THE CIGAR. Tonne.—The Norristown
Herald says (Meng 1871 lii /limed E. Nyce's Di

BUSINESS IS DULL in Allentown, as will he
seen by the following conversation whlcir.took
place last week :
Bow's business 7"
Awful dull."
Isn't January always a dull month ?'
" Oh, yes."
" Flew does your trade compare with that of the
same mouth last year 7"
" Well—oh, well—suppose It's a little better."
"flow much Is your Increase—a hundred dol.
tars 7"
" Oh, yes—we sold nearly a thousand dollars
more this January than last."
We left the gentleman, Inwardly pitying him
for being the victim of such awful dull trade. It's
a shame how some men suffer. They ought to do
as much trade In January as In October and then
we would not hear so much of dull times. Why
can't it be so 7
SMALL-Pox.—Sarah Reichard, who Is a
sister of Mrs. flittle, residing In the northern
wing of the Academy, recently went t.o Easton.
She returned home lost week and has been com

went to Dr. Romig, Thursday, for advice, nod he
Informed her that shelled the small-pox. Efforts
were made to get Mr. little to have her removed
somewhere else, but Mr. 11. wasn't In love With
♦he disease and he departed himself.
The school which Is held In the Academy build
ing has been dismissed, in consequence, and will
not be held there again until the disease entirely
disappears, althhugh the wing in which . is the
small-pox case Is widely separated from the scho:d
room. The ease, we understand, is not a very vir
ulent one. We entertain no fears of the spread
of the disease, us vaccination has been so gener
ally resorted to. •

forded the citizens of Ilentown one of the rarest
musical treats they have ever had. Ole Bull's
mastership of the violin In truly wonderful, and
under his bow that Instrument is made to perform
the parts of other instruments and of a combina
tion of instruments. Everybody was charmed
with the performance of the great master and,
notwithstanding all that has been said and writ
ten of his accomplishments, there was scarcely
any one present hat who was filled with mingled
Inflect' of surprise and admiration. Those who
accompany him to give variety and complete.
ness to the concert are , accomplished artists.

ments and Mr. Candidus, the tenor, left a very
favorable Impression behind him, while Mr. Rich

. FARMING ON SIIARES.-A few years ago
there Hired in Providence, a droll, thriftless fel
low named Bates, whom everybody knew as a
Jack of all trades and masterof none. A bevy of
children, clamoring for food or clothing, kept him
eo occupied in supplying their Immediate wants
that be made no headway In a village where he
had almost exhausted the patience of three or four
liberal citizens who had given him assistance for
years. At length he removed his family on the
West branch of the Northumberland, where an
old well-to-do farmer had offered him a worn-out
farm to work ou shares. Being uo better at farm
ing than at carpentering, his crops, owing to the
drouth he claimed, failed to yield him a remuner
ating harvest. The landlord, slaw in his de
-mends, awaited in vain for his third. As be
walked in the livid one afternoon, when nothing
was left but the bare stubble, as farmer Bates had
Just loaded his'last bag of buckwheat on a w igon,
he ventured to ask, "Mr. Bates where is my third

