 At half past 10 o'clock, a procession ~ y the Marshals of the Day at the Temperance HOuse, and marched under escort of the Artillery company (Lieut. Mays commanding to the Congregational Church, which was we'll filled above and below. Here Hermon Baldwin Esq, President of the Coun- ty Temperance Society, presided, and the exercises were all exceedingly interesting. After singing by the Choir, and an eloquent and fervent prayer by Rev. D. L. Parmelee of South Farms, the Declara- tion of Independence was read by Francis Bacon, Esq and short, patriotic and appropriate addresses made by John Catlin Esq of Northfeld, Rev.D L. Ogden of Whiteboro, N. Y., Rev. MT. Richardson of Terryvlle, Rev. D. L. Marks of Goshen, and Rev. J. L. Dickinson of North6eld. The music from the Choir, under the direction of MT. Hull, was peculiarly appropriate and admirably perform ed Indeed all the exercises were such as to meet the applause of the large and intelligent audience. Among the pieces sung were an Ode and Hymn written for the occasion by Mir. H. Ward. The benediction having been pronounced by Rev. MT. Dixon of this village, the procession was again formed, and proceeded to the Temperance House, I where full justice was done to Dinner, we'll got up by Messrs Lockwood & Woodruff.

 The last guns were fired at half past four, and an hour before sundown village was as quiet as on ordinary days. All classes of the community ap. peared well satisfied with the performances, and il there was not as much noise as when King Alco- hol assists in the celebrations there at least as much joy and more patriotism.
