The following is a summary Whole number of votes 13.33 Yes 720 No 13 As soon as the result was announced, the wildest Every plantation in the county suffered from the storm. Twenty gin houses are known to have been destroyed, and of the cotton in bloom but a small proportion will be saved. In Jefferson County the loss is estimated at $200,000.

In Suwannee County the cotton which had opened was blown oat and go beaten into the sand as to be utterly worthless. Much injury was done to the unpicked open cotton, corn and fodder. The sugar-cane was blown to the ground, and the agricultural productions of the whole county much damaged. In St. Marks every house was washed away, and twenty families were left houseless.

At Cedar Keys. Levy Countv, the waves of the gulf were carried over the main street into tho bayou. In the town of Apalachicola, about twenty dwelling-bouses were entirely demolished, more than twice that number were unroofed or otherwise badly injured, and scarcely a house iu the town escaped some injury. One-half of the business portion of the city is in rums. Twelve vessels owned have lieen sunk, wrecked, or totally destroyed 1 being driven upon the shore.

The population of the town is about 12r.O in number, and composed most Wot laborers and fishermen. The damage to (he city is not less than $250,000, and the citizens, iiiany of whom lost their all, are not able to replace one-teuth of the property destroyed. They therefore appeal to the wealthier cities of the North and Sontti to lend their aid in repairing the damage done by the hurricane. NEW YORK. ernor Smith had not bought up any of the securities of the Vermont Canada road as intimated.

Mr. Todd said that he was creditablv informed that Governor Smith, with a knowledge tbat the rent would be stopped, and the stock naturally depressed, had sold from 600 shares down to forty. The Rev. Mr. Wilson wished a vote conW he cast showing It to be tbe intention of the stockholders to clear away all entanglements and indebtedness, and said the affairs of tLe compauy will be safe in the bauds of honest and intelligent men, who though they make mistakes, will soon correct tbem.

Mr. orris said he hoped a resolution would be passed tbat the directors shall take measures to have a motion brought by which the case on the docket shall be tirongbt to a termination and tbe road taken out of chancery. No action was taken relative to this suggestion. The question It-tore the meeting wa then put and carried, and Messrs. Charles M.

Ellis Samuel Wells, A. G. Safford. George l. Noyes.

Leverett Saltonstall and Jonathan were appointed. r. Charles C. Collin said he thought the remedy which the directors propose bv their report is by an. appeal to the United Slates Court.

He opposed tbat course until all other means have been exhausted, and cited tbe ease of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, in which receivers were appointed by the United States District Couit to issue a loan for the preservation of property which should take precedence as mortgage bond. That principle having been recognized in the United States Court, he urged it would be folly to go into the United States Court, until the remedies of State courts have been exhausted. After some further discussion on a motion to take Mr. Ellis's previous motion from tbe table, which failed, tbe meeting adjourned. At 8 o'clock A.

October 16, a special car for White River Junction will leave the Lowell depot for tbe accommodation of stockholders, which will return, the same day. excitement prevailed; men threw up their hats, handkerchiefs, umbrellas, and cheered lustily, aud for ten minutes me unairnixn could not be beam. There were loud calls for John C. Pratt, and after considerable persuasion he was induced to mount the platform and express his thanks. He said that lie had fought hard for annexation, and that they had won a glorious victory tliey sill could sleep in Boston tonight, and he hoped that no hard feelings would be engen dered by he result.

J. M. Galvin. A. S.

Brown. W. J. R. Evans.

X. B. Prescott, J. T. Payson and Talbott were successively called on, but beyond expressing their satisfaction at the result nothing was said.

Mr. J. Mehan, one of tlie strongest opponents of the project, was called upon, and said that lie bail worked against annexation because he thought it. would be in jurious to the interests of the working men. but since the majority tnougnt dirtereutiy, ue willingly acquiesced in their decision.

IN BROOKLINE, Though each party in Brookline claimed in advance that it would be victorious, yet both acknowledged that the fight would be a close oue. and the victory thus be an honor to the winner. The polls opened at 9 o'clock A. and the voting was superintended by the Selectmen, Messrs. Charles D.

Head, Horace James, Charles K. Kirby. James W. Edgerly and D. B.

