immediately after which, the as
seml.lage was called to order by A. W. Sims, the
Cassville Band played "Hail Columbia" after
which prayer was offered by the Rev. Wm. Fri
deaux, returning thanks to Almighty God for his
watchfulness over us in the past and invoking a
continuance of it in the future. The Glee Club
sang the Centennial Hymn, after which Mr. Tarr
read the Declaration of Independence in an im
pressive manner. The audience then sang the
'Star Spangled Banner." Mr. Sims then intro
duced the lion. John M. Reynolds, of Bedford, the
orator of the day. Mr. Reynolds held the hr.-
mcnse audience almost spell-bound for over an
hour. He spoke of the hardships endured by those
who in the trying times of the revolution gave
their all, as it were, to secure the blessings we
now enjoy he spoke of the trials of civil war we
have passed thro' for the preservation of the union
intact; of our now being at peace with the whole
world. He alsopointed out the dangers that beset
us on every side; the danger of teal-administration
of officers, corruption in high places, and bribery,
and stated the remedy to be with the people them
selves. Mr. Reynolds is a fluent speaker, and
had we room we would have liked to publish the
speech in full. He was followed by the Rev. B. B.
Hamlin D. D., of Chambersburg, in a few well
timed remarks, on the rise and progress of the na
tion and of America since its discovery by Colum
bus.
Speaking being over, dinner was Fermi to all
those who could get near the table: the multitude
was so great that it was impossible to accommo
date, but the committee spared no pains to furnish
provisions for all.—and there was plenty for all—
if the multitude could have had patience to wait
their turn.
After dinner the enjoyment of the diy began. as
the crowd separated and dispersed through the
grove to enjoy themselves in some of the different
amusements provided. A large platform was erec
ted for dancing, swings were put up in different
parts of the grove, a greased pole was up for
those desiring to climb it : arrangements for play
ing base ball were provided, and other amuse
ments. Soon every one was apparently enjoying
themselves to their utmost.
At 2 o'clock the tournament came off. Six
knights were entered for the riding. The success
ful knight was Dr. W. T. Browning, the eecon.l
best was B. F. Ripple.
Dancing, in the evening was spoiled by the rain.
The crowd wao estimated at 4,000 and we be
lieve every one went away satisfied that it "was
good for them to be here" to unite with their fel
low citizens in this centennial jubilee of American
freedom in pledging their continued watchfulness
over the welfare of our nation is the future fill
that their children and children's children may
celebrate with pride the two hundredth anniversa
ry of this day.
The very best of order was mantaine,l on the
ground.—Orbi,onia Leader.
AT lIIRMINGITAM
The first hour of the twenty-four of the glorious
Centennial Fourth was passed in firing guns, heat
ing drums and ringing church, school and dinner
bells. When morning dawned flags were unfurled
and all the inhabitants busy.
At 10 o'clock the citizens of the town and vicinity
assembled at Laurel Springs, and John Owens,
(aged 87,) was called to the chair, James Thomp
son, John Copley, David Cree, S. E. Russell,
Samuel Gensemer, Jacob Cryder. Abraham Smith
and Jesse Beight chosen as Vice Presidents.—
(average age of Vice Presidents years.)
The Glee Club sung "Glory to God in the High
est," followed by a very appropriate prayer by
Rev. Dr. Wilson of the Presbyterian church. The
"Flag of our Country," was sung. The Declara
tion of Independence was read by Rev. 11. R.
Wharton, of the M. E. church, in a clear voice,
and with distinct connections. "America" was
then sung by all who had a mouth to sing. Col.
G. W. Owens was then called to deliver an oration
in which he acquitted himself grandly. Subject :
"Our Country in contrast with the Old World."
lie gave a very clear history from the landing of
the Pilgrims to the present, and in the future were
possibilities that we now can scarcely dream of.
Then the Glee Club sung that soul inspiring song,
"Our Beautiful Flag," in such a happy and joyous
way, which was as much as to say, "Colonel, if
future clubs can surpass that, then we will sing
TM more at Centennial celebrations." Rev. Dr.
Wilson then addressed the children. Subject: "Our
Flag." Ile advised them to keep it clean, but if
the white must he made red to psotect it, then
make- it co. The Doctor was followed by Bev. .1.
Shearer,of the U. B. church, subject: "lliisban,l
-ry," which was well delivered. After which Rev. R.
11. Wharton delivered en address, subject : "The
Bible—The Flag." Then was sung "The Star
Spangled Banner." When Rev. Shearer pro
nounced the benediction. The ladies who are al
ways at work, had the largest table that was ever
seen in the grand old Laurel Spring Grove tilled
from end to end and more unopened baskets to
follow. The multitude had gathered around to
satisfy the cravings of the physical. At 7 o'clock
religious services were held in two ofthe churches.
At night a good display of fire works were bad in
honor of the occasion. '
AT DUDLEY
The Dudley Union Sabbath School celebrated
the Fourth by hAving, , a Basket Picnic. Addresses
were made by Rev. John Palmer and A. S. Brooks.
Rending Declaration of Independence by A. S.
Brooks. The ladies and gentlemen furnished the
music for the occasion. Miss Mary S. Miller pre
sided at the organ with her usual grace and tine
effe,A. Swings were also erected for the use of all
who were present. Innocent games and pastimes
were instituted for the pleasure of both young
and old. On the whole, the day passed off with
much profit and pleasure, end the patriotic fir
seemed to burn on the hearts of all who participated
in this our Centennial Anniversary. May we
never forget what our patriotic fathers did foe us
on July 4.1776.
CENTENNIAL EXERCISES.—The Inetn-
hers of the Baptist Church, attested their patriot
ism, on last Sabbath a week, by a series of exer
cises appropriate to the occasion of the opening
of the new century, in our Nation's history, con
sisting of a sermon, in the morning, by the pastor,
Rev. D. W. Hunter, and in the evening, by an in
teresting Sabbath School concert, under the di
rection of K. A. Lovell, esq., Superintendent,
assisted by the officers and teachers. The exer
ercises were interesting, attractive and very ap
propriate, and the Superintendent is certainly
entitled to great credit for the amount of labor
and care bestowed on the matter, in order to ren
der it a success. The building inside Vi:l3 s beau

