Prof John Rowlend, musical instructor
OF the Washington NJ. f.. Church choir, says:
The Parlor Organs manufactured by the

among the swectes, in tone Of any have

finish they are without an equal.
From the Washington Star:
On exhibition in one Of the large show
windows of Cummins, Cole g. Thompson's
store is an improved style of organ manufac-
tnred by the Gem Organ Company, Of Wash
ington. The cases are of solid walnut arts
tically finished and joined together in the
most thorough manner. The wool work
evidently shows the master hand of the skilled
mechanic. The musical qualities Of the or

Severe Drouth and Heavy Fire.
FLMIRA, N. Y, Aug. 81

FLMlRA, N. T., Aug. ~.
The drouth Is severely felt in this county
in many ways A clover field belonging to
Geo. Mccain, situated just outside of the
city, and left for seed, took fire from the
sparks of locomotive Saturday morn
ing, and before the flames were extern
guished ten acre lot was burned,
the fences and buildings of the farm being
saved with difficulty. On the same
day several fields of grass took fire from
the same cause at Big Flats, six miles east
of here, and number of acres were burned,
endangering several houses near by. A
swamp north of here also caught fire
On Saturday, blazing with great
fierceness, in some places burning holes
two or three feet in the ground. About
the came time the grass in the fair grounds
caught fire, which was communicated to
the long row of stables at the north end of
the premises. These were all de-
stroyed before the flames could be
stayed. The society will lo9c by
the conllagration at least $4,000, as there
was no insurance on the buildings. The
fire is supposed to have originated from
spark from passing locomotive.

A Horrible Confession.

BUFFALO, Aug. ~.
George Adams, who so successfully
played the role of hero in the late averted
railroad disaster at Fairport, was last night
arrested in this city, evidence of his being
the author of the outrage having been
worked up by special detective of the
New York Central railroad. After the ar
rest he made full confession, in substance
that he alone misplaced the switch throw
ing the train from the track of the Lake
Sherc and Michigan Southern railroad, on
the 18th inst, whereby the engineer and
fireman were badly scalded and the engine
completely wrecked. Also, on the morn
ing of the 10th inst, he drew the spikes
from the ties and bolts from the fish joints,
thereby wrecking the train, throwing tt
down an embankment, wrecking the engine,
three passenger coaches, baggage and postal
cars. Fortunately the only person injured
was w. Il, Clemens, a conductor on the
Great Western railway, who afterward died
Of his wounds. His last exploit was the
attempt at Fairport on the Goth inst.
Adams has already served term in the
Erie county workhouse for petit larceny.
He pleads in extenuation his intention to
notify the train in time to avert the acct
dent, hoping thereby to place the company
under obligations to furnish him with sit
uation.

