MATTERS OVEIt TIt EIVER.
Tiir Perils of Wreckiso. jTew of our
Inland readers can appreciate the U.nKor d
xposure attendant upon the business of wreck
ing. None but the most experienced watei'.en,
fumll'.itr with all the shoals, channels, bam,
are employed in this work; for it is as roach vx
trade a one of the mechanical arts, and is fol
lowed by those who are as skilful as they are
iearVss .In managing a liieboaU The Jersey
coast is the frequent scene of marine disasters,
and although there are wreck stations at given
distances apart, there are too few, of them. A
Vessel is oitcn in danger of being beaten to
pieces or driven up high and dry on the beach
before assistance can be had. Were itotherwise
many lives now lost might have been saved, and
vessels destroyed might have been got off with
but trilling damage. The scenes ot -voe and dis
tress incident to wrecking are often truly harrow
ing. To see men, and olten helpless women, cling
ingto the rigging, or a fragment of the hull, and
the violence of the waves precluding all possi
bility ot aid, is a sight well calculated to elicit
the best efforts of our noble-hearted shoremen.
It is on such occasions that men place but little
value upon their lives; and the Jersey coast can
produce herws who have won as miperishuble
lionors in the worK of saving life, at those ac
corded to the victors of a well-contested
battlefield. The most remarkable man,
perhaps, who follows the business of
wrecking is Mr. Japhct Townsend, of
licedsville, near Somers' Point He is a man of
about forty-five years of age, stalwart, muscular,
and resolute. Every inch a sailor, familiar with
every loot of the coast, cool in the hour of
danger, and always urged to the rescue by the
Instincts ot a humane heart, his presence at a
wreck gives hope and confidence. He affords in
himself an example of personal risk which
almost amounts to rashness; and although he
loves his own trim-built schooner "next to his
wife," he will plunge the little craft in the
vicinity of breakers that oihers would shun, in
Oder to afford help. It was through his tact
and management that the 1 go steamer Nightin
cale, which went ashore on Brigantine shoals last
September, was saved. Ho it was who has just
paved the Armenia BarUett; but we cannot
enumerate his manv triumphs here. He has
saved millions of property and hundreds ot lives
Activity of toe Lumber Business.
Notwithstanding the general scarcity of dwell
ing houses in Camden a large number have been
erected, but too few, it seems, to meet the de
mand. There is, however, unabated activity in
the lumber business all along the shore, irom
Cooper street to Cooper's Point. The Mesjrs.
Btockbams, Mr. Garrison (successor to Bingham
AlGarrifion), and McKean & Bingham all keep
a large force at work, receiving and piling, saw
ing, planing, and forwarding lumber Dy rail and
boat, and by teams. The rapidly increasing
population on our different railroad routes,
added to house improvements, creates a con
stant demand, and the three lumber depots be
longing to the gentlemen named present stirring
business scenes, while their saw-mills are con
stantly working to their utmost capacity. All
three of the firms send large quantities of lumber
to Philadelphia. These gentlemen are expe
rienced in the business, and have, by their In
dustry and enterprise, made Camden the great
centre of the lumber trade.
Whakfijtg. Tbe process of filling up to
the wharf line is prosecuted with considerable
vigor on the property of Hon. John F. Starr, on
the river front, above Kaighn's Point. We
notice a space of about seven hundred feet
already partially tilled by ballast. Vessels are
constantly arriving to be relieved of ''dead
Ireight," which is accomplished by steam power
in a very short epace of time. This will be a
valuable wharf property when completed, and
will give an impetus to the growing prosperity
oi Kakhn's Point. We might add that the com
plete ferry facilities afforded by the excellent
and efficient management of Mr. Griffiths, the
Superintendent, has given life and energy to this
portion of Camden.
Dbowned. A lad about thirteen years of
acre, named William Ashbrook, son ot John C.
. Easllack, Esq., who resides near Carpenter's
Landing, in Gloucester county, was playing on
the ice, a few days ago, on the Pine Mill Pond,
when he fell through, and before any assistance
could be 'rendered he was drowned. There
were several others on the ice at the time of
the sad casualty, but they could not save him.
His body was recovered about two hours after
wards and restored to his parents. This sad
affair should serve as a warning against going
on ice which is too weak for fekating purposes.
St. Maby's Chubch. On the 22d of
December a chime of bells was shipped from
London, designed for St. Mary's Episcopal
Church, at Burlington. The congregation and
officers of that church had ordered them some
lime previously. It is their intention to have
them put into their proper places so that their
merry peals may be sounded over that rural city
on the 22d ot February next.

