o JAMES B. FERGUSOnT Editor Bi’idsclon. October 30, 1871. chicagoT We have now information sufficiently full in regard to the Chicago calamity, to give an authentic and connected account of its origin and progress. To understand it clearly, it is necessary to have an idea of the PLAN OF THR CITT. Lying upon tho western shore of the lake it is divided into three parts by the Chicago river and its branches. The channel of the river about a mile, runs east and west at right angles with the lake shore. It then separates into two branches that come re spectively from the north and south, togeth er forming a channel parallel with the course of tho lake. The city is thus divid ed into the North fide, South Side and West Side, as popularly designated. The river is crossed at most of fhe streets by re volving bridges, though recently tho plan of tunneling under the river has been adopted with success. The principal busi ness part of the city lies just south of the river, aird between the lake and tho South Branch. In some parts of the city, buildings, side walks and all had been raised up from the low muddy level of the original site. But in many parts, the houses were raised up, the curbs built up six or eight feet of solid stone wall, and the space between filled in for a carriage way, while the sidewalk con sisted of miles of plank laid from the line of the bouses to the curbstone. The street now shows nothing but ruins along an ele vated embankment as though an army bad been fortifying itself against attack. ORIGIN OF THE FIRE. Late on Sunday evening a boy went into a stable on Dekoveu street, near the river, on the West Side, to milk a cow, carrying with him a kerosene lamp. This was kicked over by the cow, and the burning fluid scattered among the straw. This was the beginning of the great fire. A single fire extinguisher on the ground, or active work by tlse police in tearing down one or two shanties, would have prevented the spreading of the flames; but the engines were waited for, and when they arrived, the firemen, stupefied by their exertions at the fire on Saturday night, worked slowly and clumsily. Their efforts were unavail ing, however, as the wind blew a gale from tlie south-west. The flames spread rapid ly from house to house and from yard to yard, until the district burned the night be fore was reached. Meanwhile the flames had crossed the river north of Twelfth St., to the South Side, and were soon RAGING BEYOND CONTROL. Tlie Board of Trade, Court-House, Western Union Telegraph, and Associated Press office, and hundreds of other build ings were all in flames. The air was filled with live coals, which were hurled to the north and east, carrying destruction every where. The fire engines were powerless for saving. All that men could do was to blow up buildings, but thi» availed little.— The Time.*, Pott, Republican, Journal, and other newspaper offices, the Western News Company block. Field Leiter’s establish ment. the Diake Block (recently built), Far well Co’s, all were soon in ashes. It seemed that no sooner had the flames struck a wall than it went directly through, and a very few minutes sufficed to destroy the most elaborately built structure. Tbe walls ’"iViimel? 'iVWri'ftfl’ VAe W tfWUrt moment for the fire to enter the south ends of buildings, fronting on Randolph, Lake, and Water streets, aud reappear at the north doors and windows, belching forth in fieice flames which often reached the opposite buildings, and then the flames issued forth from the buildings on both sides of the street, would unite, and present a solid mass of fire, completely filling the street from side to side, and shooting upward a hun dred feet into the air. Thus was street af ter street filled with flame. Huge walls would topple and fall into the sea of fire, without apparently giving a found, as the roar of the fierce element was so great that all minor sounds were swallowed up, and the fall of walls was only perceptible to the eyes. Many of the buildings situated along South Water street, buried their red-hot rear walls in the water of the river, into which they plunged with a hiss. After destroying the best part of the city on the South Side, the flames leaped the river, and literally swept the North Hde. from the North Branch to the lake, and from the river to Lincoln Park. Of course such a calamity involves great Now was to be seen tbe most remarkable sight ever beheld in this or any country.