The vessel I had intended .to sail in had departed the day previous to my arrival, so there was,nothing* to do Lut 'to select the next best and commence my journey. After noting the offers of the various companies, I-finally settled ,upon the Genera! Abuertoci; of the Val ery Line, and after seeing my baggage aboard; and I< oklng in Vain for some one to whom I might say good-by, I followed suit, and was soon on deck. I looked around me at our passengers ; never was there a greater mixture of na tions. French, Spanish, and above all Italian, was heard on every side, but I listened in vain for a sound of our good old English tongue. After-numerous leave takings and hissings, feuch as only foreigners cun indulge in, we managed to get off, and steamed from the harbor with a light breeze following, and as happy a company as was ever got together. There were-several notables on board, the Con sul QeneraTof France to Rome, and his wife, an accomplished and elegant wo man; several Secretaries of Legation, be sides many officers of the French Army, who, with a company of troops, were on their way to relieve a partof the garrison atCivitaNecchi.thenheld by the French. As we sailed along many small boats fol lowed us, the occupants shouting and waving their good byes until ;we were ! out of sight. Could they have seen what the next twenty-four hours would' pro duce? Could they have known that their good-byes were indeed farewells to those who, .before the morrow’s sun, would be la eternity, their gladness would have been changed tosorrowand their rejoicing to tears. ’ As I said, we sailed on the morning of the 7th of May, 1869, and nothing occur red to mar our voyage up to 8 o’clock that mgh£, when the wind changed,.and a head sea set in, which' quickly drove all the ladies and most of The men below.— As for myself—having spent nearly a year at sea, and neyer suffering from that malady called 'sea•Biclcnfiss , —l .walked the deck for some tw.o hours partly for the fresh air, which T could not* get In the saloon, and partly because a feeling of uneasiness and insecurity had taken hold of me, which I endeavored in vain to throw off. There were good grounds, however, fo* ; . my feelings, for I. had not been half an hour on board before I no ticed a lack of discipline among the offi cers and crew, which boded no good in. .case of accident and which was afterward fully confirmed by their conduct. We were also heavily laden, Including among our freight a deck-load of petroleum,upon the barrels of which the troops lay or sat smoking.* I endeavored in vain, by signs, to make the Captain understand the na ture of such inflammable material, but he treated the subject with the utmost indifference, and’, shrugging his should ers, went into his room, as if the fate, of over sixty lives were of no possible con sequence. Having remained on deck up to near ly 11 o’clock, X went to my room and lay down, taking off my cqafc merely, for the horrid presentiment that something would occurr still clung to me, and made my sleep anything but quiet. It was about one o’clock when I was awakened by a fearful crash, followed instantly by two morh shocks repeated in quick sue-* cession, wbl*e at the same moment sl/Weks pud cries burst from nlf parts of the cabin, whbre terrified women -and children rushed madly hither and thith er. My first thoughts were that we had • struck upon some bidden reaf or shoal— which this part of the Mediterranean abounds in—but on reaching the deck 1 soon saw my mistake, for a large brig— whose outlines I could just see in the darkness, was slowly drifting away from us, and I knew in a moment that we had crushed into her, and question npw was—were we sinking or was she ? Every one was now oh deck, and the confusion and excitement was dreadful I Men called aloud for their wives, and mothers for their children, wbile others on their knees called upon God to save thera.- I went to the forward part of the ship and saw enough to convince me that au hour wouiQ decide the case for us all, for our bows, which were made of Iron—in fact, the ship was iron, and Clyde built— were all stove in, and the water fast pour ing in in great volumes at the apertures. But another sight I saw, which, for.cow ardioe and unsailorlike conduct, couid hardly be equaled. The -Captain and crew, with only one or two glorious ex ception's, had seized the only boat left uninjured, and In the indistinct light I saw them pulling away from the ship, and. leaving us to our fate. I rushed back to the stern, where the passengers,- who had now cailght sight of the boat, were vainly stretching ’forth their bands and begging for the love of God to take them In- The Consul, whom I have mentioned, shouted a reward of two hun dred thousand francs, would they but take his wife. Inhiaagony he beaeeched and