The Soldiers' Orphans and the Juniata Scouts observed the day there. The Centennial Exhibition Commissioner have decided the Sunday question, definite ly the Exhibition is to be kepi closed on ths Sabbath day. Some evenings ago a storm did consider fcble damage to projierty IB and about 11c Alislerviiie, sucb as the unrooting of build ings and uprooting of trees. A brilliant rainbow appeared east of town, and a gorgeous sunset west of town, on the evening ot the 4th, as if to bless the peace ful ceremonies of the Centcnuial Jubilee. J. B. M.

Mr. Wellington Smith received a savere bruise on the head iroiu the fall of a scant ling, while helping to put up the arches at the intersection of Bridge and Main streets, on the 3d ot July. There was less drunkenness on the 4th than ever before on a great jubilee occasion. The community is becoming intelligent enough to understand that it does not pay to drink till sickuess takes place.

The Pennsylvania Democratic delegation at St. Louis would not permit Correjoit denls of newspapers to be present to wit ness their deliberations. They were afraid of the light of day. ''Darkness and sin go hand in baud ; they love each other." From all accounts the 4th in Philadelphia was magnificently celebrated, the great Ex hibition being for the day almost forgotten, liut the fact of the case is, the Exhibition was gotten up in honor of tbe Centennial stent, and not the event for the Exhibition. A few days ago Associate Judge James Lynd, of the Court of Common Pleas So. a, of Philadelphia, had a finger hurt, by a cord by which be was leading a Durham calf into pasture near bis house. The finger grew paiulul and resulted in lock-jaw, from which the Judge died. The world didn't come to an end on the 4th of July, as was predicted, but the Dem ocrats, a lew days before the 4th, allowed a woman to sfeak in their National Nomina ting Convention iu St. Louis. Phi be Coz ens is the lady's name. Score one for the Democracy and two tor the ladies. A few days since a man named Williams Was killed in a spree at Economy, Beaver county, this State. At first it was believed that be was a common tramp, but papers about his person lead to his identification. He was from Lvncbburg, Va., and was the owner of an estate valued at $200,000. Tb illumination on the evening of the 8rd, started three or four fires. Fortunate ly they were all discovered in time to pre vent serious damage to property. A fire is a calamity at any time, but a fire started by accident in a time of general rejoicing is not io b-i compared to one kindled by a human cevii, through malice or hope of gain. ' Some days ago Phillipsburg, Centre county, was devastated by a tire that de stroyed about $100,000 worth of property. David Murphy, a native of this place, was a sufferer by it, having but recently engaged in the publication of the Journal in that place. The Journal office was among the property destroyed. The fire origins ted in the coal oil room of a hardware store. Last Saturday, at noon, a daughter of Cloyd Parker, of th's borough, aged about 6 years, went out to the pump for a pitcher of water. - A misstep caused the child to fall la tbe tall the pitcher was broken ; a sharp edge of one of the pieces of the broken pitcher came in contact with the wrist of the child's right arm, and so lacerated and cut the muscles that the future usefulness of tbe hand is in doubt. Tonsorial Professor Bobison addressed the citizens of Miffiintown from the various street corners on the 4th, in exense for the non-appearance of Prof, flidan with his rolling sphere of fire. The Professor spoke from a horseback, and was extravagaut in flourishing a sword about tea feet long. Gesticulation gave him fluency. On Friday night, tbe weather being favorable, Prof. Hid an traversed the streets with his rolling globe, and a band of strange music. A number of flags were stolen from, the Drug Store of Banks &. Haulin, and from the Sentinel and Republican Office, and two were stolen from the carriage- of the editor of this paper, during the Centennial Jubilee in honor of the 4tb. A motto on one of the banners carried in the proces sion of the 3rd said, If any man haul down the American Flag, shoot him." It is not proposed to shoot the wretches who stole the flags, but there is no question but that on every 4th of July they live in the future, the fact will force itself oo their' minds that they are numbered among the thieves of the Centennial 4th of July, 1876. The Centennial Jubilee at Mifflirr - town, la the year 1776 Juniata county, that is composed of nest of vaileya among the toot mouutaiua of the Alle gheny chain of mountains, had so ex istence as a county. JJow many set tlers were then within what are now bar territorial limits, is not known, defi nitely. It was then more the hunting ground of Indians, than the habitation of civilized inen. Doubtless the few settlers who lived secluded among her hills were as patriotio