been written concerning the horrors of the terrible affliction which has visited this beautiful valley, the scenes at the burial this afternoon would afford a chapter for the pen of the writer. It can only be said that the interment was marked by most thrilling inoidentß of grief and mourning. Some of the friends of the departed were utterly unable to control their feelings, and they burst forth into weeping and moaning of the most bitter description. The clergymen performed their religious offices with much feeling, and counselled the bereaved ones to be as calm as they could possibly be under their deep afflic tion. How tho Dead Looked!—How tho Women Mourned! A special correspondent of the New York World wri'.es as follows: The appearance of the dead men is awful, ; ns how could it fail to be., But it is merely that. It is not in the least nauseating.— These colliers’ bodies, now to decent burial slowly borne, are unwounded, in by far the most cases. Sometimes clots of blood, ex uded from the nostrils, are stiffened on the lips. One or two oDiy have frothed at the mouth in the agony of deathj and the bub bles of spume pullover their mouths whon the cloth is druwu. One man was badly wounded fn the cheek, and this was the only real disfigurement I saw. The ex pression is, for the most part, peaceful, and denotes that the consummation of the as phyxia had been almost perfect.y painless. It is not likely tbut it is agonizing, for this is tho same form of death which Paris, monopolist of Injuries, for so long enjoin ed, in tho form of the charcoal-bruziot, upon such of her children as wished to Jeuve life. There is a wonderful ruddiness about the faces and bodies of all these men.— It pleases some of tho bystanders to call it ‘’bloat,” but it is not attended by any tuffy look of the Mesh, and I, at least, can not distinguish it from the glow of health. It seems us if their destroyer had had the graco to preserve them from corruption. Killing, he died upon a kiss. I have seen only one man whose face was ghastly, and it was also the only face I haye seen con torted. But he was spare and consump tive looking, and it rnuy very well be that *what seemed to me a deathly pallor by con trast was his normal hue in life. But nearly ■all wore/ortia corpora virum —lit to bo the mighty bodies of heroes* I have certainly never soeu , 'in auy like number of men in the same rank of life so many noble heads and frank faces as those which this mort •oloth has uncovered hero to-day. They were almost all Welshmen, for few Irish names appear upon the Hat of them, and only one American, I’eler Johnson, is ; known to huve been in the mine, and cer tainly this dead array speaks well for tho sons of Cymri. When the smears of tho mine are washed away, there appear close curling'locks, lino clean cut features, and j columuar nocks and busts. Leaving out tho transiitruriug olleot that death has, when death comes thus .suddenly, without •emaciation or disease, those bodies show their owners to have been noble physical ■men. One man I remember especially, •whose, grand torso, as it lay Imre uponthe stretcher, might outvie many model moulds <of marble, lie was one of the sixty-three, -.and his clenched hands were poised over ibis as if his last gesture might have been a defiance of the dark power that had borne him d,own, or an appeal to a power higher still. ; It is rather of the bereaved limn of the i dead that ouo cun think rationally at such i a terrible lime as this. Those are beyond his sympathy, because they unj beyond bis apprehension. But ho bus in some measure suffered what these also suffer, and ho can partly feel with them. But a stroke so sudden ami so awful us this al most disarms an attempt at consolation to thoso who have been smitten by it. All round him. if not hero in the crowd, in tho cabins hard by, are tiiose who last Sunday wore happy and hopeful wives and mothers and daughters who are now widows and childless and fatherles-i. I know not whether this community of grief alleviates or aggra vates its burden to the individual sufferers, but certainly it impresses one with a feeling of awe differing in kind as well as in degree from the pity he might have wore each strick en by an individual pang. Those of these poor women mu-l l>« levnunted least un happy who have taken lumie their (toad for the few hours that remains before the hour of final parting, as it Mrmh to us, who are in oupabloof dividing body and soul even in our thoughts, shall have irrevocably struck. They at least know tho very worst. They have all that is left to watch with and to weep over. But those whose hearts and thoughts are still ginping and darkling iu tho mine, to whom each new out-come from it brings only up anew the agonizing ques tion, “Is it he?" aro in a suspense far more maddening than the very worst of tho reality can bo. Let us hope that by • to-morrow all this misery at least will be over. L read with surprise that !mid wails of grief are to bo hoard all over 1 this smitten spot. Perhaps they are, but 1 have not heard them. This is tho third day since the calumny is known, and tho second since hope was forbidden to hope, ami it is very possible that the fountain of tears has gone dry. The widowed women sit on their thresholds, or just within them, m silence, \ and iook