The Lumber Trade.
The tenor of our advices from Phila
delphia, through persons largely interest
ed iu the traffic in lumber, and intelli
gent and discriminating in all that re
lates thereto, leads us to conclude that
the prospects for prices remunerating to
the lumbermen is better thamit was two
or three months ago, though still involved
in doubt and dependent upon contingen-
cies.
Taking "both town? and country into
account, it seems to bo conceded that
there will be as much if not more, build
ing the present year than in any previ
ous one. In towns there may be less;
in the country there will bo more. The.
farmers have had several prosperous
years in succession, with a contiuuancc
of high prices for all their product.-; and,
beiug prosperous, are jn a condition to
supply themselves with improved dwell
ings and barns.
The stocks of lumber in the hands of
the dealers arc large; and the opinion is
prevalent among lumbermen that prices
will inevitably be low. What the actual
range of prices will be will depend very
much on the order of the spring freshets,
aud the character of the men first in mar
ket with raft?.
'IMf Innirir flin Href, frr
i off, the better, wo think, it will be for the
j lumbermen, provided its continuance be
mioh. i u &u;m hoi coinv uu i;uc, auu
shall then hold long, most of the lumber
will arrive in market simultaneously, aud
unity of action ou thc part of purchasers,
with vasciuation and doubt on the part ot
many lumucnncn, win estaoiisn iow rates.
So, if the first freshet shall come soon,
and those first getting to market with
lumber are necessitous and timid, low
rates will be likely to be established and
to prevail through tho season. While if
those who first arrive are so circumstan
ced as to be able to hold on, and have
the decision and firmness requisite to do
so; lat spring's prices may bo realized, or
nearly approximated.
Larae ash logs and w harf timber will
be perhaps iu better dmiand than any
other descriptions of lumber.
Our information from the uDrjcr Dela
ware leads us to conclude that while the!
number of logs banked for rafting is
greater than it was last rear, thc average
j size of tbe logs is less, and consequently
that there is not an increase, but a falling
off. in the bulb in preparation for market.
Of sawed stuff we think the quantity b
decidedlj less than it was a year ago; at
least iu this county.
We trust that events will so fall out
that the lumber will bring fair prices; but,
as we have already said, much depends
upon the order of the freshets and thc
sort of men who first get to market.

Death from Hydrophobia.
From thc Dayton (Ohio) Gazette.
About thirty years ago, Mr. A. Rogers,
of Franklin, Ohio, was bitten by a mad
dog, and was placed in utter darkness, un
der medical treatment, for the space of
thirty days, and apparently recovered
from the effects of the bite : thouch at ir
regular intervals since that time he has

remarked to his wife that he never felt
such a pain in his life. It seemed to
thrill his system like an electric shock.
Nothing further, however occurred at
that time, escept a very severe headache,
aud a slight nervous fever. Thn snmr
dog was known to have bitten several hogs,
but not until the hogs became rabid, which
was several weeks after, was the dog sup
posed to have been mad. When Mr.
Rogersbecame acquainted with these facts,
he at once felt that in his peculiar situa
tion, with the virus of a former bite in his
system, UU case was a hopeless one, and
immediately set about closing up his bus

lie ate but little breakfast, and in a
short time went to bed. About twelve
o'clock on Friday night he was seized
with a most fearful spasm, which lasted
for some time. After the spasm passed
off he became quite calm aud conversed
almost incessantly, and assured his
fncuus that he would not harm thern in
any way. His nest spasm was on Satur

Frightful Accident-Eight PersonB killed--Great
loss of Property Total Destruc
tion of a Glass Factory.
The gale of wind which prevailed be
tween nine and ten o'clock on Sunday mor
ning, Which passed over this city, ragod
with great violence a few miles up the'river.
Tree and fences were in some instances
blown down, and at thc town of Progress,
at the mouth of thc Rancocas Creek, a
bout ten miles above Camden, a large and
extensive glass manufactory, belonging to
Mr. Julius Kelter, a frenchman, was torn
down, nnd upwards of twenty persons
buried beneath thc ruins. The alarm
was immediately given, and all thc resi
dents of that place, numbering from two
to three hundred persons, proceeded at
once to rescue tho dead and wounded
from the ruins. Up to two o'clock, we
learn, it had been ascertained that eight
persons were instantly killed, and several
others were seriously if not fatally injured.
The building was located at the corner
of Taylor and Kossuth streets, and was
constructed of brick, with 18-inch walls,
in thc most substantial munncr. It occu
cupicd a space of 125 feet long, '60 feet
high and 42 feet wide; being covered with
a slate roof, supported by heavy rafters.
The loss by the destruction of thc building
will probably exceed SI 8,000, including
a considerable quantity of manufactured
goods, and all the tools used by thc work-
men
This manufactory has been in operation
about eight weeks, and has thus far turned
out nothing but hollow glass ware. On
ly a single furnace was in operation, al
though extensive arrangements had been
made for working several other furnaces.
By this accident about twenty-five persons
will be thrown out of employment. We
regret to learn that Sir. Samuel Betchtold
of this city, is a loser to the amount of
2.500. The tuilding, we are informed,
is a total wreck, having been crushed to
the ground by thc force of tho wind.
A gentleman, who was in thc vicinity
at the time thc accident occurred, states
that tho front doors of the building were
open, which no doubt caused the accident,
as the wind was enabled to sweep through
the building with the greatest violence.
We were unable to learn the names of
thc persons killed, or those wouuded, in
consequence ot the non-arrival of the train
due here at 6i o'clock, last evening. It
was reported, however, that Richard Pal
mer, a lad 14 years of age, a son of Al
derman Palmer, residing in Eleventh
street, above Franklin, was among thc
killed- Ue was taken to Mr. Bechtold's
house. He had visited the nlace a few
weeks ago for tho purpose of recruiting

manufacture of slasswarc. solicited the
proprietors to take himiuto their employ.

The Russians have greatly strengthened