in the cause that led to Independence as the same num ber of people anywhere else, and con tributed their share to the movement that has within one hundred years given to the world the first practical Repub lic that the people of the world have any knowledge of. In 1812 the popu lation had so increased that a number of military organizations were formed within her limits, and entered the army against Great Britain. That date was also previous to county organization. Thus in the two great initial events that led to the complete severance t.f Eiuropean control, Juniata county aota not appear on the surface. She did not have separate organization till in i 1831. liut as with thousands of other counties that were not in existence to help herald in the two great events that gave birth to the country's National Independence, she was alert for tbe 4th of July, 1876, ready to render a joyous Jubilee in honor of tbe one buudredtb year of the Declaration of Independence. It is true that cat all of the population took active, visible part in tbe celebra tion of tbe day. A number said thit they would not participate in any dem onstrations, or flag displays, or illumi nations, but that they would be present in spirit in all proper demonstrations. Others said that they would not parti cipate in demonstration, but that they would pray Deity to vouchsafe blessings on the Republic and perpetuate it to the remotest days. , However, if the active participants in demonstration in honor of the event could have been grouped at one central point, they would have numbered fully one-third of the population of the county, and if those who actively participated, and those who were with the particpaots in spirit, and those who prayed for the perpetuation of the Republic, had been all in one place, tbere would have been but a small percentage left who had forgotten, or neglected the great event. The enthusiasm was not manufactured ; it was tbe real, pure patriotio enthusi asm that crops out when a nation needs to be saved, or in honor of some great N'atioual event, and if the season bad been, as is sometimes the case, so far advanced as to have had the wheat har vest gather"!, there would have been scarcely the population aside from those who took active part, or were eager and encouraging spectators. THE DEMONSTRATION proper, was most properly begun on the evening of the 3rJ, by the children of the towns assembling at Court House Square, and formiug in procession uuder the MarshaUhip of Captain Cornelius. McClellan, and to tbe music of the j Juniata Cornet Band paraded through i .1 . . t ,l:m- . J T . - me streets oi luimiuiown auu x aiier son. Fifty, sixty, seventy years heuce, many of the participants iu that parade can relate to posterity the joy of the occasion. They were the youngest of the population, except babes iu cradles, and belong to tbe army of young America that is uiarohing np to nil the places of taeir fathers as they are gathered into the harvest of the future world. Banners with apptopri ate inscriptions dotted tbe procession, aud every participant carried an Amer ican fisg. Tbe Parade was scarcely over belore the shades of evening fell, and cast a darkness on tbe town that was eagerly longed for, by old and joung, so that they might illuminate tbe bouses in honor of tbe 100th An niversary of American ludependenue. Busy hands put lights io the wiudews, eager men aud boys bung beautiful Ctiiuese lanterns, gotten uj for Inde pendence Day, from the arches that rpauned tbe street at Showers & Scholia', at the intersection of Maiu aud Bridge streets, at Will's, at tbe I'ost Office, aod at the intersection of Main and Orange streets. The lights of the lanterns cast a halo on the evergreen arches aud dis played tbe national colors that were hung about them, and beautified in light other decorations that were pendant therefrom. By the time that all tbe bouses of tbe town, except a few, were illuminated in a flood of light, the like of which bad been scarcely imagined, aod the like of whioh may never again be seen, before the Centeunial year 1976, unless some great National event should stimulate the patriotism of the community into life, a torch-light pro cession, beaded by tbe Juniata Cornet Band, was ready to move from tbe in tersection of Main and Bridge streets, on which two streets it formed under tbe Marsbalsbip of Captain Cornelius McClellan. How many were in it no man knoweth ; the Division Marshals failed to know, for citizens dropped into it, without ceremony, anywhere that it suited their convenience, and they were welcome piovided they carried a Chi nese lantern or a torch. There was a large company of girls, beaded by thirty-eight of their ex, - who rep resented the number of States and Territories within the Government. A long line of Junior American Mechanics, . moved in the parade. A company of fantastics marched with the processiou, to the tap of their own drum, and their captain