straight hef<u .. ■ hem with a stolid, ] stony stare, as if all things in heaven and j earth w«*r*< dead, that is infinitely more ! mournful than tin- wildest bursts of wail- I ing could be. Their neighbors glide in, and sit in silence, and glide out again, but these heed not their going uor tbeircoming. I Always the same straight and uuregardiug I stare, as if behind it there were a kind of womler that the sun shodld shine, and the xiver Mow, and men and women go and • come, now when all that made life w/»rth living was blotted out. I have only sei-11 two exceptions to tins sepulchral sadness. •One was an oid Irish woman, who sat upon tho steps of her cabin ibis, morning rock ing herself to and I'm, and crooniug just -articulate! v in lime to her swaying. "Oh Ton'll Oli Tutu!" (I wish it were within the resources of print to couvey some far-off shadow of tho iulouation she gave'tp these two monosyllables.).“Oh Tom! Oh Tom ! Why did you die? Why did you leave tne? 01: Tolu, Tolu, Tom ! oh Tom ! Oh Tom !" The other was a young Welsh girl writli ing anti groveling beside the ruad late this afternoon, in upito of the entreaties of the other Welsh girl who was with her, and biiryiug her face in the dirt, with wild tu multuous bursts of sobbing, aud broken ejaculations that she might die. What a contrast to this was that Welsh widow who sat in her door, still as a statue, and looked out upon hut not at llio cureless .crowd, with an expression of so uttqr woe -on her handsome I'aoc that many could not 'help turning from the path to offer her a kind word or two. She made no answer to them ; but looked at them as if they were giving hor her due, lor which she owed them neither thanks nor notice. She .seem ed to feel with Queen Constance, though she could not read her own thoughts in Shakes poare'a words: t ,l To me and to the slate of my great, grief Let k lugu assemble ; tor my griefs so great Thai no supporter but the bilge, tlrm earth (Jim hold It up. Here I and sorrow sit. Hore is my Uironc: bid kings coino bow to it.” Accurate Description of the M’pnc oi the Disaster--* ! lie nlners’ Nufoly I.auipt* ——III the Labyrinths of Dark ness—'Tile Fire Damp. Tbo Avondale mine has been worked for two years. Three months ago the turners struck. They resumed work on Thursday last. Thu mine is entered by a shaft on the hillside. This is the onlv entrance. Wooden buildings, 100 feet high and 20U feet long, eoverod the mouth oi the shaft. The mine was Tilled with narrow passages, from four to ten feet high, which occasionally open into immense pockets or caves. A railroad track was laid on the bottom of eacli of these passages The cars were liiled with coal, three-quarters of a mile from the shaft, by the miners at work. Tho i_* r >al cars were then run through the various wooden-sup ported passages to the shall. They were thou run upon a platform, which was raised to the top of the shaft, the same as a com mon elevator or a vertical railway. When the cars reached the earth’s surfuce ;tbey were run out over a trestle railwuy through the wooden buildings-and dumped. The coal would fall in huge screens, where, in some cases, it was properly assorted, aud then dumped into the cars of the Blooms burg and Lackawanna Kailrond, by which means it was taken to market. ENTERING THE MINE. A person wishing to enter the mine would gut into an empty coal car, which was then run upon tho elovator at the top of the shaft. At a given sinnal the empty car would drop, aud at the same Lime a loaded car would ascend the double shaft. As the oottom was struck, the empty car would glide oil'into a dark passage, aud a loaded car would take its place. Iti an in stant a mule would be hitched to the empty car, which woulisbi! drawn at a rapid rate to the foot of nuty&lincd plane. Hero a train of light cars would be formed, which were then drawn up the plane by the sim ultaneous descent of a train of loaded cars THE LAMPS AND DARK TUNNELS. The various veins of coal in the Avondale mine are some nine feet thick, and have a gentle upward slope. A passage way is cut along each vein. These tunnels are fear fully dark. Their only light is that from the iniuers’ lamps. These safety lamps are worn on the miners’ hats. THE BREASTS AND THE POCKETS, The “ breasts” in which the mining is carried on sometimes resemble huge halls and rooms. One vein iu the Avondale mine is thirty teet thick, aod the gallery along this vein is correspondingly large. The rniue is simply a vast network of black labyrinths, expanding occasionally into Immense pockets or “breasts,” where larger blasts than usual are made. Tho coal is cracked by these blasts, aud loosened by the pick and shovel, after which the cars are filled. The miners work in these dark galleries iu groups of from five to a dozen men. The cars hold about two tons upiece In brisk times the mine will turn out 000 tons per day. The miners proper work by the carload, and easily make $o per day. The mule boys generally get $5 per week. The men who handle the cars and attend to the hoisting are also paid by the week. THE DEADLY FIRE AND CHOKE DAMP. As there was but one main shaft to the Avondale mine, its ventilation was diffi cult. It had not been worked lor some time and much foul air had collected in the damp places. 