OnlarnfirmotcAr..—lt may not be generally
known that Mr. D. 11. Kline, of Copley, has cap
tured a most magnificent specimen of the bird
commonly known as the loon or great northern
diver. Upon analysis It 'was ascertained that It
was no less than a royal specimen of the Columbus
lot quotes or the Columbus glacialis of the Liunuen
system. It wan a f.. 11 grown specimen, and Its
plumage exhibited all the brilliant colors and chtir
averlatles for which the specie Is noted—the dark
blue green and glossed purple of the head and
neck i the longitudinal and transverse stripes of
the throat and back; them' owy whiteof the under
surface, and the greyish blue of the tarsi, etc.
They are a plentiful bird du ring the summer sea-.
son In high northern latitudes and on inland lakes.
They are solitary In their ha bits, keen sighted ;
their flight Is strong, rapid and direct, nod difficult
to approach. It is needless to say that It takes au
excellent marksman to be able to take them. But
our friend K. was most too sure, as the head of the
bird was too much damaged to b ave it stuffed and
prepared for preservation. Mr: Kline also shot
fur ham ks during the pastw Inter,all or the specks
known as Buleo borealis, the most abundant kind
In this section of the ,ountry. Ho was also Lam
nate enough some time ago to capture four wild
ducks, of which no analysle•was t nude and cense

PROFITS Or LECTURE COORIPCS. —Except In
large cities, whore the population is so numerous
and varied that anutudience can generally be ob—
tained for nny respectable lecturer, the profits
secured by committees or associations who get up
courses of lectures are usually v ory small. We
dud In a West Chester paper a statement of the
financial results of a course of five lectures given
lu that town during the last winter. Beason
tickets were sold to the amount or $470, and the
receipts at the door were $349 80, snaking the total
receipts for the ccr.r..e, $819.80. Thu total ex.
peaces for titian lectures amounted to $097.27,
caving a balance as profits of $1211.50. 'Dividing
the receipts for coureu tickets sold by the number
of lectures, and' Mid log this result to the receipts
at the door on each evening, we have the grass
receipts for each leotard sop trate. .By a similar
process went -dye at the expense+ of each lecture.
The commit tee paid Rev. Mr. Willits $5O ; total
expense of this Itcture '5121.90 ; receipts from
course tickets $94, at door $34.20, total $11920.
Paid Mr. tdcCully 025, total expenses, $100.90;
receipts from course till, at door. $15.80, total
199.80. Puld Miss Holden and MI-s B ire $55,
total expen nes 4120.50 ; receipts from course,6ol,
at door $50.25, total $150.25. Paid Dr. Warren
$5O, total expenses $121.40 ; receipts from course
$94, at door SM4O, total '123 90. Paid Miss
Dickinson 14150, total expenses 0201.40 ; receipts
from course $94, at door $233.15; total $317.14.
From this It will be eeen that on the lecture of
Mr. Willits the committee Inet $2.30; on that of
Mr. McCully they cleared .$3.40; on the joint lec
tures of M les Bare and Miss Holden they cleared
$23.85; ou that of Dr. Warren they cleared $9 ;
on that of Muse Dicklosou they cleared $95.75.
The course was considered quite successful, and
In a literary point of view the lectures were ex
cellent, but, the pirtles who made themselves
responsible ran considerable risk. It le added
that sever al'of the lecturers accepted less than
the usual compensation, on account of the object
In view. Writ Chester seems to be a bettei point
for lecture j than even Allentown.

neglect of this matter of Insurance.
. As a general thing small towns are exempt from
.erious fires; yet, within the past two years, how
many like Somerset have beau swept away by
lire. The lesson Is an impressive one. There
may he men of large means here and there, who,
like Stephen Girard, can risk the insuring of their
owe property, but the man who has but a single
property, there Is no safety In such a course. In
sure your properties lu good companies, and - then
come what' may, 'you w 11 always have a fund
upon which to fall back.
But the fact that the people of Somerset neg
lected their duty In regard to Insurance, does not
render their claims upon the sympathy of the peo
ple any less strong. Compared with the Chicago
losses those of Somerset are equally as great, the
differene. In population, etc., coma& red. Hence
there comes up to us . a powerful appeal for aid, an
appeal which, se a Christian people, we cannot
disregard.
Why is It that something Is not being done In
the way of relief ? This le not like Philadelphia.
The people of Somerset arc our own fellow•citiz •ms.
They are of our own State. They arc sulfa-log,
and should have Inimedi ite relief, and Philadel
phia Is expected to take the lead in this work of
benevolence.
SOMETHING New.—Mayor Good, the Cop
lay Cement Company and a Mr. Moyer will, In
compAuy, erect seven two-story concrete houses
uu Lumber between Allen and Tilghman.
This ostem of constructing walls Is, as far an
thin city Is concerned, an experiment, and as it
combines cheapness with many excellent qualities,
the progress of these buildings will be regarded
with considerable 'Merest. It has been used in
England and Frauce; with gratifying results, the
in Aerial there used being composed of Portland
cement. The material used here will be fulmished
by the Copley Cement Company and Its Autees,
will create a new market for the favorably known
cement of this Company. A double curb, or
wooden frame, entirely surrounding the upper
portion of the wall. serves to hold the plastic wa •
terlal In place, until It acquires auffiJeut hardness
to support itself. Them the curb in rained, and
again Ulla In with concrete. This is allowed to
dry over night and the next morning is hard
enough to allow the curb to he again rained and
the work of lilting in and building up the wall
again renewed. The walls soon become bard alai
strong enough to support scaffolding. Old Mick
bats or stones are often thrown In the centre to
save concrete. Frost, rains, etc., do not affect
the concrete after it Is once set, and the walls cat,
he made an smooth and as sharp as with cut
stone, and the cost, we believe, 18 about half that
of brick wails. The system is especially adapted
to small, cheap houses, though a warehouse IV
feet long, 50 feet wile, and 60 feet (five stories)
high, has been erected Is Southwark, Eugland,
and has been much admired and appears to hay.
Sufficient strength for the purpose far which it
was erected.
The chief clement of success, when the cement
Is of good quality,iseems to be the thorough mix
ture of the dry materials, to secure uulforn
strength, and the process Is very simple, m
skilled labor being required except for the carpeu
ter work.

