FIRE About IL o'clock, on Monday last, a fire
broke out in the engine house of the Northern Cen
trail Railroad Co., at tbs lower end of the Borough
and was entirely consumed. The FIRE is supposed to
have originated by an engine standing in the house
The hands having all left for dinner and the watch
man being in another part of the building the FIRE
was not discovered until it had fair headway on
the roof of the building. 1t being of frame mate
rial the house burned very rapidly, and as there
is no fire department in the place it was useless to
make any effort to check the flames. Most of the
tools in the shops were saved together with all the
engines except the one in which the fire is supposed
10 have originated, which had all the wood work
burned of oft. This Is the second time the com.
panys shops have been destroyed by fire within the
last five years. We hope the company will put up
good substantial brick buildings so that they will
not meet with similar misfortune in the future

RECEPTION OF THE PREsByTEgIly GENE

reception OF the Presbyterian General Assem-
bles, now holding their meetings In this city, took
place last evening at the Apollo Hall, corner Of
Broadway and Twentyeighth street. The hall,
which Is very spacious one, neat, though plain,
was brilliantly lighted. The visitors commenced to
arrive at eight O'Clock and continued coming in
from that hour till after nine when there could
not have been less tnan from 800 to 1000 persons
present. Among those In attendance were several
clergymen chiefly belonging to the Presbyterian de-
nomination and representing the various congrega-
tons Of that body In the United States and British
provinces Several ladies and gentlemen appeared
in evening dress, but the majority Of the fair sex
who graced the festive scene with their presence
wore their bonnets and found seats in the gallery,
from which they had full view Of each fresh arri-
The hour fixed for refreshments was nine O'Clock;
but before that time came round there was some
vocal music, the musicians consisting OF ladies and
gentlemen, being accompanied by pianist. A
quartet composed OF four young men from different
chos OF the CITY, also sang, TO the evident satsfac-
1t was taken for granted by some Of the audience
that, this being reception there would be little or
no speaking; but In this they disappointed; for
The Rev. DR.. ADAMS, Of Madison square church,
with other clergymen, assembled the platform. The
reverend doctor gave at some length definition Of
the word reception. He expressed hope that they
would receive one another as Jesus Christ would re-
ceive them. Much OF what the reverend gentleman
5uIu was w lully HlOIc ludu Out-Hdu Tie
audience, owing to the buzz OF conversation that
was kept up and the noise Of passing vehicles in the
street.
The Rev. DR.. JAcoBUs, Moderator Of the Old School
General Assembly, was the next speaker, but his
remarks were also totally inaudible except to
those who stood or sat Just close by him.
Addresses were also delivered by the Rev. Dr.
Cr0sbie, OF New York, and the Rev. DR.. 0rmiston,
OF Hamilton Canada West, the latter expressing
the satisfaction he felt at the expected union Of all
the Presbyterian congregations as one body under
the blue banner Of the Covenant.
The speaking was brought to close by the Rev.
Dr. Palmer ana the Rev. Dr. Cox.
Refreshments In an adjoining apartment were
now announced, and the announcement caused
quite rush to the supper table, where many OF the
delicacies OF the season were provided. The stew
ards attended politely to the guests, and at about
eleven O'Clock the whole company had separated,
highly pleased with the entertainment.
