Mr. John Harding. son of Mr. Sylvester
Harding, the we'll known blacksmith of this
city, died on Wednesday morning last, at
The age of q years. 1t will be remembered
that young Harding had been for some time
. victim of the ravages of o tapeworm. and
that some months ago, the worm having
passed from his stomach, it was supposed by |
him and his family that he would then re- |
,uperate and finally regain absolute health.
But, on the contrary. he has ever since been |
gradually declining in strength, until he
VAS compelled to yield entirely, and he pass
ID away. Harding was an unusually we'll |
developed and Muscular young man, and
lew months ago no one could predict so |
speedy dissolution. His father and his
family have the sympathy of many warm
'rien Dis in this their time of sorrow.
No special attention seems hitherto to
nave been called to the remarkable portraits
If American statesmen that have recently
been appearing in Harper's. They have
included so far fnll-page portraits of Wash
ngton, the elder Adams, Jefferson, Madison,
and Alexander Hamilton, besides several
smaller portraits; for the May number we
IRE promised Monroe, Henry Clay, and
Rufus King; and Mr.. Kruell, the distinguish
ed engraver who has done most Of these, is
understood to be busy upon the younger
Adams, Jackson, Calhoun, Webster, and
others. The portrait of Buchanan in the
January number may also be mentioned.
Many Of these have been engraved from
original paintings or drawings not before
and the result is likely to be an
American portrait gallery fifty presented in
the highest style Of the especially American
art of wood engraving.
About one O. clock on Wednesday morning
fire was discovered issuing from Apollo Hall
on Market street. An alarm was sounded
and the fire brigade turned out, but the fire
had made SO much progress that it was i'm
possible to save the building, and ii was en-
tirely consumed, together with it contents,
including piano, scenery, etc. Rehearsals
have been held in the hall several evenings
lately BY a number of our citizens who have
been at work ON play for the benefit of the
Kindergarten cottage fund. They had just
put in some new scenery which was also
destroyed The fire was undoubtedly the
work of an incendiary. as there was
no FIRE in the building since last week, and
those who first reached the scene say that
they found the rear door open and the lock
pried of. The building was the property OF
Mr.. H. B. Hinsiale, who loses about $2,
600. He paid 81 500 for it few years ago,
and expended over $4,000 in altering and
refitting it for public place of amusement.
He had an insurance of So, 500 on the build
ing and $1,000 the piano. Had it not been
for the soaking the adjoining buildings got
from the heavy rain all day Tuesday, they
would probably have also been consumed.
