AdU0cate issue Of August Sd, he reviews
DR.. Storr's Grafton at Woodstock, Conn.
on The Moral Life of the Nation" In
this lew be admits the full force of all
the dangers which Dir. S. says menace
our nation but fails to see the power of the
counteracting forces which were presented
as being able to Offset or overcome these
dangers. He says We do not see that
attachment 10 home, in the sense which
can sustain moral life, is increasing; the
press executes a divided influence; the re-
gard for the established authority of law
seem to us to be diminishing every year"
When the Egyptian trouble began DR..
Buckley prophesied very serious conse-
/ quences and in the issue of August 10th
he says that events now justify the proph-
ecy, and that there is far more OF darkness
than of light in the present situation" In
the issue of August 18th. in an editorial
leader, he says that "Cougregationalism
is being honey combed with heresy" and
that the line drawn by the Congregation
alist between evangelical Christianity and
Unitarianism and Universalsm is line
drawn through, and not around, Congre-
gationalism." In the same issue, in a
review of one of DR.. Luther NJ. Lees
works, he says of his, Lee on Universal
ism, compared with the miserable twaddle
that some of the theological goslings OF
the present day are uttering. it is as the
granite rocks compared with bubbles"
In the same article he says DR.. Lee came
Boston to "satinzo effectually the alb.
surd transcendentalism of A. Bronson AL
colt, who still lives to utter the same
sentiments with the garrulity of incIpient
dotage, which he flung into the faces of
reformers forty years ago."

New York are never held until the begin

WHEN. Mr.. Garfield said in a public

WHEN. Mr.. Garfield said in public
address that he recognized the influence
of Jefferson to be waning and that of
Hamilton to be on the increase, he prob
ably told the truth, and might have said
more in the same strain we'll calculated
to excite apprehension for our institu-
tions At the same time his expression
has served as a mote of alarm, though not
so intended. His challenge has been an
swered by manifest tendency in differ
ent parts of the country to revive popu-
lar study and appreciation Of the sound
political teachings of Jefferson. One of
the foremost'agencies in the work has
been the Jefferson association of York,
Pa. Its correspondence with emil
nent Democrats has made valu
able contributions to the politi-
cal literature Of the day, and to
these is added the letter which we print
on our first page to-day from prominent
Republican and Abolitionist who is not
without admiration for Jefferson, and
who makes the significant admission that,
slavery being abolished, Democracy is
the true fundamental doctrine for the
weIl-being of our institutions. In his
application of the Jeffersonian theory to
some practical questions Mr.. Parton is
so unfortunate, however, that the chief
value of his letter is its service as text
for the admirable comments which
the president of the York association
makes in this effort to set Jefferson s
biographer right.

Benevolent association. The audience

interest to Mr.. Baumgardner's graphic de-
scription of the scenes and incidents of
the trip made by him and his companions
some years ago from the Atlantic to the

descriptive powers, and in choice words
vividly presented to his hearers grand
pictures OF hills and valleys, plains
and Irairies, sage-bush deserts, towering

A fire broke out yesterday morning in
the block of buildings known as the Mar
bio Works, at Brockton, Massachusetts,,
in which there were nearly dozen occu-
pants, causing total loss Of $1,000; in

out two months ago.
Early last evening the watchman at the
American Dredging company's works,
foot of Pine street, Camden. discovered q
fire in the boiler room, and by the time an
alarm was given the entire apartment
was in flames. The engines Of the fire
department responded promptly, but the

aratcd from each other by few feet,
caught one after the other, and in an hour
tho entire group was a wreck. Loss,

RUNAWAY ACCIDENTS.
Wagons Broken and Horse Hurt.