occurred in other places. The destruction of the

•the PAM Woolen Mills, of Matiayuck, both-In
Philadelphia, caused a loss of over a hundred
thousand dollars, and both these establishments
were defended by lightning rods. Cu stated that
small bodies of Iron, when struck by a thunder.
bolt, will scintillate vivid sparks, and thus ignite
any ailJaceot. inflammable matter.

ings, set tiro to the gee, and then passed out to the
burst the lead packed - Joints here and there
for a distance of one thousand feet, and In the
other two leaving nothing but a little dross lo Its
place.
The lecture was concluded by announcing the
following as the conclusions derived from an ex.
aminatlon 'of many cases during the last three
years. That Ilgheuing Is an accumulation of force
Is the cloud. That when the cloud becomes sur
charged It explodes with a discharge always to-
Ward the earth. That It geurrally comes from the
west and southwest. That Its main forbu Is In Its
axial line of projection. That it strikes b Ilidings
indiscrlmintrtely as to the lightelog rod or no light-
nlc.g rod, and that In tither case Its dynamic tom
appears to be the same. That when It strikes a
b .r of iron, as a spike or clamp, or even a shln4le
nail, it burns the surf + , e and 6C lutillAtes bright
sparks, which aro capable of Igniting adjacent in
damtuable material. That a thunderbolt is nee.
trallzed the instant it meets its correlative t quire
lout of metal surface.. That when it strikes the
lightning rod, that being only a fractional qutn
thy of Itsmeutralizing equivalent, and the earth
or water at the rod's terminal point bring but a
poor conductor (fotir hundred millious of times
.lower than iron—so said the learned Cavendist,
and so says the anted telegraph electrician, David
ilrookea, of this city), it meets a oul desa%recolls
and heats the rod sulliolently, to melt Its point and
to scintillate sparks from ii, surface which jet fire
to the building., That In a house with a metal
roof there Is uodanger of harm from a thunder
bolt, tither to persons or properiY. That when
ever the lightniag rod la struck by a thunderbolt
It proves its own Ineffteleuey, since Frunkilu's
theory was that It would prevent thunderbolts, not,
Catch them. That there is no reliable evidence of
upward strokes of lightning, and that the recall of
a thunderbolt upon the rod is what leads to that
notion.
In addition to the cases referred to above, that
happened lu this city, sever.' others of an JO
strtictive charter were reviewed, minineut

noon the female Atzec, at Barnum's, had her
shoulder dislocated. Dr. E. 0. Martin was called
In and reduced the dislocation. Some time ago
the girl met with a similar accident and the phy—
sician was a half or three quarters of an hour In
paling the joint in Its place. On Saturday Dr.
Martin accomplished It in a few seconds, by the
process of manipultiti.n, to the great surprise of
the showmen, who regarded It as a greater feat
I Imo some of their own. We mention this not as
a puff for the Doctor, but to show the advancement
in surgical science.

RIOT AT ENIALIB.—On Monday a large pic
nic was held at Elnaus, which was attended by
people from various sections of the county, Allen
town Included. In the afternoons fight occurred
between an Allentoulau and a man from Trexler
town, in the brewery. This originated from an old
grudge, but there woe enough beer aboard to turn
It Into a fray of town against country. One fel
low mounted a chair and exclaimed " Kill every
Allentown s—n of a b—h," which was the
signal for a general onslaught upon both aides.
At this point the Allentown men were victorious,
but afterwards they became scattered, and at the
depot an indiscriminate assault was made upon
tho deeenbas well as the rougher element (mom
this ciry. It was a disgraceful occurrence through
out and even the presence of women and children
was no safeguard against the villainous conduct
of those who participated. It Is a pity that all
the ring•leaders In the offtlr cannot be brought to
Justice. They must be known, and if our county
officers tail to do their duty In this Instance they
will be responsible for bloodier affrays In the future.

ACCIDENT.-Mr. R. F. Stein and Miss Elite
Smith on their return home from Allentown on the
18th lust., met wl*.h an accident by which both re
calved injuries. Wishing to see Barnum's Show,
they went in to the city on the evening of that day
for that purpose. On their return home, when
about to alight from the boggy, the horse shied, it
appears, ran off and throw them both put. By this
accident Miss Smith was fortunately but slightly
Injured, but Mr. Stein received heavier Merles,
which confine him to his bed and give him severe
pain in the right side and abdomen. The horse
and buggy were found next morning some distance