prolonged provoking drawl, " Yorsi• part didn't

Dlt. MORRIS BERNEIARDT, the celebrated
Optician and Oculist, whose professional visits to
all parts of the United States have been so sue
eessful, has arrived In our city, and taken rooms
,it the American Hotel, wheie those needing them
can avail themselves of his services. The follow
ing complimentary notice of Dr. B. we copy from
the Lynchburg (Va.) Republican :
A VISIT TO Dlt. BEIINIIAIIIIT.—Ws called yester
day 'at the Norveel House, upon Dr. Morris Bern
hardt, the fatuous oculist and optician, of Berlin,
and were greatly surprised at the extent of his
business and thb enormous atnouut of optical In
struments and glasses comprising his stock. We
are wholly incompetent to the task of describing
the various Ingeniously constructed instruments
for manufacturing glasses, adapted to any. condi
tion of the human eye, or the secret of that uner
ring power by which he is able, almost instanta
neously, to select the characterof glasses required
in any given case.
The glass from which his spectacles are made Is
the most transparent and beautiful we have ever
seen, and is In rough boulders weighing several
pounds. These lumps of glass are of every shape
and color. The Brazilian pebble, of which Dr.
Beruhardt.is sole proprietor in this country, and
the most valuable article used, Is made by grind
ing up the particles of the finest and most trans
parent qualities of glasti; and is so hard that it
will cut ordinary glass almost as easily as a die.
tnond. "Dr. Bernhardt makes these most expen
sive glasses with his own hands, having all the
appliances for the business in his room, including
the mulles, and prettiest steam engine In this
country, which occupies a place on a table,and is
Indeed a neat parlor ornament. This engine was
manufactured in Philadelphia expressly for the
Doctor, and after a model of his own construction.
We should be pleased to describe the instru
ments with which he measures the glasses, and
ascertains their adaptability to his patients, but
are convinced we could give at best but a very in
adequate idea of them. The extent of his busi
ness may be better understood when It Is consid
ered that the stock of material now on hated at his
office Is valued at more than ten thousand dollars.
It is not wonderful that Dr. Bernhardt has made
a great reputation as an oculist and optician, for
his proficiency in the art may be said to descend to
'him as an Inheritance. For more than a hundred
years -a member of the Bernhardt family has been
recognized by the crowned heads of Prussia as the
great master of optical science—first, the great
grandfather of the present Doctor, who establish
ed an optical institute lu Berlin, which has de
scended in a regular lino down to the present rep
meet:Wive of the family, having been successively
held and presided over by his grandfather and
father, and more recently by the Doctor himself,
and now by his brothers.
For the last fourteen yeti's Dr. Bernhardt has
resided chiefly In the United States, and now has
a regular office in New York. lie has traveled
extensively North and South, and though yet a
young man, being about thirty-five years of ago,
has established a repetition second to that of no
other gentleman of his prolession,either In Europe
or America.