did specimens of their kind, but their num-

did specimens of their kind, but their num-
Der and variety precludes the possibility Of
describing them in detail. The young
lions and the rhinocerous cub were per-
haps viewed with as much interest as any
creatures in that extensive museum. AL
in all the menagerie Of animals, with the
other collections in that department, made
up an exhibition which in variety and in
tercst would comprise whole show for q
manager less enterprisng than Barnum.
But he did more for us, for he provided
one of the best possible programmes of ring
performance. 1t was opened by the grand
oriental cavalcade of mounted knights and
ladies, and the usual auxiliaries of an east
ern procession scene. Prof. s. 8. Smith
introduced the living curiosites, chief
among which was the tattooed man. Re-
yond question this is genuine casc of sav-
age tattoolng, and in no sense humbug as
some pretend to think. From this out the
performances did not allow the interest of
the spectators to flag. Without attempt
ing to take them up in their order, and not
wishing to deprecate those those
inadvertently may omit, first and
foremost seems to be the rid
ing of the woderful Brazilian
prince, Lowando. In his single bareback
riding and in his four horse act he is a
daring, dashing equestrian, but in his act
with his little son Tony he is immenfc,
supreme, and the boy is second only to his
father, though in pluck neither could be
superior. Jeanette Watson captured all
by her beauty and lady-likc bear
ing, not less than by her graceful
and skillful equestrianship, which right
fully entities her to lie called "queen of
the arena Miss Carlos riding was admir-
| able, and in her scarf act she looked the
picture of the graceful, brave cquestricnne,
as she is. The Masters Carlo, with the
| elder group of Carlos, came in for their
share of applause, and well did they earn
it. The Japs, the clowns, the trained
horses and ponies, the ''mewls," the comic
| fiddlers, the educated elephants, and all the
rest were uncommonly good. Geo. M.
Clark, in clowns dress, is the same popu-
lar "Gawge," and feels stu hum," as he
says, before Rutland audience. His
songs, and the Star Spangled Banner, as
given by the company, and the excellent
| playing of the band, ma lie the musical part
of the show complete.
The management of Barnum's circus is
in competent hands. We found Mr.. Hurd,
Mr.. Barnum's son-in-lsw, gentleman, ev-
cry inch. Mr.. Hopkins, to whom we are
under obligations for extensive courtesies,
is also gentleman, whose services must
prove invaluable. All the members of the
company seemed to be ladies and gentle
men, aud even the ordinary employees were
far above the average. All conducted
themselves in the most exemplary manner
during their stay in town over Sunday, and
departed for Whitehall early this morning,
sure of one thing, unless we misjudge--
that they gave satisfactory entertainment
here, and that they will have a generous
welcome when they come again.

Barnum's Show.

The "new and greatest show on earth
made its appearance In Rutland about nine
o'clock on Saturday morning, and thou
sands of citizens and strangers viewed the
grand pageant as it passed through the
principal streets, headed by one of the best
bands 10 the country. During the heated
term the managers deem 1t unwise to cart
sixteen of the animal cages about the
streets, and consequently the procession
was not so long as it otherwise might have
been. Among the chief attractions was a
large bell, which was rung as the process
sion moved. A salute was also fired, and a
carnival of pleasure seemed to have get IN
from the moment the procession COM
menced to move. A chime Of bells played
popular airs, and calliope fetched forth
stentorian tones at the rear of the process
sion. The gaping crowd pursued its wind
ing way in the trail of Barnum's cavalcade
and were absorbed in the glories of the
preparations for the anticipated show. The
mammoth tent was the first wonderland
it was such, indeed, for no greater area OF
canvas was ever spread under the sky of
Vermont. Inside, at the hour of opening,
the separate and varied attractions of the
museum were viewed with unaffected de-
light. In the mechanical department the
hackneyed expression "too numerous to
n;enuon," comes TO our relief as the only
one adequate to description, with SPACE
limited as is ours this morning. A tcauli-
full silver engine running at full blast and
keeping in motion many of the wonderful
specimens of mechanical genius, deserves
special mention. In curiosities aud speci
mems of art, the collection was large and en-
braced many relics and pieces of genuine
merit, and possessing more than passing
interest. Our reporter noticed among {
collection of canes presented to MIR. Bar
mum, "sticks" used by such dlstin
guished gentlemen as Abraham Lincoln
and jefferson Davis. The life-like anC
mertorious oil portraits of various dis
tinguished statesmen. authors and othel
renowned persons were visited ana enjoy
ed by large numbers of thoroughly appre'
clative people.
The living curiosities, from the demurt
elephants, the magnificent lone, Tho
dreaded tigers, and the other large beasts
to the chattering monkeys, and the bril-
liant birds, were each and every one splen

Destructive Fire.
NEW YORK, Au

NEW YORK, Aug. 81.
A frc occurred this morning in the sugar
house of Ockershausen & Bros, $50 South
street. The flames spread with atrapid-
ity, and soon the entire building was burn
ing, The fire spread to the oil warehouse
of Libby, Bartlett 81 Kimble, 1874 Front
street, and soon it was enveloped in flames.
Burning oil ran down the gutter ways to
the river and floated down the stream in
small globules of fire. The fircmen worked
with well to get the flames under control,
but they spread to the building occupied by
