The following is an extract from a letter
written by Baptist missionary to a gen
tleman Of this city, from Tugalo River,
Oconee county, 5. c.:
II left home the 29th Of last month,
came over the mountains rather angling,
where it is twenty-five miles from base to
base; spent a night near the top of the
Bl Ridge, in Hogback Valley. Sabbath
morning threw my saddle-b bags across my
horse, and rode seventeen miles to reach
nay appointment, about eight miles Of
which is not a road, but a steep and rugged
trail, not passing a single habitatiOn.
descended into JocaSsee Valley (thrOugh
which flows White Water River), which |
am told bears the name of an Indian
woman who was in love with a white man,
was disappointed, and left for the 'happy
hunting grounds by leapiug over the
White Water Falls above the valley. l
preached and organized a Sunday-schOOl.
Next day / visited the falls, 3 miles above the
settlements, in a mountain gorge beautiful
and grand. The whole river comes dash
ing over its rocky bed for about a quarter
Of a mile, making two particular falls, and
cascades so rapid that the whole stream is
lashed into foam white as snow, sur
rounded by a mantle of spray, and tanning
the behOlder with breeze as exhilarating
as a mountain zephyr. The irregularity Of
the rocks throws the water into every con
ceiyable form. In one place is a miniature
Niagara, in another a current so rapid that
the fOaming element seems to be making
a race for life, and just beyond prominent
elevation darts the current upward, form
ing graceful curve; the atmosphere con-
denses it into large drops and they fail like
a shower Of diamonds. noticed another,
which rises to height Of eight or ten feet,
making an arch as beautiful as a rainbow.
1t seems to have definite object, for it is
directed with the precision of a freman's
hose and discharges its crystal contents upon
the head of a conspicuous rock below. 1t
moves, not in a solid current, but in un-
equal Jet. One moment it spIinkles the
rock, the next it covers half of it, and per-
haps the third effort washes the whole face
Of it with a copious supply Of tie pure
liquid. This reminds one Of the cleansing
power Of the Holy Spirit. Oh that l
could keep this lruant heart continually
under the stream that flowed from the side
Of our blessed Redeemer. Yet know that
the same hand, which placed this rock, and
directed the cleansing fountain upon it, IS
willing to pour the precious blood Of Jesus
upon me, only [ will stand from under.
This current has fallen upon the rock for
ages, and the supply is not diminished. So
is the pardOning power Of Jesus, exhaust
less.

GRAND RAPIDS.

Disastrous COnnagratiOn-6O Houses
COnsumed-NarFOWE Escape OF Many
Families.
DETROIT, June ia disastrous fire Oc-
CURED in Grand Rapids, Michigan, this
morning, involving loss Of about Sl50,00O,
wiping out the entire business portion Of
West Bridge street, besides many other
buildings. The fire originated in a paint
shop, heavy gale blowing at the time, and
before any attempt could be made to check
the flames, they had made great headway,
owing 10 the fact that the entire FIRE depart
ment had been called out to a fire in the
extreme Southern portion Of the city. Be
fore the engines arrived one whole block
had been burned to the ground. About
sixty buildings were burned, principally Y
tWo-stOry structures, the lower stories Of
which were used for business purposes and
the upper for families. The progress of the
flames was so rapid that they had barely
time to escape with their lives, saving
nothing.

der Police Protection.
New York Herald, June Il.
The Assembly committee appointed
to investigate the condition of crime In
New York City, its increase and the
means to check it, met yesterday after
noon in the Aldermen's old meeting
room in the City Hall. The proceed
ings began with the examination of
Mr.. William A. Martinot, who gave
evidence substantially as follows: Gam
a private detective, having an Office at
No. 800 Broadway; served some time in
the police force, and, previous to 1871,
was for three years an officer in the
army; served in the police under Capts.
Williamson, Matsell and Burden;
my duties were, among other
things, to suppress gambling houses
and houses of prostitution; a gambling
or panel house cannot exist forty eight
hours in any precinct without the fact
being known to the police; believe no
panel house could be opened without
the protection of the police; reported
the location Of panel houses IN the pre-
cinct to Capt. Burden, yet afterward
found them running. The witness here
accurately defined what a panel house
is. Panel houses, he said, have existed
within three weeks-one at No. l07
West -Twenty-fourth street, kept by
John Hogan; one - No. lbs West
Twenty-seventh street, run by Nellie
Hay; one at the corner of Twenty
fourth street and Sixth avenue, owned
by James Smith; one at No. 437 Sixth
avenue, directed by "Lover Joe" and
others at the corner Of Sixth avenue
and Twenty-seventh street, No. lO4
West Twenty street, and Nos.
426 and 461 Sixth avenue; before open
ing these houses the proprietors must
make arrangement" with the Cap
tain and police officers Of the district
in which they are located; Captain Bur
den was well aware Of the existence of
these houses IN his district; as a gen
eral rule the proprietors of them paid
the Captains S75 per week, or ''haf Of
all they could MAKE" The witness gave
other testimony of similar character in
regard to sneak thieves, gambling
houses, etc.

A Firm ut st. Johns Fail for Six Mil.

ST. JOHN, n. B., June 19.-The liza
bilities of Z d. JeWett & Co. are nearly
six million dollars. One bank holds their
paper to the extent of S25O,OOO, another
$4,000, third S220,COO, and fourth
100000. The failure is ascribed to losses
on lumber, the general depression Of the
trade and engagements connected with
Western Extension railway bonds. The
effect on the general trade Of ST. Johns is
depressing, but the banks will sustain the
losses without curtailing. The failure is
the heaviest ever known in this part Of the
country.