scraped and bowed to those of tbe spectators along tbe streets that he knew, like a French dancing master, and just as if he were giving his company a lesson iu nodding and bowing. It was a mixed proces sion, and fairly represented American life. Children of all phases and con ditions of American life were in it. So with the men, the labor, the. business, tbe money, law, medicine,' tbe offices, foreigners, tbe colored people, all but preachers and editors ware represented in lice. Some kind individual excused them by declaring that the preachers were too busy praying for the harmo nious snccessful termination of tbe pro cession, ' and the perpetuation of tbe Republic, and that the editors were too busy taking notes. -- , Pattersooj though 60 years younger than Mifflin, oame np to the help in a manner that proclaims the vitality of Yeans America fully. Ber procession joined that of Mifflin on Bridge street, and as one procession, under tbe Mar shahhip of Captain Cornelius McClel lan, paraded through the streets of the two towns, hundreds of people followed tbe procession from one town to , the j other: The bead of their procession was led by a team of four horsee in a ragon, all of which were appropriately decorated. ' In the wagon were thirteen young ladies: representing, in Appropri ate costume, the thirteen original States, and the Jod Jess of Liberty. . The God deal of Liberty was Miss Kate Hollo baugh, and tbe representatives of the difieretit States were Miss Blanch Cra mer, Miss Ellie Caetner, Miss Ada Die' trick, Miss Alice Wright, Miss Manie tioshen, Mies Lizzie Dietrick, Miss Katie McKnight, Miss Annie Conner, Miss Sallie Foreman, Miss Moilie Die trick, Miss Maggie Laird, Miss Jessie Cramer, and Miss Lizzie McKnight. Following the thirteen original States and the Goddess of Liberty, came a two-horse carriage, to represent the equipage of George Washington, and Lady Washington, as she was called in aristocratic language. - The carriage contained, as the representative of George Washington, in colonial cos tume, Mr. Joseph Rodgers, and Mrs. John Thompson as Lady Wash ington, in full colonial costume, and tonsorial Professor John Kobiswn as driver, in livery of the days of 1776. George Washington and Lady bad a body-guard, on foot. Tbe guard num bered four men, and wera citizens of Patterson. Each man carried a torch and marched two on a side of the car riage, one behind the other. Tbe names of the guard were Mr. James North, Mr. TheDrus Garman, Mr. Ed. Mangle and Mr. Jefferson Middagh. Iu tbe procession proper the same gen eral features of the Mifflin procession were visible. After the streets had all been properly paraded, tbe processions disbanded where they had united, namely, at the intersection of Main and Bridge streets, and the individual mem bers of the same indulged in whatever demonstrations fancy dictated. Shortly after the disbandtnent of the processions, a second procession, com prised entirely of men on horseback, paraded tbe streets, and near the hour of midnight still another procession, composed of men on foot, in long white robes, marched through the streets. Their music consisted of a drum tap at the head of, aod a tooting born at the rear end of the procession. Several men on horseback marshaled it, and tbe front man carried an illuminated pumpkin on his head. The grand illuminations died under the extinguishing bands of the people who bad given them light, and the night sped on rapidly to midnight. On the illuminations a long chapter might be written, but in wiiting so, the locations of buildings, the names of tbe owners, the different tastes of the occupants, and the circumstances of the same, would compel an amount of individual description that would be entirely out of place in so general a demonstration. There was no individuality in it ; it was a spontaneous uprising, and is an index to what took place all over tbe country. The town-elock had scarcely ceased to announce tbe hour of midnight before tbe bells began to ring, and rang one Lour. The festivities, to a greater or less degree, were kept np till morning. The demonstration of tbe night just passed was deemed a sufficient recogni tion of the Centennial 4th. Indeed a more thorough anJ hearty demonstra tion would have been difficult to con ceive, so when daylight of tbe 4 th csme all that was necessary to do was to fill the programme by singing appro priate National songs at sunrise in front of the Court House, which was done by a number of citizens. The songs, sung, were " Red, White and Blue," The Str-Spaogled Banner," and "America." . ' At 9 o'clock, by programme, about 500 Sabbath School scholars were formed in procession, under the Mar sbalsbip, of Captain Cornelius McClel lan, on Main and Bridge streets, and thence marched, headed by the Juniata Cornet Band, to Riverside Park, where tbe programmed cercmouies, as follows, were happily rendered, in tbe Grand Stand : CEREMONIES .Music.