1 Besides the bad air generated by the men and horses, and by tho burning of lamps and gunpowder inflammable gases issue from crevices in the coal. These gases mingle with the foul air of the mine, and will explode on the approach of a light ed candle. This gas is the fire-damp so much dreaded by the miners. To breuthe tit thirty seconds is sure death. The fire-damp is composed of carburetted hydrogen, and the choke damp of carbonic. When blasting for coal it will frequently Issue in jets called blowers. At times, when the cavities are broken into the coal by picks or crowbars, these blowers will burst ipjj-g LANCASTJjR WRIFiKLY OEB, WJj£p..N~3SSP.A.Y > SEPTEMBER 1869. out, creating a stinging noise by the force current. The great danger is from opening pent-up reservoirs bolding under great pressure immense bodies of gas disseminat ed through large areas of coal, or collected In abandoned workings'. AN EXPLOSION. When such bodies are inflamed, the whole atmosphere of that portion of the mine explodes, and the coal dost floating through the passages is ignited. The mine is like the interior of a fiery furnace. The flames rush through the long corridors, causing repeated explosions. In some cas es} they spring up the shatts as if issuing from the crater of the volcano. The sub terranean walls are frequently shaken as if by an earthquake. The miners in the workings, their lights blQwn out by the force of the explosion, hasten through the dark passages, stumbling over heaps of rubbish. THE FATAL FURNACE. It is possible that the accident at the Avondale mine was caused by one ot these explosions. Persons entering the mine complain of the sulphurous fumes, chok ing up the corridors. The mine was venti lated by a furnace at the bottom of the shaft. By this furnace the air was made to circulate through the compllca'ed passages of the mine. The air for feeding the fur nace was of course drawn from the lower part of the mine. DEADLY VENTILATION Avondale mine has but one shaft. That was divided by an air-tigbt partition into an upcast and a downcast. The fresh air was introduced by the downcast. Partitions across the passages below caused the air to pass to any and all desired points before It reached the passage leading to the furnace. Ingenious expedients were adopted to regu late the currents of air, and to cause only the air which had paused through the purer portions of the mine to feed the lire, lest tho more impure currents should become inflamed, and the explosions follow back into the most remote workings. The partitions across the great gangways along which the coal was run to the shaft, was furnished with doors, which were opened and shut as the coal cars passed through. Thus the furnace was the sole means of ventilation. TIIE I*IT OF THE DEAD. The cause of the disaster will Dever be known. At early morn u stream of fire shot up the shaft with frightful rapidity, and the buildings above were wrapped In flames so quickly that the engineers and others barely bad time to escape. The wood of the shaft either caught fire from the furnace or the rushiDg blaze came from the-ligbUng of a lire damp within the mine. The dryness of tho mine favors the former supposition, but tho sulphurous gases choking the explorers, Xind the Meetness of the lire, would indicate au ignition of u lire damp. In either case every soul in the mine has perished. The telegraph has failed to tell us who attended to the furnace, or whether any dead bodies were found ut the bottom of tho shaft. Dentil of Senator Fessenden. The telegraph announces the death of the lion. Win. Pitt Fessenden, United States Seuator from Maine, perhaps the ablest, as he certainly was among the most elevated In character, of the Republican Senators. He died at his homo in Portland, Maine, yesterday morning. He was born in Bos cuwen, New Hampshire, in 1806, graduated at Bowdoin College in 1823, studied law, and was admitted to the bur in 1827. In 1821) ho removed to Portland, and in 1831 was elected to the Stale Legislature, in which he subsequently served several years and was on the judiciary committee. Iu 18-tO he was elected to Congress,| where he participated largely in the current debates. Ho earnestly opposed the repeal of the then bankrupt law. In 18-13 be was nominated for re election to Congress, but declined, preferring to return to tho practice of his profession. In the meuntiuie the votes of tho whig party in the Legislature were given to him for a vacant seat in the Senate. 1-Tom 18-i.j to 1832 he was in private life, devoting himself to professional pursuits, and during that period was associated willi Daniel Webster in an important case be fore tho Supreme Court at Wushingtou, in which lie had to contend against the weight and influence of Judge Story’s opinion and I decision against his client in the court bo i low, and wus successful, the deoiaiou of 1 (hut eminent judge being reversed. Once j during this period, iu 1830, Mr. Fessenden i was elected to Congress, hut his seat was l given to his competitor through au error | in the retuns. In lSs3|he was again elected i to the State Legislature, and was chosen by one branch, tho Senute, us United States Senator ; the House, being Democratic, did not concur. In 1834 he was again a mem ber of the Legislature, which was Demo cratic iu both branches. The Kausns-Ne braska