EVERGREENS WINTER•KILLED.—Wo have
already alluded to the Influence the remarkably
severe winter has had on evergreens. The no•
counts from allover the country appear to be about
the same. The Country Gentleman says as fol
lows In relation to the matter
Cultivators do not agree as to the precise cause.
In some places where there has been no cold severe
enough to kill th 4 frult.buds of the peach, the de.
structiou of evergreens Is as severe as where the
mercury has gone down to twenty degrees below
zero. The long continued cold,StrOtl.; winds, and
exposure to the sun's rays, have doubtless had
their Influence, as sheltered trees are often lees
affected than those exposed to severe blast., nnd
tlmseindward sides of tnany trees are most injured;
endln other car's those which have been shielded
fro
the ,nutsrays have escape t while others are
killed. Yetthe fact that mane dead trees are scut
Intermixed with green and healthy ones In the
same hedge row. renders a , atisfactory explana•
Mon difficult. The Pew York Journal of Com,
merce states let the loss of yonog evergreens in
and about Astoria, Long Island, is estimated at
hon.lreds of thousands of dollars, and that !OM
nurserymen have lost their entire stock. We have
been Informed that Parsons & Co., of Flushing,
lost thirty thousand dollar* worth. The entire de
struetion east of the Rocky Mountains is said to
amount to millions.

AWFUL DEATH of A SHALL ClreLD.—The
baby daughter of Thomas McLaughlin, who re
sides a short distance from Summit MIL was run
over by a coal train on the Switch-Back Railroad
and instantly killed. The accident occurred last
Friday. It seems the.child, which was a bright
little thing, a year and a half old, went out of the
yard without Its mother being aware of it o The
Switch-Bark runs a short distance In frant of the
gate, and the child immediately went upon the
track. In a moment a coal train came along and
the runner held up with all his strength but he was
too late to save the child. It was burled on Sun
day.—Mauch Chunk Gazette.
IN consequence of an irregularity in con

attend the special Court this week to , try Joseph
Brown, charged with the murder of Daniel
Kremer. One gond effect of the result of this
motion will be to make all offici .ls connected with
the acministration of jugice, more careful in the
future In carrying out the strict requirements of
the law tinder which they act. It Is easier, and a
good deal better, to do what one has to do, right.
It saves time and money.—Polsville Journal.
ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN GONE.—Captain
Daniel Bieber, an old and well known eitiztm or
Kutztown, died at his residence In that borough
on Saturday morning week, aged 26 years. Capt.
Bieber %vas chosen to the command of a volunteer
company In his native town forty years itgo,o pc
sition which he held for many years. He was ,no
of the most prdmlnent, influential and useful cit•
Ivies of the eastern end of thecouuty,and through.
out his long life was held In the highest respect
by his friends and neighbors. He waszt member
of the old Whig and Republican parties and was
frequently chosen to po.ltions of honor and trust,
which he tilled with credit to himself and advan—
tage to the community. His death at a ripe old
age, though not unlocked for, , will be mourned by
the satire community among whom he lived.—

