Long before Old Sol had arisen from his virtuous couch, as ft were, our somnoien population was recalled from happy dreamsby a cacophany that have awakened the seven sleepers, produced by the discharge of crackers, torpedoes and fire arms and by deafen ing shouts, showing that 1 Young America had already commenced air ing his patriotism. All day long this euphonious combination orsounqs con tinued with greater or less violence, being increased as the day dawhed by the roll of the drum the, shriek of the ftfft and the notes of the horn. The day fyas variously put i In by our citl- sens, many of them participating in the celebration at home, some repair ing to the country to participate in basket picnics and others, particularly the young going on croquet and fishing excursions, while a few of the soter-minded remained ac home, read the Declaration in their, closets and kept a sharp look-out for dres The celebration i at hoks, under ihe auspices of the Turner, Mechanics' Aid and other societies, was a very creditable affair.

According to a previously published programme, the procession organized, in the morning at the Court House'; Square, in three divisions, each headed by a band and in charge of a Marshal, and, under command of Chief Marshal Beach and with the Independent Brass Band In advance, marched to the ground. Six societies were represented the two Turnverein. the Mechanics' Aid, the two Catholic Aid and the Maennercholr making the longest procession on foot that ever filed through our streets; With: flags flapping in the breeze and banners furnished one of the most interesting and imposing sights of the kind ever witnessed in our city On reaching the grounds the beautiful grove on Mr. Gould's tract hear Fletcher's the procession disbanded and indulged, in an hours rest, when tbe exercises Of the day were inaugu rated, i Meantime the crowd had been greatly augmented by numerous arri vaia in carriage and on foot. The Dec laratipu of Independence was first read by PhiU'ltyan after which John Pal lagher, of Davenport, was introduced and delivered an eloquent and stirrfng oration.

He followed by Messrs Van Burnett, Block and Tappe in short and appropriate addresses. Tne speaking was interspersed with music, one feature of which was the rendering of Red, White and Blue by Ueorge uonnor. Kxcept two or three disgraceful exhibitions of ruffian- ism by a class of roughs whom it seems impossible to suppress on such occa sions, the whole affair passed off cred ilably and to the satisfaction of all concerned. -i 1, In tbe evening the whole, city seemed to turn out pater famalias with their spouses and responsibilities, lovers and sweethearts, and batchelors and maids to see! what, was to be seen. Second street was a blaze of excitement.

The sidewalks were thronged with people and the streets with carriages jfire crackers, and torpedoes snapped and cracked louder than ever: Roman can dies and sky rockets illuminated the ky, -while Chinese lanterns pendan here and there added to the brilliancy of the Bcene. i I 'AT NICHOL3. Large numbers of our citizens took SdvauUge of the reduced fares on tbe Muscatine Western road to visit Nich pis and participate in the celebration as well as to gratify their curiesity by a ride oyer the new road. Both the morning and afternoon trains, each of which consisted of a coach, caboose and several box cars furnished with seals, swarmed with passengers. The celebration was attended by an im merise concourse of people from all directions.
