There was great excitement among the silk factory hands nt Patterson, New Jersey, Wednesday. Five or six hundred . of them are on a strike.

He' drew on' empty revolver, hut was chased out of the hall nnd pursued half n mile, hun dreds of persons joining In the chase, it having been reported that he liad shot a woman. He was captured, taken before Justice Hudson, nnd discharged. He made a complaint against the woman who assaulted him with salt and pepper, and she was arrested nnd held to bail in $500. The operatives nre determined to stand firm and so are the employees. A Sensible Judge. Judge llhone, of Luzerne county, has has called for the vouchers for the items termed funeral expenses in a recent case heard in the orphans' court. The amount t of the decedent's personal estate was l$581.82,while the expenses of burial were 'returned by the administrator at $139.75. Dn the subject of extravagant funerals Judge Rhone Bays : " It is not necessary to have a pompous procession in great length, in which figure conspicuously waving plumes the prancing livery steed, harnessed to finely upholstered vehicles and a glistening silver plated casket In which is placed the cold clay, clothed with raiment ns costly as the richest he wore when living. Neither is a pile of carved marble with poetic in scriptions set over the tomb in a con spicuous corner lot in the city of the dead, necessary for a Christian burial. Have the terms grave,collln and shroud, been forgotten by everybody t Such parades as nre called ' fine funerals' may gratify the vanity of the living, but no respect for the dead demands them, and where a decedent's estate is limited and his debts are not paid or where he leaves a family of helpless children, the ex penses of such burials will not be allow, ed out of his estate. Those who con tract for nnd enjoy such luxuries must pay for them themselves." A Terrible Fire. A dispatch received late on Wednesday night last says that a terribly destructive fire is now raging in St. John, New Brunswick. A telegram received early on Thursday morning states that all the public buildings, three principal hotels and nil newspaper offices nre burned. About three-fourths of the city is de stroyed. The fire is still raging, and is beyond control. The Western Union Telegraph office only saved their instruments and books, Several tchooners and larger vessels were burnt to the water's edge. Rafts laden with goods and household ware readily caught tho flames and were con gumed. The fierce wind drove the flames to the south and east and destroyed every thing till they reached the water's edge, Five men and two infants are now known to have lost their lives nnd many nro missing. The loss Is estimated nt from $10,000,000 to $15,000,000, nnd the insur ance will not, it is thought, exceed $0, 000,000. Thousands of people wnndcr the streets, homeless nnd In despair. The destruction of provisions of all kind seems to point to famine, nnd relief must come in speedily or many must perish from want. Few saved even their clothes. The fire is still raging, nnd no hope Is entertained of extinguishing It until it has exhausted Itself for want of material to keep it alive. The wind has died down but the fire still burns fiercely. The gas-works nre destroyed and the remainder of the city is in darkness. The area burned Is nearly two hundred acres. Where the Turks will get Money An lin- menso Amount ot Money Lying line. Mr. Delaplalne,the Charge d'Afliiiresof the United States at VIenna,furnlshes the Department of State nt Wnshlngton the following interesting information con cern ing a certain remarkable war resource of Turkey, the so-called "Treasure of Islam." The Chelk ul Islam has recent ly Bent a delegation of doctors of the law to the Cherlf of Mecca, a direct de scendant of the prophet, for the purpose of demanding funds in defence of the Islam faith. It Is customary on these solemn occasions for the Cherif to assem ble the college of the elders,charged with' the guard of the prophet's tomb, which will decide upon the appropriate sum to be furnished to the Sultan from the Treasure of Islam, In order to aid him in the wnr ngalnst Russia. This treasure is formed from those annual offerings of the pilgrims which are accumulated in the Kasbah of Mecca. These sepulchres which serve as offertory chests, are plac ed within the Court of the Mosque. Each pilgrim daily casts into one of these a coin as an offering, which con stitutes the alms prescribed by the Ko ran as one of the elements of the merit of the pilgrimage, which every Mussul man should make at least once in his life-time to the tomb of the prophet. Ac cordingly every year about one hundred thousand pilgrims go to Mecca, who so journ there a month, mnd consequently a sum of at least three millions of francs is annually received in these offertory chests. Every pilgrim deposits, in fact an offering, varying In amount, accord ing to his means, but which on the aver age may he estimated as equivalent to five francs at least for every day, con sidering that there are rich Musselmen, whose offerings attain even the amount of 100,000 francs during their pilgrimage. It results thereby that the Cheuf of Mec ca receives in the average the value of 15,000,000 francs in annual oll'erlngs. One of the ollertory chests was opened during the period of the Russo-Turkish wnr in 1S08. Several large sums were withdrawn, but it was afterwards again closed. A second chest was opened in 1824, during the Crimean war, but the third has not been opened since 1415, during a period of 402 years. Inasmuch ns the annual concourse of pilgrims has rarely fallen below one hundred thous and, it is conjectured that, with most liberal allowances, the accumulation of money in the last named offertory chest cannot be less than 250,000,000 francs, and it is fully believed that the total amount of the treasure of Islam will ex ceed 000,000,000 francs,and may even at tain a much higher sum. Death Caused by Boys. Tuemont, Pa., June 18. After quit ting time this evening at the Colkett colliery while a boy named George Derr, about eighteen years of age, was riding a mule down to the stable some boys ran out of the woods waving their hats.