TRANSFERRED TO EASTON.—The man Pen
dergrast, charged with shorting Father McKee,
at Catasanqua,was transferred to the Easton Jail,
last week. The offence was committed just over
the • llue, In Northampton eounty,and the ease will
therefore have to be tried In that county.. Pen
dergrast Is evidently losane upon• the subject of
killing Father McKee and that , the reverend gen
tleman escaped with so little injury Is very fortu
nate for him. His Idea seems to be that Father
McKee did something to injure hls chances of em•
ploytnent, but everybody who,knows the Priest
knows. that It is the height of folly to suppose
anything of the kind. The trial will undoubtedly
create great interest, as the off sir Is one of the
most remarkable, during and exciting that ever
occurred In the borough of Catasaugua and came
so near Involving the life of an innocet.t and law
abiding citizen, who was not even aware of the
shooting having taken place.
DIiCORATION AT SLATING rON.—The Cere
mony of decorating the graves of soldiers, In the
vicinity of Slatington, was performed on Thursday
afternoon. At two o'clock, the procession formed
on Main street, under the command of Major
Clem. White, and a large crowd of people was
collected to see the parade. The right of the line
was taken up by Farragut Post, G. A. R.,preceded
by a dram corps, and then lohowed the Older of
Red Men, citizens, etc. The procession proceeded
to Friedens Church Cemetery, and thence to the
Union Cemeto y. The graves of the departed
heroes were strewn with dowers, anthems were
sung by the church choirs, and a beautiful and
touchlag oration was delivered by Rev. MacNaugh
ten, the pastor of the Presbyterian Church, fol
lowed by prayer from Rev. Fulsom, the chaplain,
and concluding with an address In German by Rev.
Derr. Though the weather was exceedingly un•
pleasant and the roads very muddy, the turnout
was large and reflected great credit upon the bo•
rough of Blatington.

factory, hardware store, two saddle shops, several
groceries and provision stores. There were In all
about twenty handing& consumed. The loss is
partially covered by Insurance. Se •oral buildings,
however, are entirely uninsured. At ono time It
wasleared that a greater part of the town would

Its other buildings were saved. Loss, $75,000.

horses belonging to Peter Kline, of Bucks county,
attached to a wagon loaded with potatoes, started
on a run at Ridge Road and Sycamore street, and
ran down to Front street wtere the wagon Wu, k

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. —A serious accident
occurred at Blery's Bridge, at Cainsampt, Fri
day, by which Adam Cringer, the watchman ,of
.he Lehigh V illey Railroad at that place, was
consltier.thly Injured., Cringer, seeing aft eight
train In sight, endeavored to prevent a horse and
wagon from being Jriven across the track. The
man in the wagon paid no attention to Cringer's
Antis to stop him, and tne train struck his
wagon, throwing the vehigle against the watch
house and tnnving the latter from Its place. Crin
ger was struck by the wagon and who severely
bruised, and had his face and bead severely cut.
The wagon was smashed and the horse ran away
at full speed. What became of the driver we
could not us crude.
A mammnTu century plant, 40 feet in height
and wel: Bing three and a half tons, was recent y
shipped front Fiorillo to psrtles In New York. The
plant is on the eve of blooming a second ti oe and
is thereforefore nearly two hundred years old.
Its leaves extend over an area the diameter of
which Is not less than eighteen feet, while the
central shaft or column on which blooms are to
appear, though only a few weeks old, has already
attained an altitude of fifteen feet. IL Is still
growing at the rate of about six inches a oay,ana
will continue todo so for about three weeks longer

DECORATION OF SOLDIERS' GRAVES. To
the Excelsior Rfl and to the children of thc pub
lic schools, especially, are the thanks of the pa•
triode citizens of Allentown due for see ng us from
the neglect of observing the beautiful and Solemn
ceremonies of Decoration Day. Shortly after six
o'clock, last Friday, the Excelsior Rides formed
on Centre Square and, preceded by their drum
corps,and followed by a procession of several hun
dred girls and buys, proceeded to the several ceme•
tc: les and strewed the fresh spring flowers over the
graves of the heroes who died for their country.
'ln the Sixth Ward the ceremonies were conduettal
der the supervision of Mathew Ault, and every
thing passed off very creditably to those who pur
-1 tlclpated.
WE often wonder when Allentown will be
finished. Although Hamilton street Is about us
compactly built upon as it ever can be, from one
end to'tbe other Improvements of some kind are in
progress and the business men are never free from
the sound of the bummer, the saw and the maul.
and chisel. One gentleman.gets tired of his shed
like awning and erec s an ornamental structure In
its stead. .The contrast forces his neighbor to
follow suit. Another thinks he a ants a Late front
and, whether he does or not, he puts in plate glass,
and then his neighbor Inslstesupon having ona•,
too. Old-fashioned buildings are giving piece to
larger and more modern structures. Flag piers
ments are taking the place of MI I:, and us there
Is still much work to so, and men's notions are
very ehangcable, we suppose we shall never be
free from the busy hum of this branch of Industry.