question having now become au important political element, Mr. Fessenden was chosen United States Senutor by both j branches, on the first ballot, by tho union of the whigs and free soil Democrats, which proved a preliminary step towards the es tablishment of the Uepubhcuu p irty in Maine. Mr. Fessenden took his seat in the Senate February 23, 1854, and on the 3d of March distinguished himself hy a powerful speech against the Nebraska bill. In 1856 he was unanimously re elected as United [ Stales Senator, and after tho resignation of ] Mr. Chase as Secretary of the Treasury he j was appointed to and accepted that import -1 ant position, but did not hold it long. He Iwus then again elected by the Legislature of his State to tho Senate. Mr. Fessenden held an exalted runkas a clear-headed and logical dobater.and commanded the respect of his political opponents by his compara tively liberal ideas and bearing. Death of Hon, John Bell. Hon. John Hell, whose death on Septem ber* lOili has been announced, was born at Nashville, Tenu., on I°ebruary 15, JTUT. Af ter graduating at Nashville University, in ISM, he commenced the study of law, and was admitted to the bar in 1816. He was elected to the Senate of Tennessee in 1817, although only twenty years of age, and alter serving out his term, declined a re-election, and continued in the practice of his profes sion for the next ten years at Franklin, Williamson county. In 1827, ho was elected a Representative in Congress by a large majority over Felix Grundy, and com menced his career as a prominent member of the Whig party. lie was re-elected to the House of Representatives for seven suc cessive terms, officiating as Spoaker of the twenty-fourth Congress, from December 7th, 1835, to March 4th, 1837. Ua March 4th, 1841, he was appointed Secretary of War by President Harrison, aud resigned that po sition on October 12th, 1841, on the recon struction of the Cabinet after the succession of President Tyler. In 1847 Bell was elected a member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, but before the end of the year was chosen United Stales Senator for the term ending March 4th, 1853, when ho was again elected to the Senate for another term of six years. Ho withdrew from Congress in 1850, and since that time has beeu living in retire ment. As a politician, John Bell was prominent in the discussions on the removal, of the de posits from United States Bank, and as an opponent of the policy of General Jackson, though a Representative from a Southern State, bo was not a violent advocate of slav ery. Iu 1836, he voted to receive petitions for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia; was opposed to the policy of the annexation of Mexico, in 1854, voted against the Kansas-Nebraska bill,repealing the Missouri Compromise ; and in 1858 vo ; ted against the admission of Kunsas under I the Lecompton Constitution. In 1860, the Whig aud Native American party of the South, iu the hope of averting secession, nominated as candidates John Bell for President, and Edward Everett, for Vice Piesident. This ticket received 596,631 votes principally m the South, and carried throe southern Stales—Virginia, Kentucky and i Teunessee. During the civil war, Bell j sympathized with the South, but gave the | rebellion no active support. Tlie Funeral of the S.ato Secretary Haw* Washington*, Sept. 9.—The funeral of the late Secretary Rawlins will be the larg est and most imposing since that of Presi dent Lincoln. The weather is very line The rain of yesterday has laid the dust so that the streets were in splendid condition for marching. The display of mititary is larger and better than was expected. The citizens turned out in large numbers. Early this morning every thing in tbo shape of a carriage had been engaged. Shortly before 10 o’clock Mrs. Rawlins arrived at the War Department accom panied by her mother. She was taken on the arm of Gen. Sherman to the room where her husband's remains lay, and an effeel iug scone ensued. v At 10 o’clock religious services were con ducted at the War Departmeut iu the room where the catafalque stood. An impres sive prayer was offered by Rey. Dr. Butler of the Lutheran Church, alter which Rev. Mr. Wilsou who baptised Gen. Rawlins delivered a brief address. Appropriate passages ol scripture were then read by Rev. B. Prittou Brown, and the exercises concluded with prayer by Rev. Dr. Hamil ton. The procession was very long, and was an hour in passing any given point. Fast Tweuty-Mlle Trot Philadelphia, Sept. 10.