prayed them, but money id that hour had no temptation, and his words fell on ears deaf to all mercy. Seeing one of the sailors, who yet bravely, stood at the wheel, ! asked, by signs, for life-preservers. He shook his head—they had none. I then tried to get two or three men together, who would help me wrench off doors or cut away the seats and benches which ran along the upper deck for a raft, but they would not stir; either they could no't under-? stand or fear had paralyzed them. And now the ship was settling by the bows and rapidly sinking ; already the water was nearly amidships, and almost up to the fires. The engineer had left his post, with the engine at full speed, and It was pushingius here and there as chance di rected. T now began to look around to see 1 how I might save myself. The time had passed when we might have passed together, and every one for himself was the thought of all. Having taken off my clothing, I seized a small.settee, it was almost good for nothing as La float, yet more than one at tempted to' take it from me, and it was only by thieatening them all with my knife that I could keep possession. I knew that it was a chance, if it would hold but one, and life was too dear to part with lightly. As the water reached the boilers, the steam poured out in volumes, and many, thinking we were on fire, added to the scene by their cries* I had made up my mind to throw my settee overboard, and was about to put it into execution when my. attention was drawn to the brig, which was approaching again with the evident intention of affording help. The ship had now sunk so far that her stern was raised some thirty feet above the wa ter, and only the mizzenmast was clear of*'it. **Every moment we could feel her settling lower and lower, preparing for her finalplunge to the bottom. We were all huddled together in the stern, anx iously looking for boats, or at Icasta boat from the brig, when the Captain.hailed üb, asking what nation the ship was. He spoke in French, and we cried back, the Gen. Abbertoci, Italian; wo are sinking: can you save ue ? “Then a sffence ensued mid mothers hushed their chlldfen, and we all waited the words—the words of Proprietor. life or death. The answer came hack clear and distinct: Wo cannot help you, we are sinking ourselves. Oh, the agony of that moment I Yet there was no more frantic crying, but men grasped each other’s hands in a farewell grip, and a dark, settled despair was on the face of alf. 7 • Tdow determined to reach the brig, or perish attemptlng'it, for I saw there was no hope for us, and I reasoned that the brig, being a wooden vessel would hold out the longest, or at least afford means of building a raft- At any rate it was death to stay where I was, for I knew I should.be drawn in by the suction when iactlinefo. A LEAP FOR LIFE. CARLISLE, PA., THURSDAY, MAY 18, 1871. ehe sank. Bo,,grasping my watch, and what money I had with me, which I had taken from my vest; I went up the rigging, and as the brig sank on the swells, below, ,1 Jumped down and across. The exact distance I sprang I could not say,, but I struck her gun wale and fell In the passage way, between It and the after-cabin.-I lay for. a mo ment stunned, and' then springing up, I ■oame-amidsbips:—Here-every thing-also was in ( confusion, our steamer, having struck her on the starboard side near the bow, cutting a hole in her to the water, and carrying away a good part of her rig ging. <*■ ' 1 ■ The Captain and sailers, numbering about ten men, were endeavoring..to get a small boat, which lay keel upward on her deck, free from the entangled rig ging and launch It. It was only after working with a will that we were enab led to get it over the side, and jumping in as best we could, we pulled away from the brig toward the steamer, but we dare not approach too near for fear of being drawn in, but shouted for them to jump, ■ and we would try and pick them up. It was too late! One awful scream— I one cry of agony—such as I pray I may never hear again—as she piunged to the bottom. And of all these'cabin passen gers X alone was left. Tbo waters met and closed over ber as peacefully and calmly as If nothing had’ecourred—and nearly sixty sopis, men, women and chil dren, wore.in eternity. The day’ had fairly broken now, and with the new light we Seemed to have new hope. Finding that the brig, which bad drifted some way off, was still float ing, we steered for her, and, clamoring up, threw ourselves,upon the deck worn out and exhausted. I think, bad our vessel then sauk, tbat not a man could have,saved himself, so utterly were we used up. But help was near at hand. We had discovered, while iu the boat, the masts and spars of the ship looming up on the horizon, and now she was in plain sight. We hoisted our flag as being in distress, and shouted, and