The sun rose last Saturday, July 4th, bright and clear, and at an early hour the roads leading into Bloomington were crowded with all manner of vehicles and with persons on horseback, each one hurrying Bloomiugtouward. People came from Brown, Greene, Jackson, Morgan, Lawrence and Owen counties, and by ten o'clock the principal streets were orowded with a perspiring, jostling mass of good-natured humanity, each one seemingly intent only on having a jolly good time. The crowd was estimated by competent judges to be the largest ever seen in the town, as well as the best behaved and most orderly. The program
prepared by the committee of ar-
roomrYL; r rried

A brilliant comet maybe looked for in the southwestern heavens the latter part of this month or early in August. It is impossible to see it at the present time as it travels in the orbit of the sun whose brilliant light during the day prevents the human eye from gazing at it. The deflection by the latter part of this month will, however, bring it above the horizen during the early evening hours, when it will be plainly visible and will be of the first magnitude.

the Red Mens' Fourth of July celebration was phenomenally unprecedented. The Brazil Cornet Band had been employed, and arrived in town on Friday evening in time to
give an open air concert in the court house park. Their playing was a surprise to those who had never heard them, and their drill
evolutions are given with clock work precision. Their music add
ed much to the pleasure and success
of the day. The processious were well arranged and skillfully handled and left a favorable impression upon our visitors. The fire depart
ment made an independent display that would have been a credit to any city. The daylight fire-works were novelties that were quite taking, and the fire-works at night were witnessed by an immense concourse of people, who seemed highly pleased and well satisfied.
