Mr; Editor. Dear Sir As local news is
always perused with much interest by the
people of the different parts of a country or
community, wherein a newspaper is published.
and as your paper is read by a large number
of citizens, both in this and other counties.
I propose dropping you a few lines by way
of friendlv correspondence. Well, as the
glorious fourth is past, and as every body en
joyed themselves on that day according to
their own liking, and as celebrations was the
order of the day throughout this land of Lib
erty; perhaps a short description of how 'ye
good people of ye" rural village of Chest
Springs and vicinity celebrated the day,
would not prove uninteresting to your many
readers: Some time ago the Chest Spring
and AshLni Sunday Schools, agreed to cele
brate the 84th anniversary of our National
Independence, in a Patriotic and becoming
manner, and selected Mr. Nutters grove as
the most suitable place for the occasion. The
morning did not promise to be fine but tow
ards noon it became more pleasant.
By previous arrangement the several schools
repaired to Mr. Nutters large and commmo-
dious Hall, about 10 o'clock, and after friend
ly greetings by all, the choirs sang several
pieces appropriate to the occasion. The or
der of the day was then proclaimed by the
llev. M. P. Doyle, of the M. E. Church,
when all present formed into ranks, the dif
ferent schools under the immediate care of
their respective superintendents and teachers.
At the head of each class beautiful banners
was borne. The procession was headed by
31. D. Wagner who unfurled the stars and
stars and stripes to the breeze.
The procession moved in good order from
the hall to the place selected for the celebra
tion of the day. which was well laid out and
arranged for the occasion. The speakers
s.and was a complete bower, covered with
evergreen, and beautifully decorated with
wreaths, boquets, flags. &.c, &c, displaying
at one view the patriotism aud good taste of
the ladies conuected with the Sunday School
celcbratiou at this place. Seats were arran
ged in front of speakers stand, sufficient to
seat between two and three hundred persons;
oack ot wnicn, unarsome beautuul sugars,
stood the table, sufficiently large to accommo
date from ciety to one hundred persons. A
few paces from the table a swing was erec
ted and which was much enjoyed by those
present.
The c.lvbration of the day ia the grove
was opened with prayer by the llev. Mr.
Hi'.l of the Methodist Church, after which
several patriotic odes was sung. Mr, J. J.
Will was then called to read the Declaration
of Independence; who responded to the call
in a very appropriate and logical speech, dis
criptive of the important document which
be was aboutto read, and which was doubtless
intended and calculated to impress upon the
minds of his hearers, the lasting debt of grat
itude, which we as a nation owe to the sign
ers of the Declaration of Independence; as
well as to inspire a soul thriliicg love for the
fundamental truths set fourth thereia. This
speech had the desired effect each word as
they fell from the speakers lips, appeared to
send a thrill through the hearts of all present
and to arousd within each heart the patriotic
spirit of our forefathers.
The Rev. 3Ir. Hill was then called upon
who aro-e and responded to the call
in an eloquent and -'patrotic Sunday
School oration, free from sectarian prejudices,
and which was well calculated to impress
upon the minds of all those present, and es
neeisllv the vounar. a deen interrst in, and a
r j a .
holy zeal for the welfare and preservation of
our country.
The Chest Springs Sunday School class was
then examined by the Superintendent of the
school. The class acquitted themselves with
much credit to themselves, as well as their
teachers.
Dinner was then announced by thosa hav
ing charge of it. The different classes were
then conducted to the table by their teachers,
along a circutuous path prepared for the oc
casion, followed in good order by all present
to the table, which groaned under the weight
of the good tLing9 prepared and gratuously
given, (by the patriotic and liberal hearted
people of Ashland and Chest Springs.) for
the occasion, to which all did ample justice.
