Mr. Pitober received estimates for new buildings yesterday, and will begin at once to build up his collection. Tne greenhouses were covered partly by insurance. Tho loa of th flowers, however, was of a nature that money could not compensate for. FAST TIME ON BOARDS.

The exchange with a saloon keeper of the clock that hung behind the pulpit in the Presbyterian Church In Weekawkeu for eome oil lamps has excited the religious people of Wee-bawken to an alarming extent.

Tbe congregation of tbe church is not rich, snd tbs church fnuds are very limited. Complaints wore made that the lights were so dim In the building that worshippers could not read their book from it, aud one of the Trustees thought he bud made an excellent bargain wben he induced a saloon keeper to taka the clock io exchange lor a supply of old saloon lamp. The clock had not run in soiue time, but it was a venerable specimen, and the Trustees were loth to part with it. But there seemed to be no escape from duiug so if better light was to be bad, aud so tbe clock waa glveu In exchange. The saloon keeper could not make tba timepiece work, and he aold It to a fellow-saloon keeper, who hung It over his bar and decorated it with this legend: "Arelloof the Presbyterian Church." Some of the church members happening Into the saloon saw It hanging there and were outraged at tba label.

The church iteople made such a fus about the matter when tbe facte became known amoug them that the clock was yesterday returned to lu place in the pulpit. BLldUT FIRE IX aX ABYLVU.

The fire was then almost out, and there was no necessity cf fire drill or exhortations against alarm, and the meal wss finished and tbe routine of the Institution continued. The trivial disaster was discovered by the Rev.

M. Uayden. who ba ohargs of tbe asylum.

He used a band extinguisher so effectively that the tl return had only to "wash down" wben tbey got to work. But for the prompt discovery of tbe fire the building might hare been greatly damaged, but tbe children, who were the first floor, would have been in no peril. The damage can be repaired tor $75. SOCIAL PROGRESS. George Gun ton's regular Wednesday evening lecture in tbe Rev.

Dr. R. Heber Newton's church in West Forty-eighth street last night was upon the subject of Lessons from tbe History of Social Progress.

He illustrated this by stated that tbe art of prtntiug was known 500 rears befors tbe Chrtetian era, but waa not of material benefit to civilisation until S.OOO yeara later- The Saracens nxed gunpowder, but civilisation did not pro Ut by it (if it could profit by war) until some centuries later, fee it wss also with the works ot Aristotle.

This demonstrated tbe primary and absolute necessity for intellectual development In the advancement of eivtlUattoa. A LOST IJTTLB GIRL.