— There were from 50,000 to 75,000 men, wo men and children fleeing by every available street and alley to the Southward and West ward, attempting to save their clothing and their lives. Many were trampled under foot. Men and women were loaded with bundles, to whose skirts children were clinging, half dressed, and barefooted, all seeking a place of safety. Hours afterward, these people might have been seen in vacant lots, or on tbe streets far out in the suberbs, stretched in the dust. These are the homeless and destitute, wlio now call on tbe rich world for food and clothing. The suffering on the North Side was heart-rending to witness. Fifty thousand men, women, and children, Huddled togeth er like so many wild animals, and in other places 17,000 Hermans and Irish, praying for relief, helpless children asking for bread, heart-broken parents who knew not which way to turn or what to say, and nothing to do but to await the distribution of supplies, which, at best, must be a slow proceeding, present indeed a lian-owing scene. It is reported that 500 lives were lost, though no accurate estimate can at present be given. MEASURES FOR RELIEF. With a promptness and liberality that does honor to human nature, people were everywhere aroused to prepare and semi re lief. Cooked provisions were poured into the city in a few hours, and Gen. Sheridan bad army tents procured so that, food and shelter were soon temporarily provided.— Then began the noble work of collecting means of relief, to meet the case of the des- titute, until they were able to help them selves. New York contributed over a mil lion, and other cities accordingly. From Trenton $20,000 were sent. The railroad lines were placed at the disposal of all who had anything to send. The Erie belief Train went through from New York in about the shortest time on record—every express train being obliged to stand aside for it. And this movement extends across the ocean. In London $85,000 were sub scribed in. two days. The sum of $40,000 was sent from Paris. Salt Lake City gave $25,000. The Chinese ini.. San Francisoo gave $1,300 unsolicited. From every town and village a spontaneous offering is being made. There is now plenty for all, and the Im mediate pressure of want U over. Tb# i-j. -wew.», 'ga^ Winter is coming on, however, and some trustworthy system of organisation ehonld immediately be put into operation for af fording a reasonable degree of relief to the deserving and industrious poor- The sug gestion is mado by the Mayor, in a procla mation announcing that after consultation with Gen. Sheridan, he hu placed the whole matter of distribution of suocor of all kinds iu the hands of the Chicago Relief and Aid Society, an old and firmly estab lished organization composed of men of known capacity and benevolence. INSURANCE OK LOSSES. Estimates of the amount of loss, and of available insurance are as yet very unrelia ble. Tho general opinion is that $2"0,r00, 000 worth of property was destroyed, and that tho loss of business, &c., will amount to $100,000,000 more. Many insurauoc companies are paying up promptly, while others have suspended, and will only be able to pay a per centage of the policies. It is feared that the necessity of realizing on stocks held as sesurity, may seriously un settle values, and precipitate a financial crisis. Last week was a time of wild pan ic on the Stock Exchange at New York, but the worst appears now to be over. The city will no doubt bo SPEEDILY REBUILT. Everywhere the signs of enterprise and reviving courage arc manifest. Tho remain ing buildings on the south and West Side, are taken for temporary offices for Mcrcan t la Houses, Banks, Ac-, and arrangements for building are already on foot. There is no lack of energy and pluck among the merchants and capitalists of Chicago. As an instance of this, John B. Drake, whose losses are enough to appall an ordinary man, has already contracted for the rebuilding of his magnificent block for tho third time, and all along the burn ed district whero the rain has sufficiently cooled the ruins, the clearing away of wrecks has begun. The country will best assist Chicago in standing by her in her ef fort to restore her crippled commerce and industries. The city is quiet and orderly, thanks partly to the good will of tho citi zens and partly to tho coolness and energy of Gen. Sheridan. The panic of disaster should already be over, and the long, steady pull of stubborn determination to retrieve past losses is now to begin. aUUlDi.fi I Ifl tudanoc I 8UAUUD. The teachers and pupils in the Cohansey Public School of West Bridgeton, were startled on Tuesday morning last by the falling of a large portion of the plastering over the primary department. Several of the children wero injured, and two of them quite seriously, being cut on the head by the hard mortar which fell from a height of perhaps ten feet. The class room above was occupied at the time, but no unneces sary jarring took place at the time of the accident. The children in some of the de partments rushed for their teacher and were speedily outside of the room. The building was erected over twenty years since, and is in pretty good repair. The other ceilings should at once be carefully examined, and no more lives endangered. While our public schools in this city for many years past have been far ahead of most others in the State in many respects, 'he rapid advance in educational matters in ■tlier towns and cities lias left Bridgeton in the background, so far at least as school buildings are concerned. Ten or fifteen years ago the present buildings were considered up to the times and all that were required, but with such a rapid advance of population as there has been here since that time, our school houses toWilsw;ina$iWaiftW> We need more room, and a school house erected in the 2nd ward would be filled in a short time, and those in the other wards somewhat relieved from the excessive num bers. It is impossible for any teacher te do justice to so many scholars as most of them have in our public schools. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Another of those sad and too frequent accidents which occur from the use of kci osene, took place on Tuesday evening last on the old Burlington road west of Commerce street. A girl about 11 years of age, daughter of Charles Llyod, while reaching a lamp from the mantle-piece caught her foot in a chair and fell upon the floor break ing the lamp and igniting her clothing. She rushed out of the door after her mother, and when the met her the flames were circ ling above her head. The fire was extin guished as soon as possible, but her body and arms were so badly burned that recovery is very doubtful. Dr. Robert Elmer was sent for, and all done for the little sufferer that the skill of a physician could accom plish. Seriously injured like the little girl who lately died in Millville from the effects of burns from a kerosene lamp, she, like her, expressed a desire to leave for the bet ter land where she hoped to find rest, and ease from pain. ■°ince the above was written we learn that she suffered until about half-paat one o'clock on Wednesday last, and departed peacefully. At the time of the accident she was looking for her Sunday School book. While the Chicago sufferers are receiving the attention which they should from our citizens, let not those who are in our midst go without attention. A mother and seven children remain to mourn the loss of sister and daughter. Significant !—A few days since a young Democrat, bearing the cognomen of Jim,” came reeling down Vine Street, West Bridgeton. It was a fine sunny afternoon, about 3 o’clock, aud “Jim” considering the strength of the sun, was leisurely and steadily making his way along the side walk. After crossing and re-crossing the street several times, and displaying the usual ludicrous antics of a drunken man, he came abruptly to the edge of a high curb-stone, overlooking a deepgutter. Here he hesitated, endeavoring in vain to balance himself. All futile, however, for his eyes were dim, and his feet slippery He tot tered—he fell 1 As he grappled with an imaginary gate-post, in vain struggles to save himself; and ere his mouth had been stopped with mother earth, he howled out the piteous appeal:— Parker Where's Parker Is this, we venture to inquire, significant of the cry which shall go up from Joel and his disconsolate friends, when on the morn ing of the 8th of November the telegraph wires announce the fact that New Jersey is safe for Grant in 1873, and that Walsh is Governor elect by 5,000 majority. Save the Ep.eing !—Too little attention is paid to the reformation of law-breakers and criminals. With the iron hand of law should go the pleadings of the Gospel. On the 8th inst., Rev. W. W. Moffett held re ligious service with the prisoners in jail in this city. On the 15th iust., Rev. G. W. Eudcrs conducted divine service in the jail.. The proper authorities ought to make pro vision for regular religious service; so that ovary prisoner might be able to ssy, I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” A sight worth seeing— Wsnjunsler Rrown’s Oak Sail. ia~i a ^-.7 *i •r!nf GREAT FIRES IN THE WOODS. But for tho overwhelming calamity that has reduced Chicago to a pile of ruins pub lic attention would have been greatly ex cited by the destruction of life and property among the prairiee and forests of the west. Fires have been raging in twe different sec tions several hundred miles apart. One in the eastern part of Michigan along the shore of Lake Huron, south of Saginaw Bay, of which the Detroit Foet gives the following account:— The counties of Huron and Sanilac, which constitute the principal seene of the fire, contain about 94,000 inhabitants. Of these it is belioved that 10,000 are already rendered homeless. They have loet their houses, their bams, their stock, their mills, even their clothing. 8ome of them almost literally have to commence the world over again, being nearly as naked as when they wore bom. Tho people of Fort Huron are in constant receipt of messages asking for provisions and clothing, and the victims of the fire are still flocking in from the interior to tho towns on the shore. Already tho towns of Verona, Now-River, Sand Beach, Huron City, a portion of Port Hope, Cres cent, Center Harbor, Elm Creek, White Rock, Paris, Cracow, Minden. Foj restville, and the Polish settlements near Forrest ville, have been destroyed those on the lake to the very water’s odge, as the docks in many instances have been swept away. These towns represent a population of at least 6,000 people. Tho loss of property in these towns amounts directly, without a doubt, from $1,500,000 to $2,000,000, at a very low calculation, and not including lumber and timber destroyed. The vagueRt guess-work only could estimate the lose of property in the interior. Some of the peo ple, burned out of house and home, were substantial farmers, showing