LETTER FILONI JOHN KELSEY—WHAT HE
Known ABOUT TRH WHEAT CROP.—We have just
received a letter from our old Limits county friend
John Kekey, written from flit kory Run, Carbon'
county, where he resided many years ago. With.
In the last mon. h Mr. Kelsey has been traveling
considerably In the West, where he hod an oppor
tunity of cheery log the prospects of the wheat
crop. About a mouth ago he was In Morgan and
Macouttln counties, Illinois, where much of the
ground said to have been sown with wheat 18 per
fectly bare. In some fields a very few epears of
live wheat were to be seen. In the northern part
of Morgan county not much wheat la raised, cern
being the chief staple. South of Jacksonville Is a
great wheat country, and Macoupin county Is con
sidered one of the best wheattproducing districts
in the State. In crossing this county from West to
east Mr:Kelsey saw but three middling fields; and
on inquiry of all extensive farmer he learned that
the latter knew of no good fields In that region.
•ht the way between Jacksonville and Chicago he
saw no good wheat. Passing eastward through
Inalana ity the Fart Wayne road he stopped at
Canton, tOhlo. In the former State he noticed a
f :iv good lots of wheat, but In eastern Indians and
western Ohio It is very pow. I a Columbiana
county he caw one good field ; and through west:.
ern Pennsylvallla there was none that prom ked a
crop. Eastward flout Harrisburg, through the
Lebanon valley; which Is celebrated for good yields
01 wheat, the prospect is even worse than In any
other district through which he passed. The cause
of the falinre is generAlly attributed to the scarcity
of falOW last winter, and the Intense cold. Many
f inners In the West proposed to plow up the wheat
and plant corn. Mr. Kelsey stays where the wheat
had been drilled In It had come through the win•
ter In much better order than where It was sown
broadcast. The extremely dry weather has been
very hail' on •wlnter grain all over the country
through which be passed. The Indications every.
where are that wheat w ill he very scarce and must
increase in price. In passing through Chicago
Mr. Kelsey found about half the burnt district al
ready rebuilt and occupied, with thousands of la
borers at woil; In all directions preparing the
ground for new strictures. The people of the
city. are wide awake to the future. As to
political sentiment, Mr. Kelsey conversed with
many people during his trip, but did not
make any new disc arnica. Before the
nett Convention ell the Republicans lie met were
Gr.int men; and after that time he saw but two
who declared a preference for Greeley. 0:e of
these had attended the convention as a delegate
from Louisiana, and the other was an Ohlo Gruner.
According to Mr. Kelsey 'r observations Horace
wt.! get Very few votes from Republienns. Sluice
his return to Carbon county Mr. Kelsey has bean
hard at work OLMIng• the tires In the fury. tr.
which have been very destructive. An* , were
generally extinguished by the recent rains. Boy
sail saw mills and great nannthiss o f logs h o nr
been banned In that vlclulty.—lhicka Intelli

A IMPORT was current in Allentown, Mon
day mornlng,that Horace Greeley had died. Many
supposed meant that be had dyed his hat, hot
the report probably grew out of the death of James
Gordou Beimett.
Toe custom of " sitt'ng" on "stoops" and