—The famous horse “Jack Stewart” to-day trotted twenty miles in fifty-nine minutes and thirty-nine and a half seconds at Suffolk Park. The wager was for two thousand dollars against three thousand, the latter sum being bet on tbe horse making the distance in one hour. The following is the time made in each mile: 2.56, 251, 2.55, 2,49, 2 59, 2.57,2.56, 2 £7, 3.01, 3.01, 2.54, 2 57, 2.57, 3.00, 3.04, 3.01, 3.02 46, 3.06, and 3.12. The agent of the society for the prevention of cruelty to an imals caused the horse to be examined by a veterinary surgeon after the accomplish ment of the feat, with a view to the arrest of the owners arfti drivers, but the horse was pronounced uninjured. The Fire Fiend. The losses by fire throughout the United States during tbe month of August, just passed, amounted to §6,438,000. This iB a startling statement, The loss is nearly double that of August, 1868, and much ex ceeds the total of any month during the past or present year. The value of property destroyed by fire since January 1, 1869, al ready amounts to §27,100,000, while the total losses in 1868 were less than $35,000,- 000. The fire of August 5, in Philadelphia, when property valued at §4,000,000 was burned, was the most destructive one that has occurred in the country Bince July 4, 1866, when tbe city of Portland, Me., was devasted—the loss amounting to §10,000,000. A fire in Atlanta, Ga., on Saturday morn ing. destroyed six brick stores, and a large building known as the Norcross Corner. The loss is estimated at §lOO,OOO. GOOD NEWS JFBOfflt MAINE. Grant's Majority Bedtxced 20,000. Democratic Gain In tbe Legislature. Portland, Sept. 13.— The election was very quiet and the vote probably smaller than last year, but the strength of the par ties is relatively the same. The Temper ance ticket takes off less than ten per cent, of the Republican vote in places heard from, which will not be enongh to defeat an election by the people. Portland, Sept, 13.— The State election passed off very quietly and bat little inter est was felt. The vote was small, and the returns came in slowly* Fourteen towns give Chamberlain, 5,593 ; Smith, 3,174; Hitchborn, 661. Last year the same towns gave Chamberlain, 8661, and Pillsbory, 5,582. Bangor, Augusta, Belfast, Rockland and Lewiston all give reduced Republican majorities. Bidaeford’gives a Democratic majority: Augusta, Sept. 13—9 P.M.—Seventy-six cities and towns give Chamberlain 19,167; Bmith, 13,642 ; Hitchborn, 2,063. Chamber lain’s majority, 3,462. The same town last year gave Chamberlain, 31,933, and Pills bury, 21,317. This ratio, if maintained, sbows a total of 85,000, and Chamberlain’s election by 6,000 majority. Hitchborn’s vote will not exceed 6,000. Portland, Sept. 13— Midnight.—One hundred towns give Chamberlain, 23,732; Smith, 16,850, and Hitcbborn, 2,385. Last year these towns gave Chamberlain 37,076 und Pillsbury 26,401. Chamberlain’s ma jority this year is 4,497, against 10,672 in these towns over Pillsbury last year. This is almost half tbe State, and indicates a to tal vote of 88,000, of which Chamberlain should have 48,000. Smith 35,000 and Hitch born 5,000. So Chamberlain’s majority should be about 8,000 over all others, against 19,268 last year. Tbe total vote last year was 231,782. Tbe Republicans carried fif teen of the counties. This year they lose one or two more. The Democrats gain quite a number of members of the Legislature. Grant’s ma jority last year was 28,030; Democratic gain ou the popular vote 20,000. Chamber -1 ain’a majority last year was over 20,000. The Vermont Election, Burlington, Vt., September 8—1:20 A. M. —The canvass in Vermont has been one of the quietest known in many years, and the figures show rather more than the cus tomary reductions from tho high figures of the Presidential election. Returns from thirty-three towns.casting about one fourth of tho vote of the Slate, give Washburn, Republican, 6,601, and llealoD, Democrat, 2,162. The samo towns, last year gave Page, Republican, 0,932, and Kdwards, Democrat, 3,406. This is a reduction of 33 per cent, in the Republican vote, and neai iy 37 in.tbe|Democrtttic vote. General Wash burn, and the Republican State ticket is elected by 19,000 to 20,000 majority. The State Senate will be unanimously Repub lican. Wilmington City Election, Wilmington, Del. Sept. 7. —The contest for city officers to-day was warmly contest ed, but resulted in the re-election of Valen tino, Republican, for Mayor by fifty major ity. The Republicans also elected a major ity of the city ticket. The Democrats made large gains both in the popular majority anu in the councils. The Great Gale. While the miners of Avondale wore bringing out tho bodies of their comrades from the deadly pit on Wednesday even ing, a disaster of another kind, frightful in its nature but fortunately not so destruc tive of human life, was sweeping over our North Eastern shore. A storm of almost unexampled violence devastated a belt of country stretching from Connecticut to Maine, and' very probably its ravages at seu may have been worse than on laud,— We cannot tell the extent of the damage, for the telegraph wires were all prostrated und are not yet entirely repaired, and tho losses at sea may not be known for many days. In Providence a great number of buildiugs were thrown down or seriously dumaged, and a rising of tho river Hooded the houses in the lower part of the city, so that the inmates were removed from the windows in boats. Seven or eight persons are reported killed,and tho losses will prob ably amount to at least $2,01)0,060.- At Boston fortunately the tide was out and the harbor was not exposed to the full fury of the blast, so there was no flood.