that the fire has swopt over the cleared and cultivated districts, as well as through the woods. Port Huron is already a hospital for the maimed and an asylum for the destitute. Thompson's Hall, a long, low attic, in a wooden building on Sixth street, is the ren dezvous of tho poor wretches brought in here from the north in tugs, steamboats, and scows. Thence, after their primary ne cessities are attendod to they are distributed to the care of private families. The num ber is destined to be larger, and the hospi tality of the people of Port Huron is likely to be stretched to the utmost. Last night wo visited this hall. Three or four bed steads had been put up, and half a dozen or more straw beds were laid on the floor. On these were stretched, in rows, thirty or forty people, being the last cargo of wretched ness brought into the town. Men, women, and children, the latter ranging from a dozen years of age to the sucking babe, were lying in rows. They wore nearly all in sound sleep wearied out in their prolonged exertions In fighting the fire, in fleeing from it, in standing in the cold water of the lake up to their necks hour after hour. Feveral of them apparently were kept awake by their pain their hands or fingers, or eyes or ears were bandaged, the fire having often blistered them, and in some cases burned their feet to a crisp.” Anotlior fire equally disastrous to prop erty, and still more frightful in its destiuc tion of human life, has been raging in Eastern Wisconsin along Lake Michigan, and on the peninsula between Green Bay and the lake about twoliundred miles above Chicago. We givo the following telegraph reports Pishtego dates to the 12th, record the utter destruction of the town. Four hun dred dead bodies have been recovered, and it is thought that three hundred more are in the river, where the intense heat caused «^?,Oer“','’,fhe velocity off tfe? fire was so great that all escape was impos sible. The loss of life will reach twelve hundred. A member of the Relief Committee sent from New York with supplies, says the only survivors were those who were fortu nate enough to reach the water, many throwing themselves inte mill-ponds and clinging to floating logs a number of these were drowued by being thrown from their logs by maddened horses and cattle that rushed into the water. The fire swept over a tract of country eight or ten miles wide. Every building and fence, and all the timber has been completely destroyed. The population of Pishtego numbered two thousand people, one-third of whom per ished that fearful night. Reports from the east shore of Green Bay place the loss of life fully as high as at Pishtego. The same account states that the immediate wants of the people are sup plied, but largo amounts of provisions and clothing will bo required for the coming Winter. The Mayor of Milwaukee has is sued an appeal to the people of the eountry for aid. The loss of life on the east shore in Dover and Kewanee counties are appalling. All communication is severed, and the terriblo news comes slowly. At Pensaukee twenty five dwellings were burned and several lives lost. The destruction of hay, farm-houses, ana lences in the vicinity is complete. In Brussells, Dover oounty, two hundred houses, comprising ths Belgian settlement, were destroyed, and a large number of per sons are missing. The people, in utter des titution, are struck dumb with their losses, and powerless. Houses, barns, farming implements, and cattle all destroyed roads are filled with oarcasses of animals—horses, cattle, and sheep—dying from smoke and heat, while hunger and starvation must be endured by the wretched people. Mere Kaure has been destroyed, and all its in habitants are destitute, houseless and home less. It is reported that the whole country is on fire from Green Bay to Menominee Depere. Wrightown and Fort Howard are threat ened. No rain foil for two months until to-day, when copious showers were hailed with joy. Great numbers of wounded have been brought to Green Bay. The scenes were appalling. Men and women were partially roasted alive, their eyes burned out and their ears burned off. Advices from Fon du Lac say that reports from the northern districts grow hourly worse. The accounts of suffering are unparalleled. Clothes, food, and money are greatly needed. Great fires are also reported in Calumet oounty. Dwellings, barns, hay, grain, and stock have been destroyed. All crops have been destroyed. Late advices say that the towns of Ma rietta and Marnetti were partially saved. The heavy rain which is falling has nearly extinguished the fires in Calumet and Shee boygan counties. Accident on the Vineland Railhoad. —On Tuesday last as the 11 A. M. train was coming through Vineland it ran into a horse and wagon, killing the horse and de molishing the wagon. The gentleman and lady in at the time, riding out for their health, came near being killed, but fortu nately escaped without serious injury. The horse, on the approach of the locomotive stopped on the -track, and before those in the wagop could escape they were thrown to the ground* somewhat braised and greatly alarmed.

