Cat-Astrophe in Lecture Room.
Last evening the rooms OF the Young Mems Chris.
tlan Association, corner Of Twentythird street ana
Fourth avenue, well filed to hear lecture on
the above subject by Judge Israel s. Spencer. The
speaker addressed the audience for nearly hours
during which time he described cities, ruins, pyra-
mids, temples, catacombs, with the greatest accu.
racy imaginable; gave dates figures and distances,
and al without much as once referring to notes.
In fact he had not prepared any at least did not
exhibit any manuscript consequently every one
was greatly surprised ~ the fluent manner in which
he spoke, and the accuracy with which he called
to mind dates aud figures, OF which, az was
necessarily the case he had great deal to say.
During the lecture, and while the vast audience
were breathlessly listening to the eloquent remarks
one had evidently been trying the effects OF turpen-
tine, came rushing In at one Of the side doors which
leads on TO the platform at the rate OF about ten
knots minute, took couple OF turns around
for the OCCASION and then left by the
same door through which he she or IT had entered.
Judge Spencer, as soon az order was restored, de-
scrbed and gave The history OF Egypt from Its first

different classes OF society, their manners, customs
habits, &C., DC, mentioned every ruler that had
ever held sway In the land, and dilated At consider
able length upon the laws religion and mode or
worship OF the country. He also described the great
overflow and the pyramids temples, catacombS and

TEE JERSEY PAVEMENT "RlNGs.n

The great thoroughfare leading from Jersey City
to Newark Grand street. formerly styled the Plank
road. That part Of It running from Mill creek-the
boundary between Jersey city and Bergen-to Hud-
son avenue, In Bergen, Is being recon
structed and 1t was found necessary to
drive piles to great depth the entire
distance on account OF the swamp. This necessi.
taed heavy outlay. But now, that this part OF the
job is completed, comes the crowning work OF all
the paving. No sooner was the meeting OF property
holders called 10 consider the question as to what
pavement should be adopted than the advocates
OF half . dozen pavements rushed into the
Common Council chamber and each had q
hearing. II was nnally resolved that COM
mittee be appointed to select from woodlpavements
and committee on stone pavements. A. 1t Ii gen.
orally believed that the Nioolson is the only wood

are worth notice. The Williams pavement has

pavement has 'shouder also, instead Of strip Of
wood between the blocks and the wood ID subjected

claimed, renders 1t very durable. None OF this

business for the taxpayers. There Is pending IN
