trust they may find it convenient on
some future occasion to give them
their presence. The festival was a
complete success. The citizens hele
responded fully to the effort to make
it SO, and bought verything that was
offered for sale, from the antediluvian
hat and bonnet to the miniature rock
ing chair and mouse trap. After the
sale was over all were invited to the
table, upon which was spread a most
sum- tious feast, prepared for the oc-
casion-which, Judging from the
spirit and manner in which it was re-
ceived was peculiarly suited to the
tastes and appetites of all present. It
was truly gala day with the young

played, to the interest and pleasure of
all. Various States we're we'll repre-

Much has recently been said touch
ing the Importance of using precau-
tionary Measures in preserving the
health of our city; but one very neces-
sary matter seems thus far to have
escaped the attention of our authori
ties. The numerous fats or lighters
lying along side of our wharves usual
ly contain more or less stagnant water.
which generates ryriads of mosquitoes.
and when stirred up by rains emits
not only a horrible stencil, but
undoubtedly becomes fruitful source
of fevers of a very malignant type.
These flats should be ordered to the
leeward of the city, aud pumped out
at least once a month. This matter
should be attended to at once. 1t is
customary to place this authority in
the hands of the Harbor Master.

into the stream. Tho aolion was sudden that the
pilot had time TO give the alarm and stop the boat
until 1t had passed over the suicide. The cry
Of .Man overboardl" brought the passengers ana

SPREAD THE WORD.

The Rev. William J. Tucker gave lecture last night
In the Madison Square Presbyterian church ON the
Bible, tho occasion being the regular meeting OF tho
New York Bible Society. Ho confined his remarks
the power for good tho Bible and now this power
should be used.
Tho lecturer FIRST quoted the words OF St. Paul to the
Romans, l., 14-l6 1t the honor Of Paul that
through him God furnished the world with more truth
and higher degree than through any other inspired
writer II is not much now the question Of eslab-
fishing this truth is Of dusing that should oc'
cupy Il is peculiarity OF the present age that
God Is making use OF the great centres OF thought
the large citics-to diKuse His word. In this regard
the Now York Bible Society Is doing good work II
has distributed $50 copies OF the Bible IN public
institutions 900 families have been visited during
the past eighteen months and 900 Bibles distributed
among them. Their statistics show that 33, 192
volumes have been placed on board 2,735
outgoing vessels These things only mentioned
TO show what field there 10 for the society. Tho
great question Is, whether there is spirit IN man
ready take the Bible and carry it on Its work. to
tho most good. Tho truths OF the Bible should be
upheld, and spread with that living, glowing
enthusiasm that comes out OF conviction. Take
the spirit of the OF science as an example OF this
enthusiasm. l know OF no men. said the lecturer
who have such enthusiasm as the men who believe
that they have unlocked the secrets Of the universe
We should sndeavor to propagate the truth We need
not wait; man is our opportunity.
Ii we are hold the Bible in the spirit IN which Il
given are to hold II In the spirit OF indebted
ness. We are to estimate this Indebtedness by the
worth to other men Of what we possess ourselves. II
there Is any whom the Bible is OF no use we
not indebted to HIM. The great argument for the
Bibe IS that no take it TO himself with
out feeling that It has an inward worth TO
all the world Another law Of indebtedness is that II
you touch man to his harm you should make recom-
pcnse for II. How many strangers are there VINO