almost cried with joy, as we saw her return thesignal, and then came bearing down toward us. As she passed where the steamer put out her boats, and picked up two passen gers and then came to us. r ßhe proved to he The King bound from Norway to the coast of Africa, Her Captain, a buff old sailor, but a kind-hearted man, after a consultation with the Captain of ohr brig, told him ho would help him into -the nearest port, which w'aa Leghorn, or, as he called it, Lireano. Our vessel, al though severely damaged, would still float, for being, as sailors have it, only in ballast, viz,: having no cargo we were enabled by constant pumping to keep the watercut until we had stuffed the rent full of old cordage, sails, &0., and nailed a large lot of canvas over the side, The Captain of The King.bad also picked up the Captain of.the steamer and his crew in'.the boat which they hod tak en so basely, and, being rather short of provisions, with so .many more thrown on their hands, all that could had to stay on the brig, •* :We found by observation that we were about 100 miles from Leghorn, and turn ed our prows in that direction : but now, one of these calms so frequent in this sea set in, and it was only after three days’ and nights increasing labor at the pumps that we reached the port. The ship, meanwhile, keptolose by us, and at night our lamps answered each other’s welcome light, while deck-watches of the two ■ves sels sent across the water the joyful cry of'All's jVell P I was quite used up and unfit for duty after the second day, for my feet were swollen and purple, and my Jeft wrist sprained from my jump, but it . was not until cramps set in that I gave up taking my turn at the pumps, for there was many a poor fellow worse than I. The moment we arrived the news spread like fire, and soon a crowd of many hun dreds were about ua asking questions and pr Saing upon our acceptance food and money, and in fact, like many others of our species, we needed both, for a more sorry looking crowd It would be hard to. find. Our wardrobe was made up of the odds and ends belonging to the Captains of the two vessels, and was anything but comfortable, but we little thought of that for life bad been spared us, while so many had met a watery grave. Of my jgurney to Borne, and the reception I.re ceiyed there, Twill not speak—suffice it to say (hat a more kind-hearted'people than the Italians, or ohes more ready to beip tbose.in actual distress, do not live. I made a statement of.tbe afluir before an American Cousul at Leghorn, and have since learned tbatthe Captain of the Ab ertoci is servlng out a term of eighteen years in the Government prison for not having his lights out, and cowardice.in leaving his vessel. 4 Nearly two years have now passed since that night, but I can yet see those palefaces, and bear the shrieks as they sank. It will cling to me while I exist, for i am sure I can never forget while memory lasts—my leap for life. A SENSATION. Fcarfnl Predictions by an Entranced Lndy-Wrcstllue with the Spirits. Louisville, Ky., la Just now excited over a strange prediction by a young German lady,Mia's Carrie Clien, residing there. She claims to have been under the Influence of spirits, or mysterious in fluences, at intervals for twelve years.— She was thrown into a trance, she says, when seven years of age, and again when she was fourteen, lasting for sev eral months, during which she predicted the Franco-German war and its result— Recently she had been thrown into a similar state, .and on Friday last made the following prediction in the presence and hearing of a reporter of tho Louis ville Commercial; . 'ln seven weeks from to-day—March 24 —a sign wilt appear in the heavens, which will last fifteen weeks and then cease. This will he the forewarning of a terrible war between the-whites and blacks in the United States. The first battle in the war of races will be fought in April,, 1872, and the war will be brief but terribly bloody. After this war has ceased, in three years another sign will appear in tho heavens, indicating a re newal of the present war in Europe.— This war will last about three years, and all Prussia will glorify. Nine years af ter this war ceases, another sign will ap pear in the heavens above the whole World, which will forewarn people all over the world of a religious war. This will bo terrible, even unto one part as unto another of the whole face of the world. It will last nine years—and will temporarily cease for seven years— when beasts wearing seven horns each of the form of a huge sabre, will appqtjr to the world in large numbers, and the peo ple inhabiting the world will stand in fear. The oceans will become red—and no vessel can stand .upon her face. Men will cense to write. Ten years after the appearance of this beast upon earth—a cross will appear