About halt" past'10 ""o'clock the prooeision commenced- fornung tinder the superintendence of the Grand Marshal, Charles W. Kendall. Esq., in the following order: 1st The Jtlontict'io Brass Dand, ft The President and Vice Presidents, 3d Orators, Header. c Chaplain for the day, 4ih First JJonticello Sabtoth-sthco!, 5 ih Presbyterian Sabbath-school, 6th.

Each Sabbath-school was headed by a banner appropriately inscribed. The 2d Presbyterian school had inscribed on its banner, "First S. S. of Moniicello. 7ntue is the safeguard o Liberty." ' The Isi Presbyterian, oi oru side had "First Presbyterian S. S. 01 of Moniicello. Train up a child in the way he should go." On the other side. -Robert Ilaikes. If the Son shall make yeu free, ye shall be free indeed." Tiu M. E. School, " V.onticello . School of tha M. E. Church. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." And the Norway and Tippecanoe Schools, after the names, had inscribed on their banner, 'Tis Education forms the common mind ; Jtisl as the : wi J - tic it ibe tree 's inciin The other Schoo'a had flagai instend of banners. As the procession marched to the grove it presented a grand end imposing appearance, arid but . few would have thou -ht there could have been so many children collected together in this county. . ; Upon reaching the grove there . was. found, to be a great insufficiency of seats, not more than half of them being able to get comfortably se&td. After disposing of what seats there were, order waa: restored, and an appropriate prayer was ouerea up to Airmgnty urpa oy uev. Joseph Thompson, Chaplain. Tiie f.,, lowing Ode was then sung by the Schools and others: ISDErETOESCE BAY. Wira joy we meet Wiln diuiUa we greet Our school-mate bright and gay, Be dry each tear ' - .

I lite we sir f our hind doai'a ho' s by ihy n t God our ) lace, :, brigbi light; una I Next came an Address to the Sabbathschools, by -..lle.- Mr.- Duulap.of Delphi; which was very appropriate and , calculated to'do'mach'good, 'not "only to the Sabtath-school scholars, but to the Supertiilendants and Teachers ,to whom a great portion of it wps ad.dressed; and i no doubt those who heard it thought itj not "pearls'Cdsl before swine," but "sed I sown in good ground.' After the address was concluded the following Ode was : FOURTH O F ' JULY. To thee the little children's friend, Their hymn to-day shall rise; O from the heavenly Courts descend, And bless the' sacrifice ! - : . VhU through our land fair freed arn's sonuf , Our fathers raise to thee; , . Our accents sliall the notes prolong; ' We children, too, are free! The past with blessings frorn thy hand. -Was richly scattered o'er; Am numerous t8 the countless eand That spreads the ocean shore. O may the future be as bright, Nor be. thy favors less Resplendent with the glorious light ' Of peace and happiness. On earth prepare us far the skits; And when our Hie is O'er, Let us to purer mansions rise, And praise thee evermore. The exercises were interspersed by music from the the Monticello Band, which, considering the lime they had to prepare for trie occasion, the absence of a portion' of the old members, together wiih the recent severe illness of the leader. Dr. It. A. Spencer, was performed in a manner very creditable .to themselves. The cloth was then removed and a nicely - furnished table- was "presented and the contents dist ibuied ; when, we are sorry to say, the only th i ii g occurred to mar the perfect httrmcny and good feeling which had hitherto prevailetl throughout the whota exercises, which was the disgraceful actions of a few persons in crowding up to .the table ami Hilling, not only their stomachs, but.thei; pockets, handkerchiefs, and shirt bosoms tnereby robbing a few of even a morsal. Such men would move in their proper spherp by mixing with swine their legitimante neighbors. Such persons wil, be found in almost . every community and a guard should have been placed over the table before the distribution commenced. The procession was re-formed-and returned to town and dismissed. It has been supposed that there were from fifteen hundred to two thousand people in altTiddnce rl t!,3 celebration.