Brodhead. There was a great abundance of ballots, which were thrust upon approaching voters bv loud-voiced members of rallying committees. AH day long the neutral spectator was subjected to the impression of various conflicting opinions, the only similarity between the contending parties being that each believed, or professed to believe, that it was ahead. All doubts and contentions, however, on that score were settled by the final announcement of the vote, which stood Yes No 7U7 IN BRIGHTON. No one expected that there would be any great struggle iu Brighton, it being regarded by most people as pretty certain that the vote in favor of annexation would be at least two to one.

A great deal of the opposition in this as in other places came from those employed by the town, directly or indirectly, and their interest was, therefore, rather of a bread and butter nature. The polls were opened at 9oclock A. and the Selectmen and the Town Clerk were present to see that fair play was had- At 12 o'clock an announcement was made that there had been 230 votes cast in favor of annexation to 153 opposed, and this was considered by all as nothing other than could be expected. The result at the close of the polls was Yes 622 No 133 THE RESULT IN FIGURES. The Vote of Boston.

Winch, who had resigned on Account of the pressure of other duties. It was evident that nearly all the voters of th forenoon were cntine "Yes" upon all the questions. It was a foregone conclusion from the opening of the polls t-re that South Boston had gulped down all Ik nreiudioes and was ready to strike hands with the municipalities seeking admission to Boston as "iendly wards.

Considerable interest was shown in the business ot the day in Ward and the voting was rather brfck during the early part of the day. So far as could be iodaed tue vote was pretty evenly balanced and each tide was putting out its utmost strength Theie was nothing of special interest to record the election. The polls were closet! promptly at 6 cloefc, and in twenty-five minutes the result was made known, and the ward room closed, much to the disappointment of many who came to learn the result, which was as follows: Charlestown.

The excitement created by the processions and meetings of Monday evening remained unabated throughout the whole of yesterday, and, early tn the morning, the rallying committees were hard at work preparing for the battle. Posters innumerable were placarded aDout town and in the ward rooms offering advice and instruction, and asking endless questions such as, "Are you freemen or areyou slaves?" "Cannot Bunker Hill support herself?" "Will you sell your birthright?" etc.

And also furnishing the gratuitous Information that "Union is strength "In union there is prosperity," etc. Posters were also abundantly circulated, giving encouragement to the timid voters, especially the Government employes, by stating that the Hon. D. W. Gooch would protect voters in the exercise of their rights and see that no man's opinions, as expressed by his vote, would prejudice hi9 position or place.

It was evident from the polling of the first lot of votes that a large vote would be cast, -and both parties seemed determined that, if they were beaten, they would be beaten squarely by opposing numbers, and sot by any fault of their own in not bringing ont all their available votes. That both parties were working hard was clearly evident from the fact that 250 names were added to the voting list on Monday evening. The tickets of the annexationists were very elaborately printed, and were much larger than those of the "antis." The usual amount of loud talk was indulged in in the ward rooms, and the Navy Yard was the principal topic of conversation. The report that the Hon. D.

W. Gooch had promised his protection to voters was denied, and the rumor that the Navy Yard employes had instructions to vote for annexation was circulated. Ward I. In this ward the voting was unusually lively, and was carried on in the vestry of the Freewill Baptist Church, formerly Seminary Hall. In this ward a vacancy in the Common Council was the subject of voting as well as the main question of an-.

nexatiou. But little interest was taken in this vote, however, and Winsor right and Edwin Sibley were 1 the only candidates. The following officers were chosen to fill vacancies before the voting on the main -question began: Warden, Dennis i. Quirk; Inspectors, Richard M. Murphy and Michael O'Connor.

It was the general opinion that this ward would vote in flavor of the union, and the expectations were handsomely realized, as the following will show: Yes, 7b2 no, 508; majority, yes, 274. Ward II. Ward XL, the Tammany ward, was claimed by both parties, and the war of words was carried on with a vigor that showed that that ward had been strongly drummed, and the swagging and extravagant boasts of both sides gave evidence that the vote would be a close one. Several Boston men were in this ward, peddling tickets and talking pretty ioud one of them that a person couid make a living in Boston, but could not in Charlestown, and was exceedingly hnrt when he was asked why be did wot "make hia rum on Prince street pay." The greatest vote was polled in this ward from noon until 2 o'clock, that being the time allowed the Navy Yard men in which to exercise their right of sulf rage. The "antis" carried this ward, the vote being: Yes, 728; no, 823; majority, no, 93.