The boy died about twenty min utes afterwards. Indians Run Away with Live Stock. Deadwood, D. T., June 18.

Frank Whittemore, a painter, met Miss Alice Carter, a wealthy young heiress, in New York a year ago, and they became betrothed. They eloped and went to live in West Hoboken. Several weeks ago Mrs. Whittemore gave birth to a child, and the father of the young wife relenred,and sent a check for $1,000 to his daughter to fit up her household. On Monday a week young Whittemore procured the mony on the check and quit home. The forsaken wife told the story of her husband's abandonment to her father, and hewent to Hoboken. On Tuesday she packed up her furniture and started for New York. At the Hoboken ferry Dr. Talson, whom Mr. Whittemore owed a bill of $20, had Constable Francis levy on the furniture, and it was stopped. The father and daughter were taken to the ' police station, and Mr. Carter was forced to pay the money. A Drave Girl Shoots a tramp. A murderous tramp nt Great Falls, N. H., met more than his match the other evening in the 20 years old servant girl of 1). B. Dennlson. Tramp entered the house while the fiuijily were abseitt, and ordered the girl to deliver the money and other valuables on pain of death. She begged for her life and offered to go up stairs and get the money. This ho permitted, but she procured Mr. Den nlson 's revolver lnstend, nnd when her visitor showed no inclination to obey her commands to leave tho house she fired, and the ruffian fell. The other tramps immediately appeared and car ried off their groaning comrade, nnd no trace of them has yet been found.

With the best possible care she wilt be disiigurod for life. ZW Summer life at Newport, R. I., is thus summed up by a correspondent : "It consists chiolly in bringing city manners, habits and customs into the country. The exclusives do not bathe in the ocean ; they have salt water brought to them in the bar rel. In this way they avoid the heat and sun and ' the hotel people' who visit the beach, and holp to support the deserving persons who carry about the water barrels. They do not walk or row, they seldom sail, and if they fish they hire men to bait their hooks for them. They strictly ob serve all the formalities and ceremonies of city life, drive out in the afternoon, dress themselves two or three times a day, and in the evening the ladies ciiticise each other and talk about their clothes. A more useless, and, all things considered, a more tiresome exercise could not well be imag ined. But then it is fashionable, and costs a great deal of money." , C3""TA novel scene occurred as tho western train was leaving the Montreal depot, a few days ago. It appears that a marriage took place four years ago between a young man from a western city and a handsome young lady residing in that city. The couple resided peaceably there for some time with the young lady's mother, until the mother of the young man arrived in town and persuaded him to go home again. The wife and mother-in-law hearing of his contemplated departure hastened te the Bonaventure depot just a few minutia be fore the departure of the train. A scene then occurred. The young man was held firmly by bis mother, and notwithstanding all the efforts of his wife he was uuable to move. The conductor put an end to the scandal by entering the car and ordering those without tickets to leave the train. The young wire was carried from the car fainting, and the train proceeded with her unfaithful husband nnd bis triumphant mother. . WIDE AWAKE FOR JULY, 1877.
