The STRAWBERRY FEsrIvAL.-The
Strawberry Festival which was given at
Metropolitan Hall. on Wednesday evening,
under the auspices of the members OF the
Congregational Church, was one Of the most
happy and entertaining affairs Of the sea-
son. Strawberries and cream constitute an
entertaining topic at almost any time. and
he who could not be happy over them,
would fail to be happy anywhere.
The attendance was large-evsn larger
than was anticipated. Not less than one
hundred and fifty quarts Of most delicious
Strawberries disappeared - if by magic.
accompanied by liberal quantities Of ex-
cellent cream, of which there was no less
than sixteen gallons consumed. Cake also
disappeared mysteriously. The receipts OF
the entertainment amounted in the gross to
gill 90, which will nett very handsome
purse, which ia to be applied to de!raying
some little outstanding indebtedness Of the
church.
There was no lack Of music on the occa-
sion. Prof d. @. Waugh Of Rock leland
performed some delightful music upon the
guitar, Of which he 10 master. His efforts
to please we're most satisfactory. The broth
ers Wallace. and Charley Burr. also lent
their aid, and their rich music gave intense
pleasure to al present
1t vas. expected that Rev Mr.. Msgoun
would deliver . sort of an oration on the
occsston, but the press Of other mattsrs-
to-wit: disposing Of the strawberries and
cream aforessid-kept him from doing 20.
Late in the evening. however. he made .
short but happy speech.

TRIAL OF THE BRIDGE.-Y esterdav
afternoon the steamer Black Hawk, Capt.
Height, was engaged in running up and
down through the draw of the bridge with
the view of ascertaining whether or not she
could do up the business successfully. She
had on board deputation of gentlemen of
the Railroad Company, and several other
friends of the bridge. She passed back
and forth many times. and without any ac-
cident The weather being fine and the
boat light, and handled by a skillful pilot,
there could have been no excuse for hitting
the pier, even had it SO happened. At
another time and under different circum-
stances, such ss windy day and heavy
cargo. . boat might hit the pier and still be
without fault in her management. What
this trial proves is just this: that staunch.
light boat, with an experienced pilot, no
cargo, NO wind to contend with, may, in
fair weather, pass through the draw any
number cf times without accident. Under
such circumstances the bridge is undoubt-
edly NO material obstruction to navigation.
This any person of common sence would
know without trial But that there are
cases wherein the bridge. by reason of the
miscohstruction and position of the piers. is
an obstruction, we have no more doubt now
than we had before the trial. This, the
Bridge Company know az well as we,though
it is pity it is so.

We understand that the Moline
Water Power Company, do not consider the
late breaking away of the dam at that
place, 10 any damage to them after all.
The cost Of removing the rubbish which has
been swept away, would have been nearly
as great as the actual loss of the property.
The damage is in the main, sustained by in.
dividuals outside the Water Power Co.

The London Post recently announced the
safe arrival of Rufus Choate at Liverpool,
with many complimentary words. 1t knew
that the steamer in which he sailed from Bos-
ton had arrived. and took for granted that he
had completed the voyage, after the manner OF
enterprising American newspapers.
The morality of the city of New York is
well illustrated by the statement that immedi-
ately after the inquest upon the body of the
murdered Virginia Stuart, her murderer, Nc
Donald, was seen with two policemen entering
house of established bad reputation in Cros-
by street, opposite the Metropolitan Hotel );
that the trio remained inside for a considerable
time; and that when they emerged, one of the
policemen bore in his hands two boxes of CT
gars, the other carried several bottles Of wine,
and all three y Y tT IT N most hilarious mood.
The trial of Rev. Jonathan S. Owen, accused
of numbering his wife by poisoning her with
strychnine, was concluded in the Circuit Court
at Charlottesville, Ia, on the Both ult., and re-
suited in verdict of acquittal, the jury being
out about five hours The verdict has given
great dissatisfaction to the citizens, who are
fully satisfied of his guilt.

THE TRANSPORTATION OF MEMoRY.-In
Mrs Stoves new novel of "The Minister'S
Wooing," the following beautiful passage &C.
ours -
Gas there was an honr when the fishermen
of Gallilee saw their Master transtigured, his
raiment white and glistening, and his face like
the light, so are there hours when our whole
mortal life stands forth in celestial radiance.
From our daily lot falls off every weed of care,
from our heartfriends every speck and stain OF
earthly infirmity. Our horizon widens, and
blue, and amethyst and gold, touch every OBJ
iect. Absent friends and friends gone on the
last Journey stand once more together, bright
with an immortal glow, and, like the disciples
who saw their Master floating in the clouds
above them, we say, Lord, it is good to be
here ? How fair the wife, the husband, the
absent mother, the gray-haired father, the
manly son, the bright-eyed daughter Seen
in the actual present, all have some fault some
flaw but absent, we see them in their perma-
ment and better selves. OF our distant home
we remember not dark day, not one servile
care, nothing but the echo Of its holy hymns
and the radiance of its bright days-ot our IA
ther not one hasty word, but only the fullness
of his manly vigor and noble tenderness-o1
our mother nothing of mortal weakness, but 9
gIoried form of love--of our brother, not one
teasing, provoking word of brotherly freedom
but the proud beauty of his nobest hours-o
our sister, our child only what is fairest ant
| sweetest.

DEATH BY HYDRoPHoBIA IN ORANGE. N. ].
a little son of Patrick Murphy, about thirteen
years old, keeper of the lodge at the mountain
entrance of Llewellyn Park, near Eagle Rock.
at Orange, New Jersey, died last evening from
the effects of hydrophobia.
Some time in June he was at work in a nur
sery, when a strange dog passed near him,
and he slapped him with his hand The dog
snapped and inserted his teeth in the back Of
the right hand
About the same time another bow in tbe
neighborhood was bitten by dog and his
friends thought they must do something. and
mad the wound cauterized. This lad hearing
OF 1t, thought he would say nothing of his bite.
lest he should have to be burned also. In n
short time the wound healed up, and nothing
more was thought about it.
Last Wednesday he complained to his
mother OF having a sore arm and stiffness in
the shoulder. 1t remained so until last Satur-
day, when he walked to Dr. Persons Office
about two miles distant. His symptoms were
such as to cause suspicious of the terrible d-
sease mat was working in his system. He
then confessed having been bitten rs above.
The physicians--some ten or more, who met
to see him on Sunday morning-decided that
nothing could be done to save his life.

conversed freely, between the paroxysms

with great suffering, until near o'clock Sun.
day afternoon. He then lay upon the bed and
seemed to suffer most intensely, the sight of
water,or any liquid causing wild agony, though
ne did not attempt to injure any one near
him. Congestion of the brain was evidently
produced when his system became filed with
the virus. lie suffered until evening, when
death kindly relieved the dreadful agony of

1t seems strange that ten doctors should de-
eide that remedies should not be tried in the
above case. They believe bydropoba is in.

SECTIONAL LITERATURE.-Somes sensitive
souls in Alabama have discovered the seeds of
danger in a song called "My Darling Nelly
Gray" which sounds very finely when it is
sung, but very crude and irregular when it is
printed for miscellaneous reading. By the ex-
igencies of the song, "Nelly" is made to
'Toil in the cotton and the cane"
and reflections are interleaved not generally
complimentary to the chivalric Georgians who
are supposed to own her. The sentiment is
much better than the metre, which is "worse
than the common" There is little doubt that
"Nelly" would have taken a more national po-

shot, but unfortunately was not captured at the
