Since Saturday afternoon a fearful fire has been Taging in the northern part of the county, about twelve miles irom this borough, in the vicinity of Gilberton, a mining town between Ash- jand and = Mahony City. It started at three o/cilock on that afternoon near the Draper, breaker of the Hickory Coal Company, in ome dry brush near the railway track, from @ spark of atreightengine. In consequence of the severe drought now prevailing the woods are as “dry as tinder, and the fire spread with astonishing rapidity. The breaker was in immisent danger, Dut was saved by the exertion of the miners an by the presence of large pilesofcoal dirt in front Oi the breaker. The flames swept on until they reached a village, romantically situated on a mountain slope, named Quality Hill, consisting of nineteen cottages, occupied by the employés of the Hickory Coal Company. These, with their con- ‘tents, were so quickly destroyed that-the inmates had barely time to escape with their lives, One hundred people were in a short time rendered homeless. The loss is estimated at 30,000, The scene was frightful—the immense Mass of surging flames, the fleeing women and children, the terror-stricken population forming a jcture which may be imagined but cannot e doscribed. The fire extended from this point cast and west, and is still raging with unabated tury. About three square miles of wood- land have thus far been destroyed, and several towns are in imminent danger of destruction, Rain is earnestiy hoped for to stay the progress f the fire.

Yesterday afternoon the Brooklyn Board of Health held a spectal meeting at their rooms, cor- ner of Court and Livingston streets, for the purpose of taking immediate steps to allay the fears which many may have entertained in regard to the reported presence of yellow fever in Brooklyn. The Health Commissioners, having made a thorough examination of the cases reported, say that they do not find any positive symptoms of yellow fever among them. Dr. Conkling said he thonght it was necessary, un- der the circumstances, to call the meeting, in order to correct an erroneous impression. Dr. Segur then submitted the following report:— Sin—Within the past ten days four cases of fever, two of them fatal, have occurred, the first two at 13 ‘State strect and ihe last two at 17 state street, One death re- sulted in each house. The two surviving patients, a boy ® xtcen yeursof ge and a woman about twenty-five have been sick. the former since Wednesday, the 18th inst., Qyd the latter since the 20th inst., and at the present time present no peculiar or untavorable symptoms, but would be generally considered by physicians as fevers of ialtypé. | Th t Case, A boy aued eighteen, ck on ine i3th and died on’ the 17th inst. He was treated by his physicians for remittent fever and a death certificate given accordingly. { did not see the paticnt; the physician reported his death to me, and the fact that his confldence in the correctness of his diagnosis had been disturbed at the last by the appear. ance of the vomited matter, especially its black color. T thought better to act on the mere suspicion of a deat from yellow fever in a crowded tenement house an neighborhood. I have been informed by physicians who have practised many years in this lécality that it has always been unhealthy, and that those who sicken there are apt todie. Accordingly Icaused the prompt removal of the body. clothing, and the fumigation and disinfection of the premises. ‘Sanitary Inspector Colton, who has had long experience as a@ yates ¢ health officer and has wWaiched all developments in these eases and made care- ful inquiry into their origin, does not, tind sufti- cient ground for the opinion that yellow fever has occurred in Brooklyn. Om the morning of the 2st Nos. 3 and 4 of these cases were reported to me, and, with Dr. Colton, I visited them. One was reported to'haye black vomit it, but on careful exami- examination I found that this was incorrect. This woman had miscarried, and her case was so much like what have seen ‘of puerperal fever that expect- ed her death, which occurred in the atternoon. to conclude :—The three cases seen present a uni- form type of fever, and bear sufficient resemblance to the description of the first as to justify the opinion that ft was not yellow fever. Dr. A.M, Bell, of th Commissioner of Quarantine, and familiar fever from experience in the United States not find in many Visits to these cases and ¢: before and after death any appearance yellow fever. B. A. SEGUR, Sani y minations resembling ry Superintendent, Dr. CONKLING offered the following :— Whercas the statement that several cases of fellow fover have recently occurre-l in our city has obtained a wide circulation, It has been deemed proper to convene this extraordinary session of this Board, and in order to allay the anxiety such reports must occasion, it is Resolved, That from repeated personal visits upon the patients by'the medical members of this Board, and trom consultations with medical gentlemen whose faralliari with the disease renders their opinions of great value, it is declared as the judgment of this Board that no casé of yellow fever now exists or has occurred in our city during the present season, Adopted. General JoURDAN remarked that he was rather surprised at reading that the Health officers were reticent in regard to these cases. Commissioner HUTCHINSON did not believe it was judicious to suppress anything. It was reported that there were several stagnant pools on Columbia, Furman and State streets, dnd it was decided that General Jourdan should call on the Board of City Works to-day and have them filled up. ‘The buildings in which the reported cases of yel- low fever existed are to be inspected and thor- oughly renovated. id SEVERE STORM IN CHICAGO, CurcaGo, June 22, 1873, Shortly after five o’clock this aiternoon & severe storm of wind and rain, ac- companied by thunder and lightning, burst suddenly over the city, and altheugh of brief duration, did considerable damage, blow- ing down derricks, tearing up wooden sidewalks, unroofing barns and outhouses, &c, The most se- rious single loss was the unroofing and partial demolition of the Swedish church on Chicago avenue, near Sedgwick street, the damage to which is estimated at $2,000. Two pleasure yachts, one containing fourteen, the other nine persons, were capsized during tne storm of Lincoln Park. They were, fortunately, near shore and all were saved.

