Wednesday some eight or ten thousand
men and boys assembled in TCmpklns
square In New York, at s 7. NJ, TO sympa-
thize with the railroad strikers. There
were stands for English, German, French
and other speakers. No police or military
appeared on the scene, but both were in
readiness for immediate action. Hand
bills were distributed and banners dis
played. Resolutions were passed declar-
ing sympathy with the strikers and de-
nouncing legalized railroad, manufactur-
ing and other corporations as despotic enc
mics Of the working classes, and morally
responsible by their tyranny for the acts OF
workingmeL, who should form party 10
make common cause against a common
enemy. An address to President Hayes
was adopted, requesting him TO sympathize
with the workingmen and not let the
strong arm of the government support the
railroad corporations. Aner some other
speeches the meeting adjourned. The
crowd which had then assembled on the
streets were ordered to dispense by police
inspector Murray. They replied with a
shower Of bricks and stones. The police
Immediately charged and afler a short and
decisive struggle the crowd was complete
ly routed and all was quiet. A hundred
special police were placed on guard around
the grand central depot all night

vote Of the town, March 9TH, 1876, has just
been completed by the committee to whom
the work was overwhelmingly, Mr.. Jo-
seph J. Green, Rev. Charles Burnham and
Mr.. John II. Merrifeld The book is an
octave of 259 pages, aud is printed in an
excellent style on extra quality paper 10y
d. Leonard, the well known printer of this
town. The volume embraces full sc-
count of the proceedings at the town CEN
tennial celebration held July 4, 1874, in
Guiding the historical address by Hon.
Chas. X. Field, biographical sketches, his
torical notes, Mrs. Stedman's poem, and
the centennial discourse delivered by Rev.
Charles Bnrnham; TO which is added
copy Of the original charter of the town, a
list of the first town officers, family gene
alogies, the Sawtell family sermon, incl
dents of longevity and long married life,
an article on roads and bridges, extracts
from first town records, and articles under
the head of school districts and schools,

list Church, Methodism in Newtane, ceme-
teries, Fayetteville, Willamsville, Pond

lished with full-page portraits Of fifteen
prominent citizens or natives of the town,
including Hon. Luke Knowlton, General
Martin Field, his wife, Mrs. Esther S. Field,

II. Newton, II. Robinson, Luke Knowl-
ton, Jr., Hon. p. II. Knowlton, Hon. Au-
stin Birchard, Rev. Lewis Grout, VIM. l..
Williams, and Hon. Charles X. Field. The
book evinces much pains-taking research
and conscientious labor on the part of tie
several writer's, and especially on the part
of the committee of publication. The war
record, in particular, though involving in
its preparation II vast amount of careful re-
search, is believed to be correct in every
important item. The volume, as complet-
ed, is highly creditable, not only to the
committee but 10 the town, and the small
edition published, we doubt not, will find
an eager demand among the descendants of
the town who have removed TO other sec
lions of the country. A copy OF the work,
superbly bound in morocco and gilt, is TO
be presented to President Hayes on account
of his family associations with the town.
The price of the book is fixed at Sl.50; and
for s1.65 it will be sent, postpaid, TO any
address on application 10 Cheney Clapp

the committee.

The New York Times takes exceptions
TO the dismal predictions of Republican de-
feat this fall made by a small minority of
Republicans and the Democratic leaders.
II admits that the Presidents action with
reference to the South and his civil service
orders have displeased a number of Re-
publicans who would stand defeat with q
good deal of fortitude, but what the party
has lost in this direction will be more than
made good by the accession ofIndependents
and Democrats who approve the Presi-
dents course. In New York this class,
largely German, turned the scale for Til
den. The Times thinks that these voters
will approve of Mr.. Hayess policy.

A RIOT IN BALTIMoRE.

Incident to the calling ont of troops from
this city TO aid in suppressing the rioters
on The various roads, a mob assembled and
opposed the marching Of the troops from
the armory, and attacking them with brick
bats, stones, and in many cases dscharg
ing firearms. The regiment fired Tito the
crowd, killing aud wounding number.
Great confusion and excitement followed
of course, and the widest minors in re-
gard to the number of lives sacrificed were
circulated. The crowd ON Baltimore street
for several squares from South each way
was immense, rendering the sidewalks al
most impossible. In front of the middle
police station, on North street, nearly OPP
posite the city hall, where most of the dead
and wounded were taken, the way was
blocked with an excited mass eager TO
learn the names of the unfortunate men.
The Governor Of Maryland has issued a
proclamation, commanding all citizens 10
retire to their homes, warning them that
"pers islence in these violent proceedings
will compel resort to the strongest meas
ures for the re- establishment Of order in
our midst" Ten rioters were arrested
Friday night, by the police, and it is said
several seriously shot were taken TO their
homes

TERRIBLE RIOT AT PIrrsnURo.


