Mr Christopher Myers, of Oakland town ship, petitioned court for a commission to in quire into the insanity of Graut Albert, a boy aged about 18 years, who had l>een liv ing with him for several years.

Let independence be our boast, Ever mindful what it cost; Ever grateful for the prize, Let its altar reach the skies. Ou the sth of July, 177G, John Adams wrote: . , "Yesterday the greatest question was de cided which was ever debated in America, and greater, perhaps, never was or will be decided among men. A resolution was pass ed, without one dissenting colony, 'That these United States are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.' "I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great an niversary festival." John was right, the day has since been, and always will be celebrated as the greatest of National birth days, and this year in But ler, a special effort will be made to make the day a success. There will be a parade in the morning, of which a program will be seen below, a speech by S. F. Bowser, Esq., from the balcony of the Lowry House, and fireworks and picnics that evening. There are enough fireworks stor ed in Butler at present to shake the earth upon which the town stands, to fill the at mosphere with smoke, the sky with artificial stars, and last but not least, to anninilate the fingers of all the small boys. Fireworks are beautiful things, but they should be handled cautiously. The boys might take a lesson from the "following old rhymes. Ten little Angers toying with a mine- Bang! went the powder and then there were nine. Nine little fingers fixing rockets straight- Zip ! a kick backward, and then there were eight, Eight little fingers pointing up to heaven— Roman candle "busted" and then there were seven. Seven little fingers punk and powder mix- Punk was ignited, and then there were six. Six little fingers for a "sisser" strive— One went off with it, and then there were five. Five little fingers loading for a roar- Boom ! went the cannon, and then there were four. Four little fingers with a pack made free- Crash ! went a cracker, and then there were three. Three little fingers found the fuse burned blue Bomb shell too previous, and then there were two. Two little fingers having lots of fun- Pistol exploded, and then there were one. One little finger fooling with a gun— Didn't know 'twas loaded, and then there was none. The Fourth. At the meeting of the Fourth of July com mittee Tuesday evening, the Finance Com mittee reported having raised S2OO on a par tial canvass of the town, the Music Commit tee were instructed to make contracts with the Butler Band and Eureka Drum Corps, and Chief Marshall Mechling presented his program for the day as follows: FIRST DIVISION.
