THE CITIZENS? REFORM ASSOOLLTION. Mecting Last Evenlug—Wooden Pavements Historically and Medically Considered. The Citizens’ Reform Association held another Meeting last night, at Phenix Hall, in Court street. Mr. Morris Reynolds in the chair. Mr. Rodnay Church objected to any change being made in the constitution and by-laws of the associa- tion as had been proposed, without the consent iad ge n' f of the members of the association, Mr. Sharkey, chairman of the Executive Com- mittee, stated that the committee were authorized make certaln changes in reference to the organ- ation of ward associations, He stated also that a coumittee had been appointed to confer with other ny organizations, ot bg ee were several ling to ¢6-operate with them in the movement. Mr, Snaren Wouited know by what power the Exgoutive Committee had authorized nference ‘with other organizations. He was aéciedly oppose: Wo secrecy and thought that any proposty ion Of this Kind should be acter upon by the committee. (Con- siderable confusion and cries of “Order, order.’’) Colonel Thorpe then arose, and after order had Deen restored fade a lengthy speech upon the extravagance of the various commissiong and the Waste Of the hard earnings of <né taxpayers. He said the first pees 6f Wooden pavement probably ever laid ke such in this country was about forty years ago in Broadway in’ front of Philip Hone’s house, then Mayor of New York, ‘It was composed of octagonal blocks bout ten inches in diameter, and a foot deep. In @ very short time it became uneven on iia Burface; individual blocks rapidiy decayed, while others maintained their original form. The conae- quence was it became rougher than the old-fashioned covble stone pavement. Tne next development ‘was that the water under the pavement, hastening the decay of the wood, caused the neigh- Dborhood to be filled with subtie polsonous gases that made it unheaithy, And at last, threatened with a presentment of the Grand Jury as @ nuisance asa ¥ ad and the breeder of pestilence, it was torn UD, unl- Yeraally acknowledged as afailure. And such, fellow citizens, will be the resuit of our wooden pavements. ‘The tar will dissolve away and the water will accu- Mulate under their foundations, Then the close Deighborhoods where they exist will be infected by pernicious flavora, The decay of animal sub- siances is so perceptible that we remove the cause or fee from ites contact. But the decay of wood, the origin of the fable of the poisonous upaa, is fo volatile that Mt steals upon the vitais and produces the cniil that presages dissolution without its victim being aware of its approact. In every street where we have wooden pavements there must be @ time when children and delicate women cannot remain in their vicinity with safety, Afier some further remarks npon the heavy assessments laid by the Water Board tor paving Streets, Colonel Thorpe concluded. Other speakers followed, after which the meeting adjourned, THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCY, The New York Synod In Annual Session, The ninth annual Synod, of New York, of the United Presbyterian Church, now in session tn this city under the presidency of the Rev.

A Brilliant Scene on the Grounds Yesterday— Fifteen Thousand People in Attendance—Tie Close To-Day. Yesterday, the fourth of the New Jersey State Fair, Was a particularly exciting and brilliant one on the grounds at Waverley, owing to the large attendance and other highly interesting features. The weather Was charming, and from the moment the gate was thrown open till near the cloge the people from all parts of New Jersey and neighboring States con- tinued to pour in in @ reguiar stream. While there was a very large number of conveyances admitted, by far the greater portion of the vast con- course, variously estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000 people, cantered in on “shank’s mare.” Ags is usually the case, everybody of both sexea donned their holiday attire, The feminines preponderated as regards numbers and, it 1s scarcely necessary to add, gorgeousness of raiment, The utmost good order prevailed, @ fact that the society claims to be due in ho small measure to the anti-Bourbon rules of the association. The throng of visitora in the various buildings, Lig! ag the afternoon especially, was of acharacter that might well deter the stoutest heart from trying to effect an entrance, or after having been squeezed out to offer up a fervent prayer of thanks that he had reached the open air with a whole garment to his ba Such rushing and crushing and elbowing as was experienced yea- terday can better be imagined than described.

While the veteran turfite Mike Sandford, of Newark, was returning from the grounds in lis wagon the vehicle collided with another on the Elizabeth road, causing Mr. Sandford and two other friends to be thrown out. Mr. Sandford was severely stunned and was removed to a neighboring house. He soon recovy- ered sufficiently to allow of his being taken home.

