The Reading Edgl9 Of Tuesday ev.

RumOrs were current on the streets
last evening that large woods fire, In
Upper Bern township, had destroyed
barns, and burned many horses and cat
tic yesterday. Subsequently it was
learned from people who were in at
tendance that the woods near the new
st. Michae's Church, in that township,
were accidentally SCI on fire during the
dedicatOry services, in the afternL on,
and that number of horses and car
riages were burned. These conveyed
people to the church, and were tied up
at u railing neaf the woods and through
the woods.
The L0Q}e correspondent at Hamburg
was present at the fire. He writes,
that the CONSERVATION and tho scene
that ensued were terrible. II was about
2 O'Clock in the afternoon and the
church was packed. Rev. L. Q. Lein-
bach, Of Womelsdorf, was reading a
Sculptarll lesson, when of sudden
the cry of fire was raised. One of the
members rushed rapidly forward to
lteY. Mr. ZNcizing in the pulpit and
informed him that the dry trees and
leaves Of the adjoining groves were ON
fire, and that all the horses and carria-
ges thclein were in danger of being
burned up. Nr. Zweizig immediate.

The Beecher TrlaI-summary OF tle
Case.

New YORK. May 19.-Long before
the opening of the court this morning
the room was unusually crowded, re-
minding the habitual attendant of the
early days of the trial. A number of
ladies in attendance, however, was
greatly diminished. Mr.. Tilton came
was closely followed by Mr.. Beecher
and his wife.
The defendant chatted and laughed
with those of the Plymouth gathering
in his immediate vicinity. Before the
jury was called Judge Nelson instruc-
ted the audience to keep perfect silence
as any noise would interrupt the
speaker. Ex Judge Porter then arose
and began his summing up for the de-
fcnse. He said =
Gentlemen, you have been for FIVE
months in the service of Theodore
Tilton, under the mandate of power
which you were bound to obey. NV
client has, since the beginning of this
suit, dealt in Scripture principles.
When they struck him on the one cheek
he turned to them the other. In the
beginning they might have been struck
with the general air of untruthfulness
which permeated the case; and counsel
thought that ii they had been called
upon to deliver their verdict there
could have heen little doubt what that
verdict would have eeen. On the one
hand, they had Tilton and Moulton,
Jayne the informer, Woodruff and
Clailin, Joe Richards stealing up
to strike his sister in the back ,and Gen.
Butler, the strategist. These are the
parties who are the sponsors of this
accusation. These are champions of
Christian purity and morality; the ori.
ginators, and advisers in this matter.
We had in favor of this defendant, the
Jury Of the vicinage, the wife, the
children, and the grandchildren who
found shelter beneath his roof, and the
5000 worshippcrs of Plymouth Church.
Even tia clustering hearts of the young
children loved his name, aud would he 3.

that respect were not failure. The
speaker quoted from Milton in regard

innocence and hers, the o,th of an
tonest man. Bear in mii d, that This
'aih of innocent of the defendant in-
exposes 10y the spirit of the law in her

EDUCATION ~ RUSSIA AND GERMANY
The Russian government is alive to
the necessity of extending the advan-
tages Of education to the masses. Only
fifteen years ago out of every one hun
dred recruits levied for the army only
two could read aud write 1872, how
ever, the returns showed instead Of
two that twelve recruits in the one
hundred had mastered the rudiments
of kr on ledge. The deficiencies of
Russia in this respect are in marked
contrast with the condition of things
in Germany, where the proportion of
army recruits who can read and write
is eight times as many, or ninety six
in the one hundred, In all of Euro
pean Russia a: present there is not
paid more for public education than In
the single State of New York-that is
about 50. 800, $50 per annum; but the
schools are being gradually extended.

Every Russian dwelling is q hot-housc.
Outside the thermometer may bo twenty
degrees below zero; inside the heat is
tropical. The windows are double, filed
n below with fine sand, and are never
opened. Within the rooms the firopIa-
ces are closed. There is no ventilation.
In a sanitary point OF view, the heal.
thiness OF a Russian, and the fine ply
steal development of the men, should
oe puzzle to our medical theorists.
But the most curious thing abb ut the
house of a Russian of the wealthier
class is the love of flowers, and their
profusion In such dreary and barren
land. The houses overflow with them;
flowers receive you at the door and go
with you up the stairway; Irish lvies
festoon baluste's; jardinieres adorn the
landings on every floor. In the emlra-
sure of the windows bananas spread out
their broad, silken leaves; talipot palms,
maguolias, camelias gro ling like trees.
minsle their blossoms with the gilded
volutrs of the cornices; orchids hover
like butterflies around lamp-shades Of
crystal, porcelain md curiously- wrought
trrrlcotta. From horn-shaped vases OF
japanese porcelain or of Bo lemian glass
placed in the centre OF table or at the
corner of a side-board, spring shcaves of
superb exotics-and all this floral splen-
dor thrives as in hot-house.