The golden weddings so sel dom take plaee iu this locality that tbsy are not often referred to. Twenty-five years is a long time in which to look forward, but wheu the memory runs over the past, it seems but yesterday to many who have lived together happily for that length of time. Thia was the caae with Mr. and Mr*. Franklin Dare of this city, on Monday evening last while greeting at least one hundred and forty of their friends at their commodious residonoe on Commerce street. Notwithstanding they liavo both been ac tively engaged in business pursuits for most of the twenty-live years that have passed away, time has dealt kindly with them in impressing cheerful smiles upon the coun tenance, while so many others have permit ted the cares of life to make their impress by being less cheerful and hopeful in dis position. Despite all this however, the sil very threads begin to mingle with those of darker hue upon their heads, and the sou and daughter-in-law remind them that soon they will be on the doolivity of time’s hill. May their journey down its steep side be as happy and prosperous as the ascent to their present position. The large company after greeting the “happy couple” entered into conversation, and the time passed rapidly until all were ushered into the apartments whore the ta bles groaned beneath the weight of cakes, confectionery, pyramids of cream, fruits, and all the delicacies of the season. If any reserve was displayed previous to that pait of the entertainment it certainly vanished then, as all attempted to cut their way through. The supply was too great for the demand, and after a long seige the army j gave way for a host of younger reserved troops who wore also vanquished after a hard fought battle. At a late hour the “old folks” retreated for their respective homes, and we understand since, that after an hour or two longer enjoyed by the younger portion of the company they too bid adieu to their friends with pleasant rec ollections of an evening passed in ths most pleasant manner. The “silvery tokens left by ths guests filled two good sized tables and was the handsomest and largest collection tliat we ever beheld on such an occasion.

Not long since a lady residing in one of tile largest frame buildings in the central part of our city upset a kerosene lamp and the flames at once commenced to spread, but owing to great presence of mind, she extin guished it at once by smothering it with carpet which happened to be loose over the floor. From the great fire at Chicago orig inally kindled by the upsetting of a kero sene lamp, down to the most insignificant accident, kerosene has figured extensively in explosions, burning and loss of life. So long as the slightest traco of any explosive substance remains in kerosine oil, it is a dangerous article, and as no one is sure that the oil he buys is deprived of this risk, too great care cannot be exercised in handling it. By reference to advertisement in another column it will be seen that M. Carstens, at the China store in this city, has for sale the genuine Asteral Oil, which is warranted non-explosive, and gives the most brilliant light at a very moderate cost. For economy and safety as a portable light it is unsur passed. From the above it will be seen that there has been great destruction of life and prop erty outside of Chicago, and it would be well for the relief committees to take into consideration the propriety of assisting all to the best of their ability.