upon tho face of the sun, and although tho people were sur prised to seethe moon cover the sun, they will sltll be more surprised when they see this. This cross will cover the sun for seventeen years, whefi God Almighty will destroy the earth. My friend, take warning. The ugliness of the present fiishlon of women 'a street dress is the su'tfjeot of general remarks among men. From head to foot It Is a succession of deform ing additions to the natural female fig ure. Trailing skirts covered with mud or dust, and those awful bustles, combine to make the fashionable attired woman a mass of ridiculous absurdities. Can it bo that the pvorlhtow of Paris as a seat of political power is coincident with the Ipss of Us authority In millinery nud dressmaking ? As.. It is, the dcflgUt which men of sense usually take In look ing at the fair sex is wonderfully impair ed, if not altogether destroyed. THE DOS AND THE INDIAN. The full-blooded bull dog is the naqst brutal and the. least intelligent of. bis species; its depressed forehead, Us under hanging Jaws and bloodshot eyes, unite in forming the personification of the sav age. Although capable of some attach ment, It cannot be relied on ns a friend. So utterly without intellect is the courage of ihe thing that gives offence. Many years ago an English ship was at one of our docks, qu board of which was a bull dog. The animal was so ferocious that ho gained 1 an exteosive reputation. Chained at the gangway of the ship, he spent ail the livelong day in the hopeless task of springing at every person who came along, pleasure or buai-* ness. The owner, first mate of the vessel, would sit for hours and detail the won-' , derful feats of this mighty dog. Crowds of idlers dally collected, and there stood the hero, or rather there raved the insane creature at the multitude, each indulging the vague hope that he would-presently jbreak loose and pitch into somebody, and thus show his prowess. Among thoidlcrs was up Indian, who occasionally visited the city, and made a few pence by shoot ing oh arrow at pennies stuck in the end of a stick.. Upon the very appearance of the Indiauntbe dog was particularly vio lent, greatly to the amusement of the Indian, who took a malicioiib pleasure in irritating the animal. The mate finally interfered, and told tueJndlan to go away, lest the dog might bihak loose and eat him up. The Indian, not .In the least alarmed, in broken English announced to the crowd that if the dog.was brought down to the ground, and chained to a post, he would, for five.dollars, fight him with nothing but bis bauds and teeth. -The money was raised, and the mate, after expressing mUch reluctance at the . idea of having the Indian killed, brought the dog down from the ship, and fastened him ton post. The Indian, puttingaway hfa bow and arrow and his knife, laid his neck bare, and rolled up his shirt sleeves. A ring was formed, and the battle com menced. The Indian approached the dog, crawling on all fours, barking and growl ing as if he was one himself. The dog, meanwhile.jumped and foamed afcthe mduthi while hia eyes beamed livid fire with irritation. The Indian, however, kept up his pantomime, and gradually brought his face in fearful proximity to the dog’s,teeth. The mate now interfered, for he felt confident The Indian would get killed;* but the crowd had become ex cited, and insisted upon booing the thing .out. silence ensued between the combatants. The dog strained his chain in h|s anxiety to reach the Indian, until it was straight nsa solid bar of iron. Suddenly the.lndian seized the bull, dog’s under lip between hia teeth, and iu an instant whirled himself with the dog over his bgck. So unexpected \Vaa the attack, and so perfectly helpless was the dog, with'his feet in the air, and his Jaw imprisoned, that he, recovered his aston ishment only to give forth yella of pain; whereupon the Indian shook him as a cat does a mouse, and then let go his bold.— The dog, once so savage, putting his tall between his legs, retreated from bis ene- my, and screamed' wi th terror to get from within the, reach of the chain.

The rose baa many fabulous origins.— Some state it to have sprung from the blood of Venus.- -The Mohammedans pay that the sweat of their prophet was the source from which It grew; while ‘the.Ghebers believe that when Abraham,' their great prophet, was thrown into the fire by order of Nimrod, the flame turned Inatantly.into a bed Of roses, upon which the child sweetly reposed. * The Chris tian legend on the subject is given by Sir John Mandevillee. It is to the .effect that a fair maiden of Bethlehem was slandered, and condemned to be [ burned ; but when.the flrobegan to burn aroundfher she prayed to our Lord that, as she was not guilty of that sin, He would help hor;-and make her innocence manifest to men.