While the guests at the different tables were
being helped to the good things before them,
those for which there was not room at the
table, enjoyed themselves by swinging and
other amusements, uutil their turns came,
after all had regailcd and enjoyed themselves
in the be6t manner possible, the cloth was
then removed from the table, and J. J. Will
was loudly called upon for a patriotic speech,
who arose and responded to the call in one
of the most eloquent and impressive speeches
we ever listened to. He described in the
mcst vivid manner the grievances heaped
upon the Colonies, by the hand of British
oppression, and which finally excited them to
shake off the yoke of Tyranny, and to become
ODe of the freest, happiest and bravest nation
in the world. The manner in which he de
scribed the various scenes connected with the
early history of cur country; its rise and pro
gress, the union and its preservation, its des
tiny and blessings to man, and the prophecy
made by John Adams on the 5th of July,
1776, and its fulfilment by the celebration of
the day. throughout the length and breadth
of the land; was touchingly beautiful. As
Mr. Will w.iS about retiring from the stand,
he was greeted with a shower of boquts,
thrown upon him by the ladies, to which he
replied in a a short but most pleasing and
gallant speech. After which Mies Addie
Be ek, Miss Annie Cryder, and Miss Sarah
Kratzar, in behalf of the Ashland School,
presented the Rev. Mr. Hill, with an orange
stand and a very large and beautiful oake as
a testimonial of regard, to which he re

sponded in a pleasing and poetical speech,
31rs Goodin Bryant, Miss F. 31. Nutter,
and 3Iiss. Olive E. Nutter presented 3Ir. F
Doyle, with a like stimotenial of regard from
the Chest SpriDg school, when 3Ir. Doyle arose
and returned his thanks to the donors &, hoped
that the utmost good feelings might prevail a
mong all classes sects, and denominations of
Christians within our glorious country.
Towards the close of the day all repaired
in good order again in front of the nail,
where they sang several patriotic odes, when
all returned to their respective homes, all ap
parently well pleased with the celebration of
the day

MISCELLANEOUS.
llotv Bob C. Sold Ills Uorse Tor the
Purpose of JLearin? tlic City.
Those persons who are familiar with Bos
ton as it stood some fifteen years since, will
recollect that it was entirely connected with
other part3 of the known world by bridges.
Those not familiar with it must take the aver
ment of this relator as a sad and sober real
ity. In a Boston paper of blessed memory, at
said aboriginal and mediocvol period, of Bos
tanic existence, the following advertisment ap
pearance one morning:
Uorse for Sale. A fine sorrel horse, six
teen hands hih; excellent for carnage, and
broken to the saddle, is now offered on advan
tageous terms to any one wishing to purchase
Sole reasons for the sale, that the owner wish
es to leave the city. Address Robert C ,
No. , Tremont street.
On the following day as Robert C , was
walking up Chesnut en rjxUe for his counting
room, he was overtaken oy a menu, wno,
after passing the usual complimeuts of the
season -remarked
I see you wish to dispose of your sorrel
horse "
"Yes," said Bob in a monotone.
"Good horse," veutured bis friend.
"Sublime!" returned Bob.
"I presume you'll warrant him?"
"Warrant him!" and Bob took a long puff
at his cigar. ."Of course, 1 11 warrant him
literally to my advertismect."
"And you will guarantee him good and
sound? Do you know. Bob, I've half a no
tion to invest personally? I think the only
reason you have for selling is that you wish
to leave the city."
"Correct to the letter."
After a few moments' thought, the bar
gain was struck, and in half an hour Bob
smiled pleasantly to . see his friend gallop
down the street astride the sorrel.
Afternoon came 'round and the purchaser
came with it.
"Bob," he said dismally. ' Bob."
"Yours to command, sir "
"Bob I don't want to get in a phronzy
about my sorrel I entertain great respect
for that sorrel, when I remember his pedigree
and all that sort of thing
"Damned by Lady Suffolk."
"And damned by myself, Bob by thun
der. Bob now 1 swear, Bob, you know
that I am not apt to"
"I should say not," was the mock rejoin
der. " '
"But I swear Bob, it's too bad."
