Can't help you with that, but I do have this:
Valley Spirit: July 6, 1859 (Franklin County, PA)
The Fourth
--The Eighty-Third Anniversary of our National Independence passed off, in this place, very quietly, and without any demonstration of a general character.
The Sunday Schools, with the exception of the Lutheran and Presbyterian, had their usual pic-nics, and the small fry their accustomed amount of jolification.
The German Reformed School celebrated in Lehmans Woods and under the excellent arrangement of their Committee, of which Mr. Mathew Gillan was chairman, every thing was done up in admirable style. The Declaration of Independence was read by Wm. Heyser Esq., and eloquent and patriotic addresses delivered by Chas. G. Fisher, Geo. Stenger and Rev. Bauseman. At this celebration all passed off very pleasantly and the children seemed to enjoy themselves in a happy and delightful manner.
The Methodist School held their jolification in Shetters Woods, where they passed the day in pleasant and agreeable festivity. This celebration was largely attended by the children of other schools and by our citizens old and young generally. The Declaration was read in a very happy manner by Clay McCauley, and Hon. Wilson Reilly, I. H. McCauley and W. S. Everett Esqrs. made respectively, very able and appropriate addresses, which were well received and added much to the pleasures of the occasion.
Our Band spent the day, by invitation, at Caledonia Springs, and had a gay old time of it all round.
Our fine military company were out in full feather and done up some excellent firing. We never saw them look, march, or drill, better.
In the evening we had Fire works and a Balloon ascension in the Diamond.
We believe the day passed off to the satisfaction of all concerned and without an accident or unpleasant occurrence to mar it's enjoyment.
I'm sure what you're looking for is out there somewhere, although many a Southern newspaper was probably disrupted by the war or its aftermath.