ENIPLOYE9 OF TUE 'DELAWARE, LACKA—
WANNA AND WESTRIIN RAILROAD AIIRMED TOR
EMIII:ZZLEMFINT,L•SMIIitOII wan greatly excited
Thur-d.ty afternoon, on account of the arrest of
several men connected with the Delaware, Lack
a walnut and Western Railroad Company, for em
bzzlement. One of the guilty parties, who has
been confined In Wllkesbarre J ill for six weeks
plot, no doubt Jealous of the liberty his confeder
ates were cid .ving, exposed the entire gang.
Superintendent W. F. Ilulletead gave the case into
the hands of Detectives fhtilstead and S'lllwell,
who succeeded In capturing the cut re.party, and
they were brJught. before Alderman Fuller hand
' cuff d. Two of this gang have been for years
employed by the company na bosses OR tile track
from here to Biughatuton. They are B trlow and
Feltner. They employ a large number of men,
who, at the end of each month are supp led by
the bosses with orders for pay at the general

Moses have for a year or two supplied five mon,
not at all connected with the work, with orders
for pay, and when the money was paid over, an
equal division was made of the pile. The Com
pany has lost a.l.rge amount of money. The two
b vises were sent to Jail, and three of the men
were also committed.
IT IS A BURNING SHAME that the Dale Mart
a facturitut Company should be kept buck In Its
operations by a ask of • capital., There are a
number of hard working, energetic, practical Iron
masters who have offered to put In capital, and
they want soma mac from the business men and
clpitalists, but It has not been forthcoming. That
the works would be well managed there is no
question, and being, well managed they would pay
handsomely. Thus far would those who Invested
be beuelltted. The works would give employment
to many hundreds of skilled laborers, bringing to
our city a class of men who would be heaVy con•
smilers and who would add greatly to the growth
and business prosperity of the city. There is not
merchant In the city who, If he invested, would
not be largely recompensed, both In dividends and
Increase of trade, by the erection of these works,
and there Is not a loot of land that would not be
enhanced In value by the demand far more houses
which the works would create. This opportunity
to sill a thousand or two to our population should
sot be permitted to ship away without an elitist
upon the part of our business men to secure Its
success. We do not - know whether the . project.
ors are thoroughly discouraged or not, but they
might he Induced to again make the effort If they
had the proper encouragement from those who
ought to be at the head of such movements.

beautiful woods known as Union Grove, at Wal
nut, ort, on the L. dz EL R. It., and are prepared to
accommo pimento parties. They make no
Ciaurge for the grove, but expect to furnish the
refreshments, which they do on the most liberal
terms. The grove Is pleasantly situated and far
enough from the railroad to avoid danger to
children. All the hauling for parties engaging
the woods will be done free.
AN Ica CREAM Stn:Lt.—The Lancaster Ex
press says; A Columbia clergyman was the for
tunate recipient of a can of lard last week, which
hu had carefully deposited in his cellar surrounded
with Ice, supposing all this time the can contained
Ice cream. The following evening he invited some
friends to his house for a quiet little treat, but
fearing the supply would fall short, be requested
a young dry-goods merchant to taste the cream,
and go down to the saloon and order more of the
same Kind. The scene that followed that taste
bezgars description, but after our young friend'
finished spitting and explaining himself, one or
two roars of hearty laughter were Indulged in,
and the company retired home, well pleased with
their treat.
AT Grace Cburch,Bunday evening,Rev. Wm.
R. dries preached an eloquent, beautiful and forci
ble sermon upon the fall of Adam and Ev e . le
took occasion to rebut the theory of the Darwinites
that man la merely an Improvement upon the
monkey. God created man In his own Image and
neither physically nor morally has there been that
progress which certl in philosophers contend for.
The brutes are no better or more beautiful to.d ty
than they were at the time of the creation. If
anything, they have retrograded, and there Is no
proorthat man la superior In physical formation
to Adam. 141r.Gries' sermon was a common•sense
and convincing discourse, interesting In the facts
set forth, elevating In Its moral teachings, and
should not fall to have a good effect upon the
minds of those who listened to Its beautiful lan
guage.
Fou PRILADKLI'LIIA.—A large number of
Lehigh COUIititILIS are going to Phil Ldelphia to see
the " big guns" who will be assembled Irma all
parts of the Union to participate In the selection
of the National standard bearers of the Rdpubli
eon pan y. Never again, probably, will those who
have already arrived at the age of manhood have
the opportunity so near at hand to take a look at
the leading men of the Nation—who have grap
pled with the great events of the century and have
brought order out of chaos and peace to the coon
.ry. The preparations m tiring In Philadelphia
for the grand occasion are on an immense scale
and any ono who goes there cannot fall to be well
compensated for the trip. The champion city of
Republlcaul.ro will give a rouslug welcome to the
delegates to the National Cooveutloo nod the de.
inonstrations in preparation will do honor to the
energy, enterprise and hospitality of the City of
Brotherly Love.
SOLD.—According to the Messenger, some
of the Democrats of Pbconlxvllle were badly sold
on Thursday. The Messenger says : " Our Dem—
ocratic friends were slightly sold on Thursday
last. Ono of their number was busy for several
days procuring the names of the faitnful who
would attend the Democratic Convention at Read—
ing. All were promised free tickets if they would
go for his favorite candidate. Qaite a number of
persons assembled at the plate appointed for meet—
ing, whence they were to be escorted with flying
colors to the depot. The tour arrived, but
the gentleman who was to rural. h the passes and
marshal the procession 1114 not make his appear•
mm. With downcast looks the party made their
way to the care, and were politely heeded a pass
by Mr. Gordon, which would carry them to Read
ing and return for the small sum of E 1.35. There
was not much enthusiasm, we imagine, for the
f vorlte candidate, but there was some iret•class
swearing at the-man who had so deceived them."