It is stated, however, that a gardener at Tadcaatlo has had one grow ing in his garden for four or five years ; so that the after part of this tradition Is scarcely ‘founded on fact/ THE "FAT SHEEP.'' Some twenty-five years ago, when I was pastor of a church —■ —, I took oc casion one evening to attend a social meeting in the church in that place. As is their custom on such occasions, after one the other arose ana gave in his or her experience. After a time a man in humble circumstances, small in stature, and with a very effeminate, squeaking voice, rose to give In a piece of hla expe rience, which was done in the following manner: 'Brethren, I have been a member of this church for many years. I have seen hard times—-ray family have been much afiloted—but I have for the first time in my life to, see my pastor or any of the trustees of this church cross the hold of my door. No sooner ban ho uttered this part of bis experience than ho was suddenly in terrupted by due of the trustees, an aged man, who rose up and said in a firm loud voice: *My dear brother, you must put the devil behind jrou.’ On his taking his seat, the pastor in charge quickly arose, and also replied to thelittle man as follows ; ‘My dear brother, you must remember that we shepherds are sent to the lost shed|> of the house of laroal.’ Whereupon the little man arose again and, in answer, said, in a very loud voice: 'Yes, and if I'd been a fat one, you would have found mo lung ago.’ The effect upon the audience can be better imagined than described. A Fahmeii’s Bi.undeu.— A farmer re cently drovo bis old mare into Lexington, Kentucky, leaving her colt at home. On bis return, which was after dark, he put her out in the lot where the colt was, and thought it was ail right. In the course of an hour or two, a servant came in and told him the mare was fighting her_colt_aod .would not allow it to par take of the maternal font. This Irritated him so that' hosald ho would llx her, and out he went to carry his threat into exe cution, He caught her and tied her head up to a tree as highus be could rcaeli, and brought the colt up. But with all that ho could do, the obstinate nag would kick the. colt away. At last, after worrying for some time to no ellcct, and almost despairingof success, he happened to take another look-at the beast, and found, to his astonishment, that be had iuadvdft ently brought a horse belonging to some other man, and it was no wonder that he did not succeed in his undertaking. He had to make the trip back to town that night to make the exchange, and be did not get to bed until after midnight.;! SISTER BROWN GRATIFIES'HER CURIOSITY.

Some prefer maids and some pre-. fer widows—that is a matter of taste.— Each horn of the dilemma has its advan tages. One advantage possessed by a widow is, that she has graduated—has her eye teeth cut, and knows what’s what. A virgin has everything to learri, and it requires patieuce aud pdraeverenco to in struct her. Our golden haired friend, George Center. Brown, the sensational writer, preferred a widow. He picked out the best one in the city—Jenny S. Jenkins—and on Saturday the twain were made one.

His wish was granted, and a place was made for him in the college division at Princeton. Eor a number of years bis grave was visited by hundreds of travelers, yet there was nothing to mark it.. Not one of all the friends of Burr was left who cared to mark the grave, until one night, in 1856, unknown toanyone.a plain marble.sJub, with the-name of Aaron Burr upon it, 1 was placed at the head of hla grave. That is the foundation for the finale of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel of “The Minister’s Wooing.” So great was the Interest in this one grave, that in 1860 nearly one half the gravestone had been chopped off by visitors and carried away. The stu dents took up a subscription arid caused the erection of a wirecageaboutthostone, which was thus preserved in its broken, condition. • Experiment wit i r Light —Choose a room where the suu shines in through the window, and then block out all the light by means of a shutter or.otherwlae, taking care that all cracks are stopped. Then cut a hole about six luebes square in the shutter, and stop the hole With two or three thicknesses of rich deep blue or bluish purple glass. A broad beam of deep bine or purple light from the atm will thus stream down into the otherwise dark room. Then hold iu the deep blue light a bottle or other article made of uranium glass. Ornamental bottles made of this glass, which is sometimes called “canary” glass, because of its light yellow color, are commonly on sale In the chem ist’s shops. They are ruade to hold smel ling salts, and may cost slxpopce to three shillings each. .The blue light should be deep and not very brilliant. When the uranium glass bottle is held in it, the bottle will appear to glow with great beauty, with all the brilliancy of a glow worm, as If-white hot. • • Getting a Check.— There Is a check man at the Littlo Miami Railroad Depot who won’t admit but that they can check baggage to any point desired.

