The funeral of Mr. Charles Gown, whose death,
under peculiar circumstances, we recorded last
week, was the largest ever beheld in this place
An impressive sermon was delivered by Rev. DR.
Studdiford in the Presbyterian Church. to a
deeply affected audience, from Job, l4th chap
ter and the latter clause of the 10Th verse =
" And thou destroyeth the hope of man." In
the procession appeared the Cricket Club, of
this place, numbering forty members, of which
body the deceased had been prominent men,
Der. The employees of the firm of VIM. & c.
Gown, were also present to pay their last tri-
butte of respect to their late respected and be-
loved employer.

Fire at Easton---Heavy Loss of Dan Rice,s Circus

Company. -
The brick stable owned and used by the pro-
prietor of the United States Hotel Major Schortz,
was again destroyed by fire this morning, this
making the second time within twelve or fifteen
months that fire has swept away the interior
frame work and rendered. Is Unfit for use
The fire commenced about haf-past four o.
clock and was not stopped before seven, though
the rain beat in upon it and the firemen worked
most faithfully; keeping up a continual stream
upon it from their hose.
There are several stories ahoat in regard to the
origin of the fire. but having made inquiry, we
are satisfied that It was the result of careessness
on the pert Of one Of the men having charge of
TIE horses of the Circus Company, who went in
the stable with a lantern, containing burning
fluid. The groom, upon entering to prepare his
horses for departure, set the lantern upon mar
row board projecting from the wa1f from WHICH
it fell and exploded, and in moment or two the
fire communicated with the hay in the loft above
the second story, making it impossible to arrest
its progress, as long as there was any hay to
burn.
Another story is to the effect that it was set
on fire by drunken fellow who had been elected
from the stable several times, but that in regard
to the lantern was told US by the hostler in the
employ of Mr.. Schortz, and is undoubtedly the
true one.
The loss to Mr.. Schortz is heavy, while the
Circus Company are great sufferers Mr..
Schortz's property was insured to the amount
of fifteen hundred dollars in the Saucon Insur-
ance Company, but his individual loss, notwth-
standing that, will be from six to eight hundred
dollars
The Circus Company, as we have already
stated are heavy losers Five thousand dollars
will not more than.cover their losses. Twelve
splendid horses were sofocated and lay dead in
the stable this morning. presenting most sad
sight Most of them were not burned at all,
but had persisted through suffocation. One ami
NAL that Mr. Rice informed us he would not
have parted with for thousand dollars, was
lost. The Company have no insurance on their
stock
The elephant occupied a place in the first
story of the stable, and made his escape Thin
jured.
Mr. Schortz had three tons of hay in the sta
BILE, about two hundred bushels of oats, and
several loads of straw.
The Circus proceeded on its way to Allentown
this morning.
Dan Rice has been in bed most of the time
since his arrival here, being so unwell that he
was unable to appear at the performances yes
terday.
The stable was visited by a large number this
morning after the fire.
Two or three of the horses saved from the
burning stable, being injured some, were placed
in the care of a veterinarian in town, who thinks
he can restore them.-Enpress Of the 18th anst

The Harden Poisoning Cnse.

The trial began last Tuesday, at Belvidere
On the part of the Commonwealth will be en-
gagged the Attorney General of the State, Hon.
W. L. Dayton, and the Deputy Prosecuting At
torney of the County, Joseph Vilet. In behalf
of the prisoner, ex-Chancellor Williamson and
j G. Shipman, Esq of Belvidere are retained.
The Newark Mercury says =
The accused, Jacob S. Harden is the son of
John Harden, a resident of Blairstown, in War
rem county, where the family from which he is
descended have resided for two or three genera
tons. His father is worthy farmer in moder-
ate circumstances, has always been respected for
honesty and intregity is member of the Me-
thodist Church and leading parsonage therein
Jacob S. Harden is about % years of age, and
until he settled at Andersontown he had always
been under his fathers roof and supervision
In early life he joined the church of which his
father is member. His education is limited
never haEing enjoyed any better advantages
than what unfortunately district common school
affords.
Like hundreds of farmers sons, his early life
was devoid of any marked prominent traits of
character If any one trait had prominence it
was perseverance in, or stubborn determination
to, adhere to any conceived notion or idea he
might entertain. Vanity was also prominent,
self-sufficiency, which tended to render his gen
eral bearing unenviable His late wife was
Louisa Durling, daughter of John During,
for many years resident Of the township OF
Blairstown He was very respectable man,
OF moderate circumstances in life. She and her
husband were school-children together, and while
/ growing up to maturity were mingling with
others society together. She was about his own
age, with a progressing appearance, and an
unimpeachabe character, a young lady well fit
ted to suit his position in life in every respect
There is a prevailing opinion that Harden il
innocent of the awful crime charged against him
Very contradictory statements are made con
corning his completely in the matter, the truth
or falsity of which can alone be ascertained by :
fair trial, which the people Of Warren seem dis
posed to give the accused

Reader have you ever had true, conhdlng
friend torn from you by Deaths relentless naho ,
Do YOU know what it is to be bereft in TINS cold
world-alone to walk its dreary paths-alone TO
brave it's storms of adversely, and Dear up De-
meath the deluge of conflicting passions God
in his Providence, wise and just, has taken from
our midst the friend we idoEzed and trusted
the friend in whose safe keeping we were wont
to place our every trouble-the friend to whom
we gladly turned for advice and sweet words of
sympathy. In the grave they laid him. There
by that grave we call up in long review the thou
sand endearments lavished upon us, and the
whole history of gentleness and meekness. There
it is that we dwell upon the tenderness, the
solemn, awful tenderness of the parting scene
the bed of Death, with all its stifled griefs, its
noiseless attendance, its mute, watchful assidui-
ties the last testimonies of expiring friendship
the feebly futtering, thrilling-oh how thrill
ing-pressing of the hand the last fond look of
the glazed eye turning upon us, even from the
threshold of existence! the faint faltering ac-
cents struggling even in Death to give one more
assurance of affection We linger by that grave,
the resting place of the mortal body SO lately
containing the spirit sought by the God who
gaveit
"Death finds us mid paythings- snatches
Us from our toys and baubles, His rough
Call unlooses all our favorite ties on earth
And we'll fthey such may be answered
In yonder world where all sjudged of truly"
We mourn not alone the loss of friend, for
the icy hand at one fell stroke severed the slken
band SO lovingly entwined around the hearts of
many. We acknowledge thine infinite power,
and thy Unreasonable mercy, 0, God and may
the storm winds of affection be waited gently
to that fond parent, whose grey hairs betoken
her soon resting place beside loved and
darling boy May her bereavement be to her
the finger of God" reckoning from out the
murky clouds, and gently whispering: Come
to me-" May those, who in the capacity of
brother and sisters, formed loyal band receive
that consolation which the world cannot give
nor take away Although the several members
of that circle may hereafter be separated to at
tend to the various relations of their earthly
callings, yet, if sympathetic feeling, in one out
side of the circle, will tend to tighten the burden
of their sorrow, it is theirs. Another sorrow
stricken spirit mourns in deep affection the idol
of her affection Mourn on fair one, that noble
form on whom those smiles were lavished so
beautifully sleeps with his God. Worthy was
he of thy endeared friendship, but he is dead.

None named him but to praise