Ward III. The voters of this ward met at Union Hall, on Main street, and did their business in a very quiet and orderly manner, and did not seem disposed to excite themselves more than was absolutely necessary. Notwithstanding the lack of excitement the voting was brit.k and the rallying committees worked hard. The following were the" ward officers elected previous to the voting: Clerk, Augustus Storer; Inspectors, Dr. William G.

Bowd and J. J. McCarthy. Although it was thought that this ward would vote for annexation, few thought that the annexationists would get -as large a majority as the final result of the voting showed. The vote was: Yes, 730; no, 616; majority.

ee, 114. The vote was an exceedinglv large one, tho total being 4187. The result of the balloting was received all the wards with loud cheering, mingled, of courte, with hisses and exclamations of disappointment. The vote in 1854, although the total was much smaller than that of this year, shows a majority very nearly the same as that gained this vear, as the following vote of 1854 will show: Ward yes, 5J1; no, 269. Ward ves.

387; no, 438. Ward yes, 494; no, 410; majority in favor of annexation 295. In Ward Mr. Winsor Wright waspleeted to the vacancy in the Common Council, defeating his opponent, Mr. Edwin Sibley, by forty-eight votes; Mr.

Wright receiving 582, Mr. Sibley 534. Contrary to expectation the city was unusuallv qniet, last evening, and all seemed to feel that they might as well make the best of the sitnation, and setile down as respectable citizens of Boston. No arrests were made. IN WEST ROXBURY.

At 9 A. M. there were about 100 votere present in the Town Hall, and under the supervision of the Board of Selectmen the polls for the election of a moderator were kept open for fifteen minutes. N. B.

Prescott, an annexationist, was declared elected by a majoiity of one, ninety-three votes having been polled. The voting then began on the question of the converts to. theU" tST ers. Prominent amongst thosn ii, in the interests of annexation, JndworSd 1 n'1 Messrs. John C.

Murray's New Liecture in the Iijcenra Course. About two-hirds of Music Hall was filled, last evening, by residents of Boston and its vicinity, whose desire to hear Mr. Murray's new lecture on the Civilized Heathen caused them to be present, in spite of the rain and the allurements of the annexation excitement. The lecture was the one delivered in Springfield, last Friday evening, polished ami completed, with here and there new ideas introduced ami old ones omitted. There was but very little noisy applause during tbe delivery of the lecture, but silence and the closest attention complimented the lecturer far more highly than coidd the loudest plaudits.

Mr. Murray began by stating that he had intended, originally, to open up the inner life and character of the American people, so that tbe faults in each might be seen and avoided. But after investigation, lie had found the picture so dark that be shrank from holding it up to view. We live, said he, in a nonionizing age. This privilege to civilize nation is based on the assumption that our civilization, our religion, our financial practices, our domestic life, are better than theirs.

He doubted that that assumption would bear the test of investigation and comparison. He designed to show this by inviting attention to one religion and one country, both called heathen, Buddhism and China. He intended to show both were against America and the American religion. To most of us tbe name of Buddha suggests nothing but dark rites and mysteries, strange and heathenish but a religion which claims the assent of more than one-third of the people under tbe canopy of God's heaven, numbers nine nations as its followers, and has developed more of art and science than we shall for 300 years to come, must be treated with respect. Our religion may find in it some things worthy to be copied.

New England may go to school to China, Japan and Ceylon. The basal idea of this religion is "The infinite capacity of the human intellect;" it has about it nothing sensational or emotional. It always appeals to reason tolerates no debased passion or undue appetite; seeks to win converts only by arguments and persuasion. Its weapon is the sermon, its champion, the brain; iti reliance, argument. For 2: years it has known but one religious war, and that of so little importance that in our day but little can be discovered of its origin, Its course or its results.

Compare this record with European history, with tbe records of our own Boston. Buddhism never persecuted, never deceived, never debased or lis-couraced literature; never appealed to prejudice or passion never had recourse to tbe sword. If this be beat hem it is civilized heathenism. But Buddliism is more than this. Its priest recognizes as full man and brother whoever possesses intellect.

