—CRYSTAL PALACE The German Gymnastic
Society (Tenter Vereis) bolds its annual meeting to-morrow
at the Crystal Palace. This society has branches in many
of the large towns in this country as well so of the prin-
cipal continental cities, and it has during the last few years,
held its annual meeting at the Crystal Palace, at which
members come together to compete for prizes for athletic
exercises. The sports will take place on the balloon ground,

tastefully designed belly bowers.
A His-roiliest, BALE or Corrox. When the
strainer Lexington was burnt in Lenz Island Sound, Jan. El
1840, David Crowley, of this city, second mate, was saved
on • bale of cotton, upon which he drifted two days arid
nights, and finally went ashore at Riverhead, Long Island.
This bele of cotton Mr. Crowley has preserved with religious
core until the present time, but the price of the staple to-
day
has brought out the sacred relic for sale. It is of re-
markable quality, and the three hundred pound bele is
worth from 400 to 500.1ollers.— Providence U. s. J Journal.