The schooner was taken into Egg Harbor but

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE&!
Several Persons Injured-Conflagration
at Point Breeze Cas Works
Loss Over Fifty Thousand Dollars-Five
Alarms of Fire
Yesterday.
A series of flrfs occurred yesterday, and no
less tutn five alarms were sounded from the
Central Station. Si-veral of the tires were quite
destructive, and the anpregate losses will proba
bly reach iilty thousand dollars. The year hai
not opened very auspiciously in the matter of
tires, at least
Yesterday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, a fire
broke out In the extensive coal sheds at the
Point Breeze Gas Works, bordering on the
Schuylkill river, in the extreme southwestern
limits of tho city. Owing to the distance of the
works from the built-up portions of the city,
and the horrid condition of the roads, it was
with the greatest difficulty that any Are appa
ratus could be hauled to the scene, and the lew
that reached the place did not arrive on the
ground until the lire naa wornca great Destruc
tion. The coal sheds, where the hre originated,
were four in number, having a depth of 200 foet
and width of 60 feet They ran east and west,
were onen at both ends and the sides, being a
kind of frame work, with slate roof, and sup
ported by girders. They were located directly
to the west of the retort houses, on the Schuyl
kill. At the west end ot tne sheas is a tower,
to which the coal is hoisted in cars, by mans
of hydraulic pressure. The cars then run along
a track on top of the sheds, through which the
coal is dumped. The north shed, where the
fire orginated, contained about 2500 tons of
coal. The next shed was empty, while the
two adjoining contained about 10,000 tons. The
hre was discovered in the north shed by tbe
Superintendent, and before he had barely
time to summon aid, tne wnoie pile oi coai from
one end ot the shed to the other, a distance of
three hundred feet, was in a blaze. It was most
remarkable indeed, the fury with which the coal
ignited. The flames communicated to the wood
work of the adjoining shed, and the roofs of both
were soon burned oil. The coal was purchased
of the Pennsylvania and West Mountain Com
pany, and Is supposed to have ignited by spon
taneous comouetion, in consequence oi tne
recent inclemency of the weather, by which it
had become very much dampened. Soon after
the fire broke out it became evident that tbe
employes around the grounds could not extin-
guisn tbe names, ana an aiarm was at once
given to the Central Police and Fire Tele
eraph Station. Steam engines were at once
notified, but it was a long time beioro any or
them could reach the works. The steamer of
the Western Hose Company stuck fast in the
mud on Maiden lane, below the railroad a short
distance. After an hour's labor it was extri
cated, when eight horsee were attached, and
even then it was impossible to proceea at a
taster puce than a sniurt walk. Other appara
tus, alter proceeding part of the way,
were obliged to turn back. Towards even
ing the muddy roads became frozen,
and travel then 'was rendered tar more
difficult. Altogether, only four steamers had
reached the scene ot conluigration up to 10
o'clock last night. The two north sheds were
entirely destroyed, the southern ones, with their
contents, being saved. Had it not b'jen tor the
fortunate fact, however, that the second shed
was empty, tho whole four woul i have perished.
Located to the northwest of the sheds stands the
lime-kilns, which being .on very low ground
along the river front the tops only extended up
to about the foundation ot the coal sheds. These
ime-kilns were covered with frame sheds, and
the latter were partially burned off. The kilns
are about one and a half ttory in height, and
were hlled with lime, which is always in a burn
ing state, being used in the purifying of the gas.
These kilns, together with the lime sheds, staud
isolated, and in no way connected with the main
buudinrc.
About 7 o'clock the flame were seeu issuing
from the three-story building on the Schuylkill
river adjoining the gas works. It was owned by
Mr. Lippincott, and used as a Laboratory for
the purpose oi masring "rnaraon s serpents."
The entire main building was destroyed. A
building adjoining, used as the engine-room, was
saved, but ' nothing but the walls of the main
building are left. We were Informed that Mr.
Bowers occupied the building, but that gentle
man iuforms us he did not. We learned since
that the Messrs. Wvatt occupied the building for
the manufacture of tbe serpents. Tho workmen
left the laboratory at 6 o'clock, and it is strongly
conjectured that the Are was the act of an incen
diary. The tiremen turned their streams upon
the building, but it burned very rapidly. At 10
o'clock last evening, the steamers ot the Phila
delphia Engine, Delaware, YVtern Hose, and
lteliance were in service, throwing water uoon
the burning coal. Mules were then being sent
up the roads to bring other 6teamers which
were stuok au the mud.