The text, he said, was an emphatic and univer
sal proclamation of liberty. The year of inhilee,

this Centennial year with us. It brought with
special blessings to certain classes. Ti. thedebtor

having a go,ol reeord on the sabject or liberty,
will h.cl like making mention of it. enpecially on
this day. The Baptists as s denomination have
been the friends of civil and religious liberty, nut
only fruit' the foundaC of thin Republic. hut
from the time when the church was first forme.'
on the day of Pentecost. throughout all their his
tory, to the present time.
Liberty is divided into civil and religious. Civ
il liberty was never better defined than in that
immortal document cutlet the Deelsration of
Independence, the emanation of a min.l that was
clear on that subject. if ever a man had clear
conceptions of the rights of man, both physical and
spiritual, and could bring out in a few word's
great and undying truths on that subject, it was
Jefferson. lle defines what liberty, and the rights
of man are, when he rays, "we hold these truth'
to he self-trident, That was a tremen,l,.us
stride in the right direction, striking away every
thing like caste with a single word. and placing
all men on an equality; destroying the divine
right of kings and making every man a m..narrh.
That was the c‘iiinciation of civil liberty.
Religious liberty is the right of every man to
worship God according to the dictates of his own
conscience, feeling that he alone is responsible to
God fur his faith, and. that no man has a right to
constrain him against his will or stand between
him and his Maker. It has cost something to
establish these two principles of liberty. It de
manded of our fathers the greatest imaginable
sacrifice, and when that gloilous declaration was
established it was through blood and tears and
the loss of everything, on the part or those who
loved hate.l oppression hu t men that
will stand fast by such declarations arc hard to
conquer. The principles established at Yorktown
by the surrenderof Cornwallis, were re-affirmed
the surrender of Lee at A ppotnattox Court 'louse.
The declaration there went forth that this land in
the land of the free, and that this Union must
stand forever.
And where was our ehareh ne hundred years
ago' Wan it living then, or has it been of mush
room growth, springing up since that time' It
was living at the landing of the Pilgrims on Ply
mooth Rock, and of the Colonists at Jamestown,
in Virginia. Our fathers hail fled from England
to Holland, to escape persecution, and from Hol
land to Jamestown and Plymouth, where the
great struggle for soul liberty was Anon renewed.
Massachusetts enacted laws compelling every man
to embrace a certain faith, and attend a certain
church, inflicting heavy penalties upon those who
failed to obey these requirements. Baptiste, e 5...-
tending for soul liberty, refused to obey this en
actment, and the consequences were persecution,
stripes, imprisoranent, the confiscation of proper.
ty, and the banishment of Roger Williams to the
wilderness of Rhode Island, in December, MO,
followed by others of the same faith. and the es_
tablishment of that State upon the principle of
civil and religious liberty to all men, being, in
the language of Baneroft, "the first legal deelara
lion of liberty of conscience ever adopted, in
Europe or America." Bet in Virginia the perms
cution of the Ilaptints !dill continued. Our preaeh
ers were proclaiming the lloripel through the pris
on windows to the crowds outside. The locks and
keys that were turned on these defenders of our
faith are still preserved at Richmond College, and
Dr. Cox, an Episcopalian writer, says: "No dis
senters. in Virginia. experienced fir the time
harsher treatment than the Baptists, bring im
prisoned, greatly taxed, banished, But the
principle of religions liberty was finally establish_
ed in Virginia, as in Rhode and by the
satire set of men. Thomas Jefferson, tbe author
of the Declaration of Independence, was a regu
lar attendant at the Baptist Church. at Monti
cello, and says that he got the idea of the fianda
tion of the several states from the doctrines hell
by them, and when asked his opinion of their
church government, said, "it is the on'y pore
democracy on earth. - Ni. mender that h• held to
such conception' of right as are recorded in the
Declaration of Independence. The passage sf a
law allowing all ministers to preach to the ...I
dlers, and also a guarantee that all men shoot.,
have freedom to worship God, was the direct result
of the petitions sent up to the tleneral Assembly,
by the Baptist cherehes of Virginia, and after
wards, through the same indoenee, forever settled
by its adoption into the Constitution of the United
States, as found in the article relative to religions
tests. Washington says, in answer to the Rap.
fists of Virginia, after the Revolution have
supported the war and fought through the Rev._
lotion, and I will do all for you that I can," sn4
in the amendment passed. it read., "Congress
shall make no law respecting the establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
Baptists have therefore hail something to do with
the cause of freedom, and have reast.n to be prowl
of their record on this great question. Few of
them were left after the Revolution, soil nut of a
