NEWARK, N. j., has become 80 unhealthy
that in some years its death rate has been as
high as 80 and 80 out of each 1000 of popula-
ton. Its 125, 900 inhabitants have great reason
for alarm. Prof. Holden has recently made a
report to the officers of the Mutual Benefit In
surance company, IN which he says thst 80 per
cent. Of the malarial diseases of the city are
from preventable causes. He points to the vile
and ll-paved streets of the city as the chief
cause OF so-called malarial diseases, and says
that bad Air, bad water, defective sanitary sur
roundlngs and filth send the death rate up to
such fearful figures.

NEARLY every coffee drinker ia partial to Java,
or Java and Mocha mixed, and not few will
be surprised to learn how largo an amount of
coffee is received at the port Of New York from
Venezuela. The amount of Maricaibo landed
there annually is estimated at $4,000 bags of
$50 pounds each, the aggregate being over TO-
o0o, ,oo0pounds and valued nominally, at 81 ,500,-
GOO. Naturally any unfavorable news regarding
the crop, coming from such heavy cotfee-pro-
ducins region, would be likely to affect the
market; hence the commotion caused by the re-
ported failure Of the crop of Maricaibo coffee.
The crop is said to have been ruined by heavy
rains, but the report will not seriously affect
prices until it shall have been confirmed by
later advices. Intelligence from Rio and Gem
tral America gives reports Of very fair crops
and prospects Of good supply.

Ffra lm Ohsnfar uounty,

On Wednesday morning abont 2
o'clock the large stone dwelling house
Of John Marshall, in Westtown town
ship, Chester county, caught fire, and
before efforts could be made to extin.
guish the flames 1t was entirely oonsum-
ed. The fire occurring at the hour In
which it did, had gained q considerable
hsadway before discovered, and when
the family we're aroused the kitchen
portion Of the dwelling was almost con-
sumed. Nearly all the furniture, TO-
gether with the houshold utensils,
were destroyed, and the heuse burned
TO the ground. The origin of the fire
is supposed to have been from the
kitchen stove, as 1t was the first point
observed to be in flames. There was
no insurance upon the building or con
tents, and the loss falls quite heavily
upon Mr.. Marshall, as his property
and furniture are estimated at between
50, 500 and $4,000.

joyable out-door rsoreations, the social

not. as brilliant as that Of twon weeks

main open until September 6, aud as
Hassler's orchestra will be retained un-