The root st tho dwelling-house at Twenty-
second ana Green streets was slightly damaged
bv fire, about 6 o'clock vcitordav afternoon. The
names originatea irom sparKS wiling on tne rooi
from a Dumug chimney.
A stable on wood street, between Twentieth
and Twentv-flrst streets, belonging to Mr.
Bloomer, was slightly damaged by hre about
half-past 9 o'clock last evening. The firemen
here turned out in lorce, although the Point
Breeze tire was not yet extinguished.
About 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon the Ches
nut street Are aeain broke out. A number of
fire companies came upon the ground, and seve'
ral streams were directed upon the kindling
ruins.
The Fire at the Point Breeze Gas Works
The Flames Still Raging.'
This morning the destructive fire at the Point
Breeze Gas Works, the particulars of which are
published above, was still raging, and two more
steamers were teicgrapnea tor. 'mere is no
danger of the fire spreading any further. From
2500 to 3000 tons of coal in the north shed were
still burning this morning, notwithstanding the
immense volumes of water that were being
thrown thereon by the steam engines. Work
men were engaged in haulm? the burning mass
away from the bheds, as it was thought that the
flumes could only be sudued by scattering the
coal.
The value of the coal is estimated at twelve
dollars per ton, and the stock destroyed at about
fifteen thousand dollars, thus making the total
loss at least City thousand dollars. e were
unable to learn whether there was any insurance
on the material aud sheds tbat are consumed.
Prom all that we could eather we are induced to
believe that there was not one dollar of insur
ance on the property.
The oriein of the fire at the laboratory, on a
line northjof tbe Gas Works property, is involved
in considerable mystery. The nre was nrst ais
covered about 7 o'clock last night. A watchman
living in a small frame structure a snort ais
tance from the laboratory heurd a loud explo
slon, and, '' jumping up, discovered the whole
structure on nre. it was a three-story oricK,
with gravel root, and belonged to J. JJundas Ia
Dincott.
The building was completely gutted out, and
the loss is estimated at $2500, upon which there
is no insurance. It was occupied by Henry
Bower, manufacturer of sulpho-cyanlde of mer
cury, used lor making 'he "Pharoah's serpents."
The material was sold in bulk to the various
druggists throughout this citv. They made it
up into the email conical-shaped balls, in which
lorui it u uisposea oi. Mr. uower also manu'
factured prussiata of notash nnrt other rhemi
cals. His loss will reach about $1000. upon
which there is no insurance. Tho boiler and
engine-house were saved.
The origin ot mu nre is receiving the utmost
REDUCED TRICES.
scrutiny of tho Fire Marshal. The fire in the
coal sheds was caused from spontaneous rom
buf-tlon. Of this there is no doubt. Thai
another accidental fire should originate on the
same property whilo the first was still raging is
rather a singular coincidence, and warrants that
the matter should receive the most scrutinizing
investigation.
Another Df.stritctiyk Firk. 'About

in a j.'our-story .brick building at tho southwest
corner of Franklin street and Girard avenue,

The second stov? was considerably damngod.
The building was 7110(1 bv Thomas L. Price,
and the total loss wiliUach between three and
lour t.hnu.nTwiiriniint. C Schwartz, one of the
painters employed bv : Mr. Rech, was badly
burned about the face arvl hands by his clothes
taking fire in endeavor1, ,t extinguish the
flames. He was removed to L " residence, at No,
1313 Randolph street. Two other men were
slightly burned. About two h oun before the
conflagration theplace took are irom me o.irn

tinguished by the workmen.
A Desperate. Characte-About two
weeks since Officers Smith and Flaherty, of the
Fifteenth Ward police, while atteraptnig tomake
mi (irrp&t at Twentv-thlrd and Callowhill Streets.
were attacked by five or six roughs belont ing to
the notorious gang of "Spicket." Officer Sm&h
was badly beaten, and the prisoner was rescued.
Yesterday Officer Smith met 8. Homan, one of
tbe party who nsa assaulted mm. noioan ran,
and Smith pursued him, firing two shots, which
did not take effect. At Twentieth and Race
streets Homan was arrested by a Mr.. Penrose,
one of the conductors on tho Pennsylvania
Railroad. The prisoner had a hearing be'bre
Alderman Hutchinson, and was held in $1000
bail to answer.