BERM COUNTY RAILROAD.—The engineers

very joyous over the promised early completion

the value of their real estate and the extent of their

Terrible Railroad Accident
A Train Smashed Near Rockport.
A BROKEN RAIL TIIE CAUSE
Five Killed and Twenty Woni►ded
Thursday morning a sad accident occurred on
the Lehigh Valley Railroad, to the down train
duo here at 11:55, near Rockport, oboist fifteen
miles above Mauch Chunk. Soon after leaving
Mud Run, while the train was running at full
speed, a straight rail broke In 'lvo under the third
car, which broke Its coupling dashing down over
the embankment, a height of twenty-live feet,and
dragging the rear ear with it. According to the
report of the News the first ear glided half Way
across the river without breaking through the ice,
and the second, which was a complete wreck, lay
demolished at the foot of the embankment. The
passengers were removed from the first of the two
cars, and soon flames broke not and consumed it.
It was an elegant car with all the modern im
provements, heated by Baker's patent heater,
which bad heretofore been supposed to be perfectly
safe in case of necident, and It was owned by the
North Penn. Company. The car that was wreck
ed belonged to the Jersey Central, and Its demo
lition proved that it had not been built so substan-
tinily and with the same regard for the safety of
the passengers us the North : Penn. car.
Those who escaped uninjured quickly hastened
to the assistance of the victims of the disaster.
Besides the suffering from wounds, the cold was
so Intense that the agonies of the wounded were
doubled by exposure to the winter air. The sight
was one of horror and suffering.
The New York Herald has the following ac
count:-When midway between Mud Run and
Rockport, and sixty-four miles from Easton, at
forty minutes past nine o'clock,
TILE ENGINE MADE A SUDDEN LEAP,
the forewheels flew round, causing a horrible
whirl, and the driver and fireman were so severely
shaken that they could scarcely hold on to enable
them. to stop the locomotive. The levers were
reversed and the steam shut Was speedily as pos
eljle, and the terror-stricken men were at once
convinced that a fearful accident had occurred,
that the terrltlc leap of their great foaming Iron
horse had saved them from the horrible fate al
lotted to many being drawn by IL Leaning over
the side of the engine
I=l
met the driver's eye, the only support between toe
road and Lehigh itiver,heing a hard flint embank
ment, almost perpendicular lu construction. He
Raw the half of the train leap from the track, and
u uu Instant plunge as It were headlong
DOWN THE FLINTY WALL TOWARD VIE RIVER
below. He saw the Central car, which contained
most of the passengers, with the end of the broken
coupling swinging In front of it, like a runaway
horse with the end of a bridle about its neck ; he
saw the earth fly up in a thousand directions be
neath its ponderous weight, a low,rumbling sound
caught his car, and the carriage, with RS live
freight, went tumbling and crushing over the
" mountain," as the declivity is called. The next
instaut he heard the
=I
of the car, and heads and arms were thrust out at
the windows, and every tongue seems to be send
ing forth accents of anguish and dismay. ‘Voinkn
and men and seats, cushions and debris were soon
a horrible heap ; but, to add to the horrors of the
situation, before any assistance could be rendered
smoke and name were seen emerging from one part
of the smashed-up vehicle, and it was feared that
those who were not killed or injured by the fall
and the crushing of the timbers would be burned
to death.
The first thing to be done was to rush to the us
sistance of those in the central car. The engineer,
fireman, a conductor and two or three from the
smoking car clambered down the embankment,
and, amid the screams of the women,
I=
and yells of those who were lying beneath the
debris In great agony, barely out of the Jaws 'of
death—these men set le work, and, in about fifteen
minutes, were ablelo sum up the result of thin
appalling accident.
I=
The first body taken out from the fore part of
the car was a colored gentleman whom features
were almost destroyed,the face and forehead being
crushed up, and who was dressed In a black
coat and striped pants. Though warm he was
quite dead. The feet of a colored woman were
next seen extending from beneath a part of the
car that was still burning. In a few seconds the
broken charred timber was removed and the dead
body of a full grown person was exposed. Near
this bot,S7 waa that of another colored female,
daughter of the first mentioned, slightly built and
about thirteen years of age. It was observed that,
In addition :o the young girl, the colored woman
had also
AN INCANT CARRYING IN lIER ARMS
When she entered the train, and a search was at
once instituted for It. About eight feet off the
tic creature Ives found with Its body curled up and
crying out lustily for its dead mother. With the
exception of two or three bruises, occasioned by
Its fall and subsequent struggling on the lee,. the
child had received no injuries of any moment.
While several of the crowd were engaged with
the child
E=l
were drawn out; both well dressed, and of appar
ently respectable hirtb,butureatly d.sll3ured about
the bead and neck by the severity of the wounds
that had caused their death.
All were now lu n state of great exeltem nt, and
,a the flee dead bodies were taken up and stretched
aide by side on the snow, each being soon soaking
in the blood that was flowing from the open gashes
,nd horrible bruises, a wilt, indescribable picture
was presented. Those who were not hurt were
milking hither and thither In the

were placed, and In a short time about twenty per.

have broken limbs, and it was evident that several,
from the nature of their wounds, could not long