Molly McCaully or Molly Pitcher of Revolutionary fame, who, when her hus band was killed at tno battle of Mon mouth, took his place at tho cannon, lived at what was then called Laugher idge’s corner, corner of Bedford and North Streets. During my mother’s protracted Illness summer of '22, Molly was my- careful attendant. She was tbeu nearly 70, very passionate, and as I then thought,, cruel, judging from the many switchings she : gave me. She died many years afterwards and was buried ns'she deserved, with military honors; OTHER NOTED rEnSONAOES. George Baggs, a largo, heavy, muscular man, lived with James Noble, father of John. He too was a butcher. He was somewhat deranged, caused by a stroke on the head, fond of-whiskey and of to bacco, a alavef to the latter. Twist tobac co; tbenprinolpnlly used, was very cheap and was sold, by the yard. Every small shopkeeper had a yard's length measured off on the counter to measure tape and tobacco. George usually had' a foot of twist hanging from his mouth and was very filthy; his breast and clothing al ways besmeared with the saliva. At periods of his- worst hallucinations, he walked the middle of the streets, never oh the pavements, singing hie favorite song—‘gliddy, glow, glaw, glaw,’ Some times a monotone, at other times wltlv great;emphaais. his 'glaw, olaw, QLAWI’ At suoh tipes, we.boys were afraid of him, for ho became vicious. Every one, whom he did notkn.ow, heoalled‘Bill’. I . do not remember when or where he died; The next was Isaac Hildebrand, a tall, erect, vicious looking man-and also de ranged. Ho often came to Carllslowlth a large drove of dogs, tied In pairs, of all kinds, sizes and colors. It was. amusing to witness Isaac leading ids dogs, along the and especially, when the town dogs attacked his; then, with his long pole he carried, with a horn on the end, for their protection, would beat off intruders successfully, Strange dogs were afraid of him, tor he was dressed oddly and he used his pole without any compassion. Hildebrand made a busi ness of stealing, trading and selling dogs, but would buy none. When he passed along the streets wlthhis herdof canines; the owners of all decent dogs, would shut them up, . . Next, was Jenny White, a victim of plighted affection. She was tall, walked slowly and crept, was indifferent, inof fensive and very reticent. She would seidom-speak to any one and answer no questions and always wore a melancholy countenance. Jenny always wore her favorite colored dress, white; and as In ventions for giving dress a set, exceeding the proportions of the wearer, were then wholly unknown, hers bung loosely, without ony appendages or other outside cavering; generally bare-headed, or wore an old straw bat. She died many years afterwards at Comberland co. Poorhouae. , The-last was Betsy George, also de ranged. trhe was a short, fleshy woman and rather too social and good-natured for most people*. Wherever she was acquainted sho visited often, an i.mposi tioji on those who lot her come in and remain. ’Loquacity was largely develop- an incessant talker but no sense in It. She was of good-disposition, fond of company and of friends, or of all who. entertained her., Always on the walk from bouse to house. Betsy died at the poorhouse. ' CA{3UA LTIES, The 4th of July then was celebrated, b> men and boys, and doubtless, this annu al festive occasion was rendered the more attractive, on account of the /ate .war with Great Britain, having been ended witli success to the American arms, only a few years before. July 4th 1824 was ii sad day in Carlisle. The celebra tion was held at Sponsler’s Grove, near Henderson’s niill. An iron cannon bursted, and. Frank Guest, a boy of my age, killed and Gen. Edward Armor wounded in the foot, that maimed him for life., I saw Frank’s terrible wound in the licad, a corpse and woe at his fu neral. The next celebration, Ju 182-5, was held at the 'Garrison. In company with my father and younger brother, I saw Mi chael Dawson, a candidate for Sheriff, astride acannon, when it was discharged, and, saw the charge put in that caused the death of Dr. John Given and of Wm. Bell. And, such a charge, loaded to the muzzle with mullein leaves, clay and brickbats; my father said to us, 'you had bettor go home, I am afraid the cannon will burst,’and it,did. We left quickly, and had not reached the end of the Gar rison lane when I heard the shrill, dead? ened report and in a few minutes, one rode hastily past for a physician add said. 'two men were killed l’ We returned and mot a wagon, containing the lifeless body of Wm. Bell and saw the wound la his breast that took his life, The inden ted locust tree, struck with a pieco.of the exploded cannon, marked for many years, where Dr. Given was killed and where my fathef imprudently sat, leaning against the tree and caught the injured man as he fell. In the evening X saw the corpse of this esteemed, promising young man,, brought in on a bearer to James Given, his father’s residence, and, I was at the funeral. Jefferson Worthington lost his arm, a few years afterwards, on a similar occa sion, while engaged, either loading or swabbing the cuuuon, at a Democratic celebration, hold up the spring. Thus ended the casualties of 4th of July and thus ended the recklessness of politicians; for, on the occasion of the bursting of both cannons, many were almost Insens ibly drunk, especially at the Garrison.
