The church to whicii iuopojj 8 one of
the llnest church ...mings in the Vicinity, ami owes
It 8 Oitg.lD Mto being to tfcft liberality of Colonel
Harton II. JChVa, Tne cltlf.ens of Hrldesburg aro In
every way Indebted to this gentleman. He Is the
head of the large manufacturing establishment, one
of the largest of Its kind In the coantrv, winch Is
situated near the town, and which provide the
means of living fur the niojorliyof Its inhabitants.
A few years ago the beautiful stone church nan
built to meet the wants of the place, at a cost of
thirty-five thousand dollars. It has a seating
capacity of seven hundred, and a congregation at
present of about five hundred. Attached to this
chnrrh is one of the largest Sunday-schools to he
found anywhere In Philadelphia. It nas over sis
hundred scholars; and a largo building, separates
from the church, but In the same enclosure, supplies
It with ample accommodations.
Kvery year this Sunday-school Is furnished with a
pleasing and Instructive entertainment bv Hs fonn
tlcr and superintendent, Mr. Jenks. For three years
past these entertainments have been somewhat on
the order of a mfcglcal soiree by an amateur but
very expert, pf rformcr, Dr. L. It. Koecker, a well
known dentist of West Walnnt street.
Last evening, In addition to the members or the
school, several lnvltd guests from the city were
present at such an entertilnment, through the kind
Invitation of Colonel Jenks. Among these were
lion, w. S. Pelrce, Attomey-Ueneral r. Carroll
Brewster, lion. Edward M. Pax son, lion. Joseph
Allison, Hob. Morton McMichael, Colonel William
15. Mann, J. G. Mitchell, Esq., Colonel Thomas Fitz
gerald, MeBsrc Ueorge Northrop, F. Theodore
Walton, and others. It was the tlrst intention to
nave addresses from somo of these gentlemen, but
as time would not penult the exhibition was Imme
diately proceeded with. It lasted from half-past 7
until 10 o'clock, Bud du.-lng All that time the attention
of the audience was held with the greatest case, tin!
adult guests being as much iutercsted as the
children.
The performance was of the highest order of ex
cellence. Some of the tricks had been performed
before by professional hands, hut were fully no to
the biBt standards, while others were entirely new.
The entire apparatus used was the handiwork of
the exhibitor, who has the reputation or being tho
best maker of such kntcknacks In the country. The
results attained certainly justified the assertion.
Some of the most successful performances were
the bird In the box, the egg trick, the fortune-teller,
and the rope-dancer, while those most satiafactory
to the juveniles were tho handkerchief and the
magic-box tricks, by which suatar bonbons were
manufactured wholesale, at least to tho extent of a
small barrel full, which bonbons were then deli
vered over to the superintendent and hi assistants,
who distributed them to the children small and
great.
Dr. Koecker was efficiently assisted on the stage In
oil his performances by Mr. F. A. Rerger, who is an
old hand at such work, and by Walter Jenks, a son
Ol the Colonel.
At the conclusion the children retired, well
pleased by what they had seen and more than ever
devoted to Colonel Jenks aud his lady, who both
take an active interest in the school.
After the audience had dispersed, the Invited
guests were driven to Colonel Jenks' private resi
dence, where the party partoc k of his hospitality,
and spent the remainder of tho evening In speech
making, toasting, singing, and enjoying themselves
gcuetiilly. It was not uutil a late hour that tho as
sembly broke np, and then all returned to their car
riages and wera driven homewards, much pleased
with the entertainment to which they had been
treated.

yesterday he represented that he had been boarding
at the St. Charles Hotel and had made the acquaint
ance of a young gentleman, with whom he had gone
to the Mechanics' Bank for the purpose of having a
draft cashed. Stroud stated further that he pro
cured the money, and after leaving the Hank had
been robbed by his new-made friend. The tlrm then
made Inquiry at the bank, and found that 110 such
person had obtained any fuuus at that Institution.

