The MoNUMENT.-Quite large num-

Monumental Union, at the Court
House, on Saturday evening. Words
Of encouragement were spoken by Hon.
James L. Wiley, Hon. John Davidson,
Col. Suydam, Mr.. De Caselli, and
others. A plan for the Monument was
adopted-one drafted by Mr.. Davidson
and the Committee directed to have
it photographed, in order that our peo
pie may see just what they are to pay
for. The Union hope that the subscri-
bers will early decide us to the location,
so that the corner stone may be laid
with appropriate ceremony on the 18th
of July. There is no doubt whatever
but that s., 900 can now be readily rails

BeAD We gather the following items
from the annual report of Mr.. A A.
Ward, Warden of the County Jail, sub
mitted to the Freeholders to-day 49,
1852 was the amount expended for
Jail expenses. The average cost per
day of feeding a prisoner is 45 cents.
Expenses last year were $4,079.31. 800
prisoners were admitted during the year
"a being females. Irish, SO Native
10; German, 80; Native Colored, 16 !;
English, 6 French, 2; South American,
l Bohemian, l West Indian Scotch
l. 1T of the above number were resi-
dents of Union County 30 prisoners
were committed for the second time.
ISL prisoners we're confined during last
year.
There are at present 252 books in the
Library-an addition over last year.
Mr.. Ward closes his report as follows :
Most of the year better than the
usual discipline of the prison has been
preserved. The prisoners have been al
lowed more time in the halls, as q re-
ward for good conduct Some of the
younger ones have been induced to
spend a portion of their time in study
I think the darkened cell could be rea-
ly if not quite dispersed with, if a cell
could be provided where contumacious
prisoners could be kept strictly in soil
tary confinement.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. = HORSES
AND CATTLE DESTROYED
MORE TNCENDIARISM.

MORE INCENDIARISM.
At about half-past two O'Clock this
morning, policeman, on duty in the
Fifth ward, sounded the dread alarm of
fire, which was promptly answered by
the police throughout the city. In a
few minutes the bell on the engine
house of No. 2, was "sprung," and the
fremen and hundred of citizens were
hurrying towards the confiagration-
the sky being completely lit up, and the
entire city illuminated by the rays of
Aurora.
A long run in d northerly direction,
brought us to the scene, where we
found the barns, carriage house, sheds
and other out-buildings on the farm of
Mr.. John P. Zosz, at the corner of Van
Buren, avenue and Meadow streets, en-
wrapped in flames.
The buildings had been on fire some
time before the alarm was given, and
being filled with combustibles, the
flames made rapid headway-spreading
fercely to every building within close
proximity, rendering it impossible to
save anything therefrom.
Mr.. Post, who is q contractor, esti-
mates his loss at between $4,000 and
| 1000, with an insurance of $500
inthe Elizabethtown Mutu al and ST.
945 in the Fulton Insurance Company
of New York.
Five valuable horses, four young
COWS, four plows, sleds tone of which
belonged to Mr.. Leggett, a cultivator
one mill, 10 tons of hay, tons of rye
straw, shovels, picks, hoes, axes, and a
hundred other articles, usually needed
and found on first-class farm were to-
tally destroyed.
The house occupied by Mr.. Post and
his family, escaped injury-the wind,
fortunate ly, being in favorable direc-
tion.
Mr.. Post deeply feels the loss of his
horses, having been greatly attached to
them-one team being worth 81, 900.
The fremen, although promptly ON
the spot, were compelled to stand idly
by, and witness the leaping of the
flames, there being nawater within half
a mile and more. Washington Engine
Company No 3, after the flames had
died away, took water from well adj
joining the destroyed barn, but were
soon compelled to 'cease playing, ow-
ing to the want of water. Steamer No.
Q, was the first to reach the fire.
| The fire is the work of incendiaries,
and an examination will likely be made
by the authorities.
| The great want of fire alarm was
again felt this morning We hear fire.
men say that they will not run here
after unless they first see the fire. But
one bell-No. 2's-in the city rang the
alarm this morning, and the conse-
quence was that a few fremen were
compelled to drag heavy engines long
distance. We think it high time that
our city had a proper alarm, and we
cannot too strongly urge the demand ol
both firemen and citizens.

be- Last evening, Rev. S. Van Ben
schoten preached the seventh of the
series of sermons ON Temperance, in st.
Paul's Church, taking for his text Gene
sis, nineteenth chapter, seventeenth
verse; Escape for thy life; look not
behind thee, neither stay thou in all the
plain escape to the mountains, lest
thou be consumed. These were words
of warning, to flee from the danger i'm
pending, and these are the words of
warning that we should raise to-day, to
escape the sweeping, damning flood
tide of Intemperance, which is more
dangerous than the shower of fire and
birthstone was That the ranks of the
600, 900 drunkards of our land were re-
cruited from the moderate drinkers of
wine and lager beer, to fill the place
made vacant by 10000, mostly young
men, who annually fill a drunkard's
grave in this country. Intemperance
was the prime cause of most of the in
sanity and crime, and the Chris
tan church and Christian professors
should take the initiative in this great
reform, and should stand by and Sec
ond the efforts of our Temperance or
CARNATIONS, til at the banner of the cross
and the banner of total abstinence
might float side by side, waited by the
same heavenly breeze. The illustrations
by the speaker were beautifully drawn,
and the whole sermon was listened to
throughout with marked attention. We
hope that much good may result. The
Sth of the series will be presched next
Sunday evening by Rev. j. B. Patter-
son in the Second Presbyterian Church.