J., on Thursday evening, September 21st, 1371. Synod opened with a sermon by Rev. J. W. Lake, of Friesburg. The following were elected officers President, Rev. D. Kline Seoretary, Rev. A. Hiller; Treasurer, Rev. J. W. Lake- There was a full representa tion of clerical and lay delegates Mr. Ja cob Kieozle, of St. John’s Church, Bridge ton, was absent. The usual amount and kind of business was transacted. Wc men tion a few items Rev. Dr. Wedekind, of New York City, forcibly presented the cause of foreign missions, and more partic ularly our missions in India and Africa, of which he gave a very encouraging aocouut. About one thousand souls lu India are awaiting the return of our missionary, Rev. Mr. Unangst, now in this country on ac count of ill health, in order to 1>© baptized and confirmed by Lim in tho Christian faith. Rev. Unangst, said: “Brethren, the more the Church, I mean all evangeli cal denominations, are united at home, the more will God own and bless tlie entire work of the Church in heathen lands.” Here is a strong appeal and argument for Christian unity. Rev. Unangst with seve ral other new missionaries will shortly sail for India. Rev. G. U. Weiner, of Now York, addressed the Synod on “Systematic Beneficence.” Tho Synod unanimously adopted and recommended to tho churches tho General Synod’s system of The Lord’s Treasury.” Two young men are aided by tlie Eduoation Board this year to the amount of two hundred dollars each. A petition from St. John’s Church of Bridge ton for aid was favorably acted upon by the “Home Board of Missions,” and two hun dred dollars were appropriated. Synod ad vised that the relation between Luther Chapel and Friesburg congregations be dis solved, and that Luther Chapel apply to Rev. G. W. Endors, of Bridgeton, for pas toral care. A proposition to unite the Synods of New Jersey and New York into one body was favorably entertained, and a basis of union presented by the committoe, viz Revs. J. R. Sikes, G. IV. Enders, and J. C. Dug, was adopted, and to he presented by oar delegates to the New York Synod. Synod resolved to raise and pay its share of the $100,000, fnud of the Lutheran Board of Publication,” located at No. 42, North 9th Street, Philadelphia.

Pnblio Schools of Cumberland County. The following items in relation to the public schools of Cumberland county, may be of interest to some of your readers:— Whole number of children enrolled in school registers during the year 1854; 1635 are reported as attending no school; 2642 have attended less than four months; 1655 added to 2642 make 4987 children, that have either attended no school or else, havo at tended less than four months, nearly one half of the Children in the county. 1773 have attended more than four, but less than six months; 6070 or nearly two-thirds have attended less than six months. lltm rvo wun ivti biicoo javta, aw .u __ all surprising that wo have so many men who are earnestly advocating compulsory attendance. Some look at the question like this, ‘‘If the State has the right to take my money and open schools, then I in turn de mand that the State shall see to it, that my morey is judioiously expended, or in other words, I demand that the State shall see that my money is not expended in vain.”— A greater interest should be awakened among people. How shall it be doue This indifference on the part of the people, will drive our Legislatures to pass a compulsory act. Why do wo so seriously object to it ‘‘It takes away our liberties,” says one; so says the slave of intoxicating drink, when called upon to sign the pledge. A. J. Mun della, wiitos to Gen. Eaton, as follows: I may state, from long experience, that where the ednoation of children is wholly depen dent on the parents, selfishness or the in difference, or intemperate habits of many will cause a considerable number to he en tirely neglected, or only partially educated and in a country like yours, whore the only guarantee for you*- free institutions, is the intelligent assent and support of the citi zens, the State and the nation have a right to demand that those who share in the gov ernment of the country and enjoy its priv ileges, shall have had the advantage of ed ucation and a virtuous training. In my opinion the successful working of the schools in Boston is mainly attributable to the fact, that large compulsory powers are exercised by the school board of that city. J. Music.—A concert of vocal and instru mental muic will be given at Grossoup's Hall, on next Thursday evening, October 96th, for the benefit of Trinity M. E. Church. The programme has been pre pared with muoh oare, and we believe the lovers of musio may anticipate a treat ou this occasion. The greater number of the pieces will be vocal, which is a pleasant fea ture in such an entertainment. Home, talent alone is engaged in this concert, and judg ing from the past, our oitizens will not fail to encourage them by their presence. Tick ets may be bad at T. F. Jacobs’ store, on Commerce street, or of J. Dilks Son, on Franklin street, and at the door on the eve ning of the concert. Admission thirty-five cents. Doors open at 7. Conceit will com mence at half-past 7 o’clock. Vmklahd asd Jackson.—The attention of farmers and others is oalled to the card of the above named firm which appears in another column. Mr. Jackson is exten sively acquainted in this part of the State, and an energetic and reliable business man. Those having produce to sell would do well to entrust it with him and his partner, who keep the run of the oity markets and are enabled to command the highest price for all produce placed in their hands.

