The Commercial learns that the total
receipts OF the State Fair were little
more than $4,000 which, with the $1,000
subscribed by the city and citizens OF
Bangor, make the total assets $4,000 in
round numbers, while the expenses, in
GLIDING the premium list, is about Sl9. 900,
and that the Trustees at their meeting,
Saturday, unanimously voted to procure
loan of $4,000 TO cover the loss, giving
their personal security for the same 50
that all liabilities of the Society will be
met when due. A large portion of the
preparations made for holding the Fair
this year will be available for next year;
so that the expenditures for the Fair in
1873 will be probably $4,000 to $4,000
smaller than for 1872.

Terrific Hurrieane-The Food Fund Of
100000 People Utterly De-
strOyed.
Immense Loss Of Life-StarVatiOn and
Plague Imminent-LOss,T Twenty
Million Dollars.

NEW YORK, June A correspondent
of the London Times, writing from Zan-
zibar in reletion to the hurricane which
occurred there on the fifteenth of April,
says, the reefs surrounding the harbor
are studded with wrecks. The Sultan
had lost all his vessels with the excep-
ton of one small steamer Reports
from the interior lead us to believe that
not only have most of the cocoanut
trees been UproOted, but that all the
cassava, sweet potatoes, Indian corn,
rice and other more UnimpOrtant crops,
forming the property of perhaps eight
hundred thousand people, and on which
they depend for subsistence, have been
utterly destroyed. The effects on the
island generally were similar to what
occurred in my own house. / have no
hesitation in saying that utter ruin
prevails, and that famine, with
all its attendant horrors and
dangers is imminent. If the cyclone
has liberated eight hundred thousand
slaves, something ought to be done for
their maintenance, for unless their mast
ers expe1d their all in providing for them,
death from disease and starvation must
ensue. In Zanzibar, there are at pres
ent no means for meeting such calam-
ity. No such disaster as this has ever
befallen the island, or was ever antiei-
pated. The loss of life in the town and
harbor has been immense. The storm
was SO terrific and unexpected that the
means of safety could not be used. The
native ghows with their crews sank in
the harbOr and many of the inhabitants
perished in the wreck of their houses.
The damage done on the fifteenth will
probably amount to four OF five million
pounds sterling-that is, more than
half of the commerce of Zanzibar has
been destroyed for years. 1t is unques-
tionable that the impending effects
upon the native population may be such
as we can hardly form an estimate.

LAST OF ANTIOCH.
More than Twenty-Five Hundred People
Killed by the Late Earthquake.
Towns DestrOyed-A TorreHt Of Death
Breeding, Stagnant, Black WRter.

New York, June 4.-The London
telegraph. of May oath says a private
letter gives interesting particulars of the
earthquake which occurred in Antioch
April Both Two-thirds of the houses in
the town have been utterly ruined, IN
eluding the most ancient and durable
public buildings, ana the remaining
houses were so greatly damaged that
there is no possibility of occupying
them. The Inhabitants are in great
misery, living in tents outside of town;
and are in deep grief on account Of the
loss of relatives and property. The sac
rifice Of life has been very great, fifteen
hundred Mahometans and two hundred
and fifty Christians and Jews being re-
ported missing. Close to Antioch is the
isle of Zuada, in which all the houses,
numbering about a thousand, are
ruined. In Elonshia and EIadida
there is scarcely a building left
standing. Eljabac and BaellOck are also
entirely ruined: three hundred persons
perished in the latter place when the
earthquake took place. Mount Bitias
was split into two pieces, and torrents OF
black water burst forth, tainting the at
mosphere with a strong, offensive Od0r.
Shepherds near the coast state that the
sea rose one hundred feet higher than
usual. Eight days after the earthquake
occurred, a Greek priest went into a
large church in Antioch to seek for plate,
and while among the ruins, which had
accumulated to the extent of seven on
eight feet, he heard a feeble voice inn
ploring assistance. and on proceeding to
the spot he found young lady, eighteen
years of age, deeply imbedded in the
debris. She told him that she and a
young brother had been buried alive.
The priest procured assistance and the
sufferers were extricated, but the young
lady has since died, and the brother con-
tinues in a dangerous state.

WASHINGTON.
Report Of the Committee on the Arms
Investigation

WASHINGTON, June 4.-Senators
Buckingham, Pratt, Howe and Stewart,
to-day reported from the Committee OF
Investigation into the New York Gus
tomhOuse. They say no mOnstrOus
abuse has been discovered in connection
with the general order business, unless
it be the misrepresentation not to say
mendacity piled, on it. There is not in
the testimony or outside of II the faint
est suggestion that Leet was indebted to
any kind of favoritism, political or per-
sonal, for his employment on General
Grants staff, while the President in a
letter to Grinnel merely attested Leet's
fitness for the business and did not
ask any appointment for him. The fact
of Leet's prefeTment on the ground of
personal merit is well attested, and the
testimony proves conclusively that
neither Generals Porter nor Babcock
had any interest whatever with Leet.
Not a single gallon of the millions which
passed through the stores of Leet &
Stocking, have been lost. In the
judgement of the committee the General
order stores ought not to be controlled
by the steamship companies, for the
government should have as security for
the payment of duties the possession of
the goods, and the bond of the importer
for use in case of loss or destruction of
the goods. There is no evidence of pres
ents rendered or accepted by Custom
house officers from their subordinates,
or preference given to any of the latter
to prevent some payments made by Off
GERS above the amount fixed by law to
secure additional services, but the prac-
tice has come down from some former
general committee, and an effort is being
made to abolish it. The committee
condemned another practice on the part
of the officers, in accepting a cOnsidera-
ton for the passage of personal baggage,
bnt say there is no evidence of failure
to dismiss officers detected therein.
The committee suggests that unclaimed
goods be received at the pier by the
general-order man and carted to a ware
house, and when ordered to public stores
delivered TO the contractor. The reve-
nues, say The committee, must have
profited rather than lost by the cOmpro-
misses. 1t does not appear that officers
derived any pecuniary profit from these
compromise except in the way Of hav-
ing been legally allowed mOieties. 1t
is admitted that the officers attend po-
liticaI conventions, but efforts have been
made TO discourage such attendance,
which, however, is no greater
than formerly. The committee re-
spects Greeley's view of the influence
Of the Customhouse over New York pol
itics, as there is no doubt of the use of
money for political purposes; and the
committee see no reason why salaried
officers may not be properly invited to
contribute therefor.