It is only of late years that we have discovered that the Church and State should exist apart, but the Buddhist religion has had no connection with the Government for 3000 years. We establish hospitals for suffering humans they for suffering brutes as well. Our magazines are just beginning to advocate the planting of shade trees, and we shall do it. if at all, as a matter of taste. They have done it from a sense of duty for thirty-three centuries.

Their homes, from the lowest to the" highest, are always open, and they receive every stranger as the guest of God, to be given the best of everything We, too, entertain strangers at hotels, and at our homes, if they come armed with letters of introduction from worldly-great people. The testimony of missionaries who have siient years among them is that they are extremely polite, almost universally teuiticrate. and that indecencies of word or act are seldom, almost never, seen. Here, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, it is almost impossible to maintain a law prohibiting the sale of intoxicating drink, but China long ago refused to license the sale of opium, refusing to receive a dollar from what injures the ieople. Whence came the power to lift them up above Christians and Christian morals? But, leaving religion, let ns compare ourselves as a nation with the Chinese.

There are many reasons why at this time we should take a great interest iu them. The Heathen Chinese are at our door; moreover, we are eager to Christianize them to change their morals, habits, customs; to put new foraes and figures into their literature; in short, to Anglicize and Americanize them. All these things will make great changes. Attempting this is assuming that our morals, fashions and customs are better than theirs, uhina is twice the size of the United States, and includes within its borders, 5,000,000 square miles. It is densely populated, containing 500,000,000 inhabitants fcalf the population of the globe.

This is the mass which we propose to teach. As a nation, it has literally outlived history. Rome, Greece and the other nations which we call ancient have passed away, but China still stands the same. Not an art has been lost, not a science forgotten nothing has gone. Its oral language has beeu preserved without the change of a tense; its mechanical triumphs are unrivalled its great wall still stands, a magnificent work; its longest canal is lunger than tbe Erie.

Two thousand years ago, the country was perforated with artesian wells, and we have been compelled to go to China to learn their construction in the best form. It understood the circulation of the blood 2300 years ago: inoculated all its children in the ninth, possibly in the fifth had splendid libraries of primed books centuries before tbe art of printing was discovered in Germany. The basal idea of the government is paternal, and here is one of the chief reasons of its stability. Tbe Emperor is regarded as the father of the entire people. Take the matter of office.

"I was about to day that you knew how people gained office here, but God only knows; it is among the mystic arts. In China, education is the great requisite for office. None but thorough scholars are honored with places, and the Crest may work himself np to any station. They all these things. What do wo propose to do for them? To teach them, to cheat? To forge? To get drunk? To become Irreverent To adopt our fearful American profanity, the grossest on earth? When American habits have become better, when we have escaped heathenism at home, we shall be more ready to go abroad with our At the conclusion of Mr.

Murray's lecture, Mr. Redpath read a letter from the Hon. Charles Sumner, in which that gentleman stated that all bis arrangements had been made in good faith, and that Mr. Kedpath had been justified in making all the announcements that he did, but on account of the condition of his health he would have to have ail his engagements cancelled. Mr.

Redpath said that it always was the custom when a lecturer was compelled to cancel his engagement to put in his place a superior lecturer hut in the case of Mr. Sumner that would be an impossibility. He therefore proposed to have the best orator he coold find in Mr. Sumner's place, and in addition to give to every season ticket holder a reserved seat for one of Mr. Gough's Saturday afternoon lectures.

Such tickets can be had, today and tomorrow, at Russell's music store. VERMONT AND CANADA. Stockholders' Meeting, Yesterday The Affairs of the Corporation Discussed. There was a meeting, yesterday forenoon, of those stockholders of the Vermont Canada Railroad corporation who may be nnable to attend tbe annual meeting at White River Junction on the 16th inst. The meeting was called to order at 11 o'clock iu Union Hall, No.

300 Washington street, and the Hon. Leverett Saltonstall chosen President, C. H. Fiske of Weston officiating as Secretary. Mr.

Mixter stated the object of tbe meeting, which was to awaken an interest in tbe annual meeting to be held on the 16th. Mr. Griswold moved the appointment of a committee of three to nominate a list of directors to be reported to the annual meeting, and to solicit proxies to be used at the annual meeting. Mr. Ellis wished that reiHirters should be excluded, as be was opposed to having any action which they might take published, and moved tbat the motion for a committee be laid upon tbe table, and that the meeting go into a private session.

