The people began to assemble about 9 o'clock. At »:3C the Dundee Cornet Band arrived and marched down Main Street, delighting the people with their choice music. The next on the programme was the procession of Horribles, numbering about 5") characters, which were pronounced by com petent judges to be the best in get up they had ever witnessed. We always supposed until now that the Devil beat everything, bnt it waa proven that his Satanic Majesty was no where besido a Mooly Calt and a Bag Baby At I0:3S the'procession started from in front of the school bouse, led by the Band. Next ^came the cat drawn by four gray horses, whieh contained 39 ybung ladies to represent the States and the Goddess of Liberty, which was driven by Uncle Sam In uniform. They were all appropriately attired, aSm young lady carrying a Japanese parasol. We must admit it was the best representation of the states we ever witnessed. Next|came Presi­ dent of the Day, W. A. Nason, Orator and Chaplin, in carriage, followed by the Proces­ sion, which was fullv one mile long. Arriving at tbe grove, where a fine stand had been erected, the following programme was carried out: Music by the Band. Prayer by the Chaplin, A. H. Dodd. Song, Bed, White and Blue, by the Choi*. Rffcdlng of the Declaration of lade|MBde n ce Miss Mary Adamek Music by the Band. . ^ . OrslioB by 1J. B SherWtMi ' Song, America, by Company. - Benediction by .Chaplin. Then all made a break for thelr lunch bas­ kets, where it is supposed ample justice was done. After dinner came the games which were well contested, each victorious contest­ ant receiving his reward in hard cash to the satisfaction of ail present, ltlhen being 4 o'clock the people began to disperse to pre- pare for the evening's amusements. A plat, form had been erected in H. B. Hubbard's field, in the river flat, for the accommodation ef the committee on flreworkst At 7:30 the crowd began to assemble again, and at 8:30 began ths display of fireworks which was pronounced by those present as being the finest ever witnessed In this section. It was, estimated that there were over3>KK> people here during the day. and |we should judge there was nearly as nany In the evening. We would make a few comments. The era. tion by D B. Sherwood, was well received. It woald be commonplace to say It was good Also the Dundee Cornet Band gave us some very fine music during the day and evening. They well earned their honors. Great credit is also due the committees as a whole, for the able manner in which they carried the thing through. There being over 3000 people pres ent, from al; parts of the country, still there was not the least disturbance If there were any t^ft had too much beer they kept it to themselves. Taken all in all the celebration ot July 4th, 1886, Algonquin can well be pooud It was a credit to the town. And furthermore we must not forget that it re quired means to accomplish theabove results. All our leading citizens, with very few ex. ceptions, encouraged the affair with liberal subscriptions and sympathy, The Dance Platform was tastily attired In a new awning and lit up with Chinese Lanters, 5S numbers befiig sold, enough to make a nice little party and all went merry as t marriage l>el' until daylight reminded them that the 4ih was over, and soon the sound of revelry was hush­ ed aud peace reigned onre more.

DEAR PLAINDEALBB:--Having un­ dergone and suffered much from dust and heat, and my time being devoted to greeting old time friends by "scores and by dozens" 1 have allowed my thoughts of old McHenry to fall Into that state where President Cleveland consigned tbe civil service. Tbe ooot wave lias reached ns and the tempera* ture is endurable, but the dusty roads are a terror to eyes aod dress. My time at Alfred University was very ag eeably spent with many old time fellow students who In days of yore were lellow recipients of favors and honors conferred by our Almamater and who like myself have not been for* gotten in the distribution of honorary degrees at this her semi-centennial commencement. May an old looldent was made to pass before my view as a panorama and I am glad to have been present and once more as in other days contributed my mite to the entertain­ ment. " I am. now enjoying the hospi­ tality of Dr. Dolson whose wife is my sister and like her husband a prac­ titioner in the healing art in this beautiful town of Bath, nestling among •the hills of Old Steuben where is loca. ted the New York State Soldiers and Sailo rs Home of which institution Dr. Dolson is surgeon. I with my two nieces Misses Carrie and Mary Falkner formerly of Woodstock, accompanied tlife Dr. on his this morning's visit and titer his duties as surgeon were dis­ charged we were courteously shown by him through the wards, cellars klfhen, dining room, baking room, wash room, drying room, bath room. etc.. all of which we found in perfeet order and the Inmates have reason to congratu­ late themselves that the great state of New York has not forgotten their pa triotic services in her time of sorest need and is now able and willing to furnish a home of comfort to ail with­ in her borders who are in need aod once did wear the blue, Tbe Home Is located a mile, more or less above the town on the Conhocton river. Tbe grounds are beautified by lawns, vege­ table and flower gardens, sbady groves, fountains and boulevards, which, with beautiful substantial buildings,present an attractive view, and Inviting scenes iunilfchlng abundant thought fool to the reflective mind. By oourtesy of Hon. Reuben Roby, Secretary of the Hieuben Agricultural Society, I was shown over the Fair Grounds of the society. The trark Is one half mlfe and with .ts judges stand, amphitheatre ajid home stretch Is situated *o nearly like our own that either might be said to have heen patterned from the other Tti» office building consists of Presl* dent's, Secretary s and Treasurer's office, all so c nveniently arranged as to arou*e a hope that . some time In the near future we might be as well supplied. . The halls are made mor* extensive than ours and the stalls as well. One attractive feature was the commodious log cabin built by a fund r ilsed by selling rights to have the name of t h>> contributor pi teed upon the inner wall, The' arrange uients of tbe building were much af er the style ol our fathers cablo In the olden time, a door at either side, bung on woolen hinges, wlih wooden latch and "the latch string always on the tmUside."" The tire place without, jams supplied with wood, trammel and hooks and a place lu the chimney to place a«ay the pipe when not in use. On tbe outside is the well, curb-sweep, and "tbe Old Oak»n Bucket that hung iu the well.*' This building is used tor a resort for old people and storage for relics, such as spiuning wheels, an tique desks, swords, pistols, valises, old hull ploughs with wooden mould boards, &c., Ae. I spent tbe 4tb (3d) at Woodhull, In south part of Steuben County, and lis* tened to an instructive, able and pleas* ing address by the Hon. E. O, Baker, of Corulug, who Is spoken of as a rls ing star in the political horizon. And while his sddress was entirely non partisan, such speech Is certainly war rantable. To-morrow, with a party of friends, I hope to embark on the Steamer Holmes on Lake Keuka, to visit friends at Wayne. This beautiful Lake Ilea among the 7lne-clad hills of Ibe Steu­ ben county wine oeliars. The time is short before our Old Settlers' Re-Union and our Fair, and I hope the "boomc ang" will call forth an enthusiasm that will push on to "fortune" those Institutions we so much love. I have not finished my circuit, but expect to greet mjf^many western friends In time to make up in part for my vacation. It has been very dry and hot here. Crops are thirsting for rain and except winter grain gener. ally light. Far seen -ry I enjoy the hills, but for farming the prairies suit me better. A. W. S. E. M.
