'THE COLUMBIA DEMOCRAT.
'TllUTn VlTIlPCT TKAR
' 4th of July
This day passed off very pleasantly in
this town. There was no regular celebra.
tion by tho citizens' generally, but the day
was ushered in by tho roaring of cannon,
Vand at an early hour, our streets were enli
venod by the assembling of three Volunteer
Companies tho Independent Iroop
J31oomsburg Artillery, and tho Bloomsburg
Rangers, who all made a fine appearance
while performing their evolutions, and tho
assembling of a large co'leation of people
to participate in tho festivities of the day,
In addition we had the "Ladies' Fair,'
which was conducted by the young Ladies
of the town in a manner highly creditable
to them, and, we understand, it was patron
isod by the citizens with a liberal and hand
some spirit. Tho companies dined at their
respective quarters with overflowing tables
prepared by their worthy hosts,
'The Bloomsburg Artillery sat down to a
sumptuous table prepared by Mr. C. Docb
ler, and after the removal of the cloth, cn
-joyed an hour's pleasant hilarity and social
converse, and drinking of Volunteer Toasts
accompanied by the discharge of their
field piece. The Company were high
ly gratified with the presoneo of their
venerable friend and patriot of the. Re
volution, Henry Old, Esq. enjoying tho
return of the glorious day with cheerfulness
and good health, recounting scenes of the
Revolution iu which he took an active part,
and reciting anecdotes of the " times that
tried men's smite, in such a
manner as to
excite a spirit of patriotism in the breast of
the young, men:, that plainly showed that
they were truo sons of Revolutionary sires,
and that the liberty of their country was
eafc in their hands. Wo have not room
for the proceedings, but they shall appear
in our next.
IMPROVEMENT BILL.
Tho Improvement Bill, as it finally pass
ed the legislature, contains the following list
of appropriations. The bill was opposed
by tiie federal members of both branches,
(tho assertions of .our neighbor to the con
trary notwithslanding,) and every obstacle
flung in tho way of its passage by them,
that ingenuity could invent, until three or
four of the federal Senators became disgust
ed with the unprincipled course of their
party, abandoned them and voted for the
bill, and by this means jt was carried thro'
the Senate by the aid of the vote of every
democratic membei; by a small majority.

We were last week nt the residences of!
several Farmers in different portions of this
county, and wo were about to writo an arti
cle upon the comfort and happiness attend
ant upon a snug faimer's life, when we met
with the following, which so entirely coin
cides with our vicv3 and feelings upon the
subject, that we concluded wo could not do
better than to substitute it for any thing we
conld say.
A FARMER'S LIFE.
If wo wore ever envious, and to be hon
est wo Tfavc been too often, it was of tho far
mer the intelligent, independent, and Iiap-
py farmer, who owned his land, his house
and his barns, who was free from debt,
whose family was growing up propcrously
around him, upon whom God seemed to
have smiled and blessed in Ins basket and
in his store. We have seen such a farmer
and could point to a hundred such in our
country, and in sober truth, we know of no
man so happy, and no business so perma
nently profitable ; none indeed, that makes
the owner so independent, and places him
so far above board. Ho has granenes lilted
with tho production of his farm, barns with
tho stock reared and hay raised upon his
farm. His cellars are filled with potatoes,
and half a hundred kinds of the necessary
to feed him and his family, grows
up around him he may lead his own oxen
lo the slaughter, raise his own pork, fatten
and consume his own sheep, eat his
own poultry, devour his own gggs,
live upon his own home-grown and
home-made bread, weave his own cloth,
raise his own wool, make his own butter
and cheese in short live like a Prince, and
dress comfortably, without going at all from
his own homestead. All this that makes
the farmer the most independant man in
the community, is no fiction. Fairly in
business, ho wants less money than almost
anv man in nursuing the even tenor of
his way; because his business is of a char
acter to require less money than any other,
Portland Advertiser.
Mn. Forsyth, Secretary of State left
this city, a day or two since, for the State
of Maine, to superintend, in person, the
proposed running and marKing of the long
disputed boundary line between Maine and
New Brunswick. This is a most practica
ble move. He escapes the heat of the
South, for the cool and invigorating breeze
of the North, while, by his presence at the
immediate
scene of dispute, he evinces
respect to the citizens of Maine, who leel
the deepest inteiest in the adjustment of
te line, while at t he same lime, it wm cn-
courage and expedite a speedy settlement
of an important question one that recent
ly drove two powerful nations to the verge
of war. Portland is to be his abiding place.
He will increase his friends go where he
may his eminent talents and sterling worth
will stand the test ol the closest scrutiny.
Philadelphia Spirit oj Hie limes.
The criminal court in Philadelphia have
refused tho motions for a new trial and in
arrest of judgement in the caso of Dr. Dy-
ott. Ve aro not aware that ho has as yet
roceivtd his sentence, but presume he will
bo sent to the penitentiary for a term ol
years.
