About live hundred perf-ons were present, and dis played preat interest in the sport. Four or live carriHpe loads of la-lies aio honored the meet BiR with their preat me. The whole aUuir was Kept in profound secrecy; the police were unac quainted with the ina'tcr, and cousequcntiy no pprchenii u was K it oi ollicial inuriemice. a hi knowledge produced a decree of quiet and ease among the spectators, and heightened their eniojmeutot the pport. Thirteen rounds were fought, durint? which the men were severely nuniKhed. i ho nVht. np. eupied twentj-eipht minutes. McMamia was declared the victor, and the purse was handed him by Uu- Lindaey, who acted as tlnil staxe bolder. McManus, the victor, drew the tirst blood and won the first knock down. Honest Lrkk was the relerec. Butt Riley acted as second for JlcManus, and Coon ILiHtinps as second for Daly. Jerry Nolan was the umpire for McAiamiB. and Thick Tulnuan fur Daly. Dick, Lynch, ot New York, was the stakeholder. At the conclusion ol the thirteenth round the audi ence dispersed, apparently satisfied with the result ol the Hunt. Consecration Servicks. Yesterday morn ing the lecture room of the new Moravian church, corner ot Franklin and Thompson streets, Rev. Dr. Hoffman pastor, was dedicated to the worship ot God, in the precnce ot a large number of persons. The dedicatory sermon was preached by the Kev. Edmund de fichweiniir, President ol the Mciavmn Theolo gical Seminary. Ac the close ol the discourse a collection was lakeu up in aid of the new enter prise, amounting to about $2000. In the atter noon a union niectms-, composed largely of the scholars belonging to the Sunday School, and their teachers, was held in the sume place, when addresses were made by the Rev. Drs. Hutter, Mitchell, Hoffman, and N. Gehr. Iu the even ing Bishop D. Bigler ordained to the Presbytery the pastor, Rev. Dr. Hollmau. Rev. Robert de fSchweinitz, President of the Provincial Bard at Bethlehem, also took part in the service. ' The building is ccnatructed of stone, and has been in prowess aBuut one year. The lower floor embraces the lecture-room, infant and adult Sunday School rooms, pastor's study, and library room. The windows are of stained glass, the pews are of chesuut, and are constructed in a man ner which adds to the comfort of the worshio- pers. The ceiling, which is of plaster paris, is panelled in a way that give9 beauty to the entire room. The pulpit is ot walnut, and is furnished ' with an Fpiscopal chair surmounted with a cross. The floor is ul.-o covered with a line carpet. The Inter-State Fair at Norristown. The inter-State lair, to be held at Norristown on Sen tember 11, continuing one week, promises to be nite successful. The fair grounds are delight fully situated, and have natural and artificial advantages, They cover thirty acres, and, in aaamon to ouiicungs, are lurnishea with a well laid race course. The distance from Pbiladel phi a is about sixteen miles, easily accessible bv railroads. The managers are displaying unusual energy in getting up the fair, and it will be under the auspices of the East Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society. .Extensive co-operation is guaranteed from numerous county societies in Eastern Pennsyl- Tama, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and other States. Among the specialties ot the fair will be a steam plough, winch will be practi cally tested. It is claimed that the engine of the plough can be run over ordinary roads, and ascend hills at an angle of forty-live degrees. A fire-extinguisher will also be tested. Among the horses entered are "Lady Thorn" and "Mountain jsiaid." These aro among the best stock in the country, and can only be surpassed by "Dexter," who has retired from the turf. Fire. At the corner of Fitler and Harrison streets there is a large laboratory and chemical works, known as Harrison's, a conglomeration of wooden buildings, tinted a russet by the fumes fiom the acids, etc., manufactured wit urn, One of the buildings took tiro yesterday morning about lour o'clock, and was totally de stroyed. It appears that the workmen do not labor ou Saturdays, but that the furnaces used in the business are kept going under the superinten dence of two firemen. One of them had occa sion to po into the consumed shed a few mo ments before the fire with a lighted lamp in his band. He had scarcely set it on the ground the floor is the bare soil when the air seemed to have taken fire. He ran out, and escaped with a slight singeing. The iumes of the acids Vpnt in several cisterns and exhalations from a still were inflammable hence the catastrophe. It is a wonder that all the buildings did not go, but the firemen were on haud in good time and saved them. The loss is ubout five thousand dollars. Insured. A Wonderful Escape. Rev. A. 0. Halsey, the Pastor of the Dutch Reformed Church at Churchville, in the Twenty-third Ward, made a miraculous escape from instant death on Friday last. He was driving across the tract of the North Pennsylvania Railroad, at the crossing of Nicetown lane, which is between Fisher's lane and Erie Station, when the locomotive of the 4 o'clock train up struck the rear of his wagon au-1 completely demolished it. Mr. Halsey was thrown a distance of thirty leet, and sustained some severe bruises, although fortunately no bones were broken. The train was stopped, and Mr. Halsey was conveyed to Jenkintown, irom which placa he was taken to his home by Mr. B. John Stevenson. He is supposed to be inter nally injured. Mr. Halsey is seventy years of age. . The Commerce op Philadelphia.
