DEATH OF VIcE-PREsIDENT WILSON,
Hon Henry G. Wilson, Vice President of the
United States, died at Washington at eight
O'Clock on Monday morning it is supposed
from the bursting Of 4 blood vessel in the
brain. The news was unexpected, as it was
reported that Mr.. Wilson had quite recovered
from his illness aud was about to return to
Massachusetts,. For his sudden death we have
been in some degree prepared, but the actual
event brings with It as much and as sincere
regret as that of any other public man. No
che has stood higher in the esteem and re-
spect of the American people than Henry
Wilson. They have always believed in his
entire purity, honesty and devotion to the
public interests. He was 60 years of age
Beginning life in very humble way, as q
shoemaker, he FIRST became known in politics
in 1910 as a member Of the Massachusetts
Legislature He was elected United States
Senator in 1855, and has ever since been con-
spicuous in national affairs. His place as
President of the Senate will be filed by Hon.
Thomas w. Ferry, Of Michigan, who was
elected presiding officer, pro tenn, by that
body last March, Mr.. Ferry now stands next
in the line of succession to the President of
United States.

A PHILADELPHIA BRIDGE BUKNED.--
Philadelphia, Nov. 20th--The wooden bridge
across the Schuylkill river at Market street,
connecting West Philadelphia with the east
ern section of the city, was destroyed by fire
this evening. A gas main was being laid
across it, and one of the workmen took
lighted match to find leak which had been
noticed for some days. when the gas exploded,
setting fire to the structure, and in three
quarters of an hour it fell into the river. The
bridge led directly to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road depot, and the Company used it in bring
ing cars to the large commission houses on
the eastern side of the river. 1t also afforded
access to one of their largest freight depots
The structure was valued at about Ave hun
ircd thousand dollars and was insured for a
small amount of money. On account of the
great loss the burni,sg Of the bridge will cause
to merchants in delaying their goods and i'm
peding travel, Mayor Stokley has called a
consultation of engineers for tomorrow, and
special meeting Of the City Council for Mon
day, to take into consideration measures for
Immediately rebuilding the bridge. 1t was
erected in 1906, and the original piers and
woodwork remained up to-day, except SO
much as was changed by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company, who febdilt the structure
about fifteen years since, to accommodate
their heavy cars. Martin Clifton, a farmer,
and Patrick White a workman, were injured.

THE DELAWARE RIvER.-The commission
Fly of water for the city of Philadelphia, pre-
sented the result of therlabors to the coun-
ellis of that city, few days since. From their
report we take the following interesting ex-
tracts az On the Delaware several plans were
proposed. The Water Gap plan, by gravity
to the city the New Hope pumping and con-
duit plan the New Hope canal and conduit
plan /; and the Scndder's Falls canal and con-
duit plan, the two latter requiring the water
to be pumped up after reaching the city. In
order to attain sufficient height on the river to
allow the water to flow by gravity to the city
into proper distributing reservoir, 1t is neces-
sary to taxa the water as far up the river as
Belyidere, about eleven miles below the Water
Gap, at an elevation of 232 feet above the
tide The line would follow the river from
Belvidere to New Hope, fifty miles, and from
there, by an interior route, shorter than the
river, reach the city in about forty miles, max
ing the entire length of the conduit about
ninety miles. Our calculations shows that
the cost would not be less than 100000, 900,
which renders its adoption inexpedient. 1t
may be assumed that at Easton, ninety-six
miles by the river above Philadelphia, the
water in the Delaware is as pure as the best
waters, thence to tide water at Trenton it re-
vows ~ hNuhoCi VI Pulo V9kpi biiOuV"tiVot
probably adequate to thorough dilution of
all injurious matters from country drainage
which now enter that part of the stream
The Delaware continues to have a rapid cur
rent all the way to tide water. 1t may there
fore with truth be claimed that the natural
fresh water flow of the Delaware river meets
the tidalwaters above Philadelphia, essential
ly pure stream, perfectly adapted to the
supply of that great city. The minimum flow
of the Delaware att yeptcn Falls, is not less
than 1000 cubic feetspe second, or 900,00O
gallons per minute; ~hicilsfn day amounts
to 1, zoe, O00, 900 gallons. In general it is very
much more, and it's average flow throughout
the year is estimated att, 5s2 GOO, 600 gallons,
based on a drainage of 5000 square miles. and
allowing only eighteen inches, or about forty
per cent. of the rainfall to reach tide water. =
With minimum flow Of Zoo, 000, 900 gallons
per day, and an average of 4,582, 900, 900, the
natural flow of the Delaware acts as a vast
conservative power to maintain the upper It'd
al flow of the river above the city Of Philadel-
phia fresh and pure."

