BODY FOUND. - Yesterday the body of a
man was discovered in the Mil Dam, above
Deerlng's Bridge. It was in state of decom
position, and bore the appearance of having
been IN the water some time. By the clothing,
1t was supposed to be the body OF John Crook,
OF Gorham, an employee on the York and
Cumberland Railroad, who came to the city
one day in November last to receive his pay.
He was seen quite intoxicated in the after
noon; and, late in the day, was observed at
tempting to cross on the railroad bridge.
Since that time he has not been seen. 20
Coroner Gould was called, but deemed an
inquest unnecessary. sgoo1 n als.B
The wife of Mr.. Crook was sent for to come
10 and see if she could identify the body.

MISS KINGS READINas.--We judge from
the information that comes to us, that Miss
Kings readinge, at the City Hall, on Wednes-
day evening of next week, will call out one Of
the most crowded audiences Of the season.
Her elegant and spirited rendering of the Au-
thors are attractions enough of themselves;
but added to this is the strong indncement OF
aiding the funds of the Martha Washington
Society in its noble work.
And, by the way, we understand that this
society are intending, in few days, to send a
large quantity Of clothing, delicacies, and lux
uries to the United States Hospital, for the
use Of the sick and wounded soldiers there.
Since the recent publication Of the letter of
Mrs. Hall, one OF the ladies in charge at the
Hospital, to the president of the society, a
number OF donations have been received, such
as suspenders, hapdkerchiefs, jellies, and other
useful articles; and ON Tuesday, a benevolent
and patriotic lady left at the presidents resi-
denee twenty dollars in cash. If there are
others who feel inclined to do likewise, we are
authorized to say that any donations, large OF
small, will be gratefully received by Mrs.
Benjamin Kingsbury, jr., No. IS Oak Street;
or Mrs. Moses Dodge, No. 215 Congress Street

DESTRUCTION OF A CHURCH IN SACCA

Saccarappa. The following are the particu-
lars. Ats O'Clock Monday morning, smoke
was observed issuing from the belfry and
windows. Ga opening the door of the vestry,
In the brick basement, fire was observed drop
ping down from above, in the vicinity of the
stove in the church. The doors of the church
were opened and the audience room was full
of smoke. A successful attempt was made by
raising the windows, to get at the organ and
saVeit. Some of the pew seats and some of the
furniture were saved, but the fire had made
such progress that it was impossible to save
the house. The engine was brought up, and
though there was no organized company for
1t, the citizens took hold and it did good ser
vice. The fire caught dwelling house with
In eight feet of the church, but the engine
quickly drowned the flame and saved the
building. The bell OF the church was melted
by the flames. s,esgs, fer
The church was built some 20 or 80 years
