the morning, Rev. G.. W Carter preached a
most eloquent discourse from the text, The

nounced this to be his last sermon, owing to
the extreme delicacy of his health. This is
much to be regretted, as he is one of the most
popular of his denomination ever stationed in
shis section Of country. Among tho ministers
present were the Rev. Messrs. Duncan, Ben.
net, Coulling, Berry, and the Presiding Elder.
IN tne afternoon pleasant rain passed over
tne camp ground, rendering the sultry atmo-
sphere deliciously COOL There was quite o

The Tribune, Of this morning. contains some
additional pafkoulAzs of the destruction Of
Mr. Simpsons dwelling house, near POugh-
kespsis, on Friday night last. It seems that
in the absence of Mr.. s., bis house took fire,
while his wife and five children were asleep
within. So rapid was the spread of the flames,
that ere the inmates could mako their escape,
the whole building was enveloped in the fiery
mantle. Mrs. Simpson, after almost super
human efforts, escaped with her life, but In 80
doing sustained burns AID injuries Of the mos
shocking nature; while horrible to relate, her
Eve children were burnt to death. The spec.
taeie was one of the most awful that can be
imagined, and the bereaved parents are said
to be well nigh frantic from tho loss Of their
darlings. The fire is supposed to have been
caused by some incendiary, who had grudge
against the unfortunate Simpson.
Practical amalgamation is carried on to q
considerable extent in this city. The official
statistics OF marriages during tho month Of
June, authenticated by the city inspector,
show that four black men were married to
white women within that period.
An unknown man apparently about 20 years
Of age, was at Z o'clock this morning caught
between two cars, on the corner of Broone
street and the Bowery, and his head crashed
in such q terrible manner that death ensued
