DR.. LErFMANs LEcTuRE.-Dr. Lehman, OF
Philadelphia, under the auspices OF tile Delaware
Institute of Mechanic Arts and the Wilmington
Institute, delivered an interesting lecture Oh
Explosive Materials" to large audience, last
evening at Institute Hail. The lecturer illus
trated his discourse with numerous explosive
materials, the various colored flames beautifully
Illuminating the room and much interesting the
audience.
The lecturer reviewed, briefly, the history of
materials used in warfare in early times, spoke
of the manufacture of gunpowder, and of its
constitutnts- sulphur, nitrate OF potash and
charcoal-and in this connection showed an ex'
pertinent with burning alcohol, sprinklng on The
iiame q mixture of iron filings and
gun powder The iron burned
in the flame, with brilliant sparks, while the qua
powder fell through the flame and became igni-
ted when the alcohol was burned down TO the
bottom Of the plate. The lecturer exhibited
specimens Of white powder, explained how rap
idly it burned, and how destructive it is. II wa
announced that second free lecture would be
given by DR.. d. H. Rand of Philade phit.

SEVERE CoLD JUST NORTH OF Us.--A represen
tative of the COMMERCIAL returned on Wednes-
day from Montgomery county, Pa, having spent
the night about fifteen miles out of Philadelphia
(and probably forty farther North than this clty)
with fearful reports of how cold it was up there
on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. he
insisted that the thermometer got down low
as seventeen degrees below zero in that neigh.
borhood and in others to thirteen and fifteen
below. This story sounded steep. Suci' cX-
treme cold there, is, we believe, without prece-
dent, the average temperature being very little
lower, say two or three degrees-than tlias OF
Wilmington. We were disposed to believe thai
our representative must have been sitting up all
night with the Grangers and had the low price
of wheat or the damaged condition of the potato
crop little mixed with his impress seions about
the mercury. 1t appears however. that he must
be right. We observe that at n rristown the
Herald reports the thermometer III degrees be-
low, at o'clock on Wednesday. 1t seems to
have been veritable "cold wave" spreading over
that locality and not extending far In Whining
ton the mercury stood at to 10 above zero.

Evergreen Cemetery.

Much comment and feeling is manifested
In the community at the action of the trus-
tees of Evergreen cemetery, in cutting
down the noble pines which have hither-
to been the beauty and adornment of this
city of the dead. 1t is reported that many
of the'trees have been cut down In such a
manner as to leave the burial places devoid
of the pleasant associations with which
friends have connected their dead. We
would suggest that ere the demolition of
the trees in the cemetery is completed
that the woodman should stay his axe,
and find out the sentiments of the people,
especially of the proprietors, in reference
to what some deem as almost a sacrilige-
an invasion of their rights. This seems to
us to be subject in which, at least. those
having lots in the cemetery, should have a
direct voice. There are hundreds of ceme-
teries in the country where thousands of
dollars are being expended to plant trees,
while our own loved and pleasant Ever
green cemetery is being dismantled of
what was its browning glory, and added to
the sacredness of this beautiful resting
place of our dead.

The rain last Tuesday was very accept
able. Vegetation was suffering severely
from the drouth previously.
The new photographer in Dunshees
block 'pulled up" and left at low twelve
Tuesday, leaving nobody to settle up out
standing accounts.
Slate, the tailor, in Holly's block, has
suspended work-his goose wanted to set,
and he was willing to have her. He went
to celebrate the fourth of July and has not
returned.
More extended researches have recently
been made under the auspices of the Bris-
tol scientific club, for Indian relics on the
plains about Bristol village. Several
thousand specimens have already been Sc
cured. In one small patch of ground seve-
raj quarts of arrow and spear points, and
chips were secured in few minutes. The
materials used for these implements were
mostly secured at the foot of the mountain
only few rods distant. Only few speci-
mems of imported stone have thus far been
found.

THE wEYDRIDaE CLERICAL SCANDAL
Trial Of Rev. @. w. 8. Porter, at Dandy.