Wagons Broken and Horse hurr.
This morning Israel Johns, of Mcchan-
icsburg, came to town with his son in a
market wagon and tied his horse in front
of Marshall & Rengier's store, South
Queen street near Centre Square. The
horse slipped his bride and ran Off, pass
ing through Centre Square and ont Last
King street. The street was filled with
wagons of various kinds and the runaway
struck several Of them. A horse and
wagon belonging to 4. S. Rohrer, stand
ing in front of Givler's store, was struck,
the horse Knocked down and the axles and
wheels of the wagon 4 good deal damaged.
4 wagon Belonging to the county poor
house was run into and somewhat dam
aged, and the driver had one Of his hands
cut aud bruised. At the corner Of East
King and Duke streets the run
away came in collision with a
heavily loaded four-horse team. The
latter was not much injured by tho
shock, but the runaway horse was thrown
down and tho wagon to which he was at
tached badly wrecked, the entire top be-
lag broken Off, the wheels shattered ard
the body good deal injured. Tho horse
was caught by Benjamin Biohl and
placed in the stables Of the Leopard hotel.
He is somewhat cut about the feet, but
does not appear to be seriously injured.
No one was hurt during the runaway, but
there were many narrow escapes, both Of
men and horses The letter box on the
lamp post in front Of the court house was
broken by one OF the wagons being run
against it. The runaway was a fearful
looking one, and considering the thronsed
condition of the streets it is marvellous
that no more serious damage resulted.
Last evening two-horse team belong
ing to Levi Landis took fright at the cars
while crossing the Duke street bridge, and
ran down Duke street to Vine. When in
front of Trinity chapel they ran a,a INST
tho lamp-post and shattered the lamp. The
tongue of the wagon was also broken off.

MIR. FLOWER, the rich and brand
new young Democratic member OF Con-
gress from New York, may or may not
be proper person to head the Demo.
cratic congressional committee, but it
is very certain that his ability and dis
position to give good dinners do not
demonstrate his special fitness for the
place TO which it is said he aspires
and hopes to reach by satisfying
the stomachs Of his party associates.
There are said to be congressman who
cannot be tempted by a bribe, but who
are not proof against good dinners. The
Democratic party has some of them.
These, it is alleged, Mr.. Flower sets out
to capture by series of toothsome ban
quets. We trust that they will remem-
ber the foolishness of Esau in bartering
away his birthright for mess of pottage.
They must be hungry and thirsty fel
lows if they will auction off a part of
their party's organization for a square
meal.

The ministerial association of this
city asks lis to repeat and reaffirm its
emphatic deliverence against Sunday
funerals, except when unavoidable. Its
members declare that they lead to many
abuses of the day, distract the attention
of tic clergy from regular work and,
while they will urge upon their congre-
cations " the duty of discountenancing
and dscarding the demoralizing practice
of the burial of the dead on the Lord 8
Day." they also deem it their " Chris
tian duty, when there is no such pressing
necessity, to decline to Officiate at fu-
nerals on the Lord s Day." The request
of the ministers in this matter seems
reasonable, and they are entitled to the
consideration of the public.

Tho Feast of Purim.

The Jewish festival of Purim begins at
sundown to-day. Although Jewish his
tory gives authority for observing the feast
for one OF two days, modern usage makes
it season of feasting and gift-making for
about week. Occurring on the 14th Of
Adar, according to the Jewish calendar, it
commentaries the deliverance of the Jews
from the evil intentions of Haman, through
Queen Esther aud Mordecai. In the book
of Esther, chapter tx, the origin Of the
word Purim is found to be from Pur"
the "lot" cast by Haman to destroy the
Jews. In the same chapter Queen Esther
commands them to keep the 18th and 18th
days of Adar as "days of feasting and joy
and of sending portions to one another and
gifts to the poor.'

EarlY Chickens

Ii any ono has warm place for chicks,
it is time to set hen, for chickens hatch
ed in March will commence to lay when q
month younger than those hatched in May,
if they receive extra care. The cocks will
sell much higher and more readily than
later. A successful fancier says he
always has the chickens hatched IN
February. March, April, August, Septen-
Der and October, as such chickens pay
better than May andSJune chickens. and
the pullets will commence to lay earlier.
Those Matched August 1st will lay as early
as those Matched the 2Ssh day of May, all
having the same care. Most farmers have
a notion that hens do not pay any profit,
but if they would let their boys, girls or
wife have entire care of them for the
whole year, and have all the profit, above
the cost Of the feed, some of them would
be astOrished,