Jla Interview with thn Fx-Hniperor nt WIN

lite riubIlo of Frauce.
ILeNcwYoik Herald hsrn a long report of
an alleued conversation hetween a correspon

Hie narrative will be fouud upon an Innido pao
of this paper. 1 He lollowiut? additional pas
tures w ill re read witu interest:
Kieneror Napoleon I suppose that Americans
would ruitiiially sympathize with repuoiicau Institu
tions; out an f rinuoi.s requisire t.o a true n-nuou-can
form of government are absolutely wanting In
France. Those who lioldly jtrasped tlie reins
of power have already discovered their utter
inability to cBtahlish such a government.
That lor which they blamed me most they
have bten compelled to do themselves, and
in a form still more obnoxious. The restraint im
posed upo the press, for lnstaucc, was the court-tut
theme of most violent attacKs on roy Government:
but while 1 made bat moderate uso or tiie l:tw, while
fines and pnnishnieot were rare, aud preceded a
milt system of avrtiisiraentH, they have suppressed
a number of journals because they did not
clime In with their fantastic Ideas of repu.lv
Ucnn sentiments, presupposing a vital Interest of
a majority of the people In wliit concerns the
country, and a willingness to put tmlr shoulder to
the wliti 1, wtdch does not exist in Frauce. lean
illustrate to you the utter poliMcal Indifference
which pervades the masses by the following inci
dent: one of the reprt seutatives In the Depart
ment of tne Jura, an oilkvr of my army, a t'rl-i 1 to
me personally, and a staunch imperialist, who was
at the Mtn.e time wealthy, and a citizen well Known
ard ht(jlily esteemed in tne cotnmuul'.y, died. At

wealthy and will-kuowu citizen, M. Grevy, wa-4

all their strcneth for revenue reformers for

London, Nov. 10. A lato issue of La France
newspaper eays the question of the revictualing
of Paris was the real stumbling block in the way
of the negotiations for an. armistice. The mat
ter of elections in Alsace and Lorraine was not
vital and might have been satisfactorily ar
ranged. Intelligence of events in Paris on the
81st of October had reached tho German head
quarters. On the 2d inst., when Thiers returned
to the Prussian headquarters from his confer
ercc with the Paris government, the Prussian
tone had changed and harder conditions were
abked because of the prospect of internal discord

SHOCKING SUICIDE.
A ProDilnebt iltlztn of Newark, N. J., Ilunftf
Himself.
The Newark Advertiser of last evening says
Mr. William R. t-ayre, a gentleman well
known in this city, au old resident, and gone
rally esteemed as a man of strict business in
tegrity and probity of character, committed
suicide between 11 and 12 o'clock to-day, by
hanging himself in the drying-room of his
residence, No. 51 Fulton street. About three
mouths ago he began to exhibit symptoms of
mental derangement. This morning it was
noticed by his family tbat he seemed quite
nervous, and about the time mentioned above
he was missed, but his wife thought he had
gone out lor a walk. About 12 o'clock, how
ever, as he failed to return, search was made
for Lim through tbe house, and he was finally
found, as stated above, quite dead. lie had
need a short pieoe of a clothes Hue, aud was so
suspended that his knees touched the floor.
Deceased was in very comfortable circum
stances, and bore tbe character of a gcuerous
and high-minded mau. He twice represented
tbe Fourth Assembly district of this county in
the Legislature, once in 1807 and again at the
hut eetbion.
Mr. Sayre was an elder in the Second Presby
terian Church, Superintendent of the Sunday
school, and an active man in all matters per
taining to tbe interests of his church, lie was
a director of tbe Newark Mutual Insurance
Company, and occupied other positions ot
trust and honor. He was also a member of se
veral of tbe city commissions to assess damages
and benefits for various improvements, and en
joyed in a peculiar degree the confidence of his
feilow men. He was about fifty-five years of
age, and leaves a wife, two daughters, and
one son.
For some days past his family have been
watching his movements, in tbe belief that his
mind was impaired, noticing which he asked
"why do you watch me? do you think lam
going to kill myself '(" He voted yesterday, but
with great reluctance, saying they would think
he was crazy if he went to the polls. The
melancholy affair has plunged a large circle of
relations and friends into grief, and startled tho
entire community.
