sTThe timely and commendable orga-

will likely result in an organization of wi
der scope and more permanent character
than fire companies in general. 1t is in
contemplation, We believe, to obtain a

as well as fire company, after the example
of similar institutions in the cities The
Mutual Insurance Company up the river
has become unpopular in this quarter. We
see no good reason why this newly fledged
fire company might not in due time safely
insure the bulk of the property in this Bo-

the parties interested. The idea is worthy
of consideration.

even misshapened tree will resume the

are improved by similar treatment. Apple
trees, which have been neglected, should
now be maDured the ash of the bark and
leaves of the apple tree contains Is per
cent. of lime, and therefore in old orchards
it should be applied freely. Where the
soil is short of organic matter, the lime
should be added, after the addition OF
muck or other organic substance, but if
this was neglected in the fall. it should
be recolected, also, that the apple can no,
mature unless the soil is fairly supplied
with phosphoric acid, potash, soda, sui
phuric acid and chlorine. and all these,

Disasters In PHILADELPHIA.

A fire broke out in the Assembly bull
ding, on the corner Of Chestnut and Tenth
streets, late in the evening of the 18th
inst, and before aid could be obtained, was
too far under way for control. 1t was al
so stated that the height of the building
was so great that ordinary engine pipes
were Of little use-and the large and splen-
did fabric was soon in ruins, and its nu-
merous inmates lost much or all of their
property. Among them was splendid
Panorama of the Bible, valued at s2O, 900,
which had not yet been exhibited, and was
the all Of the proprietor.
On the morning of the 18th, the neigh
borhood of the Spring Garden Presbyterian
Church, under the pastoral charge of the
Rev. DIR. M'Dowell, was stunned by the
falling in of the roof of their large and
splendid house of worship, so by 10 feet,
built only six years ago at a cost of nearly
$4,000. The immediate cause of the
disaster was the body of snow falling at
the time (thc equinoctial storm of Monday
and Tuesday week. but it is admitted by
all that the building had not sufficient
strength to support the roof as built. Had
i, fallen while congregation were gather
ed, hundreds of lives must have been lost,
as the interior is complete wreck, and
the brick sides of the building were forced
outwardly by the falling mass. The con-
gregation are taking measure to rebuild.
These accidents are impressive warnings
aginst putting buildings so high in the air
as not to be reached by fire engines, and
against sacrificing strength and durability
to show and supposed cheapness in build
ing.