— Only one person was killed iu that city, though tho Boston newspapers speak of men being blown out of stable lofta, and whirled about the streets like so many dead loaves. Church steeples weie toppled over aud crashed through the buildings below them. Houses were unroofed, trees were torn up by the roots, cars were lifted from the track, a Methodist Church was entirely demolished, a normal school building Was destroyed, all the streets v/ere strewn with ruin, and in the harbor vessels were driven from their moorings and dashed against each other’s sides. The Common was shockingly disfigured, many of the finest trees being utterly ruined, while nearly all were stripped of their foliage. The frog pond was lashed into fury, and a limb was torn from the famous old elm, which any Bostonian weuld rather part with a leg than lose. We are gratified to learn that a police officer was promptly pluced on guard over the sacred fragment, to pro tect it from relic hunters. In this, how ever, he was not entirely successful, for all tho leaves und twigs were stolen, and at latest advices the officer was standing a bare branch. The worst disaster of all was the destruction of the Coliseum. At halt past six the east end gave way with a tre mendous crash, the west end followed,.and the monster roof was lifted off and blown into fragments. Tbe festival decorations which still draped the walls were destroy ed; the famous J übilee organ is a total loss; tbe big drum is no more. Almost every town in Eastern Massachusetts has suffer ed severe damage. The coast of Maine is littered with wrecks, and here there has been a sad loss of life though the full particulars are not yet known In Port land, the spires of the new Catholic ca thedral, dedicated that very day, was blown down, crushing a house, and the tents of the State Agricultural Fair, which had just opened, were swept away. The crops have no doubt suffered severely. In the neighborhood of Boston the orchards and vines in particular have been pretty nearly stripped, and we shall probably bear of similar losses all along tbe path of tbe storm as soon as communications are re established. All the wires leading out of Boston were prostrated, and the papers went to press yesterday morning without a line of telegraphic news from any quarter. Disasters indeed have been so vast this week that tbe mind can hardly realize them. Tbe mourning for Rawlins and I Fessenden is interrupted by the wails of j tbe Avoudale widows and tbe shriek of angry blasts before which stout buildings fall like houses of cards. In the face of these great catastrophes, the fire which broke out yesterday in Boston among the ruins, so to speak, of the gale, or the con llagration which has been raging for two weeks in the Dismal Swamp and has burnt over a district twenty miles in extent, seems too trilling to excite remark.— N. Y. Tri bune, The Good Templars’ Circular. 3 The Express, in referring to the Good Templars’ circular published iu the Exam iner of last week, speaks of it as “purport ing to have been issued by the Good Templars.” Now, we Bay that it was published by tbe Good Templars, and cir culated by them, and that the proprietors and hangers-on o£ both the Express and Father Abraham know it to be a genuine document. We defy either of them to deny it. If any one doubts it, they can see an original copy of it by calling at tho Exam iner office. It is contemplated to undertake to throw discredit on a document which is in tbe hands of the active Good Templars in the county. If they are ashamed of it, why not say so and repudiate it, aud not try to convince the public mini that it is a forgery, concocted for tbe purpose of injur ing inuoceut parties. Its publication was no “last card dodge,” but a truthful, ex isting official document, which, though in tended to circulate secretly by its authors, was deemed of sufficient importance to justify its publication. So much for that branch of the subject. But we ure authorized by Messrs. Bil ljngfelt and Warfel to say that they are not pledged to the prohibitory liquor law, nor were they asked to pledge themselves This involves another grave question of honor and truth. Will Messrs. Bush and Allen give the desired information? Who pledged them at the meeting of the Execu tive Committee at Lancaster, August 23rd, as “sound on the temperance question?” This is a matter which honest Good Tem plars should investigate. Have they been made tools of by some designing political rascal who has crept into their iold? The circular says they are pledged for a pro hibitory liquor law. They deny that they have given such a pledge or that they were asked for one. Who then, is the authority for tho Executive Committee saying that they are pledged? We believe Messrs. Billingfelt and Warfel when they say they have given no pledges, and ask for them the cordial support of every Republican. Wo have no desire to lose one vote for any candidate on the ticket, but we were deter mined to “smokeout” this dodge, by which the temperance vote was concentrated on certain candidates. If the Good Templars are a political party, let them take the field openly, proclaim their principles and can didates, and not try to sneak them in on secret pledges, thereby hoping to foist ob noxious laws on the people, against their wisheß or consent.— Examiner, A New “King.” The temperance or “Good Templars’” ring is the newest ring run by the Express and the Ishmaelites of Father Abraham , in the last contest for nomination.