The first case of supposed Asiatic cholera—that ofa colored woman—terminated fatally yesterday, It is said that six similar cases were reported last night by the Board of Health, and that they are in the most iilthy localities, CHOLERA PREVENTIVES. Circular from the Ameriean Public Health Association—What Should Be Done to Prevent the Spread of the Disease. In view of the appearance and progress of cholera in the South and its by no means improb- able advance into other parts of the country, the American Publie Health Association have prepared a circular concerning the means o! combating the dread destroyer and have issued it for publication, The following are the principal points in this timely and useful document :— SANITARY CLEANSING. The local conditions that chiefly promote the out- breaks and propagation oi choicra are:— 1. Neglected privies. 2 Filtn-sodden grounds. 3. Fout cellars aud filthy or badly-drained surroundings of dwellings, 4. Foul and obstructed house drains, 5. Decaying and putrescent materials, whether animal or vegetable. 6. Unventilated, damp and uncleansed dwellings and apartments. ‘These localizing causes of cholera should be promptly and very thoroughly removed before a case of the disease appears in the town or cistrict, and if any sources 01 putrescence or oO! excessive moisture remain these should be controlled by the proper cleansing, drying and disinfection, Thorough scavenging and surface drainage, with the application at the same time of quickume and and Goal tar or crude carbolic acid; whitewashing with fresh quick lime; the cleansing and thorough drying and ventilation of cellars, basements, cham- bers and closets, and daily care to cleanse, flush, ventilate and purity the sources of defilement about ali inhabited premises, wili afford almost complete Beers noe if suitable care is taken of personal ealth. The security of personal health requires pure drinking water, iresh and substantial food, tem- hoa and the needed rest and bathing of the ody. DISINFECTION AND DISINFECTANTS. The principles relating to disiniection as a means of destroying the propagating or infectious cause of cholera and arresiing putrelaction are readily understood, and may be so explained to any family that the housenold may insure its own immunity against the introduction an@ spread ef the disease. For popular use we append a brief statement of these principles at the end of this circular, and we respectiully recominend that the statement and the py aa scheduie of rules and methods be given to tlie press and to all-pripcipals of schools, superintendents ot places of public resort, railroa depots, ferries, hotels and public imstitutions and to the masters of ships and steamboats and the conductors of passenger trains throughout this Continent, believing, as we do, that by the timely and continued application of these measures the prevalence of choiera may be prevenied, But let the fact be remembered that there can be uo sub- stitutes ior thorough cleansing and tresh alr, RULES AND METHODs OF DiSINFECTIO! For Privies, Water Closets, Drains and Sewers,— kight or ten pounds of sulphate of iron (copperas) dissolved in five or six gallons of water, with half @ pint of crude carbolic acid added to the solution and briskly stirred, makes the cheapest and best disinfecting fuid tor common use. It can be pro- cured in every town and by any fainily, and if the carbolic acid is not at hand the solation of copperas Inay be-used without it. To prevent privies und water closets from be- coming injected or ofiensive, pour a pint of this strong solution into every water closet pan or privy seat, once or twice a day, To disiniect masses of filth, privy vaults, sewers and drains, gradaally pour in this solution until it reaches and Cisinfects ali the foul material. For the chamber vessels used by the sick and for the disinfection of ground upon which any excre- mental matter has been cast uway, use the solution ot copperas and carbolic acid, and for disinfecting extensive masses or surfaces of putrescent mate- rials, and for drains, sewers and ditches, this disin- fecting fluid may be used, or the “deaa oil” (“heavy oul’’) of coal-tar or coal-tar itself; coal-tar may be used as a paint upon the walls of cellars, stables and open drains. Other disinfectants, such as the solutions of ses- quichioride of iron or chloride of*ztne, are effectual in privies and drains and upon foul surfaces and offensive materials. quicktime 1s useful as an absorbent and dryer upon foul walls ana in damp places, and white- wasuing with it should be