On Friday morning, the movement in
creasing, Gov. Hartranit issued procla-
nation ordering the strikers TO dispense.
One thousand troops were sent to Pitts
burg, the principal scene of the troubles.
About five O'Clock Saturday afternoon the
mob attacked the militia while the latter
were endeayoring TO clear Twenty eighth
street. Stones and firearms were freely
used by the rioters; the militia, in self-de-
fence, fired on their assailanls, and soon
the fight became general, continuing all
night and during Sunday. From fighting
with the militia the mob proceeded 10 de-
stroy the property of the railways, setting
fire to the cars, depots and sheds belonging
to the different corporations centring in
Pittsburg. The freight cars were broken
open and their contents carried off by men,
women and children, the authorities being
poweress to interfere. The Union depot,
one Of the finest railway buildings in the
country, was destroyed. This, with other
buildings burned, covered territory said
to be three miles in extent. The property
destroyed included two round-houses, one
repair shop, blacksmith shop and three or
four oil houses, the Union transfer depot
and offices, the Pullman Car Company's
foundry and offices, dispalchers office,
powder house, Union Depot Hotel, the Pan
Handle railroad engine house, offices and
freight depot, and the freight depot of the
Adams express company, and The loss will
be measured by millions of dollars. Dur
ing the melee the soldiers fed to one of the
round houses as City Of Refuge, but the
destroyers followed them even there, and
when other means of dislodgment failed,
they set fire TO the building, and with
persistence worthy Of better cause, and
prompted by satanic spirit, they eudeav-
ored to roast the militiamen alive, running
burning cars down to the building and urg-
ing ON the flames by every possible means.
For some reason, however, the rioters
turned their attention elsewhere, and this
gave the imprisoned soldiers chance to
escape.

The strike of the Lake Shore and Erie
railroad hands at Buffalo extended Monday
to the New York Central hands at Bnffalo
and as far east as Rochester, and the COM
pany ceased issuing tickets further west

AT ST. LOUIS.

A strike on the roads leading from ST.
Louis went into effect Sunday, and most of
the yard switchmen of all the roads have
gone into it. There were attempts made to
start out freight trains on the Indianapolis
and st. Louis and also on the Cairo roads,
but were quietly stopped by the strikers
and the crews deserted the trains. 1t is I'M
derstood that all the other roads have aban-
doned their freight trains for the present.
At least several hundred strikers are in the
yards and at the different crossings, but all
are orderly. The Toledo and Wabash men
have no special grievance against the COM
pany, but they have struck out Of fellow
ship for the employees of the other roads.
On some of the roads the wages have not
been reduced. A workingmens meeting
was held at 81. Louis Sunday, and agreed
to stand by the railroad men in their strike.
The strike at st. Louis will cause a strike
at Kansas City, Mo-, an important railroad
center, the men there having met Sunday,
and resolved TO be governed in their action
by the action at st. Louis and Chicago.

MEMoRY-CoRNER 4 II Mpso NJ
Within tho range OF their own cx-
perience many readers must have
noticed examples of quick or reten
tive memory. Frequently, however,
these powerful memories are filed
with matters of questionable value.
Of such we may mention an individ-
ual we'll known in London by the
name Of Memory corner Thomp-
son. who was remarkable for an
astonishing local memory. In the
space Of twenty'four hours, and at
two sittiDgs he drew from memory O
correct plan OF the whole parish oI
st. James. This plan contained al
the squares, streets, lanes, courts,
passages, markets, churches, chapels
houses, stables, angles. Of houses
and great number of other objects
as wells, parpets, stones, trees, etc
and an excellent plan Of Carlton
house and st. James palace. Ht
made ont also an exact plan Of The
par sh Of st. Andrew, and he Offered
to do the same with that of st. Paul
Convent Garden, st. Clement and
Newchurch. If particular house
in any given street was mentioned
he would tell at once what trade
was carried on in it, the position
and appearance Of the shop, aud itt
contents. In going through a large
hotel completely furnished, he was
able to retain everything and make
an inventory from memory. He
possessed a most mechanical mem
ory ; and he could, by reading Q
newspaper over night, repeat the
whole OF it next morning. He died
in February 1843, at the age o.
Sc. Mr.. Paxton Hood knew mar
in London who could repeat the
whole of Josephus and Wm. Lyon
like Thompson could read the Daiiy
Ad0ertiser over night, and repeat il
word for word next morning. AS O
contrast to this, on the other hand
we know an individual who Travelled
through considerable extent o.
country, and passed through several
towns ho had visited before yet was
ignorant of thessfact until informed
Of it by another traveller !--CAam-

THE LOVE oE MoSEY.--Dr Howard

I would not mention drunkenness
with all it's fearful havoc, nor gam.

love of money on the part Of women.
While open vice sends its tbOu-
sand, these fashionable and favored
indulgencies send their ten thous.

conscience, incrust the soul with an
impenetrable shell of worldliness,
debauch the affections from every
high and heavenly object, and make
man or woman the worshipper Of