THE MOSQUITO.

The mosquito, though insignificant In size,
fills very large place in peoples attention,
especially during Summer. At all seasons
of the year the newspapers show him thou
sands of times more attention than the nigh
ty elephant receives and SO this little insect
proves that the way to attract notice ind this
is lesson to advertisers and business mem Is
to sing your song short and present your bill
often. Little and often" is the mosquitoes
motto. Once in while the elephant gets on
a rampage and makes things lively, but gen.
orally he is dull and inactive. But the mos
quito-he is constantly making sharp points,
buzzing around, and waking up sleepy people.
When he sings people listen, and when he at
tends to the more serious busin css of his life,
he makes adecided impression. Yet for all this,
he is not a popular fellow. People talk about
him, but it is to abuse him, and the newspapers
spell his name three or four different ways, but
they praise him never. There u.s. however,
one exception to this general statement In
The Pastoral n church newspaper, pub
1ished in Camden, our friend the editor, Rev.
G. r. Hartranft, comes to the rescue of the
mosquito from abuse, and speaks a good word
for him. We are glad that he has at least one
friend. We would not dare to ask our read
crs to believe anything good of the mosquito
while ho is present in the flesh,' but at this
season, while he is absent on visit to no one
knows where, some may even be led to believe
that he even has higher mission than that of
annoying humanity. In very entertaining
article, Rev. Mr.. ii. says:
The mesquite, in its laryal state, is found
in countless millions swarming every stale
pool Of water If we take tub of water
from pond in which are none of these tiny
creatures, it will become speedily offensive
but il we allow it to swarm with them, it will
be kept perfectly sweet. This experiment
proves the important Office the larvae of the
mosquito performs in every stale body of wat
er throughout the length and breadth of our
land. The larvae of the mosquito is perfect
gormandizer never ceasing to eat day or
night from the hour of its birth, until it en-
tiers upon the pupa, or second condition of it's
life. When we think of the immense num-
bers thus feeding in the waters Of the earth,
we can imagine the vast quantity of poison
GUS matter they destroy, which would other
wise be reeked upon the air In tho pupa
state, which lasts about two weeks, it eats
nothing then, as we have shown, he comes
forth thing of beauty, and enters upon an
other useful period of life. In this perfect
state they are Notwithstanding up the
poisonous juices from every dead particle of
animal and vegetable matter scattered about
our homes or the fields or the forest In
vast clouds they settle on the marshes, about
the nndrained and filthy places, earnestly, I'M
weariedly fulfilling their high and bencficent
work, viz the publication of the material
word for the happy abode Of man.

~ The Portland (or.) Bsllaia gives The
following account Of q frightful accident
which occurred . fev days sinos In the
southern portion OF the city. near the
First street bridge: "a widow lady
named Borrower. residing with her
father OF the same name, went 70 the
barn, q story and o hall building. to
givo q COW some hay. The hay is kept
In the upper story Of the barn, and to
reach II Q frail ladder Wa employed.
Mm. Borrower ascended the ladder to
the loft, and gathering an armful OF hay
started down again. When part way
down, and whom the COW 10 DO fed was
at the bottom. the ladder gave way, pro-
cipitating tho woman 10 the ground.
The fall frightened and snraged the COW
both Oh the same time, and before Mrs..
BORROWER, who was somewhat stunned
by the jar, could rise 10 her feet, the
enragsd animal plunged Of her with
lowered head. and drove u OF her
horns to the depth Of about Ave inches
into the tioshy part OF ths voman's right
leg, between tho knee anil the thigh
on the inside. OF course, tho woman
shrisked foarfully with pain, which
snraged the COW al tho moro, and the
animal started around the Enclosure with
the poor woman impaled. like . fly upon
q needle. upon the sharp point Of her
horn. tearing tho flesh In q shocking
manner The frst scream Of the wo-
man fortunately were heard by her
father and brother, for o moment after
the iirst plunge Of tho maddencd beast
she tainted; and when they came to her
assistance they had 10 catch The animal
before they could remove the woman
from her terrible position. When lib
Grated the animal walked away with
hesh attached TO her horn and blood
streaming over her head In all directions;
and whom Mrs. Borrower WAS conveyed
to the house many thought her dead"
Al last accounts the unfortunate woman
was suffering great pain, and her con.
dition was considered quite critical.
