Tee Ceremony et the Bsplist church, which had several limes been post Need, was announced for 13 o'clock, sal ten converts presented themselves for the meet baptietu. The mildness of the weather drew a 'ergo crowd to lite river, which gethered upon the steep hanks and on the bridge, at the north end of which the cere was to be performed. The morning services in the churches were just closing, end so the bridge was a thoroughfare, the throng received constant accessions, till Dearly 2000 souls were gathered at the place. The bridge, which stretches not mere than filly or sixty feet above the nate. ral font, which was used for the baptismal ceremouies, Wall toe favorite point of view for the women sad chlidren.

Just as the (bird candidate was presenting himself for baptism, there was a sharp, quick crath, a heavy rumbling, stud a proioageds soul rending sbriek from WO beings. The mule western stringer on the north span of the bridge broke like a reed, tipple; three hundred persons into the Wesel, and felling fifty feet with crushing weight upon theme The fall dislodged the stays from the abutments.

The imagination can scarcely couctive of a more terrible calamity. The I situation was so terrible, the chances of escape so few, the chance of aid so scanty, 1 that it iti merely marvelous that the loss of life is not greater. The water runs in swift i curreots over a dam not more than 100 yards above, and it was so swollen by recent Wee that its depth was about twenty feet. Not 1 only thous who were precipitated with the I felling span went under the water, but many on the other specs were either thrown by I the shock into the stream, or plunged in 1 themielves to esespe being crushed by the crazy crowd. The scene cannot be deecrib ed.

The fancy cannot picture it. The eyes i of those who witnessed it were blinded with horror, and the whole crowd on the banks atoed paralyzed tor a moment, unable to speak or move until the mina ceuld catch a a taint comprehension of the situation. An old man sat on a log near the bank 8 when the bridge went down, says "I heard the crack and saw the surging, rolling line. 0 I hesrd voices. and then my head was dizzy and whirled till the sky looked black." As soon as the fact was felt by the crowd on the tanks there was a rush to the water.

Strong men plunged in to rescue those who came to the suffice. Beards and planks were thrown to their relief, and a number cl of beats which were fortunately at hand were sent immediately to the aid of the wounded. Pew of thou) who were saved can tell who rescued them, and most of those el who were moot instrumental in saving life, 0 are unahle yet ts reced what they did or whom they helped in the moment of frenzy. el There were stretchers still clinging to the abutmints which were not teemed by the se fill, and to these were clinging persons, desperate for life. The air is thick with A matieuleus escepe and the deeds of brave Mr.

Henry T. Noble, a prominent ti. citizen and manufacturer, stood in the centre of tee spin, with his wife and Dr. and Mrs. holding little Gracie Smith in his arms.

He says "I felt the bridge 119 tremble then came a crash, and we n', were all down. I clasped the child closer, 111 and, while in the air, made a desperate effort to pluage. I ruek the water deep 't down, arid tit the bottom. I gave a spring 1 and was instantly at the surface. rt Ube child was apparently ineensible, and ci clinging to my cut and hair.

"Grabs" and "Steals." I anti an occasional reader of the Harrisburg Journalthat is, I sometimes buy it from a newsboy. Every Dumber I see has some editorial reference to what is termed by it the Congrenbional Steal," varied sometimes, by the usa of the word "grab" for "steal." I have wondered why the editor does not hurl its wrath at other "meals," such, for instance, as the Vienna "steal" of GrAiiiikM, Huta and Davis, or the "Nine Mitlion meal," in which its friend Cooper was so conspicuous. And lbsu there 10 the "salary grab" every year by members of the Legislature.

The law allows them 8700they "grab" N00 by making an appropriation in the bill of that name I suppose there must be some reapon for this oversight of the "watch-clog of the tteanury" who edits the Journal. 0e, may-ba, that appropriation bill had some provision or provisions in it, in which the proprietor cr editor, or both, had a direct or indirect interest.

Arkansas, although a paradise for fruit culture, is not the place where that delightful avocation can be carried on to any great advantage, at least we should not think so, from the following extract from a letter to the Commissioner of Agriculture "I had eight acres in apples, pears and plums twelve in peaches; a fair lot of improved hogs, and a nice lot ot sheep. My apples are all 'stolen, so that I have eons to put up for winter. My hogs have long since been stolen.

The lengliab papers contain the returns of the cost of the poor of London dnring 1872. Tee total expeaditure for the relief of metropolitan paulyrism amounted last year to tho sum of $8,784,645, being only two less than the sum expended for the supporr, of all the paupers in the Untied States, according to the returns collected by Gen.

