Mr.. Bcecher preached last night to an immense
crown In Plymouth church. There seemed to be
general anticipation during the day that he would
refer to the Boston fire, and the anticipation was
realized. There was q touching reference to the
calamity in the opening prayer, and instead
OF the usual announcement OF text at
the beginning OF the sermon Mr.. Beecher reversed
the order, and closed an address on Boston and
the fire with an appropriate text lie said: IL
suppose there is not a man, woman or child here

fallen city near to our borders whose name IL

the first train would start for that place. Time
tables were In order and eagerly scanned, and
when 1t was ascertained that no train would de-
part from the depot prior to seven O'Clock In the
evening murmur OF dissatisfaction and uneasiness
ran around. The Directors OF the Boston and New

hopes and poverty supreme, were visible In every
direction; but here and there would appear one
possessed of stoical expression worthy Of Mark