This motion prevailed and tbe reporters retired to an ante-room, and were absent about four minutes and were then invited to relurn. Mr. Mixter made a statement of the work of the directors and their intercourse with the trustees, and said that they had done all they could. They had done nothing which imperilled the rights of stockholders, ami if they had gained nothing it was because they had been unable to accomplish anything with the courts and trustees, In response to a query of Mr. Loring, Mr.

Griswold detailed a meeting which he and Mr. Saltonstall had with Governor Smith, his brother and Mr. Cheney at the Revere House. Mr. Saltonstall said that he attended in response to a written invitation by Governor Smith, and he supposed it was to be a general meeting of the stockholders, and was surprised to find only two or three present.

Mr. Griswold then stated that Governor Smith was trying to depreciate the stock of the Vermont Canada road, and wanted to make it a part of a consolidated line to be called the Central Vermont. Mr. F. A.

Brooks detailed the position of the present Board of Directors, which had unfortunately acted during the vear as a house divided against itself, and that in part accounted for the little they had done. Mr. Durant then made a lengthy speech, in which he criticised the action of the directors in neglecting to audit the books of the company, and spent all their time and a good deal of money in a tedious lawsuit. It was then voted to limit speeches to live minutes. Mr.

Nichols, one of the directors, objected strongly to gentlemen who were directors of the Vermont Central road, being also directors of the Vermont Canada. He said that Governor Smith's action was unsatisfactory, and that by the 1st of next December there would be 260,000 rent due on tbe Canada road. He stated that it was almost impossible to obtain justice in Vermont courts, and that tbe stockholders should go into the United States courts and assert their rights. His remarks were received with considerable favor. Mr.

Loring said that It appeared that If there was an antagonism between tbe directors of the Vermont Canada road and the trustees it was time that the matter was fought. Mr. Griswold said that he bad good knowledge that Governor Smith proiosed to depreciate the securities of the Vermont Canada nnl the Vermont Central roads, with a view to bring- 1ii2 them up for the consolidated Central Vermont 1 1 1 1 line. Mr. f-IIlS moveu Hint in iue seieciioii 01 uijcvjl-ors no gentlemen interested in rival roads should be chosen, and thev should be instructed to enforce the rights of the stockholders of tbe Vermont.

Canada road under the lease and the. decree of tbe Vermont Central. Messrs. Griswold, Sewall and Loring were opposed to issuing special instructions to the directors, and Mr. Ellis withdrew his motion.

A gentleman moved an amendment, that a majority of the directors be Massachusetts men. After some further general discussion, Mr. Ellis's motion was tabled and the previous motion of Mr. Griswold was taken up. Mr.

Durant said that Gov A TERRIBLE MURDER. Heavy Iefalcation of a Lowell Cashier. OTHER CRIMINAL NEWS. A Hot Butchered by Thieves while Attempting to Save His Grandmother's Property An Excitine tceue at Kreseeville, Monroe County, Penn. Mit.foki, October 6.

Kresgeville, a little settlement of farmers in Scott township, Monroe county, adjoining this county, and the region surrounding it has been thrown into a state of excitement by a horrible tragedy which has just occurred on a farm a mile or so from the village. The details have just been received here, from Stroudsburg, the county seat of Monroe coutity. John or James Mutliey, a "lad ten or twelve years of age, son of Mr. Jacob Mutliey, a respected and well-known citizen of the county, went to the farm in question, to pay a visit to Mrs. Charles Hawk, his grandmother, who lived on the place.

Like all the farm women of that section, Mrs. Hawk, although advanced in years, worked herself in the fields. She lived alone. Having her potatoes to dig, she left her grandson alone to take care of the house on Wendesday and Thursday of last week, and went out in the field, some distance-away. She was gone all day, and it was getting dark when she returned to tho house.

To her surprise she found it locked up, and no one was to be seen on the premises. At first she thought that her grandson might have gone to the village, but sbe dismissed it as improbable. Then the fear stole over her that all was not right, ami she went and called a neighbor, living a mile distant, to go over the house with her. When they returned, it was quite dark. Forcing the door in, thev entered.

