The centennial antiiverversary of our nation’s birth should not surely be eelebrated. by ceremonies tending to detraet from, rather than add to the importance of the ocreasion, Our neighbors of Grass Valley are preparing to-commemorate the day we love in a manter befitting asall. I would suggest therefore,that on so important an occasion other*considerations: beneath patriotism and one and all'unite with the. people of-Grass Valley in a celebration which shall do credit to ourselves and-the oeeasion, It is in the natural order of things that narrowminded men in each of our towns should feel’nrore or less rivalry to-. ward their-neighbors; and I submit that the coming Fourth:is a fit oecasion for generous, noble-minded cit. izens, bothshere and-in Grasse Valley; ‘to fraternize, and by showing themselves superior to all petty strife amd’ jealousy, set an example worthy, of imitation, and at the same time give vent to the noblest impulses of our nature, _ Our gallant firemen will, I om sure, bd invited to participate withtheir brethren at Grass Valley on that occasion, and should we all unite in making a success of the effort of our neighbors, good will result therefrom.

Among other amusements a prize will be given tothe person who catches a greased hog. There will probably be great competition for that hog’s greased ‘tail, as many of the-citizens of that place are daily practicing in catching hogs by the tail without their being greased, Blaine’s Chances, The New York Heralds. Washington special says Blaine’sfriendsare confident that he will be nominated at the Cincinnati Convention. No other candidate has been so thoroughly investigated, and théy claim that there is no more reason why charges should be brought against him than any, of the. others. The same authority says there is an understanding belatter’s strength shall go-to the former in case he is compelled to abandon the field. himself, Government Finances, The receipts of the Government for the fiseal year ending with June are thus estimated: Brom customs, $146,027,536; internal nevenue, $116, . 048,507; miscellaneous, $23,108,534.