ALLENTOWN BOARD OF TRADE
ANNUAL REPORT
7b th, B011..0: -111 111:11111f of the
EXceIILIV., (201111ilItL.L, IL lILTOIIICI3 my duty AB Bee
retary to icy before Band the Association a report
of the proceedings of the yearlB7l. Owing to the
short time Intervening since the organization of
the Board, it will lint be expected that matters of
Importance emit(' h set been Investigated and acted
upon by the Executive Committee, or by any of the
Standing Committees, In such a way no to eulinl
nate In valuable and reliable reports. It is ex
pected that by the close of the present year full
statements of the manufaeturing'and mercantile
Industries of Allentown will be obtained, and that
much progress will be made by this Association In
the work of stimulating every legitimate home en
terprise. With this our first annual report, we will
make no attempt at defining the extent and con
dition of the varied departments of Allentown
manufactures and trade, but simply give a concise
statement of the actual proceedings up to the pres
ent date.
I=
The conviction which had been entertained by
many of our most thoughtful business men that
an agency of some kind, general In Its character,
for the oversight and promotion of the trade and
commerce of Allentown, first found full and
definite utterance at a meeting held June ii, 1871.
The call for this meeting was made by Messrs. C.
W. Cooper and IL Leh, Jr., and answered by citi
zens representing the trade, finance, manufacture
and merchants of Allentown. That such an agency
as was then proposed was Imperatively demanded
by various circumstances, no one questioned ; and
reference to the precise objects for which It
should be brought into ekistence, there was nodlf
fercnce of opinion. The resolution which organ
ized the Association was made by C. W. Cooper,
Esq., and reads as follows :
Resolved, That in view of the necessity of union
hi action on subjects relating to trade and com
merce, we form au Association In the city of Allen
town to be called the Allentown Ifbard of Trade,
the general ohJects of which shall be to proinote
the trade of the city, to give proper direction to all
commercial movements, to extend the facilities of
transportation, and generally to take all proper
measures for advancing the interests and promot
ing the commercial integrity of the mercantile com
in e n ity.
At the first meeting a committee on permanent
organization was appointed to prepare a Constitu
tion and By-Latis and presentnominees for officers
and the Executive Committee. The printed Con
stitution and By-Laws are In" the hands of the
members and therein will be found a list of the
officers, Executfve and Standing Committees ap
pointed to serve for the balance of the year 1871.
=6
At the second mesthg,, held June 10th, a Com
mittee on Membership was appointed to solicit the
cooperation of merchants, manufacturers, fi
nanciers, &e., in advancing the interests of the or
ganization. Mainly by the eftwts of this commit
tee 110 members have been elected, but of this
number not all have come for.v t urd to sign the
Constitution and pay the required admieblon fee
and annual dues.
ER=
The premises occupied by the Board thus far
have been the same as now held. The first meet
ings convened In Room No. 6, at present occupied
ns u Reading Room and Exchange. More space
being deslreable, arrangements were made which
under one rental,permits the holding of the month
ly and quarterly meetings in the room now occu
pied on the third door of Mr. Lob's building, and
the constant occupation of room No. 6.
I=
A number of projects, relating to the interests
of our city,have had the attention of the Executive
Committee, and threfugh it have' been brought to
the cmcideration of the Board ; among these the
following have been acted upon :
1. The establishment of a Reading Room and
Exchange for the benefit and convenience of the
members of the Association. The list of subscrip
tion fur papers Include the N. Y. Journal of Com
merce, Shoe and Leather Reporter, The North
American Review, The S. Mining and Railroad
Journal, The American Agriculturist, Scientific
American, The Iron Age, and the Allentown daily
papers. The room is open from 9 A. M.. to 9P.
M. daily, except Sundays and national holidays.
Provision Is made for lighting and warming, and
supplies of writing paper are:kept on hand for cor
respondence. It is to be hoped that this room will
become one of general resort and exchange by the
members of the Board for whose benefit and con
venience it has been established.
2. The Committee on Statistics prepared and
have distributed among the lending manufactur
ing and business houses of the city, a blank dr
cular, to obtain complete statistics of the standing
trade of Allentown. As these statistics will give
desired Information, which will allow deductions,
and give shupo to future operations, it is hoped
that selfishness and Jealousy will not hinder the
handing in of these reports.
31. Attention was given to a new form of pave
ment, called "The Vulcanite." To Investigate
the merits of this pavement a committee was ap
pointed. Title committee visited Philadelphia and
handed In a report highly satisfactory and which
can he referred to on tile.
4th. The Committee on Transportation received
Instructions to net upon the numerous suggeJtions
concerning exorbitant rates Of freight imposed
upon Allentown manufacturers and dealers. What
the final result of such action may be can not now
be foretold, but it is believed that repeated effort
in the right direction may bring about the much
desired relief.
5. The attention of the Committee on Manufac
tures was directed to the necessity of increased fa
cilities for all classes Of manufacturing interests.
Special references were made to such manufac
tures as would give facilities for varied labor now
unemployed.
6. The ExecutiveCommfitee appointed a special
committee on Railroads, with Instructions to in
quire into the tendencies of roads now building
toward drawing trade away from Allentown. This
committee was also instructed to consider the ad
vantages to be derived by the construction of a
narrow garage railroad through the upper portions
of the county.
7. A Committee on Lectures has been appointed
to mace provisions for one or more lectures on
Political Economy. The young men of Allentown
engaged in business are to be especially benefited
by such lecture or lectures, and so as to leave the
door open for all, sold lectures are to he free.
S. The best work of the Board—one which saved
the credit of Allentown and which In itself has re
paid the efforts of a half year's co•operatlon—was
[tweak!!! taken In making good the promised con
tribution by the City Councils 01 $3,000 to the Chi.
sago sufferers. 'She draft, according to lustruc
-1.10118 given to the Mayor of Chicago, had been
presented and was to have been returned unpaid.
Your committee—fortunately In session at the
right time,—hold the honor of Allentown too dear
to permit her promises and obligations to go by
default, and therefore took that prompt action
which secured the draft and with it the honor of
our business men. A committee waited upon the
officers of the bank holding the draft and secured
a delay of twenty-four hours, while a second com
mittee was !appointed to receive the required sub
scription in city bonds to enable the City Treas
urer to carry out the instructions given by the City
Council. This committee on the spot and with the
Executive Committee present raised subscriptions
to the amount of $lBOO, and on the following day
increased the sum to $5700.
0. By the action of the Executive Committee,
Council was petitioned to appoint a Board of
Health, on the ground that the population of the
city has rapidly increased In the past few years,
and is still increasing to such an extent, as to
render the existence of a Board of Health not only
proper but necessary.
10. Last and not least, your committee have In
existence a 'special committee to investigate the
cost of side walks over the Jordan Bridge. The
fact that so soon after the appointment of said
committee the Grand Jury took action in the mat
ter may not be without its meaning.
The thanks of this Board Is due to the press of
Allentown for their generosity In giving publicity
to our meetings uud their proceedings ; also to
the Philadelphia Board of Trade, Chamber of
Commerce of New York, Boston Board of Trade,
and National Board of Trade, In consideration of
their friendly notices nod contribution of pamph

