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

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

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

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

Wilmington City Election,
Wilmington, Del. Sept. 7. —The contest
for city officers to-day was warmly contest

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

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. It was a
nice little “set up,” and both papers played
their parts very well. They hallooed
“ring,” “ring,” so lustily that they kept
suspicion away from their own secret set
up.— Examiner.

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.

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.

Advantages of Lax Iksubanck.—ln De
cember last, Mr. I. F. 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.
