The day set apart by our citizens for the, celebration of the time which freed the United States from the oppressions of english tyranny, dawned with clouds floating through the heaven* and threatening rainy weather, but the weather during1 the day was all that could have been desired, and the city at an earl/ hour w«yi~ thronged with people, excursions coming-in from all points on the roads centering here. Main street was decoraited with flags, shrubery, and pictures of the illustrious men who have taken a leading position in the history of our country. The procession formed about 10:80 o'clock it the public square and marched down Miain street headed by four Marshals followed by the Ringgold band, leading the Light, and Governor's Guards next in line were the carriages conveying the speakers invited to address the assembled citizens, at the Fair Grounds. These were succeeded by the chariots which were an active part in the exercises of the dayi

The McKeen Cadets came nexiln order, headed by theif band, and immediately in their rear were the veterans. Two more chariots, then came to view with a piece of canvas on which was .painted an advertisement of Hulman's "dauntless coffee," attached to one of their horses drawing a vehicle.

train of carriages, con

taining the Mayor and Councilmen, filled the next place in the procession-, and, to give these dignitaries a "finishing touch," a spring wagon, occupied by a family of grangers, kept pace with the rear carriage.'^ I

As the wheel of time continued to re volve, it brought to notice the Light Artillery and the Fire Department, and a few more revolutions brbught forth a decorated wagon, containing children dressed in white costumes, and, in the center ter of this youthful collection, was a lady representing the "Goddess of Liberty." Display wagons of different business houses of the city, few in number, follow' ed by persons in private carriages completed the procession.

The city was very quiet,consider ing the large number qf people there were on the streets, and no fights of any note oc curred to disturb the peace and unusual quiet with which the day was commein orated. Trains left the Union Depot regular intervals for the .. O.'

FAIR 'GROUNDS,''1'' ^I

and immediately after noon the grove^iras rapidly filled. The bands gave some very good selections, and about 3:80 the chariot races attracted the attention of all present.

The speaker's stand was then the point of interest, and the first address was delivered by R. W. Morgan, the choice of the populace of this county for Representative in the State Legislature. -"His speech occupied about fifteen minutes, and contained many interesting points. Hon. Wm. Eggleston next took the stand and delivered an address of about ten minutes' duration. Cries were then made for "Thompson," and he was brought to the front amidst cheers and applause by all present. His speech was not more than ten minutes long, but was frequently interrupted by cheers. He made a brief comparison between our government and that of other nations, and closed by saythat at the arrival of each Fourth he had always in the past turned with feelings of love to his old home among us, and expected such to be the case in the future.

The time had now arrived for another chariot race, and the crowd surged once more to the race track to witness the running of the horses. In this, as the first, the black horses, which were noticed on the streets fn the morning, came out victorious under the management of Mrs. McDonald, the wife of the gentleman who brought the chariots from Chicago. This concluded the exercises of the day, and, after circulating about the grounds for a short time, the crowd began graduually to disperse.

About six o'clock the cry of fight was heard near the south entrance but the police, who heard such cries many times during the day and, finding them false, did not notice the alarm until it became general. and looking in the direction of the gate saw by the excitement of the crowd that sqnething unusual was taking place. In a few moments several officers were ai the scene

He was then taken to his home, five miles north of town, where at last accounts he was resting as comfortably as could be expected.

About 7 o'clock in the evening the McKeen Cadets marched to the KOOBMAL SCHOOII YARD, where they gave an exhibition drill, but on account of those present who could not behave like civilized people, they could not go through all the movements. After they had completed their drill the dogB that were to perform were brought into the ring and amused the citizens for half an hour. Concerts were the next thing on the programme, and the Ringgold went to Court Park, while the Cadet band entertained the citizens at the corner of Seventh and Main streets. Thus closed another commemoration day, in which the actions of our citizens proved that thfe advance of ages cannot dull the 4uterest in the manifestation of our love for the peace and happiness which we ehjoy under the influence of a free Government, established by our brave and patriotic forefathers.

ADRIFT ON THE LAKE.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE IN AN OPEN BOAT WITH A RAVING MANIAC. TORONTO, ONT., July 5.—The steamer Empress, while crossing the lake from Niagara to this port, picked up a yawl hair filled with water, in which were tw men and a lad. One was Captain Morrii Fitzgerald, of the schooner Mercie Halli of Oswego, who was wild,1 incoherent And ravenous from hunger. Mate Ackerman lay partially insensible in the bottom, and the Doy was nearly scared to death and in a terrible state of exhaustion.

The Captain said he had been chased while in the yawl by pirates, who kept up a steady fire on him with needle gunsi He had seen alight on the lake and heard a voice calling: "Sailor, come here. There is one of the pirate boats near." He also said that white on his own schooner his crew had. conspired to rob him of $750i and to murder him afterward. Some of them were in favor, of cuttioghim up and packing him in a barrel, while others, less c6remonlbu8, were simply for thrCwitig hirti overboard. .All these statements he called upon the boy to corroborate.

The boy, when Separated from the Captain, tola a terrible tale of suffering and terror. He said that the Captain had ordered him and the mate into the boat from the schooneir had cut loose, and soon the mate discovered that tlie Captain had d'ellriuto tremons, and' endcavored to Stop him and return to the ship. The Captain picked up a bolt, knocked the mate senseless, and ordered the boy to row for life from the pirates. The boy worked at the oars for dear life, the Cap tain standing over him, shouting orders, brandishing ,an ax, and screaming in wild frenzy that the pirates were close on them—to pull harder, or he would kill him* Two days were thus spent. The mate partially recovering, was not allowed to rise by the Captain. The mate, Whose head, is split, and the boy are recovering. The Captain is in jail. t,

TANNKB'8 FAST.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY HOURS WITHF OUT WOOD, ,'j," NEW YORK, July 5.—The attempt of Dr. H. S. Tanner to abstain from food for forty days, is attracting so much attention that the New York Neurological Soiciety have arranged to have Dr. Tanner and his watchers watched, henceforth, by a corps of regular physicians, who will so divide their time that he shall be under their watchfulness every moment till the end of his experiment. When he came to New York he sought to have the test conducted by. physicians ot the regular school, but they refused to have any thing to do with it. He then placed himself in care of the electro physicians, who have been his watchers. Thay are men whose record of the test thus far there seems to be no inclination to question, Some of the members of the Meteorological Society, Ex-Surgeon-General Hammond among them, still refuse to have anything to ao with the experiment but Dr. Hammond is reported as saying that he does not doubt Dr. Tanner's honesty of purpose. Others of the Society arranged for the corps of twelve physicians to watch the fasting man henceforth. Among the electic physicians who watched him are Drs. R. A. Gunn and David Work, men whose integrity it not questioned. There seems to be no disposition to question the honesty of the test thus far. Dr. Tanner said that he would be glad to have the Neurological Society corps watch him.

Mortality Llfita.
