celebrition of the 4th of July, at Clinton,
in this county.
Dr John Pollock, presided, and W Weit

The Declaration was read by Dr Pollock,
and Col. McMortrin delivered en address
entirely appropriate to the occasion, which
, wee received with marked applause by the
company. After passing the day in a man--

and arouse the patriotism of those who par

Max BOHM. -I( will be seen, on refer
',lines to our advertising columns, that this
inimitable Musiciangives his farewell Con
cart this evening. To those who have not
yet heard him, we can safely say, that it is
seldom an opportunity offers to enjoy so
rich a treat. We have heard but one op
inion expressed of his performances,--that
of unqualified admiration, and we advise
nil who can appreciate good music, to at
tend his Concert to-night.