MysTsRious DISAPPEARANCE—A NEW Way OF Ralsina THB WIND.—A notice appeared in the HERALD some days ago of the mysterious disappear- ance of a young lady named Emma §, Frary, of Staten Island. She had been on @ visit to some friends in Brooklyn and was last seen on the 7th inst., at about four o’clock in the afternoon, on her way home. As she did not return her anxious rela- tives advertised in several daily papers, A few days since a gentlemanly appearin; ‘ee man called on her friends, represented himself as @ detective and desired to confer with her mother. He informed her that her child was in Albany and bad been tered atthe Deiavan House with a companion as Mr. and Mrs. Mersereau. He said that Mr. Merse- Teau had deserted her after three daya’ resi dence, that she was not allowed to a1 at tho Delavan, but that he (the dasensise) would, if desired, goto Albany and bring her back if the family paid all expenses of board and traveiling, This was done, and, after thus inflicting agonies of mind on ail her famlly, he left to practise his diabolical trick on others for his whole story was false.

Continuation of the Trial Yesterday. The trial of Wallace McDantels for the murder of Thomas E. Corwin was resumed yesterday morning at the Court of Oyer and Terminer, White Plains, before Judge Gilbert, Beyond the evidence of the prisoner, who was called by the defence, the morn- ing session was not marked by any important testl- mony. Mr: Chauncey Shaffer, the leaaing counsel for the defence, requested three gentlemen to go to the Rosendale Hotel aud examine as to the corfect- ness of the map which was presented on the previous day. ‘The party left at six o’clock in the luorning aud returned about eleven, when they were severaily examined. The result of their obser- vations, although throwing considerable doubt on the statement of the woman “Sweitzer,” was not considered of sufficient importance to atfect the evi- deuce taken as to the scene on the piazza of the hotel when Corwin was Killed, The prisoner, Wallace McDaniels, was then called. He was quite cool and self-possessed, and gave his evidence in an easy, straightforward manner. He stated ina most solemn manner that he had no in- tention whatever of killing Corwin when he struck him with the stick; Corwin had used very insulting and opprobrious epithets toward him previous to the tragic event, and threatened his life; he also took hold of a chair and attempted to strike him with it; witness retreated back as Corwin advanced, an guarded his head with his hands; Corwin was about to strike him again, when exasperated and bellevin, his life in danger he (McDaniels) caught up the sticl spoken of and struck him with it on the head; fear- ing that as Corwin, who was a larger and stronger man than him, would get uv and Kill him, he then struck him again, but had not the least thougnt of taking his life, and did not think he nad kuled nim. Corwin was married to Mrs, Andrews, but had nothing todo with the house, which was the pro- perty of the witness. The prisoner was examined and cross-examined at great length, but his evidence ‘Was consistent and savored strongly of truth. Mr. Chauncy Shaffer then addressed the jury for the defence, and made an able and exhaustive argu- ment which took two hours and a half in delivery, after which Mr, Dykman, the District Attorney, re- plied, and Judge Gilbert charged the a The charge covered all the law and the facta in the case and was very favorable to the prigoner. The jury retired at half-past six o'clock to con- sider their verdict, At nine o'clock they sent word that there was no possibility of their agreeing, and were, therefore, locked up for the night. ‘here isa great deal of excitement in the village, and the chances of the prisoner are eagerly discussed. The general opinion is that McDaulels was justified in Killing Corwin. LACROSSE, Van Vott’s Indians played @ very exciting match game of Lacross, at Jones’ Wood yesterday after- noon. The contest began about three o'clock, and the victory was so hotly disputed by the “Reds” and “Whites” that it was very nearly dark before it fell to the favor of elther side, The match was the best three in five. The first game was won by the “Whites,” after a desperate struggle, In which the ball got rather the worst of crosse-purposes at one of the goals, where it was put home by a skilful throw of one of the “Whites.” Victory smiied on the “Reds” im the second game, however, but the “Whites? managed to win a second time in the third game, but pot without a great deal of diMcuity, thus making the score a tle—2 to 2 The struggie for the Hexy game, which was to decide the match, Wad Cou: fequentiy @ very sprited one, Almost imme- diately from the very start ‘one littie Injun boy’? “scooped up” the ball in his crosse, and made his way, with the speed of a reindger, through the eatire band of his antagonists, who endeavored by every possible Ecaas in their power to knck the bail out of his possession, Once or twicé the littie fellow lost his prize, but, with the oy of a cat, he succeeded each time m pouncing upon it again, and goiting finaily beyond the reach of his opponents and gaining almost a clear fleld for the latter's goa).

