A movement is on foot to-day to get up a
demonstration on the 6th of July (Monday)
and a petition is In circulation to raise funds
to carry out the programme. It Is proposed
to have b balloon ascension during the day,
also toot and horse races, and a grand dis
play ef fireworks in the evening. We hop
our citlaens will subscribe liberally, aeon the
amount raised depends tb extent of the en
tertainment. A celebration of this charac
ter was gotten up In Petroleum Centre last
year, and it was a complete success. The
attendance was large, notwithstanding tbo
demonstrations made In neighboring towns,
and our business men reaped a handsome
harvest Let us, this year, do better than
ever before. Subscribe, subscribe I
