By one o'clock, the city was almost deserted,
thousands of people having gone out to the
Jubilee grounds.
The street railway cars ran only to Fifth and
Market streets, and though running very fire.
quently, crowds were waiting and quickly filed
each, as it arrived.
The dolly Warden" mules pull we'll.
During the parade, this morning, all the other
streets but those along which the procession
marched, were almost wholly deserted.
Almost all who can possibly go are out along
the Brandywine to-day.
There were great many strangers in town
this morning, and the city cars ran full.
Flags are displayed in different parts Of the
city.
Everybody admired the parade.
The Fort McHenry Band, Of Baltimore, arriv-
ed at 1890, last evening, and serenaded e. +,
James, Chief Marshal, and others interested in
the Jubilee.
Six extra cars we're added to the up train on
the Delaware R. r. this morning, to meet the
increased demand Of travel incident to the Jubi'
lee.
The city wears much OF a holiday attire, to-
day. Many business places closed early this
morning, and others have done so since noon.

 It is so long since any direct communca, ton from this village has appeared in the NEWS, that you may possibly be led to SUD- pose that we, like the celebrated Rip Van Wrinkle, have been indulging in a twenty years nap, but I assure you it is not so, we are the same wide-awake, busy, driving people as of yore- Merchants, farmers and mechanics are full of business and pushing it with their customary vim. The young people are chasing pleasure in series of sociables. pic, nbcs and excursions, which, by the way, are so tempting that they not unfrequently attract many to whom the appelation of young would be misnomer. In political luatters there is something of muddle, thel are Greeley tics, Grantites, Hittites, Hivi,tes. Jebusites, &c, but so far as heard from the first are acknowledged to lead by full length, con- sequently white hats and one-le, ,yged pants are numerous.-I hope our farmers will generally make it point to be represented by their products in the coming fair at Falls Village, there are, believe, no better farmers in the county and if they will but make the effort they can add largely to the success of the undertaking and do credit to their town. Your correspondent has been securing around his little premises to dis cover something worthy of the occasion, but alas he excels in but one thing, i. e., re- markable size and luxurient growth of weeds OUIS,

Vest C0rnacdW Recietoed. d.-West Corn wall is running -over-full of politics. A lady told us last Saturday, that if all the men wanted to be Gr- men, they could be but the women were all Or men, every one of them; So there now We are sure that while we were there, we heard more political discussion than altnse ether of what we had heard before during the present campaign. Red hot is a mild term to ap- ply to them, and if we are judge of an others feelings by their countenance, we are sure that each and every one of them felt mean enough after their excited talks,
 if in fact they did not feel little ashamed of themselves for saying so much they knew wasn't true.-Pratt & Foster say they are selling great many goods for the pres ent dull season, but say they are going to advertise soon when they will sell more. Cochrane & Scoville have fixed their store up in good shape, and with their fine stock of groceries, are driving good trade. The Sherwood, Cochrane, Falois, Gold, Sanitary Heating Co. are up to their shoulders in their stacks of castings and sich, putting together their celebrated heaters as rapidly as possible, not being able they say, to more than half meet the demand for them. Those heaters are going to make them rich best heater yet invented, and they are rap
 idly coming into general use The boys have worked long and hard at these heaters, and deserve the success they are now hay ing. The shear business is little dull as we'll as some other kinds of business, but somehow the two shops manage to grind out about the average number of shears every day.-Gcorse Henry, the drug dealer, says it doesn't make any difference whether Grant or Greeley is president, he can tinker up dose that will kill or cure both of them at one shot.-Stage driver Clark is consdera- bly, excited over his mammoth twin cucum- bers, and sure enough, they are summers for twins, grown together their whole length, and good long ones too.-Last Fri- day, Harry Howard was twenty-one year S old, and the event was celebrated by a grand hop in Miller's hall, which was all very nice if George Hewes didn't make so much noise about it. Left hands around' : Fore and aft down the middlc,' etc., etc. If there were any this side of Stka who didn't hear him, it was not his fault. George is a capital good fellow and, eau holler louder than any other man iD tbis region of twice his size. West Cor nwall grows rapidly every time new house IS built, and one of these days will be q large place.

 The Good Samaritan society of this place, held their semi-annual meeting last Thurs day evening, the 22d, for the choice of officers. MT. Robert F. Pendleton was chosen president, Mir. $. D. Northway having declined a re-elecrion, he was cho- sen secretary. The society is in flourish ing condition, and will hold meetings once in four weeks, the next being on the 18th of September. There is no liquor sold in the village at the present time, and this has been brought about by the force of public opinion, not by attempting to enforce the law. The society was organized about seven months since, and have held meetings most of the time every two weeks. Over three quarters of the inhabitants are mem- bers of the society. Among those who have addressed us at different times, Mir. T. l.. Norton, of your town, was one that was much liked and we hope to hear him again.. Many went from here on the ex- cursion on Saturday, the 24th inst; among the number was Mrs. Olive Miner, a worthy lady, Fl years of age, who had never be- fore rode on car or steamboat. She en- joyed the trip greatly. Y.

Bridge.

Cornwall Bridge continues quiet with the exception of Il little excitement over camp meeting last week; some making prepara- tions and going, while others made all nec- essary preparations, but when the cars were ready had not made proper calculations, and had taken one drink too much, or had not got sufficient amount of finger rings,
 sleeve buttons, etc. One young man, after getting the above mentioned articles in his
 possession, had to wait for his parient to settle the bill amounting to $45. When fairly out of this, his father thought to give
 the young man little good advice by tell ling him to go home and go to work and behave himself, but the young hopeful of Fl or 22 replied in this wise: Because a fellow gets into little show you are going to come back on me- Now I want some more moneyto go to camp meeting" He his money and went nis way rejoiclng...... l The tobacco growers in this vicinity are very busy at this time gathering in their | crops. This cool weather alarms them. Even our friend Z0l. comes over every
 morning to get help. He has very nice | crop and is not little anxious to get it in l in good order, which he will undoubtedly ] do as he has one of those tobacco hangers, which no tobocco grower can do without l when they have had trial. Kellogg & ! Skiff have them for sale, and no doubt
 would let you try one if you give them a
 call. The Cornwall Bridge Iron Co. are
 making some Improvements in some ot

 They are also grading the road with cin

The passen- gers were aroused ana warned to secure
 ife-preseryers. In Il short time the lower part of the boat, engine, etc, went down, about five miles from shore. A large num- Der of the passengers and crew climbed upon the upper deck, part of which parted from the hull and floated off. The waves rolled high and the rain continued, but the upper works continued to float and struck the shore just below the Ocean House on the Atlantic beach, about quarter to eight o'clock this morning.
 The Metis had on board one hundred and four passengers, and forty-ive deck hands, walters, etc. Capt. Barton, of Bristol, R. | l., George B.