A few years since Bridgeton was considered i an isolated town as the facilities at that time for travel were very meagre. Now it is quite I a Railroad centre. Three trains leave our j city daily on the Vineland road and three ar- j live uaily—two from New York and oue from Philadelphia. On the West .Jersey road we j have threo trains daily to and three from Philadelphia, one of them being a freight j train. The Port Norrs road will soon be eompleted, which wtil add still moro travel to i and from Bridgeton and Philadelphia. What our population need is an eaily and late train on the West Jersey Railroad from B-idgeton, the same as Millville is now fivored with. We j are aware that those most interested in the road think that it will not pay. Perhaps it will not, hut the West Jersey Company can afford to run tho extra train whether it pays or not. The accotnm datinns now by way of the Vineland rnute, with itu- fire the same as by the West Jersey should induce that com pany to put on another train in order to keep 1 up to the times. Narrow Escape of Mb. Valsii.—Mr. Walsh had a narrow escape from severe inju ry last wci k, In Warren county. He had wi lted ti e fair grounds in company with J. G. Shipman, Esq., and Col. Robeson, ol Belvi dere, Controller Runyon and Robert Rusling, Esq. He left the fair grounds about 5 o’clock P. M., to go to Morristown to fultill an en gagement in the evening, driving to Manun ka Chunk to meet tho down train on tile Del aware and Lackawa.ia Railroad. On the way an accident occurred which camo near being serious in its results. There being on ly just time to mako the train, Col. Robeson started with Ids fast team to take Mr. Walsh and his party to the station. When within three hundred yards of tho station and while the Colonel was getting the best time out oi Ills horses, a down train on the Bulvirlere road camo screaming along. Tito spirited team gave one leap and landed the can iage, a hopeless wreck, among the rocks by the roadside. Tho party gathered themselves up and each was a-tonished to find that neither himself nor any one else was hurt, though all were terribly shaken. “A1 s for those who never sing. But die with all their music in them.” The above certainly can not apply to the I largo and appreciative audience, which was gathered in Grosscup’s hall, Wednesday j evening last, to listen to tho harmonious measures of the ‘-Vox Populi Glee Cittb,” ot Philadelphia, the spirit and understanding sang if nut the voice, and surely the sweetly ■lowing symphonies could not but find respon lover of music. Many of the pieces were •‘encored’'among which “Home sweet homo,” with variations, a piano solo, was exquisitely beautiful. “Meynheer Von Dunck” met with tumuliuous applause, and Hie “Cork Leg,” sang by special request was greeted up roarouslv. A piece rendered on the piano with Bute accompaniment, was considered by many the best. Altogether the concert was a grand success, j and reflects great credit on the young, and gifted leader. Wo sincerely hope the Club will favor ns again, and that their visits will not be liko the ange'is, few and far between. The sweet toned piano used on the above occasion, was from the establishment of B. F. i Horner of this city. Steamer City of Bridgeton.—This now and splendid steamer made her trial trip on ihe Delaware, on Wednesday morning last, from Wilmington. She ran from Chester to the Philadelphia Navy Yard in about one hour—a distance of nearly seventeen miles. The machinery w hich is all new, and of the very best quality, worked like a charm and gave great satisfaclion to both contractors and owners. The timber of whicli she is con structed is largely of Lteiawa.u ,,uk» „..k She is braced with iron in the most substan tial manner, and there is no better built boat on the Delaware. Draws light on the water, and is much higher than the original City of Bridgeton. Her appearance is graceful as a swan, and she “rides the water like a thing of life Being re-built under the supervision of Capt. R. T. Bender, the engineer; and Capt. Jas. McIntyre, who will command her; everything is constructed in the most approv ed manmr. C. C. Grosscup, Daniel Williams and others who have had the direction of the work, also deserve much credit from thecom pany for their efficient services rendered.— The boat will be on the line next week. REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. On Friday of next week, Ihe 27th inst,, Hon. Cornelius Walsh, and ether prominent speakers, will address a political meeting in Grosscttp’s Hall, in this city. A general in vitation is given to members of both political parlies. Mr. Walsb lias been speaking neat ly every day for the past two weeks. On Moo. d*r the 23d, ire will address two meetings in Camden county. On Tuesday two in Glou cester county. On Wednesday two in Salem county. On Thursday afternoon he is to speak in Vineland. In the evening in Mill ville, and visit Bridgeton, Friday the 27th, and addrest tire citizens of this place. On the following Faturday he goes to Atlantic county, and is engaged every week-day eve ning until the election. Mr. Walsh makes no prelcntions as a public speaker, yet lie never talks without saying something, and has some thing new to say wherever ho goes. Our cit izens and all who have the pleasure of listen ing to him will doubtless be favorably im pressed with iris nraclicai common sense t.-tllr.