The PourtA of July at McCoys- viiie. - On the 4th of July the citizens of aicCovBville and surrounding1 coun try celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Nation's birth with on enthu siasm that showed that the people of that section of the county were de termined to do their full share tow ard commemorating the Declaration of Independence. As early as eight o clock the villajre was alive, and vehicles of all kinds, from the four-horse wagon to the light sulky, came pouring in from all directions, loaded with old men and matrons, young men and maidens, boys and girls, so that by ten o'clock A. M. perhaps the largest assembly that ever gathered at that place had met. A liberal display of bunting made that little quiet Tillage assume quite a gay and lively appearance. The street, the sidewalks, the houses, porches and everywhere were crowd ed with people, all anxious to make the celebration a success, and to have a pleasant day together. Among those who were conspicuously active in getting up the celebration was Dr. Samuel B. Crawford, to whose . zeal and energy much of the success was due. About ten o'clock the rattle of the tenor drum was heard, es the signal to form into procession, and as the line began to form under the Mar shalship of Dr. S. B. Crawford, the drum corps marched to the front of the line, and in a few moments the command was given to march to the music of the fife and drum, when the procession, numbering from 700 to 800, marched to the grove a short distance east of the town, where a stand had been erected for the speakers of the occasion. The meeting then organized by electing John Sams, Esq., President, and a number of Vice Presidents and Secretaries, after which prayer was ofiVred by Rev. Mr. Wallen. The Choir then sang the " Star Spangled Banner." Ilev. Mr. Kidd then read the Dec laration of Independence. Alfred J. Patterson, Esq., was then introduced, and delivered an oration, which was listened to with marked interest The Choir then sang " The Red, White and Blue," after which L. E. Atkinson, Esq., delivered an eloquent address. The Choir then sang another piece, which was followed by a brief speech from Mr. Lyons. This closed the exercises of the forenoon, and all parties immediately betook themselves to the dinner pre pared for them. The table not only "groaned with good things," but a part of it actually broke down. The dinner was good, and all seemed to enjoy it Some time after dinner the people again assembled, and Dr. L. Banks, being present, was called on, and en tertained the audience with an elo quent impromptu speech, which would lore done credit to one habit uated to the rostrum. The committee on toasts, by their chairman, Alfred J. Patterson, gave the following : "The American clergy, as repre sented among the signers of the Dec laration of Independence." Respond ed to by Rev. Mr. Wallen. "The women of the Revolution." Responded to by D. D. Stone. " The medical fraternity, as repre sented in the war of the Revoluiton, and by their skill and patriotism in the late war." Responded to by Dr. L. E. Atkinson. " The legal profession, as repre sented in the formation of our sys tem of government, and its subse quent legislation." Responded to by Jeremiah Lyons, Esq. "The American Manufacturer." Responded to by D. B. Spanogle. " The soldiers of the late war." Responded to by Maj. J. D. IIowelL " The American agriculturist, and laborer last, but not least the bone and sinew of our country." Re sponded to by Hon. Lewis Burch field. Soon after this the people began to return to their homes, and in a short time the grove, where from twelve to fifteen hundred people had assembled and mingled in social plea sures, assumed its natural quiet, ell having left Some days ago Office Wilson went out to haul a load of hay to bis stable a oue horse loti. For a while his beast worked satisfactorily, but by-and-by displayed the perversity of its kind, and refused to pull. The hay must needs be pnt in the stable, and, as tbe hour indicated rain, there was no time to waste in breaking the animal into a sensible recognition of the situation. Tbe beast was unhitched, and another one substituted, and the load of hay drawn to the foot of Cherry street hill at its intersec tion with Main street. At that point the second horse refoed to pull. Oflicer Wil son was philosophical and obtained a third horse, and got the load home With it.