The Effects of the Drouth.— ln a recent trip through ajlarge portion ot the southern part of onr county we noticed that the late dry weather has had qnite an effect upon vegetation in the country. The corn crop now promises only an average yield, where, had it had the usual quantity of rain incident to the season, the yield mast have been very great Where tbe soil is thin and poor the corn is very short, and presents a yellow withered appearance; where the ground is rich aDd has been ploughed deep and well the stalks are quite tall, and have upon them tolerably large, well-formed ears. The grass is very short, and its nutritious juices have been in a great measure ex hausted by the hot sun. The stock cattie are not in as good condition as usual, and but few of them are ready for the city mar kets. Farmers say that their cows give a very poor quality of milk, and not nearly so much in quantity as they are accustomed to give in more favorable seasons. Ifa good rain is not soon forthcoming tb( early frosts of Autumn will prevent the grass from re cuperating, even if wet weather be had, and the result will be that farmers must com mence feeding their stock hay and straw much earlier than is customary. The yield of apples and peaches'is nn- U: isuwlly large. The orchards are full of well formed fruit which only await the mellowing influence of the beautiful In dian summer to render it as delightful to the taste as it now is to the sight. The cider presses are already busy and the hos pitable farmers place before their guest the capacious stone-pitcher brimming full of tbo delicious “juice of apples.” A disagreeable feature of travel along our country roads is the presence of the dust one of the results of the dry weather which is painfully apparent and which is felt and seen everywhere. Clouds of dust ac company every vehicle and denote its ap proach, while it is yet at quite a distance. In some localities the dust covers the ground to tne depth of at least four inches, and seems to possess all the drifting quali ties of snow ; huge bodies of it being caught up by currents of air and impelled forward to the great discomfort of all those who are unfortunate enough to be involved in them as they whirl along the highway. An Octocjenarian. —An old patriarch aged 87 years, named Josiah Reynolds, of Little Britain township, was in town yes terday, and he tells us he was never so far from home before. He has lived all his life within two rods of where he was born. He helped to grub the first acre of ground tilled in Little Britain twp. There were no plows then, and he was well up in years before be ever saw a wagon. When 31 years old he married, and his wife is still living. Ho was a great fox hunter in his time, and says he would to day father hear the yelping of a pack of hounds than any other music. He has worked at farraing-'all his life, but concluded last harvest to quit hard work and employ himself by tending the cattle. Was never uear a train of cars until to-day, and wondered what it was that pulled them, and why the locomotive putted so. He came to town to look after some business in the Recorder’aottice. He is in good health, aqd bids fair to complete his century. An Aged Citizen Gone !—John Royer, an aged aDd estimable citizen of Leacock township, this county, died at his residence near Intercourse on Thursday last, and his remains were interred at Intercourse on Sunday, being attended to the burial place by one of the largest funeral proces sions ever known in that section of the county. He was a ‘faithful and sound Democrat, and was respected by all who knew him. His age was 72 years, 7 months and 9 days. He was a subscriber to the Intelligencer for many years, and dur ing bis life manifested u pleasure in spread ing Democratic truth among his neighbors and friends. Heavt Emigration. —A truih of fifteen passenger cars, containing from 800 to 1000 emigrants—men, women and children— passed through this city on Friday about 7 o’clock. Oyer four hundred of them were Mormons, on their way to Salt Lake City to join the cohorts of Brigham Young. Their arrival at New York was noticed in the Tribune. About one-half of this batch of new converts were women, and 129 chil dren under eight years of age. They were nntives of England, Wales, Switzer land, Sweden. Denmark and Germany. Besides the President of the company there were nine missionaries accom panying the pilgrims when they ar rived at New York. The Tribune says they seemed to be pleased with the progress of their journey so far, and hopeful of their future. The rest of the large lot of emi grants in the train comprised the usual mixture of nationalities which is so steadily flowing Westward across our Continent. Republican Morals.— David Bender, late dt feated candidate for Clerk of Orphans Court, has brought suit against Amos F Sweigart, late defeated candidate for Clerk of Orphans’ Court, for issuing a circular in the name of Bender, withdrawing his name as a candidate in favor of Sweigart. Bender believes he could easily have defeated a crippled soldier, and received the nomina tion, had it not been for th* forgery of Sweigart. CIIANOES AT THE COUNTY PRISON.