It is usual for reports of growing crops to be bad, and those of gathered harvests to lie good. This year’s returns, as finally j summed up by tho Agricultural Bureau, do j not differ maternally from the customary statements. We had sufficient doleful prophesy, when the crops are yet in their j immaturity, but, after all, the authoritive i announcement from Washington shows that j we have sufficient agricultural basis for the I usual Thanksgiving Proclamation. The RaiLhoad Lease.—Chancel'or Zabriskle j rendered his decision on Wednesday morning last, j stating that the iujunc Ion must be denied, and j that the order restraining the defendants from ex- edition of the lease vacated. The counsel opposed to the lease intend to give notice as soon -.s the i reading of decisions in other cases is concluded of l an appeal taking the case from the ourt in han cery to the Court of Appeals, the State court of last resort.

Good as a feast—a glance at Wanamaker Brown’s Fall Stock. $2,000,000—worth of Clothing sold annu ally by Wanamaker, RocKniLL Wilpon—Our readers desir ing new, fashionable, and elegant clothing for fall and winter, will find if to their advantage to call before purchasing elsewhere, at the magnificent establishment of RockhiH Wil son, G0*3 and 60o Chestnut St Philadelphia, and they will not be likely to leave witbouf wisely investing in a new suit, as [the stock is immense, and of such a quality as to please the most fastidious. The economical will not fail to approve of the prices, as the supply of goods being al most unlimited, the firm i* enabled to sell at the very lowest market rater. For years this firm has b©en well known in business communities, and deservedly enjoys the enviable reputation of strict, business In tegrity, and reave and cordial demeanor to ward customers. Being one of the most extensive establish ments in the'country, and purchasing largely for ca#b, the above named firm is prepared to compete in quality and price with the most desirable. It is an erroneous impression that because some goods command higher prices on Chestnut street than elsewhere, that cloth ing is consequently not so cheap there. Those who desire garments of the very best quality, made in superior style, at moderate prices, cannot do better than call at the extensive establishment of Rockhill £l Wilson.

The maxim that the voice of the people is the voice of the diviuity, may iu some cases, be open to doubt, but the testimony of honest pni enlightened witnesses extending through a seiies of years, and all to the same purport, is worthy of credence ad* mi s no question. Upon such testimony the rep utation of Hostetter’s 8tomaoh Bitters as an anti dote and cure for many ailments is based. During the iweoty years that it has been before the world innumerable preparations intended to compete with it, have gone up like rockets, and comedown the extinguished sticks. Meanwhile the progress of that iueomparable tonic has been swift and steady— always upward and onward like the eaglets flight Its introduction produced to be one of those saluta ry revolutions that fp.nnct go ba-kwards. Today HoetHter’s Bitters is one of the moat popular rem. ediee in Christendom, and commands a larger sale than any other medicinal preparation, domestic or imported on this aide of the Atlantic. As a cure for dyspepsia,billious disorders,nervous affections,gen. eral debility, and as a preventive of epidemic fevers, it tabes prectdence of every other remedy. Thi* fact shouid teach the ambitious ceun ry dealers who endeavor to foist tbeir local abordious on the public in i.te stead, how lii- e their small attempt* to cojole the community must necessarily be.