Procuring a light, they found the room littered up with the contents of drawers aud boxes. They called the name of the boy, but received no response. Finally they went to the cellarwav. and. to their horror, saw marks of blood in the passage.

Entering the cellar, the first object the light shone on was the body of the boy, lying in a pool of blood, with one arm doubled up under him and the other thrown over his head. A ghastly gash extended across bis throat, almost severing his head. Horrified beyond endurance, Mrs. Hawk fainted away, and her companion ran out of the house and through the neighborhood, giving the alarm. In a short time the house was filled and surrounded by an excited crowd of farmers men, women and children.

Mrs. Hank was brought out of the cellar more dead than alive, and restored to consciousness. A search through the house revealed the fact that the perpetrators of the murder had killed the boy to hide a jetty robbery. A small sum of money, probably titty dollars, "several articles of clothing, and other things, were stolen. My informant says that suspicion at once fell on two tramps who ha I been around for a dav or wo, sleeping in barns and living on the hospitality of the farmers.

They had the dav before been given dinner by Mrs. Hawk, since which time they had not been seen. Defalcation In a Lowell Bank The IefaultinK Cashier Resigns The Capital of the Bank Unimpaired. Lowvix, October 7. A deficiency has been discovered in the accounts of the cashier of the Merchants National Bank, but the capital of the bank ($100,000) is believed to be unimpaired, so that depositors will mfter no loss, and the business of the bank will continue as usual.

Colonel Neudham, Bank Examiner, has been requested to make an official examination, and its result will be given to the public as soon as known. In the meantime, as above stated, the directors fully believe, from their knowl edge of the matter, that the capital Is entirely unimpaired, aud no alarm need to be felt by the public in relation to deposits. As for the Ceutral Savings Bank, no irregularity has been discovered, and none is suspected, and the bank is believed by its trustees entirely unaffected. It may be remarked in this connection that early last week, the account of the Merchants Kational Bank with the Second National Bank or Boston was overdrawn. This was not an unutmal occurrence, with this or any other bank.

The cashier, Mr, J. N. Peirce, telegraphed that the money would be sent uext day. It was not sent, however, and, after a time, the checks of the Merchants Bank were ishonored by the Second National. As soon as this became known to the directors, the money was sent, so that their balance in Boston was made (rood, audi their checks have, of course, since been honored regularly, and they now have a strong balance to their credit.

The affair led to the discovery of the defalcation of the cashier, which be acknowledged, and bis statements, so far as investigated, have been verilicd. The examination has satisfied the directors that the bank capital is entirely unimpaired. The amount of deposits now held by the bank is large, and it will keep business going on as usual. When the official examination ia made the result in detail will be announced. Mr.

Pierce has resigned. Wednesday Morning. Tha President and Directors of the Merchants National Bank, with Colonel Nt-edham, Bank Examiner, have been working all night examining the accounts of the defaulting cashier, ho is reported a defaulter in over $30,000. They will not complete the examination before daylight. The Jersey City Clairvoyant.

Yesterday morning at 9Vi o'clock, a large assemblage of the former friends of the late Rev. George Randall, D. Bishop of Colorado, met at St. Paul's Church to participate in the memorial services which were conducted Hv the Rev. Dr.

Babcock of Dedham. Besides a large uiimber of former personal friends and acquaintances, there were several clergymen, both of the Episcopal Church and churches of other denominations in attendance, while the officers and members of the Grand Lodge, of which the deceased was a Past Grand Master, attended in body. The Rev. A.T. Twing.

D. the Rev. Dr. Potter of Grace Church, New York, who represented the Domestic Committee, and the Rev. A.

H. Vinton, D. of Boston with the officiating clergyman occupied tho chancel. At the conclusion of the prayer, the Rev. A.

T. Twing made a brief address, in which he paid a high compliment to the labors of the deceased, both us rector of the Church of the Messiah and Bishop of Colorado. Alluding to the missionary work ot Bishop Randall in the Territories, he said that when he went to his work in the West he found two clergymen ami two organized churches only. There are, todiv. in these thrw Territories, Colorado, Wyoming and New Mexico, twenty-four organized parishes, twenty church edifices and fifteen clergymen.