The church trial of Rev. G. w. s. Por-
ter, by the Methodist Episcopal church. for
adultery, and charges made by L. d. Penn
Der, commenced Tuesday, at the church in
Dandy Borough, before the presiding elder,
Rev. Mr.. Watson, of the Burlington dis
trict. The hearing was opened at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon and continued through the
evening and is still in progress at this
writing, having opened at 0 o'clock on
Wednesday. Quite number Of ministers
and other gentlemen from abroad are pres
ent at the trial, among whom are Rev. :.
Mexican, Fl. Edward, N. Y, Rev. A. j.
Ingalls,, Brandon, Rev. G. r. Hawley,
Shelburn, Rev. A. Heath, Vergennes, Rev.
W. ]. Heath, Burlington, Rev. W. Bull
lard, weybridge, Rev. J. L. Slauson,
Whiting, James M. Slade, esq.,, Middle
bury, j. J. Rowe, Poultney, DR.. Cullen
Billiard, New Haven, A. J. Stow. o. r.
Britell, and N. E. Parkill, weybridge, and
Sanford Washburn, Middlebury. The
counsel for Mr.. Porter, are James NJ.
Slade, ESQ.,, and Rev. s. Mexican Rev. s.
Washburn is the prosecuting attorney for
the church.
The trial has been somewhat private, and
only those who were invited have attended.
Miss Hattie Allen, the young lady with
whom Mr.. Porter is charged with having
the illicit intercourse, has come out against
him in her evidence, making clean breast
of the whole affair, giving dates, times and
places. Letters have also been introduced
Miss Allen, although having no signature,
but admitted by her to have come from
him. Miss Allen has been on the witness
stand some nine hours, and it is said has
not been crossed once, but has told good,
straight story.
The examination seemed TO be thorough
on the part of the church, and no effort
seemed to have been made at any time to
cover up or evade anything connected with
the scandal. "Let the truth come out"
seemed to be the object of the church, and
unless Miss Allen can be impeached, we do
not see how Mr.. Porter can extricate him
self from the difficulty in which he seems
to he placed. Mr.. Porter's wife is present
at the trial, and seems to be lady of in
telligence, and whether she believes in the
Innocence or guilt of her husband we are
unable to say. What the verdict of the
jury in the trial by the church will be, we
do not know, but do not see by the evil
dence shown thus far, how it can be other
wise than guilty.
Mr.. Porter was arrested on Wednesday
at IL O'Clock by Officer L. p Howe, on a
warrant issued on behalf OF the state, on
the complaint Of s. Thompson, grand
juror, by j. l. Scott, justice OF the peace.
Bail was readily procured to the amount
of $1,000, for his appearance at court, to
be held in Dandy on the nth of August,
aud thus stands the Porter-Allen scandal
at this writing. The trial seems to cause
considerable excitement here. and the
friends of Mr.. Porter seem to be greatly
surprised and disappointed at the develop
ments. REPORTER.

The Destruction in Ohio.

CINCINNATI, Aug. a.
A special correspondent of the CONNER
cial, who is examining the effects of the
flood in Northern Ohio, reports To-day,
having travelled from Portsmouth up the
Sciota valley as far as Piketon, finding
continued scenes of the destruction along
the entire route Sciota river is still rising
and is over the eutire valley to the depth Of
from five to thirty feet by actual count.
He reports 5000 acres of corn gone, caus-
ing an entire loss to the owners. The crop
promised an average yield of GO bushels to
the acre. This loss occurs in a territory
only sixteen miles long and lying in Sciota
county.
These figures will be increased by the en-.
tire destruction of the wheat crop and most
of the hay. Northwest from Scioto line
the devastation continues, probably all the
way to Columbus. Residents. of the valley
for over fifty years, say that no similar de-
structlons of crops by an overflow has ever
occurred before. The river has been
higher, but not at this season of the year.
Loss in this valley alone estimated at over
half million dollars.