"No, you don't tell roe so."
"But I insist that I do tell you
miserable brute won't Ah! now
so. The

Bob you've swindled me. You knew he
wasn't worth his feed."
"Splendid animal! But I'll abide by my
vi ill i am jr.
V "And literallv to Your advertisement."
Literally."
"Well, Bob, he goes very well till he gets
to . briJ je and then he stops. Pon my
word I've done everything but prying him
ovcryvith a fence rail."
"Aid he won't stir?"
"NV a step."
"I kicw it," said Bob, calmly.
"Knev it! What becomes of your war
ranty? Xnew it? And you called him a
good hor?"
"I didn". warrant him on that point, thou'h
In fact, I aigned it quite plainly in the pa
per as a reaton for wishing to part with him,
that he woull not cross a bridge."
"1 have aopy here. Read such a clause
if you can, &d I'll submit to the loss with
pleasure. Wtald not cross a bridge, eh?
Why there's nt such a word in the adver
tisement.'" Bob took the aper from his hand and read
slowly and distia tly, with a curious twink
ling of the eye:
"Sole reason f-hthe sale, that the owner
tcislies to leaith&-,'ty."
As the last rays V the setting sun tinged
the chimney tops an clothed the dark, dead
walls with the goldti 6pleudor, a quivering
little. Voice was heard o respond:
"That's so!"
The Frenchman's Duel.
A Frenchman was taught a duel with an
American; the conditioniyero that one shot
should be exchanged, an) bat the precedence
should go by lot The limchmen got the
first chance, but failed to t; his adversary.
As the Yankee lifted np huweapon the oth
er called out:
"Hold, I will buy your slat!"
All were astonished at this i but his oppo
nent answered: . ,
"How much will you givc?" 0
"ij'ive hundred pounds."
Nonsense!" cried the Yankee.taking aim
at him; "I am a good marksman l-on, set too
low a value upon yourself."
You estimate ma at too hisa price,"
said the Frenchman, "but I will gvQ you a
thousand pounds!"
Aerreed!" cried tha Yankee, and a duel
wps at an end.
A Hairy Shop Keeper.
Upon the banks of the Mississippi, in the
State of Tennessee, there occe dwelt an
old chap by the name of Yad Tom Yad.
Now Torn bad been an honest hardworking
man all his life, but had never owned a sad
die; but as Tom grew old his wealth and im
portance increased, and with it a de-sire for
Hog skin; so Le one day packed up a clean
shirt stuffed a hundred dollars in his wallet,
stepped upon a steamboat and away he star
ted down the river to New Orleans to buy
him a saddle. Now this was the first trip
Tom ever made, he had lived all his life where
he was born, and never heard any other lan
guage than th'atof his piothers tongue. In
the course few days he landed upon the
levee at New Orleans. '
Poor Tom little kuew what he had to en
counter. The Frenchman was there, the
Italian was there, the Spaniard was there,
the German was there soma from all parts
of the world were crowded upon the levee;
and there was Tom with his eyes stretched
and ears open completely mystified and be
wildered at the strange jargon going on around
him, be stood it as long as mortal man well
could, and at last struck out with his mind
fully prepared to be surprised at nothing he
caw, upon his crraud of the saddle.
After wandaiing about the city for sjaie
time, he at length found a saddler's shop.
Tom with heart elate walked in.
The first and only living creature which
met his vissiou was a baboon of the largest
species, sitting upon the counter, playing
with the girths which were hanging from the
saddlo immediately over his head. Tom very
politely addressed him.
"How do you do sir?"
The baboon grinned and codded.
I wish to buy a saddle," says Tom. j
ThA simp Tnrps5ion frfm the mnnVor
In a louder key from Tom.
"I want to buy a saddle."
A very polite grin from the baboon.
"I will give you twenty dollars for that
saddle," says Tom at the same time handing
him a 20 bill.
