country. He delivered short address,
taking as his lesson the ffty-ifth chapter
of Isaiah. He was followed by Mr.. Chas.
Perry of the Erie Railway, and by Charles
Dummer, Assistant Ferry Superintendent,
and Rev. Mr.. Holloway of the Reformed
Church. The exercises were interspersed
with singing, and number of letters were
read from kindred organizations at Erie,

Washington street and Railroad avenue.
The future Sunday meetings will be held
under the auspices Of the Young Me''s

A Venerable Cashier.

! Mr.. Amos Townsend, Cashier OF the
National New Haven Bank, completed his
ffieth year Of continuous service in its
employ on Friday last For eighteen years
he has been the sole survivor of all his
original associates in the bank. In a letter
to the President, written on Friday, he
says: "From my entrance into the bank in
1925 to September, 1865, l had not been
absent from i'll health single day, and
my longest absence from and all causes
was three days. l had never asked or re-
ceived vacation from labor during these
forty years. In Septtmber 1865, took a
severe cold and WAS confined fifteen days,
and, as had been unused to illness, l con-
ciuded that had done my last days work
on earth. and sent in to the board my re-
signation Of The Cashiership, to which |
had been appointed Jan. l, 1882, on the
decease Of Mr.. Pyncheon. This the Direc-
tors did not accept The bank having COM
menccd operations as national institution,
| undertook to sign the entire circulation,
and this work, in my still partially pros
trated physical condition, proved too great
an effort, ard my eyes gave out. In con-
sequence, at the annual election for off GERS
in January, 1866, l declined reelection,
and you were appointed Cashier, while l
accepted the office of Assistant Cashier, and
did the outdoor work for three wears,
This was able to do in all weathers, and
did not lose single day. Outdoor exer-
else restored my health. On the decease
of President Sanford in January, 1862
you were elected as his successor, and the
board was pleased to offer me the Cashier
ship again, with the condition that in view
OF my age, the weakness of my eyes, and
extreme deafness, might do what work I
could. l have thus far been able to do all
that has been required Of me, and, l trust,
to the acceptance Of all interested. Since
my first entrance into the bank I have
always been treated with the utmest cour-
tesy and kindness by every individual Of
the Directors, and by my associates in
Office; and no word of reproof of rebuke,
or Of bitterness has ever been spoken to
me. So tar as / have known, have been
treated with perfect confidence, and in
1873 the Directors, unsolicited, and unex-
pected by ME, made me gift of 81 900. In
my seventy-eighth year of life 1 hope l
am not quite useless in my present position
for am in Gods great mercy still able to
be in my Office every business day, early
and late, and in all kinds of weather.

The Centennial Light Association.
PHILADELPHIA Sunday Times.

This association has for its object the
very creditable aim of furnishing gas lights
for Fairmount Park, to be used during the

of real utility, it has been inaugurated by
the ladies and must at once commend it.
selfto our citizens, and not only from the
patriotic aim it has in view, but, also, be-
cause its successful achievement will do
much to insure public safety at a time
when Philadelphia may expect to be over
crowded with strangers. The movement,
also, offers great inducements to tax pay
ers to aid in its furtherance, since, if it is
not paid fer by patriotic and voluntary
subscriptions, the work must be done by
the city, in which case the probabilities
are that il will be much more expensive
and less satisfactory than in the proposed
mode. Many of our leading business
houses have promised their hearty co.ope-
ration with the association, and progress
has already been made in collecting funds.

BisAsTROUs EFRGCFs OF THE HIGH
WATER BELOW

We publish this morning the report OF
the special commissioner Of the APPEAL
as to the condition and prospects OF the
planters and plantations between this
city and Napoleon. 1t is q clear, con-
else statement Of facts that can safely
81 e relied upon by our merchants and
business men; a statement made in
almost the words Of those most inter-
ested. Our commissioner tells Us tbst he
could hear OF only about one hundred
acres damaged in Mississippi, principally
ia Calhoun, a county where tn, Ievec il
broken. All the plantations inside the
levees in Mississippi, which extend a
distance OF tgo hundred and ninety
seven miles, from COahoms county,
through Bolivar, Washington and Isse-
quenna counties, are reported able to
bear at least another foot Of water. There
is danger 10 the leVee opposite the
mouths Of White and Arkansas rivers,
owing TO the current from them.
Tee wafer is rushing into Arkansas,
a. Ashley Point, near Walnut Bend.
At Walnut Bend, and at Old Town Ba-
you, and below the last named place, the
river indicates little or no rise until the
Arkansas is reached, being relieved per-
hsps by the overflow into Arkansas.
The highest estimate Of the loss made
ID our commissioner by planters and
TiyeTmen, will not exceed ten thousand
bales Of cotton and a proportionate
quantity Of corn, The people are Of
course very anxious, but cannot be said
to be at all frightened, and the prevail
ing tone Of their minds is one Of hope
fulness, Notwithstanding the river con-
tinues to rise slowly, being higher by
five inches yesterday than vixen our
commissioner left on Saturday.

CHEYENNE, August 10.-General
Crook and Colonel Stanton returned
here to-day from the Black Hills. The
miners were preparing to leave, cover
ing up the riches. lOdes to prevent their
becoming known till such time as they
can return to the country. 1t is consid-
cred that the mountains are full of gold
quartz. Capital and skilled labor will
develop mines equal to those of COlOra-
do or Nevada. There were about fifteen
hundred miners in the hills, and a great
deal OF preliminary work has been done
by them in the way of bitches and
sluicts. There we're no Indians in that
region, and but few have been seen.
Those at the agencies are still demand
ing that the miners be driven out. Some
gold was panned out in the presence of
cents to the pan. Water ia abundant
and grass, also timber for building, but
the piGe is not of the highest merchant
able quality. The town called Stone
wall has been laid out on Custar's gulch,
in the vicinity Of which some rich dig
gings are located. The whole country
Is well adaptet to grazing and farming
Troops are now en- route to establish q
temporary pest near StOnewaIl for the
purpose Of keeping out miners. Pro-
fessOr Jenney's party were still exploring
the mills, and will probably remain until
the middle Of October. General Crook
and party had fine hunting on Spring
rapids, elk and Box Elder creeks, taking
a large number of red deer, elk anu
mountain sheep, General Crook leaves
to morrow for Omaha.
