FRIGHTFUL CASUALTY.

Theatre Burned and Over 800 Lives Lost.
On the 9th, the funeral Of those who
were not identified, or whose friends
had not the means to bury them, took
place. There we're over one hundred
bodies, some sixty hearses, each with
two collins, being in the line. The cold
was intense, but all Brooklyn seemed
to have turned out to the funeral.
There was a tremendous crowd at
Greenwood. AS the cortege passed
through the gate the bell in the tower
tolled mournfully. On either side,
along the pathways, on the hillsides
and invading the private plats were
the people. The ground set apart for
the reception of the mutilated remains
was donated by the trustees OF Green
wood cemetery, and is located on Bat
tie hill, but short distance from the
Twenty fifth street entrance, at the
corner of Battle avenue and Maine av-
enue. Battle hill rises to the left OF
the main entrance to Greenwood. 1t
is the highest point in the cemetery,
and near it the battle Of Long Island
was fought. The soldiers monument,
the tomb Of Col. Vosburgh, Of the list
| New York regiment, and monument
to Capt. F1eeborn, the pilot who per-
ished off Sandy Hook, 30 years ago,
are all near the plot selected by Aid.
Guthrie. A trench or circular grave
of seven feet in depth and Is feet in
width was dug, capable of accommo'
dating 100 coffins. The great crowds
which were met near and just within
the cemetery were formed about the
vast grave. The site being on the sid
of hill, and completely exposed, the
cold was almost insufferable, but still
the people held their places. There
was no delay in removing the remains
from the hearses and wagons and de-
posting them in the circular trench
Then the services were begun. Rev
DR.. Noah H. Schenck read the beauti
full burial service Of the Episcopal
church, which was listened to atten
lively by those who were within reach
of his voice. There was inexpresslblt
sadness mingled with solemnity in thu
scene. Hundreds Of people wept, thu
tears freezing on their cheeks as the!
issued from their eyes. A monumen
in circular space Of 10 feet will b.
erected in the centre of the plat, will
appropriate devices and inscriptions
to which work the theatrical profes
sion promise subscription of $40, OOO
The plat is 200 feet square, and com
. mands fine view of many of the beau
ties of Greenwood.

Germany will not take part in
the Paris Exhibition Of 1878, the prin-
cipal reason given that the German
Government and the Chambers of Com

Paris to warrant the large expenditure
to be incurred by the Empire. In ad.

November.-The beautiful, frolic-
some grasshoppers have now crawled
into their holes for the winter. No
more will we hear them singing on the
fences or in the verdant trees. Not
much anv more. The bullfrog's melo-
dious voice is hushen and the mud
turtle dove has hid herself in the
green waters.
Work on the farm now will not be-
so heavy as some other months. Still,
you can put in time Smelling your hay
and buckwheat cakes and properly
storing 'em away in the loft.
Now fatten your vegetables and store
your poultry away in a warm, dry cell

Now kill your smoked hams and side

Now set your winter wheat mulch

Poets have called this month gloomy,

share of prizes, as loan to be imme-

An Excellent Recipe for Curing
Hams.-The following quantities are
for twelve hams. Take three pounds
of fine salt. one-half pound Of salt
peter. pounded fine, and one pint OF
molasses. Mix the above we'll together,
and rub each ham with the mixture
Then put them in cask and allow
them to stand five or six days. after
which they should be reversed, the

LAMBERrvILLE, N. j., MAY Is, 1876.
Mr.. EDIToR lit will doubtless be remem-
bered by large number of our citizens, that
number Of years ago a subscription was
circulated among them, the object being to
procure funds to purchase flag for the Hill
Public School.
1t was proposed by the teachers and scholars
to raise this flag on Wednesday last, and up
on inquiries being made Id reference to 1t; it
was ascertained that the flag had been sold to
parties in New Hope. Who was authorized
to make this sale of school property? The
flag after being procured for the school by the
citizens and scholars, is school property, and
should have been looked after by the Board
of School Trustees
) 1t is hoped that they will interest themselves
in this matter and have the flag brought back
and placed where it belongs.

tB- The potato bug has again appeared
This year he comes to the Centennial bring
ing all his family, his mother-in.law, all his
wifs's relations, and his own. too, Wherever
the early potato pokes its pioneer leaves above
the ground, there is the striped bug in its
midst. And there is such prepopderance Of
bugs over potatoes, that. the latter has no
chance at all. Likewise with the tomato
plants. After all the Winters care. with
frames facing the Southern sun, and early
transplantfng into pots, &C., SO as to have an
early crop, the bug attacks 1t as soon as it is
planted out in the open ground, and eats right
into its tender stalk, killing it at once and for
ever. AS the mission of the potato bug is to
multiply, and such fcrce is on hand now.
what may we expect by July? Wesee pew
remedy, and that is powdered aloes sprinkled
on the plants. Paris Green will kill them
but T. is not safe thing to lie around loose.
Aloes are SO decidedly nasty that no one would
think Of tasting, and no harm would result If
they did.--Newtown Enterprise.

company with his son, a small boy; was driv-

of Mr.. Richard Ely's, the horse attached to

eB- One day last week Mi. John Pickett,
of the New Hope Boat Yard, severely injured
his right foot while using sharp adze. He
was using the instrument on heavy piece of
timber, and on missing the mark, the adze
swung around with great force, striking him
under the ankle-bone of the right foot. The
wound inflicted was of very painful cbarac-
ter, but does not appear to partake of a seri-
GUS nature. A crutch will have to be used
for few days yet, it is thought.

A WELcoME DIscovERY.-It seems that
distinguished European physician and chemist
has hit upon combination of three very
sfnpfe elements, which IS likely to prove of
great Importance in the treatment of coughs,
colds, and indeed every variety of pulmonary
disease. Mr.. Charles N. Criterion, of the
famous stMedicine Warehouse" in Sixth
Avenue, New York, has purchased the formula
and given the remedy to the world under the
unpretending title of 8. Hale's Honey Of Hore-
hound and Tar We are assured that no
case Of cough, cold iuffife1za, hoarseness or
bronchial irritation can Withstand the counter
irritant and tonic properties Of the new medi-
cal agent, which is as harmless asst is etfica-
cious.- Our information in relation to the
remedy comes from competent and disinter-
estcd sources, and we feel safe 10 recommend
ing it as cure for throat and lung COM