Yesterday there was a slight excitement, owing
to a the at Shimer's Mill, a short distance up the
Monocacy. The "sprite" was out and the half
grown boys who are always Jolly at fires were
there, too. It was rumored that the mill add

By the ways what do the people say In regard to
the proposed convention of orthodoxy about to con
vene in Cincinnati to Introduce a rellg lons tenet
Into the Constitution of the ?Jolted States ? I think
that would virtually, If enforced, change the whole
theory of our government. What would become
of the Jews I They would be outlaws I Free
thinkers, like some of the early fathers of our
country were, would be dogs. The framers of our
Constitution had their oyes fully open. The per
secutions for religious opinions of the post m iddle
ages, aro shocking, and the least we know of
bigoted Intoleration In our National polity will bo
the best. Let our Constitution remain a civil doc
ument, granting full freedom to all opin lops on
religious points, but not tyrannize over any one's
religious opinion, be he the most bigoted and faq
atical religious enthusiast, or the most philosoph
ical Atheist. This government was formed to In
sure the greatest possible happiness to all people;
and such It ought to remain.
This evening an entertainment was held by the
pupils of room No. 2, Franklin School, consisting
of dialogues and recitations, and a lecture on the
subject of " Water," by the teacher, Mr. Bonier.
The pupils acquitted themselves creditably, but
some pieces were not sufficiently committed to
avoid prompting. Tho lecture was able, but
scarcely well enough. delivered for an audience
used to first-class lecturers, such an the peopie in
this borough have frequent opportunities of hear
ing. We do, however, think that, upon due pre
paration, the pupils of that school can excel the
last performance, and earnestly hope to see the
same repeated by the pupils of the higher grade.