Yesterday, being Decoration D.ty, was partly
kept ua a holiday. All the store, were closed in
the afternoon. The procession was beaded by the
Mod. The first place visited was the Evangelical
graveyard, thence the decorators went to the
Union grave yard, hisky Hill, and closed their
ceremonies in the Moravian burying ground,where
an oration was delivered by Major Norris. Among.
other sentiments, this accomplished young orator
described two vivid scenes of which be had been
a sharer during the late war. T. were, Fred
ericksburg and the Southern Prison Pene. As I
do not pretend to give a report, I will merely state
that the ceremonies, notwithstanding the threat
ening aspect of the weather, palmed off to the credit
of the G. A. 11 , by whose Instrumentalities thls
beautiful sentiment Is annually renewed.
Pointless posters, evidently the production of a
sorehead. are out, giving spiteful dabs at our

to the place, I suppose. Occasionally lampoon

having. a tendency to keep all respectahle attd

not welcome yesterday, has again rejuvenated

Grnnd Wedding . at Lancaster
The Lancaster Express says : A magniticetsl
wedding ceremony in upper life brought to
gether a concourse of fashionable sad elegant:
people at St. James' church, on Tuesday eve
ning. The parties were Miss Anna Julia Esh
lemon, the eldest daughter of Hon. D. G. Etili
leman, an eminent and successful lewd prat
litioner of Lancaster, and the Hon. John H.
McMurdy, a young gentleman from Colorado,
whom Grace Greenwood, in her pleasing let.
tors last summer from the territory, eulogized
for his wisdom in his elevated means of secur
ing political preferment.
Miss Eshleman is the lineal descendant on
her mother's side of George Rose, one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independence.
She is alsa related to another PenGsylvania
signer, James Wilson, and to a third signor,
George Read, 01 Delaware.
Miss M. E. Philips, of Philadelphia, was
one of the bridesmaids, and Col. J. R. C.
Ward one of the groomsmen. Eight hundred
sets of invitations were 'soled. The presents
were numerous and costly, reaching many
thousands of dollars In an onnt. Music added
to the brillia cy of the occasion. Mrs. Secre
tary Robeson, cousin of the bride, and an ac
knowledged leader of Washington society,
was, with Mrs. Eshleman, the good genius of
le affair.
The entire bar of Lancaater and ninny of
