The Jubilee Concert.

The Centennial Jubilee arranged to take
place at the Washington Grove Camp Ground
on August .st and which had been looked for
ward to by great many of our county people
WITH considerable interest, resulted in partial
failure, caused by unfavorabe weather. The
clouds, which were thick and heavy threaten
ing rain deferred the city people from ventnr-
ing out, bat the county people, not SO easily
frightened, attended in force.
A large platform had been constructed for
the occasion and placed upon it were three
organs Of immense volume, two of which
were silent while the remaining one did its
best to drown the voices Of about fifty persons
who were trying to drown the noise of the
organ The contest was kept up manfully
all day until the platform tired of being the
performed itself an operate crash just as the
first note Of Coronation" indicated more
excited renewal Of hostilties between organ
and voice, and preciptated the contestants to
the ground.
Several addresses were delivered by gentle
men present, which seemed to afford consid-
cradle pleasure to the hearers. Mr.. Woodward
during his remarks, stated that an erroneous
impression was prevalent among the people
Of Montgomery county that the managers OF
the Camp Meeting did not desire their pres
ence but be would assure them that the
managers desired not only their attendance
upon that occasion but their hearty co-opera-
ton. aud be hoped to see full turnout of
cousty people Al the Camp.

Washington Letter.

Hr. Editor The Summer of 1876 in Wash
ington is far different from that Of lis prede-
cessors, usually quiet aud dull with now and
then a listless pedestrian saunterng along save
when the Offices were out. At present how
ever, it is fun of life if not Of gaiety the un
usually long session Of Congress compels
many to remain, and the numbers of centen-
NAL visitors who honor us with their presence
is beyond computation. Many of them are not
an ornament TO The land of their birth, pecu-
niarily we do not realize much by their brief
sojourn in our midst as they travel on the
economical plan simply taking nights lodg-
ing and picking up something 10 eat " hen they
are hungry at the nearest place 10 that which
they are inspecting. The White House is be-
seiged by these strangers from early in the
morning, and quite cloud Of dust Is raised

THE NEW JERSEY TRAGEDY Mingled emo
tions are excited by reading such bit of
news as that which comes from Elizabeth, n.
j., of the mothers alleged murder of her in
FAINT monstrosity. The body was found ir a
freshwater well only on Friday night last,
but it had been missing ever since last Sep
TENDER, since which time the well has been in
constant use by the people of the neghbor-
hood, and naturally the good people of West
field are Mortified. But the child seems to
have been more like human hub with spokes
all around than an ordinary infant being
credited with four legs and three arms. The
hapless mother was apparently unable to en-
dure the sight of this mutiped offspring, and
does not seem to have entertained the project
of making money for herself by its exhibition
II is suspected that she threw into the well
under the pretence of sending it to a surgeon
for the looping off of some of its superfuous
limbs, little rejecting, provided she got it out
OF her sight, on the dsagreeable sensations
she was preparing for the community.

DEATHS

DIED, at her residence near PooIesville, on
the 25th day of July, 1876, Mrs. MARY G..
YOUNG, wife of John Young, deceased, in
the 74th year of her age.
Never has the community felt q more sor-
rowful bereavement than in that of the subject
Of this notice. Her great purity Of character
had made its impress upon every heart. Sim
pie in her manners, aifectionate and constant
to her friends, and kind and liberal to the
needy, she was known but to be respected
and loved. She was ever ready 10 respond to
the call of distress however lowly or un-
thankful The subject, and to her family she
was lifelong martyr in her tireless devotion
and servtude. There was no enjoyment that
she would not relinquish to promote the
happiness of a friend. Deprived Of the REIN
ing influences of mental culture, she was
yet blessed with that moral and religious
training in childhood which always leaves
lis stamp upon the character and which
shown so beautifully through her life
Her faults may have been many but though
they had been as scarlet, her generosity 10
those who wronged her and her constant de-
votion TO those whom she loved would have
made them as white as snow.

CHARLIE Ross.-Detectives are now on the
track OF man named Parker, an associate of
Mosher and Douglass, who is believed TO have
knowledge of the whereabouts of the mis-
sing boy Charlie Ross. Ii has been ascertain
ed that up TO year ago Parker lived with a
French woman In Boston, and thai the pair
had with them a boy answering the missing
boys description. The last heard of Parker
and the woman was that they were on their
way TO Canada, since which time, DESPITE ali
the exertions of the police authorities. no cline
has been obtained to the whereabouts of
either man, woman or child.

Big BLAsT.-The blasting out of He'll
Gate, at the entrance New York Harbor, will
probably take place in the middle of Septem-
Der: 1t will require fifty thousand pounds of
explosives. The materials to be used will be
nitro glycerine, dynamite and rend rock. The
blowing up will he done in three sections, and
the effect will be to crumble the pillars ard
allow the roof to sink in. The opinion that
the whole mass will be hurled into the air is
erroneous. 1t is not even anticipated that the
shock will be SO terrible as to cause general
alarm. The benefits to be obtained are very
great. The channel well be deepened about
three feet, and will allow the passage of The
largest vessel. II is expected ocean steamers
will take this route 10 and from Europe, as il
Is eighteen hours shorter than the Sandy
Hook route.

Canadian Matters.

l CHANGED to be travelling in Canada on
the oath of May. the national holiday Of the
British doniniOns, the birthday OF their
queen. 1t is celebrated very much as the
Fourth is with US. l was in Montreal where
there was a military display on the park aud
an excursion by rail, headed by the silver
band with uOdding plumes aud scarlet uni
forms. Their music was verv fine. They
also had horse race, aud game Of cricket,
which seems to DO as much of a game in
Canada as base ball in the states.
Montreal is fine city. 1t has improved
very much since our last visit here in '65.
Ii is said now to contain zoe, 900 inhabitants.
| am the guest of David Irish, one of my old
townsmen, who is chief Of the American ex.
press here, which Office he has filled with
credit to the company aud himself for the
past twenty years. | find many active men
in business here, formerly from our side.
Home manufacturing seems to be on the In
crease, and they depend less on importing
manufactured articles than they have for
merly done. AS regards our buying horses
here, think our chances are better on our
side, considering the duties and all expenses
together with the discount on our money. l
had always entertained hope that the day
was not far distant when Canada would join
the United States, but must confess that the
signs Of the times do not denote much prog
ress of late in that direction. l find heavy
companies here, directly from England, whose