Besides, there are established in that jurisdiction three verv important institutions of learning, Wolfe Hall, at Denver, a girl's school, a private institution, which is worth more than $100,000, Jarvis Hall, a school for property worth 40,000 or Matthews Hall, a theological school, in which are many students, young men of the soil, pursuing their studies now. Referring to the character and piety of the late bishop, he said It was a pleasure to have him come to my bouse; be always brought joy there. In sorrow and mourning it was as well a joy to have him come. We wept and mourned at the head-quarters with those who mourn and weep here. He had given to the church a blessed and a noble example.

God grant that we may all have grace to follow him, and that our earthly career may terminate as his has terminated. The Rev. A. II. Vinton, D.

then delivered a brief memorial address, in which he reviewed Dr. Randall's career from his seminary life down to the period of his demise. He said that energy and perseverance were his principal characteristics; he built the Chapel of tho Messiah and assumed the rectorship when the parish was poor, and it is questionable if any other man would have done as much with as little assistance as he did. The speaker then reviewed Dr. Randall's connection with the School Committee, his career as editor of the Christian Witness and Secretary of the General Convention, and dosed with the following touching remarks: When we see his sun going down, almost prematurely, we feel, or I feel, thnt we ought always to thank God for the privilege of such an intimacy, and to cherish his memory with sacred-11 ess and delight.

He has come back to us now that we may say farewell. Do I not seem, in your minds, to give in advance tho echo of the great day, "Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over few things, and I wili make thee a ruler over many things. Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." May we not be permitted to take up that echo and say: "Friend, brother, father in God, enter thou into thy rest. Thou hast been faithful over few things, go and be ruler over many things. Fare thee well." The exercises closed with the singing of Old Hundred and a benediction by the Rev.

Dr. Babcock. and the audience passed out in file and took a last look at the remains of one whom they had revered in life, and had come to honor in death. The body was taken to Warren, R. for interment.

A FIREMEN'S JUBILEE. Annual Parade of the Beverly Department. Yesterday was the day set for the annual parade of the several organizations composing the Fire Department of the Town of Beverly. Hardly could a more inauspicious day have been selected, but as all the preparations had been made, the programme for the day was gone through with, with the exception that the intended line of march was considerably shortened. The line was formed on Park street, at 1 P.

the whole department being under command of Chief Engineer N. H. Foster. The order of the procession was as follows: Squad of Police; Edmands's Band of Boston, 20 pieces; First Divifion, under Assistant Engineer F. S.

After a short march through the drizzling rain, the line was drawn up in front of the Town Hall on Cabot street, and after disposing of the apparatus, the men filed into the hall where a substantial dinner awaited them.

The dinner may be said to bo characteristic of the town, for huge dishes of baked beans graced the tables, and everybody knows that Beverly is celebrated for its baked beans. What the secret of the cooking may be, no stranger knows, but certain it is Beverly beans cannot be beat. But beans were not the only good things provided, for there was plenty besides, to all of which the cold and hungry firemen did ample justice! Dinner over. Chief Foster called upon several gentlemen present to address the men, and remarks were made by the Rev. Mr.

Emery, the Rev. Mr. Lamphear, the Hon. John T. Baker, Mr.

Lowe of Charlestown, the builder of the hose carriages, and others. The company were alRO favored with some fine selections of music bv the bands.

Louis, October 7. William Shelby. State Superintendent of Insurance, yesterday, hied a petition in the Circuit Court, asking for an injunction to restrain the St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance Companv from transacting anv further business, anu especially from issuing any new policies, reinsuring any of its risks or paying out any money wliateyjr. The petition further asks for the appointment or a receiver, and for a decree dissolving the company and winding up its affairs.

Shelby is based uion the fact, as he alleges, that on examination of the affairs of the company discloses that its liabilities exceed Its assets by exclusiveof capital stock. 'e'ty also declares that, the list of policies furnished to him, and upon which the above liabilities are based, is not a list of all the policies issued by the company, but that a large number of policies have been wrongfully cancelled and erased from the books and all the liabilities of the company thereunder illeealty ignored, thereby making the liabilities anpear much less thin they actually are. A writ or injunction was granted, returnable ou the 11th of October. Fire. New York, October 7.