Walker. The number of paupels in London is about 130 000, so that their cost per head is equal to $67 60. Gen. Walker found that in 470, the total number of people dependent on public charity in the United States, was 116,102, showing an average cost per head of $94 Taking into account the enormous saving effected by a centralized administration as compared with one spread over innumerable counties of this Union, the administration of our pauper relief fund can fairly enough challenge superiority over that of London.

A BRACE OF MISHAPS One of our con-sills in the rural districts, owns a miry young colta bran new fellowand yeeterday often, noon for the first time put him under harness and attached him to a trotting In order to give eclat to the event the conein drove to town, dreaming no doubt that he was drawing the lines upon an embryo Dexter.

Reachiug Centre hiquarts the colt was ma to perform 0 number of graceful movemen and 'short tame' in that central re, ia much to the admiration of the lookers on. In one of these short turns he came near demolishing a small boy, which should have proven an admonition to discontinue the exercise. But probably he thought he would make ono turn more, and he did. It proved one turn too many or one turn too short, for in wheeling in front of the banking house of Reed, McGrann 45 the driver was thrown from his eeat and be came down upon the hard-paved street, flop, like a porpoise on a sand bar. He held on to the Buse, however, and prevented the animal from getting away.

Picking himself up he took a brief inventory of casualties. They consisted of a coat of dust from top to toetor cap-a-pie, as Hamlet so beautifully expresses ita pair of ruined unmentionables, and a thorough disgust of new and cavorting colts. Taking a seat on a neighboring railing, our cousin cogitated over the situation for a few moments, and then calmly and serenely seated himself in his vehicle and silently drove away. An hour or two after thie mishap, Just on the verge of twilight, a country farmer drove into Centre Square with produce for market. His horse was a small roan attached to a light covered wagon.

He allowed the animal to stand for a moment until he could attend to some basilicas. The roan seemed to hare an idea of his owe and he started across the Square at fulIspeed, which was not much to commend in that line, but was sufficiently expeditious to start the loungers who usually congregate in that locality to yell at the top of their lunge, which brought out the inhabitante of the neighborhood. The roan broke fir East King street, and as he approached the timings assembled along the was gemtod with such shouts of derieive laughter 1 that he must have concluded that he was making an egregious as of himself, and that his brilliant attempt at a grand splurge "in town" was a most deplorable failure. At ad sante, he had not proceeded far this gauntlet of gibes and 'jeers before he allowed himself to be arrested by the slightest pull upon one of the lines which was dragging on the ground, and which was caught 'up by a leisurely passer-by. As he retruned over the same courtie which he had looked as "chop fallen as a dried pear," and evidently felt as mean as a sheep thief detected in the act.

This story has a moral which bipeds may ponder over. HABITS or BRAD: The arrival of shad and the commencement of fishing in our local waters render their nature and habits a sub. ject of interest. Thaddeus Norris gives some timely information in the May Journal of the Farm. The shad, he says, belongs to the great herring family.

Its geographical range, on the Atlantic coast, is from Florida to the Bay of Faudy. The shad always returns to its native river to reproduce its kind. Those hatched in the Delaware never enter the mouths of the Hudson or the Potomac. Each river, according to Mr. Norris, hoe its own needier race ot shad.

those of the Delaware being of larger size than the general average. It is believed that the shad does not wander very far into the ocean. Their ascent to the spa wniug grounds, in the spring, is slow and gradual. If there is a freshet, cir they encounter a of snow water, they remain stationary.

At a proportionate rate of increase the debt at the close of the present year will amount to nearly or quite one million of dollars. Such is the condition of the preseut debt.

But Reading c)mplains of being sadly in want of an increased water supply, and "must have it cost what it will." There are a number of plane for securing this in. crease. Oae is to bring in the Laurel and Oh linger creeks at an estimated coat of $250,.. 0013. Another is to establish waterworks a grard scale by drawing upon the Maidencreek, Tulpehocken, or Schuylkill.

The cost of bringing in the Maidencreek it is said will not fall short of a million dollars 'of the Tulpehocken or Schuylkill4 considerably less. This amount expended, Read ling would have a City and Water debt approximatirg to two millions of dollars.

GENERAL CANBY DEATH Mr. E.

He was among the first martyrs to the Union causea brave and very clever man, with a remarkable talent for organization, and a still more remarkable gift for winning the affectionate regard of men. It is one of the curious incidents of the war, that a regiment was formed in New York Suite, enlisted to tome extent in his native countywhere, however, he had not been known three childhoodwhich took the name of "Ellsworth Avengers." It was the Forty-fourth New York, and finally came under command of one of Ellsworth's original Zouave company; the regiment was a fine one, and saw a great deal of bloody work. A monument has been prepared for erection over El'sworth's grave, toward which the State Legislature nes voted the nr-dest sum of 1000a proper tribute to a man who did as much as any one man could to awaken the military spirit at, the opening of the war.