Monthly Report of the Commissioner of Agriculture, WAsHINGTON, D. C., Sept, 24, 1869, The Department of Agriculture furnishes a sum- mary of the crop reports, A summary is given showing the mean temperature and rain fall of the several States for July and August, as contrasted with those months last year. The region most sub- ject to drought, that west of the Mississippi and Missouri, has had the most regular supply of rain, and the valley of the former has had an abundant rain fall to its mouth; while Alabama and Georgia ave suffered from drought, and the Altantic States in a still higher degree, not only throughout the tide water region but in a large portion of the Eastern States, On the Southern Atlantic seaboard the heat has been greater this year than in 1363, and the rain fall less. North and east of New York tho heat has been less, as also tho rainfall. In the one case it was too hot and in the other too cold for corn and other summer crops, which suifered accordingly. While the drought has prevailed east of the Alle- ghanies the great Mississippi basin bas had an un- usual amount of rain. West Virginia and Ohio alone, of the central area, had less rain fall in August than in 1868, The excessive moisture of the summer is sustained to ita close, especially in Wisconsin, Min- nesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri. Both the early and the latter rains have been somewhat extraordinary west of the Missouri, yet the high temperature and deep, thirsty soils of that region have converted the visitation into a blessing. The drought of the seaboard has not been equalled in many years. The comparison between this year and last shows that New England has had but one-third ag much rain in August of the present year, New York a little moro than one-half, New Jersey scarcely one-eighth, Pennsylvania one-sixth, Maryland one- ninth, Extracts from correspondence will show the injurious effects of this excessive drought on corn, cotton and garden vegetables. Corn.—The corn crop has-been the prey of numer. ous ills in every section of the country. The only States that now show an average condition are Ne- braska, Kansas, Florida, Louisiana, Texas and Ar- kansas. Excessive rains retarded planting and necessitated replanting in the spring throughout the West and South. Coid, wet weather, prevented 9 healthy, vigorous growth in almost every State, and in the season of earing and maturing a serious drought affected it on,the Atlantic coast, with inju- rious heat In the South and unfavorable reduction of temperature in the North. In deep soils, natu- rally drained, the extreme moisture of the West did no fnjury. In heavy or flat lands, with clay subsoil, the damage was great, in some cases resulting in total failure. The loss as shown in the table is forty- nine per cent tn Virginia; from thirty to forty in Maine, Vermont, Maryland, North and South Caro- lina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Iliinois, Michigan and Wisconsin; from twenty to thirty in New Hampshire, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Georgia, Indiana, Ohio, lowa and Minnesota; from ten to twenty in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, and from one to ten per cent in Khode Island, Ala- bama, Mississipp!, Missouri and California. Unless the close of the season is very favorable there must be 159,000,000 bushels less than a full crop. Cotton.—There will be a reduction 1n the yield of cotton from the Carolinas to Alabama and a mate- Tial increase from Mississippi to Texas. Georgia, Florida and South Carolina have suffered most, mainly from droughth, in a few localities from rust, the caterpillar and bollworm. Our estimates make the increase in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas respectively, ten, twelve and fourteen per cent. ue probabilities at present favor a yield or 2, 750,000 ales. Whea!,—Thia crop, as a whole, is larger. The on'y States showing a decrease are Iilinvis, Michigan, lowa and California, Some of it 1s inferior in quality, but a considerable portion has been injured by rains after harvest. A considerable portion of the Western wheat is of good quality, and that of the South is decidedly miperias, 8, a8 @ rule, have yielded abundantly, price in a less degree than other species, New ork, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan and Tiltnois, all apple regions, have nearly a full supply.
