The Jubilee Building Overthrswn.

About quarter before o'clock last Fri day evening, people in the various parts of the city of Boston were startled by hearing what sounded like peal of thunder, com ing from the southwest People living in the vicinity of the Coliseum for the coming jubilee were quickly aware of the solution, as the gigantic truss, wall and towers of the building were prostrated in mass of ruins. The report of the terrible crash was heard for miles. One of the end towers had reached night of no feet, and the truss destroyed was 40 feet high, and had 8 clear span of 300 feet, nearly 5o,oOo feet of lumber having been used in it's construc, tion. The wind was blowing at the rate ot forty miles all hour when the disaster oc' cured. It had been blowing more or less through the afternoon, and about o'clock 15O feet of the eastern wall of the building, next to the Providence railroad, was blown down. Several watchmen were in the vi cinity of the building, and train of carf was passing, but no one was injured. The accident will cause only temporary delay in the building operations. A large force of men were set at work to clear away the debris, and an increased number of work men commenced at once to put the struc ture in proper shape again.

 Miss Bradley gave one of her public read ings in the Congregational church on Tues day evening, and only small audience was present, yet all speak in the highest terms of the entertainment. Had it been free lecture, undoubtedly large audience would have been present......Th order of Good Samaritans some time since organized here seems to be attracting considerable at- tention, and promises to supercede the al- most defunct order of Good Templars. Not that tue organization itself is to be blamed, but it shows to any one who chooses to give it moments thought, that there is screw loose somewhere, and we think 'twould be decidedly hard work to make many conversions under such circum- stances, and the cause of temperance is not we think likely to greatly prosper under that kind of management. We take it that the object of this and similar orders, is the pgreatest good to the greatest number, there fore we think it not good policy to decline receiving into membership man, because he is not clothed in purple and fine linen every day, and because he smells of the shop, or because he has been known as a drinking man. Hundreds of similar notions which have, if we have been correctly in- formed, directly or indirectly been the cause of the rejection of numerous appli- cants. No, Messrs. Good Templars, it seems to us the object of your institution is or should be, to call sinners, not tht righteous to repentance.

 Obituary.
 MT Belden had been for day or two previous to the day of his death, more than usually occupied upon business that need ed his immediate attention. On the day of his death he did not come home to his din- ner until three o'clock. Before finishing his dinner he called for assistance and inn mediately became unconscious, continuing SO until he died, little before zine o'clock in the evening. A paralytic shock, which, with disease of the heart; naturally rest less temperament and active business life, had weakened his constitution and rendered feeble his health. The event of his sudden death probably was not unexpected to him. self and to his friends. Few men, if any, were better known in this community than he, and no man probably would be more missed. As @ business man he was prompt, energetic and stirring. His habits and principles were of the Puritanic cast. He loved order, and could not endure irrev- erence for superiors, nor disobedience and disorder from children and youth.
 He was in political life discriminating and active; deeply interested in the cduca- tion of the young; sympathetic and efficient in afaiction; always visiting the sick and giving aid to the needy wise counselor and firm friend.
 As religious man he has made no pub lie profession. In early life he became hopefully Christian and has lived life of devotion. In all the affairs of the religious society he has taken a deep interest, and has been willing and hearty supporter. By nature, man of quick. restless dispo- sition, of strong convictions and impulses, which feel deeply the trials of life,-worn by these, his body yielded easily prey to death, and his chastened spirit matured for heaven. His sudden death repeats to us fthe warning, (" Be ye also ready"

The Eruption of vesuvius.

The worst of the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius appears to be over. Dis patches from Naples state that on Sunday the eruption was slowly subsiding. Sever al new craters have opened and the spec tacle, viewed from Naples and from the boats and vessels in the bay is described as one of awful sublimitY. Fortunately the loss of life is less than was at first reported, and the number killed outright being now ascertained to be but twelve. It is said there are no tourists in the number All the villages around the base of the noun tain, seven or eight in number, are deserted, the people have fled in terror. King, Vic. tor Emmanuel has gone to the scene, to di. rect operations for the homeless crowds. During the day on Saturday the whole mountain was concealed from view by the dense clouds of smoke. Near San Sebas tiano there was stream sixteen feet deep, of motion lava flowing down. red-hot, to- wards the town. The devastation, among the vineyards and farms. has beer terrible. Thousands of acres of cultivated land are overrun with ashes and lava. For tunately for some of the villages around the lower slope of the mountain, the ad vance of the river of liquid fire began or Sunday to grow slower and slower, and the motion mass itself began to cool. The ad vance of the burning stream on Saturday was at the general rate of about two-thirds of mile an hour; movement which has nearly ceased. The villages and towns which were in the most danger were Pon. ticelli, Cercola, Saint George, Portici, Torre del Greco, Resini and Boscotecare. The loss of olive and chestnut groves, and vine yards, is undoubtedly very serious.

 The above is partially incorrect. The tunnel connects the two states named, but runs beneath Rhode Island. Its length is 27 feet 3-4 4inches.-1oll0asd County (Ct. ) Press.
 Neither of the above statements are wholly correct. The Hoosic Tunnel runs beneath the ground distance of tour and one-half miles, connecting Boston and North Adams with all Gods creation.- Hoosac V0lsey Nesos, North Adomas.)
