GENERAD BABCoCK seems determin-

by the company he keeps. On the
night of his acquittal he called upon
"Mack" in the county Jail and cx-
changed congratulations, and when he
left for Washington he took care that
Avery should form one Of the party.
Herein lies the superiority of Babcock
to Grant, for while the latter, ia his
friendship for the st. Louis crowd
drew the line at the prison doors, the
former has the moral courage to ignore
it altogether. But then tie President
has not been vindicatcd. and that, as

The present depression in the iron
trade has apparently rested with less
severity upon the ron interests Of Chat

there are between two and three, the

all of il employed. A blast furnace has
recently been built ana equipped there
entire, without going abroad for any
thing.
A correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune collates statistics to show that
Illinois Granger railroad law has been

that the farmers have paid nearly two
millions more freight money under it
in eighteen months than they would

The Centennial Grangers encampment,
situated at Elm Station, some six miles
west of Philadelphia, was entirely destroyed
by fire few nights ago. The hotel covered
five acres OF ground and contained thirteen
hundred rooms. The property, including
furniture, was valued at $4,000. There
was an in surance of $4,000. The fire is
supposed to have been the work of an in
cendiary. Very few Of the contents were
saved. During the last three months Of
the Exposition the hotel accommodated
over one hundred thousand guests. 1t has
been the scene of many pleasant reunions
during the past Summer, and has enabled
the 'Grangers and their families to visit the
Centennial at much lower rates than could
have been provided under other circum-
stances. The destruction Of the building
will probably prevent the proprietors OF
the enterprise from coming out square.
There were about thirty-fve persons, in
Guiding ten guests in the building at the
time of the confagration. No one was in
iured, although good deal of personal
property belonging to the inmates was de-
stroyed.

Plymouth Church Initiated.

The trial of Rev. Jas. S. Rsager on a
charge of immortality by court of minis
ters, according to discipline Of the NJ. E.
church, was concluded in Madison on Sat-
urday. The charge in substance is that on
the night of Oct. 5, 1876, while the steamer
Ben Franklin was on her up trip to Cincip-
natl from Madison, the Rev. james S.
Reager was caught in the stateroom of Mrs.
McHenry, widow milliner Of Madison,
with whom he came on board, and that he
was led out of the state room by David
Mcclure, second clerk Of the boat, who
took the .precaution TO have witnesses on
the scene when the "denouement" was
made. The verdict was as follows: 1--WE,
the committee in the case Rev. james S.
Raager do not find that the testimony is
sufficient to clearly convict him Of the
charge Of ofimmorality."

IT was stated few days ago that the
Department of Agriculture had an unex-
pended balance of $4,000 for the fiscal
year 1856. OF this amount, however,
nearly $4,000 belonged to the postage
fund, the use of which was rendered un-
necessary by tie act of Congress giving to
the Commissioner Of Agriculture the r2gsht
to frank his official reports. In most Of
its branches of work the Department has
not merely had no surplus. but has found
its operations restricted by the want Of

Of Miss Anna Dit

The appearance Of Miss Anna Dlckln-
son in q dramatic performance in Phila-
delphia, next week, will be regarded with
unusual interest because Of the prevalence
of the impression that she has not been
fairly treated in some other places where
she has given her representations. This 's
her native city and it is also a city where
dramatic criticism in the press is always
intelligent, and 40 far as We are aware
never controlled by anything but desire
to do even and exact Justice. Miss Dick
inson will have fair play there,at any rate
and the verdict pronounced upon her per-
formsnces will represent honest judjment'

One sees fac SMILES Of the Declaration of