—At the monthly meeting of tbe Board of Prison Inspectors, held on Monday last, the fol lowing changes in some of tbe officers of that institution were made : Lewis Murr, second underkeeper and superintendent of weaving, was removed, and Rudolph Christ appointed in his place; W. H. H. Miller, first night watchman, was removed, and George B. Mowry, second night watchmaD. promoted to the place; and John Powell appointed second watchman in place of Mr. Mowery. Sudden Death. —Mr. Michael Zercher, Inn keeper, of Stumptown, this county, fell dead in front of his house on Saturday, about 5 o’clock. He was in this city, yes terday, in apparently good health. Heart disease is supposed to have caused his death. Biooest Peaches of the Season.— Mr. John Sigle, one of our subscribers, residing in Upper Leocock twp., brought to us a small basket of very large peaches to-day. The largest weighed over nine ounces and the others nearly as much. They are yellow free-stones, of most delicious quality. The tree had nearly three bushels on it. Mr. Sigle did not know that they bad any dis tinguishing |title. He calls them Packer peaches, aud they are worthy of the name. Robbers Arrested. Officer Samuel Bowman.ofSalisbury,township, on Satur day, brought to the city and. lodged in jail, a negro named William H. Green, on a charge of robbing Agnus Black, of Salisbu ry twp., of clothing, jewelry, &c. The same officer also lodged in jail a ne gro named John Thomas, for roobing on the highway a boy whom John Newhaus er had sent to the store of Mr. Geo. Differ, at the Gap, to receive §5O. The negro learn ing the boy’s errand, laid in wait, and rob bed him of the money. Broken Into. —The spring -house of Mr, William T. Boyd, residing near Fairfield, Drumore twp., was broken into last Friday night, and ten hams, four shoulders and two pieces of dried beef stolen therefrom. No clue to the thieves has yet been ob tained. The value of the pork stolen is about §6O as the hams were unusually large fine pieces. LANCASTER, PENN’A., \ August 23, 1869. i JAME 3 BLACK. ESQ., agent Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. Dear Sir; It affords me much pleasure to acknowledge the receipt through you of the sum of 94,000, the amount of Policy, No. 84,400, held by the late Kev. W. V. GOTWALD In tbe Mutual Life Insurance Co. of New York. Allow me also to add that the circumstances connected with this case have, to my mind at least, furnished a striking illustration of the value of Life Insurance as a means of provid ing the comforts of life to those near and dear dependent ones, who are left utterly helpless unless a provision of this kind is made for them. It also affords a solemn lesson on the uncertainty of the duration of life. Rev. Mr. Gotwald had his life Insured In July, 1868, ata time when he was 32 years old, in good health, and bid fair to enjoy a long life; bathe died in June, 1869, In less than a year from the date of his policy, leaving an aged mother dependent on others for support. The amount you paid me ($4,000) will be paid over to her at once, and will secare a competency for her declining years. The Investment Rev. Gotwald thus made has proved a very profitable one. His policy was made on the Ten Year Life Plan Premium, payable quarterly. He had made four pay ments of $51.98 each, amounting in all to $207.84. In return for this expenditure the mother re ceived $4,000. Respectfully Yours, G. M. ZAHM, Administrator of Rev. W. V. Gotwald. au3l 4teod*3tw With Dyspeptics everything Is wrong.

New life, strength and energy will take possession or you.

Beamer called on Mr- James Coleman, residing below Altoona, and explaining to him the advantage and import ance of Life Insurance, obtained his applica tion for $5OOO, In the World Mutual Life Insur ance Company, of New York. Hr was then amongst onr strongest and heartiest men,wlth every prospect of a long life of usefulness batore him. He was f 5 years of age, and paid an an nual premium of $257.75, Last April, whilst on the roof of his barn making some repairs, be fell from the same and broke his leg up at the thigh, an accident which might happen to ofir most careful and healthy citizens. He linger ed on In pain and misery until nis death, in July last. Mr. Beamer attended at once to making outfall the necessary pipers of proof of death, and last week had the sa'isfactlon of handing to Messrs. James Louden and Thomas Coleman, his administrators, a draft on New York for the amount of insurance. Such a striking illustration of the importance and value of Life Insurance will do more than hours of t-aik to convince any man that It is his duty to take out a policy according to his means, for the benefit of bis survivors; and In connection, we call especial attention to the World Mutual Life, and to our fellow-towns man, Mr. I. F. Beamer, who Is Its agent for this county. Do notdelay—at once Insure, and you will never regret it. We extract the above from the Democratic Standard, of Holldaysburg, and would add our endorsement of the above counsel: “DO NOT DELAY—AT ONCE INSURE!” and state that ma.t. j, F.FRUEAUFF,of this city, lstheGen eral Agent for the WORLD MUTUAL LIEE and will be glad to see all of our patrons at his Ofilce.tomake Inquiries, and to insure. By the Insurance Commissioners’ Report, of New York, for this year, the proportions of Aase's to the amount Insured, and'of Actual Realized Cash Assets to Total Assets of this Company, are better and higher than any Company of Its age, and also surpasses many much t older companies. It is salely and carefully man aged and merits confidence and support. Sept. 7.—T T6d.4 3tw. A Farm for Five Dollars.—John L.