The auiinal having seen his master put
money into the drawer, took it, and hopping
along the counter, made a deposit of Tom's
20 note. He returned however immediate
ly to his former position.
"Well, hand U3 down the pig skin."
Very little notice from the baboon.
"Hang it why don't you give me my sad
dle? I have paid you for it, so hand it down,
or I will take it myself."
An awful chattering from the baboon, Tom
not intending to be fooled with any longer,
reached out and caught hold of his property;
but no sooner had the poor fellow done so,
than the nails and teeth of the monkey were
driven into his arm- Tom kicked and swore
the baboon bit and screamed, until at last
the owner of the shop, a Frenchman, with
long moustache came rushing into the room.
"What you do sare? What you want ia
here old rascal? By car, you shall give mo
satis facsune."
Tom not in the least daunted., but very
much exasperated, ripped out:
"You infernel old hairy mouthed scoun
drel! I believe you wish to steal my twenty
dollars! I came in here bought a saddle,
paid the money down for it, and now when
I want to be going with it, your 'son' there
has refused to let mo have it!"
Tom, however got his saddle, and returned
the next morning on the boat going up the
river; but he has been beard to swear
it was th last one he ever wbhed to pur
chase. A Plucky Pup. Few persons ever had
more experienca than 31'NaIIy in the care
and management of dos. His whole life
had been devoted to their training, and the
study of their habits and qualities of breed.
But there was one pup upou whom 3!ac had
bestowed more than ordiuary attention, for.
as the dog fancier observed he was plucky.
One day. while 3Iac was busily engaged in
"curtailing" the superabundant (to his view)
proportions of his pets, he heard the musical
voice of his better balf crying for help 3Iac
ran with all possible speed to her relief, and
fouu 1 his better half firmly holding on to
the narrative of a quadruped, who bad a
death grip on the calf of a poor pedlar's leg.
A entle word from 3Iac and ho released his
hold.
"Are you hurted?" asked Mac, patting his
favourite upon the head as he gazed at the
peddlar. r
"Hurted?" groaned the pedlar, as he rais
ed the leg of his pantaloons to gaze at the
wound. ' The infernal brute has torn my
leg into 6tnngs. Look here."
"Yis!" said 3Iac, complacently; "it's a
nasty bite you have, but man, dear, wasn't it
a bould offer for a young pup?"
Keen Satire. At a ball one evening, a
plain country gentleman had engaged a pret
ty coquette for the uext dance, but a gallant
captain coming along persuaded the lady to
abandon her previous engagement in favor
of himself. The plain yoeuiau overhearing
all that had passed, with a rigid indifference
moved toward a card table, aud sat down to
play a game of whist. The captain, in a few
minutes afterward, stepped up to the lady to
excuse himself, as he was engaged to another
he had forgotton. The coqutte, much cha
grinned, approached the whist "table, in
hopes to secure her first partner, and said;
"I believe Mr. B , it is time to take our po
sitions." The old-fashioned suitor, in the act
of dividing a pack for the next dealer, cour
teously replied. "No, madam. I mean to
keep my position, when ladies shufile, I
cut."
It is little troubles that wears the hem out.
It is easier to throw a bombshell a mile than
a fcataer even with artillery. Forty debts
of a dollar each, will cause you more trouble
and dunning than one big one of a thousand.
Simple Division.
A Southern planter named P- . pretty
well to do in the world now, was some twenty
years ago a poor boy oa the Eastern Shore of
Maryland. One of the most marked traits of
his character was an ordinate love'of money.
In the course of time P , was of age, and
thought it was about time to get married.
He went to a nciabboring village, and was
introduced to the daughter of Judge
"Fine gal," said the embryo speculator to bi$
friends, who were gaming him an entrance
among the elite.
"Very."
"How much might Judge B , be
worth?"
"About ten thousand dollar?," was the re
ply.
"Anl how many children has be got?"
continued P .
"Only three."