A Nuisance that Should be Abated.
The proprietors of freight cars in the forward
intr houses on Broad street, between Archi and
Callowhill, are in the habit of leaving the' cars
standing across the footways every Saturday
night, thus blocking up the pavement, and com
pelling ladies wno resiae on the upper part oi
Broad street, and who may desire to go down to
the vicinity of Broad and Arch street to church
on Sunday morning, to vacate the sidewalks and
tramp through the nind or snow to tho middle
ot the street. The sidewalks are tor pedestrians
and not for freltrht cars.
A TniEF Makes a Poor Investment.
Daring the excitement attending the flre at
Rock hill t Wilson's clothing store, the other
niyht, a fellow rushed into the establishment,
arid embraced the opportunity to slip off an oi l
pair of pants, for which he substituted a pair of
new ones. Fully satisfied with his "bargain,"
he then cleared out. When the police went in
they found the old pants, and in tho pocket a
portemonnaic containing twenty-seven doUars.
The thief in his haste had forgotten the money,
which would have paid lor the trowsers twice
over.
Charged with Kicking Pockkts.
This morning Hugh Connelly was arraiened
before Alderman Clouds, cbareed with having
picked the pocket of Mr. Ambrose White of $00.
The theft is alleged to have been committed last
niuht. on the rear platform of one of the Fifth
Street Passeneer Railway cars. Mr. White was
on his wav to the New York depot at the lime.
Connelly and two others were on the platform,
ana as tnr money was not recovereu, u is uy
nosed that it was slipped to one ot the "pals."
The defendant was committed lor trial by Alder
man Cloud.

CARSON GOLD MINING COMPANf
OF
NOJITII CAHOLINA.
Tho Land of tbls Company cotuiats ot 110 Acres,-la
Jl eckleaburg county, Horth Carolina, th miles trom the
town of Charlotte, on a branch of Sugar Creek, which
stream furnishes good water-power for grinding the ores.
This Mine was nrst opened In 1838 by a man named Car"
son. w ho worked It successfully lor a number of years
Be died in the town of Charlotte, in 1846, worth over
bah a million dollars.
'J wo shafts have been sunk on this property, ona of
them feet, the other 60 loot, on different veins,
averaging trom two to three (bet in thickness, wMoh
veins still continue on down Increasing in width
ana richness. These shafts are la good order, anj ora
can be readily taken c at at any time. Other veins have
been discovered on this proper ly, and tented, and proved
to be very rich in gold. The ores of this mine are known
as tbe brown ore. and very rich, yielding readily (1
per bushel. Tbls Is believed to be one of tbe best and
most certain mines in the State, on account of the abun
dance and quality ot the ore, and the ease with which it
is obtained and reduced. Tbls property has been
worked. by Major Z. A. Grler from 184V to the breaking
outof tbe war. This Company have purchased this
property, and Intend to erect machinery and put tbe
mines la Immediate operation. The maiy advantages
of this mine over the mines ot Colorado and Nevada can
hardly be estimated. . lt.ls more readily reached, and
ba;ahundance of fuel, with cheap labor. It can be
worked all the rear, and not, as m, the case of Colorado
and Jsevnda, be compelled to Ho Id e for thrreorlbur
months In consequence of the severity of the winter.
This mine having been worked tor a lonx time, proved
to be a rich pajlng one. We do not, therefore, have to
incur tbe rink there la In an undeveloped property, but
can count on larye and immediate returns on tbe inreat
tuents. , Having an ore that readl y yields tetsdoUarsper
bushel, some estimate can be made of the value ot this
proporty. With the present Imperfect system. ot iuiuing
in this locality, and absence ot proper. maoblnery, tea
tons ot this oie can be taken out dally frum, every shaft
opened. .Estimating, say fl.teen buahe s-to tbe ton, the
daily yield will be fifteen hundred dollars tiom one shaft,
allowing three hundred dollars per day for expenses. Tie
net pioduct will be alUOO per day) counting X00 working;
days to the year, the yearly proceeds V1U be ajO,oo,
which yield can be largely increased by extending the
works. Tbls Is considered a very low.etltnate of the
capacity of this mine by experienced, miners ot. that
locality. Tbe Asaayer- of the United btates W.nt at
Charlotte, In speaking of this property, says It be few
equate in productiveness in that anuntry, aud with
proper management, and machlner the above product
can be doubled.
