from Barucote: A. Winter, Bamcote, to Secretary Legal Lille, Iothbury

magistrates and police were busiy engaged in Investigating the crcum-

over to SnarfeId, to see the body and the scene OF the murder 1t was
a bleak January day, and Mr.. Cranky didn't think it all necessary.

us have come has scarcely yet stretched out her

honors Her mighty energies have been de-
voted to cutting down forests upturnibg virgin

important physical works shall have been ac-

predict the power and splendor of her achieve

obstacles 10 her power prosperity, and great

enlightened free press marching at the van of
our civilization, may she not establish new
claims to the worlds admiration in the inaugu-
ration of a new era, in which her poets shall
rival. if not excel, those of the first great re-

materialistic tendencies may never obliterate
from the minds and hearts of our people a
genuine appreciation and love for the true aud

The Joint Special Committee of Councils to
consider the bill to exempt the meadow lands
in the Twenty-sixth and Twenty-seventh wards
from taxation, met in the Clerks room yester-
day afternoon but deferred action till they have
visited the district. The farmers aud land
owners have expended S3S 600 on the banks,

Last evening, at half-past five o'clock
George Armbruster, resident of Norristown,
had one foot cut off by train at Ninth and

The Republican members of Select and
Common Councils for 1871 met yesterday in

The alarm of FIRE yesterday afternoon, about
o'clock, was occasioned by the burning of
some material in the basement of the market
house at Sixteenth and Market streets. There
was stored there n large quantity of produce,
valued at about St0. 600, the principal owners of
which were Messrs. Bascom, Woodward, War
wick, Ulmer, Ward 4 Donelson, and Chambers.
The fire was supposed to have been accidental,
and as far as ascertained there was no insurance
Z on the property destroyed.
AT noon yesterday meeting of the South
Street Bridge Commission was held in the office
of Chief Engineer and Surveyor Kneass, in the
Survey Department building, Fifth street, be-
low Walnut. The business transacted was of a
routine character 1t Yas stated that thus far
I the sum of S15, 600 has been expended by the
Y Commission, while the appropriation of S775-
GOO made by Councils will be required in the
construction of the proposed new bridge. Until
recently, work on the bridge has been pushed
forward rapidly. The abutment on the west
hank is finished, and the foundations for the
piers have been laid. Now the Commission
has encountered a difficulty with the rail-
roads crossing at South street, on the west bank
of the Schuylkill 1t seems that, in order 10
conform with the grade of the Amshouse pro-
perty, it is necessary to build the approach to
the bridge over the railroad tracks, five in num-
ber, one belonging to the Media road, three to
the Junction road and one to the Pennsylvania
Extension road covering 1S0 feet of ground
The objection lies in building piers to meet the
wishes of the respective roads, and at the pre-.
sent time the commission is engaged in devising
o plan whereby the difficulty may be overcome

KING WILLIAM ANNOUNCES THE ENTIRE DEFEAT
OF THE ARMY OF THE LOIRE.
BERLIN, Nov. 30.-The Queen has received
the following despatch from King William:-
TUESDAY, Nov. 29.-Frederick Charles re-
ports the complete defeat of the army of the
Loire on Monday, in which the French had the
Goth Corps, probably the 18th and portions of
the 18th and 10th Corps engaged
A thousand French were found dead on the
field, 1000 wounded, and 1000 prisoners.
General de Paladines is reported wounded.
German loss 1000, among them few officers.
LONDON, Nov 30.-The Globe this afternoon
published the announcement of the capituatior
of the entire Army of the Loire. The report
can be traced to no authentic source. Nothing
was known of such an event at the German lega-
tion here at o'clock tonight.
LONDON, Nov 30.-(Special to the New York
World )--Letters by balloon from Paris private
letters from Versailles, and dispatches from
Berlin, all concur in representing that the pros
poets of the French are extremely gloomy. The
Germans in the late engagements with the Army
of the Loire lost enormously, still their posi-
tions have been maintained. The efforts OF
Aurelles to advance to the relief of Paris have
been foiled The provisions in Paris are almost
exhausted; scarcely fortnight's supply mains.

Col 4: L. sneWdeg,s Address az the AunI-
The proceedings of the 123d anniversary of
the ST. Andrews Society, held last evening,
will be found on our eighth page. Among the
speeches delivered was one by Col. A. Louden
Snowden, in response to the toast to "Poets,
Poetry, and Songs" Col Snowden spoke in
his usual happy vein as follOIs -
The mere mention of the sentiment Just read
in our hearing stimulates the Imagination,
quickcns the blood aud fills all our hearts with
the most delightful emotions. Old age and
youth alike bow before the majesty of song,
aud acknowledge the power of true poetic
genius.
OF our own number there are those whose
whitening locks mark them as past the heyday
and summer of their lives, vet whose eyes
brighten and whose whole being seems inspired
as by supernatural power when some song of
the long ago is sung or some poetic Inspiration
repeated in their hearing.
From the earliest recorded time down
through the weary ages wherever there have
been enlightened minds pure thought, or noble
sentiment there poetry has held a place aud
been acknowledged as a power. Whether il be
the 'sweet singer of Israel, wearing the purple
of royalty, or the wandering Trouoadour,
chanting through the mountains, they alike
commanded the hearts of the people.
Granting that poet have mental culture, re-
fined feelings, knowledge of men and things,
Imagination, passion, and power of expression,
there still remain two essentials without which
there can De no enduring popularity or power
The first of these is that all poetic thought aud
utteranee must be pure and elevated in its in
spiraton aud teaching. ''Men, taken in the
aggregate, judge rightly even though they ac
wrongly This is fully verified in the history ol
poetry, since no work essentially immoral ha;
ever maintained an enduring popularity
Splendid were the mental endowments o.
Aristophsnes and Pucele, the immortality anC
witty licentiousness contained in their writing
have long since condemned them to obseurity
This is the unYarying verdict of the presen
upon the past, and the future will give M
greater immunity to immoral teachings thar
does the present.
The socond ess gltial is simplicity ia thoagh
aud language. He is the greatest of all poet
nhO sHays InOst minds and touches most hearts