"Three into tea goesi"Are times and one
third over" mentally ciphered P , here
was a chance, and he improved it too He
made love to the beautiful and unsophistica
ted daughter of the J u Ige and all his pos
sessions. Strange to say, for he was as un
coutch a looking cur as ever went unlicked,
his suit prospered and they were raarried.
Tnc honeymoon passed off as all honeymoons
do, and they were happy. The bride wa9
lively and chatty, and ma-ie allusions to her
brothers and sifters. Startled at so many
names he thought should not be in the cata
logue of relations, one even at tea he said:
"My dear, I thought there were but three
of you."
"So there are, but pa's first wife had eight
more."
1'JIevcn into ten, no times and nearly otcr,
said the astonished P , who had jump
ed up and kicked over a chair, and groaned
in perfect aony. "I'm sold!"
Jfjiisler of the Dtcp. The Great Eastern's
tonnage is greater than the Niagara, Ilim
malaya and General Admiral combined. It
is five times greater than that of the occe
magnificent Hue of battle ship Pennsylvania;
six times as great as that of the Great Brit
ain, wnica was considered tue 'Heaviest raon
stcr of the deep" a few years since, and equal
to the entire tonnage of all the ships of the
line (feven) afloat in the United States Navy.
It would require more than twelve thousand
horses to move on shore, the timber which
the Great Eastern contains; and the weight of
iron used in her construction is greater than
the total tonnage of the steam frigate Niagara
All the full grown oak in Scotland would not
suffice to build one Great Eastern.
Patriots Abundant. The Reading (Pa.)
Gazette says there are fourteen offices in the
gift of the people of Lancaster county this fall
for which there arc no Ies than eighty-two
candidates in one party alone. Suppose there
are as many in the other party; here are one
hundred an l sixty four noble patriots ready
to serve "the dear people," but alas! one bun

made by a chap at Sugar Creek, Ohio, who
was boring for oil. He says:' "At the depth

A Delightful legend. There is a charming
tradition connected with the site on which th
Temple of Solomon was erected. It is said to
have been occupied in common by two broth
ers, one of whom had a family; the other
none. On this spot was sown a field of wheat
On the evening succeeding the harvest, the
wheat having been gathered in seperate
sh?eks. tbe elder brother said to Lis wife.
"My younger brother is unable to bear tha
burden and heat of the day; I will arise, taka
off my shocks and place with his, without Lis
knowledge." The young brother, being ac
tuated by the same benevolent motives.
Said within himself, "My elder brother baa a
family, and I have none; I will contribute to
their support; I will arise, take off my shocks
place with his without his knowledge." Judge
of their mutual astonishment when on the fol
lowing morning, they found their respective
shocks undiminished. This course of event
transpired for several ni bts. when each resol--
ved in his own mind to stand guard and solve
the mystery. They diJ so; when, on the fol
lowing night they met each other half way
between their respective shocks, with their
arms full. Upon ground hallowed with such
associations as this was the temple of Solomon
erected so spacious and magnificent the
wonder and admiration of the world. Alas!
in those days, bow many would sooner steal
their neighbor's whole shock rather than &di
to it a single sheaf!
Conjugal Alanntrs in Havana. Conjugal
manners in Havana must be in a pleasing
primitive state. As a laly of eminent re
spcetabillity was circulating through the
streets of a Cuban city, a msn ru.sbed up and
dismantled her person of a watch and dia
mond jewelry, crying in argry and reproach
ful tones "Here you are decked oat in all
the jewelry, I have worked S3 hard to give
you, paying visits, I sup-pose to your lovers;
but give me the jewelry and go your way; I
will have nothing more to do with you " Sev
eral young men stood near, and viewed tho
transaction complacently. Oa being reproach
ed by the lady for permitting her to be robb2d
in their presence, they replied, that from his
lansuage and manner they thought the man
to be her husband. Mirtial manners in Ha
vana ma st be in a depJcr-blc condition, in
deed, to have warranted such a supposition.
