i'oirth or Jilt. Tho 84th Anniversary ol
American Independence was celebrated at a
numlKT of places iu this county.
At Clover Hill.a Sabbath School Celebration
va well attended, and the proceedings were
of a pleasant and entertaining character. An
trxcellenl dinner which had been liberal!- pro
pared by tho people ot tho neighborhood,
having been disposed of, the scholars, parents
and spectators seated themselves around a
stand erected for the occasion, and listened,
to the reading of the Declaration ot Indepen
dence, and to an appropriate address from
Rev. J. M.Galloway, after which, they en
gaged in such pastimes as each felt inclined
to. The place selected for holding tho cele
bration, Is a beautiful one a forest, on a high
hill, which terminating abruptly, is washed at
its base ty the waters of tho Clearfield Creek,
on tho opposite side of which stretch out fields,
forests, hills and dales, in grand succession,
that inspire the beholder with a sort of pleas
urable awe and amazement.
At Goshen School House a very large cele
bration was held, the Goshen, Shawsville, and
the two Mt. Joy Sabbalb Schools being in at
tendance. The Clearfield Kifle Company was
also present, and took part in the proceedings.
A good dinner was disposed of, and speeches
were made by Rev. M. King and J. II. Larri
raer, Esq. Altogether, this was ono of tho
best celebrations we have heard of being held
n this region. Oar thanks are due some of
the kindlriends wbo took part in the celebra
tion, for several slices of good cake.
, The Sabbath Schools in the vicinity ot Cen
re Chnrch assembled on the old Campground
on Addleman's farm, and were addressed by
II. B. Swoope and Israel Test, Esquires. We
are told that about SOO pet sons were In atten
dance. Th account of the proceedings was
accompanied svith an excellent cake a pres
et from Mrs. L. K. McCullough, lor which all
hands in the office tender their thanks.
There was also a Sabbath School celebration
In Curwensvill,which we are informed passed
3 in the roost agreable manner.
We understand that a celebration was also
held at Glen Hope, in Beccaria township.
clbrat!an was held in this place. On
te evtning cf the 3d. however, there was
quite a displiy of fireworks, rind on the eve
nlng of the'l;h, the tu-mf.il b.rl f the Clear
field Rifle Company came to town and liveued
us np with thtfir music. V7e mast In all can
dor say that this band, considering all things.
play in a highly creditable style, and receive
commendatory . remarks from all we heard
speak of them.
Aeeested. E. G. Merrifleld, a stsgo driver,
was yesterday arrested In this place on a war
rant from Fhilipsburg, in which ho is charged
with having taken $143, which Jacob Kepler
had left in his linen coat whilst playing
ball in that place, about fonr weeks ago.
Merrifleld, it seems, has of late been rather
flush of money, and this, in connection with
the fact ot his having bought out the saloon
kept here by Mr. Ed. Goodwin, and other cir
curostances, fastened suspicion upon him and
led to his arrest. Wo understand be alleges
that he procured some money from a brother
in Pittsburgh, and that It was in this way ho
was enabled to purchase the saloon. He was
taken to Philipsburg for examination.