The Centetnial 4th at Thompson town. Mb. Editor : The citizens and suburbans of our quiet little village, with their characteristic push, and their patriotism at the Hood-tide;, on the evening of July 3rd, raised in the town square-, one of the most beauti ful Liberty poles that ever unfurled a flag to the breeze. Its height above terra firvm is just 100 feet, with five feet in the e-rourd total lensrth 105 feet, with a butt diameter of eleven inches, and having but one splice. Talk about your straight things its straightness is the best example of perfection in nature and perpendic ular why a taut line from Zenith to Nadir woidd not vary a hair's breadth from the heart of that pole a fact But, candidly speaking, it is the most magnificent specimen of a pole you ever saw. It was donated by Mr. Samuel O. Evans, of Delaware town ship, splii-ed to perfection bv Messrs. Jacob Spicher and John 0. Dailgh erty, and raised by " all hands." A streamer eleven and a half feet Ions- graces the top, and an American flag twelve feet in length floats gracefully from a point eighty feet high. Cheer after cheer rent the air as the Stars and Stripes were run up, and long after did admiring crowds gather to feast their eyes on the gallant mast with the bright colors of her rigging, softened in the . " fairy moonlight ;" and not until after the merry peals of the old church bell had signalled the birth of a new Century and sank into silence, did our citizens seek repose. But it was short it was like the calm that precedes the storm for with the first rays of morning light came men, women and children to pay their homage to the flag that ruled a nation for the past old Cen tury, and to bid it God speed in glad dening the hearts of the people in the new.'" The day had commenced in earnest Squibs, fun and frolic, and a Sabbath School pic-nic in Thompson's grove, where addresses were delivered by Revs. Runyan, Co penhaver and Piper, occupied the day. At half-past six o'clock in the even ing the parties who had been attend ing the celebration in the woods, and the citizens of the place, generally, collected about the square, where a suitable platform had been erected (under the liberty pole), and an or ganization was effected by calling J. S. Lukens, Esq., to the chair. Messrs. E. A. Tennis and James Nelson were chosen Secretaries, and Messrs. J. G. Haldeman, Elihu Benner, Isaac Sel lers, S. M. Kepler, J. M. Parker, Na than Keeley, Daniel Bastress, J. P. AVickersham and Thomas Patton se lected as Vice Presidents of the meet ing. Mr. J. Warren Plett was then called upon, and responded to by reading from the platform the Declaration of Independence. During the reading there was perfect quiet and attention manifested on the part of all present and at the close there were rounds of cheers for Mr. Plett and the Declar ation. Dr. L N. Grubb was then called He took the stage and delivered one of the best Fourth of July orations that we have ever been permitted to listen to. At its' close there was an other round of cheers, from yoimg and old, for Dr. Grubb. The following gentlemen were then called upon in regular order : Mr. E. Benner, J. S. Lukens, Esq., Revs. Piper and Ruuyan, and Mr. John AV4 AVoods. Mr. L. Benner, and Revs. Piper and Runyan responded to the call nude upon them with some patri otic and soul-stirring remarks which brought forth the cheers of all pres ent The following resolutions were then adopted : - Resolved, That the thanks of the citizens of ThoinpsoHtown and vicinity are due aud they are hereby tendered to Mr. Samuel O. Evans for the liberty pf.le he so kindly pre sented for the use of this town. Retolred, Thiit the efforts or the ladies and gentlemen who lent a willing hand in the preparation ami arrangement for the observance of this day, are duly appreciated. After the adoption of the resolu tions the meeting adjourned. The balance of the evening was rendered lively by the ascension of four bal loons, one of which measured 25 feet in circumference. After dark the sky was lit np by the rapid explosion of sky rockets, the flying of lire balls, faring of anvils, and illumination by Roman candles. In conclusion, I have only to re mark that I believe I express the sen timent of all who were present when I say it was the best Fourth of July ever witnessed by the citizens of Thompsontown. . Some days ago, a load of ood was hauled three or four miles and unloaded at the house of Mr. John McLaughlin, in Turbett township. It had not lain long before some one of the family discovered that a brood of seven wrens lay in a nest in a hoilow stick that had been unloaded. Tbe old birds doubtless were in a nutter, miles away, over tbe loss of (be brood. A atroug feel ing of sympathy spiang up for tbe young birds. A couple of wrens at that time were caring for a nest full of young wrens, ou tbe porch of air. McLaughlin. The idea ws suggested that perhaps the porch pair of old wrens would adopt the brood that had been brought from the woods. Acting on the suggestion, the wood wrens were put into a basket aod bung near the nest on the porch. The old wrens, as was expected, adopted the strangers, and im mediately provided for their wants by feed ing them regularly daily. When the young birds hail grown strong enough to leave the basket, they were one day taken to tbe woods and allowed to leave. A few days ago Bellefonte, Centre coun ty, was visited by a terrific thunder storm. Kain fell in torrents, flooded cellars and carrying off dwellings in low districts. The water sweeping down the hillsides, destroy ed everything in its coarse. Harper Brothers, merchants, lost $2,000 in goods. B. Tyson was carried away in his slaughter house, and is supposed to bo drowned. The Fboenix Flouring Mills, Linn & McCoy's iron works, and Lnrtiu s iron works suffered great damage. Tbe railroad tracks were badly washed ont, and a dam carried away. to estimate of tbe loss, can be given at present.

And tbe tact that many such engage ments have been made on that day has nothing to do with tbe legality of the matter, for uo repetition of Unlawful acts can change either the spirit or tbe letter of tbe law which they violate.