practised in common tenements, factories, basements, closets and gar- Tets, ‘fo disinfect the clothing or bedding defiled in any manner by excremental matters from the sick, throw them into asojution made as follows:— One pound of sulphate of zinc to six or eight gai- lons of water, to which add twe or three ounces of pure and strong carbvolic acid—such articles to remain therein at least half an hour; then imme- diately place tiem in boiling water, and continue boiling. If the acid is not at hand, then use the solution of zinc in water, Tue same disinfecting solutioe is excelleat for bedpans and clkamber- vessels, and tor soiled floors or defiled surfaces, Apartments, bedding and upholstery that have been used by the sick with cholera or diarrhea should be thoroughly cleansed and disinfe cted, PRINCIPLES AND DUTIES TO BE OBSERVED. 1. That thorough cleanliness, domestic and civic, and an abundant supply of pure water are essential means Of preventing cholera in any household when the disease 1s near, %. That generalcleansing, scavenging and dis- infection should be attended to in every city and town before cholera makes its appearance; and that wherever it does appear, that house and the exposed premises sould be kept constantly dis- infected, 3. That, whatever differences of opinion there May be respecting the epidemic phenomena of different periods, the paramount importance of thorough cleanliness and disiniection is to be kept in mind; and that, in the words of the Chief Medical OMcer of Great Britain, “It appears to be characteristic of cholera, not only of the disease in its developed and alarming form, but equally of the slightest diarrhcea whica the epi- demic can produce, that all matters which the pa- tient discharges from his stomach and bewels are infective; that the patients power of infecting other pees 18 represented almost or quite ex- clusively by those discharges; that they are com- paratively non-intective at the moment they are discharged, but afterwards, when undergoing de- composition, acquire their maximum iniective power; and that il they be cast away without pre- vious disinfection, they impart their own infective wee, to the excremental matters with which they mingle in filtn-sodden earth, or in de- positories and conduits of filth, and to the eMuvia which those excremental matters evolve; that if the infective material, by leakage or soak- age from drains or cesspools or otherwise, gets access, even in the smaliest quantity, directly or through porous soil, to wells or other sources of drinking water, it can infect, in the most danger- ous manner, very large volumes of the water; that the infective influence of the fn clo dis- charges attaches to whatever bedding, clothing and like things have been imbued with them, and renders these things, if not disinfected, capaple of spreading the disease.” 4. Cleansing and purity, skilful disinfection, tem- perate habits, and wholesome diet, with pure water and fresh air, are the trusted and sure means of heaith and security in all places and for all classes of people when exposed to the causes of cholera. The watchwerd against this destructive enemy should be—Remove the local causes that favor the propagation of cholera, and wherever it appears let its germs be quickly stamped out by powerful disinfectants and special cleansing.

Butterfield, clerk in the Second Comptroller's oMce, in connection with the The adjustment of certain Montana claims, for the settlement of which Congress at the last session appropriated something over five hundred thousand dollars. ‘These claims grew out of supplies furnished to the volunteer forces operating against the Indians in 1867 by itizens of that territory. Originally they amounted © $1,100,000, but were scaled down by General James A. Hardie, Inspector General of the Army to the amout above mentioned. ‘These claims have been in course of settlement since the adjournment of Congress, and over three hundred thousand dol- lars have already been paid. The particulrr cause of complaint agamst Butterfleld has its origin in the fact as alleged by various parties that Leander M. Black, of the Territory 0 Montana, and A, J. Insley, of Kansas, had given to Alexander Cummings, Adjutant Genera! of Mon- tana, $25,000 in vouchers, in consideration of Services rendered in issuing to them the quota of the vouchers claimed by Black and Insley. when the vouchers were presented here for pay- ment by P, Largey, of Montana, about three months ago, they having been hypothecated by Cummings to Largey for money advanced, Black and Insley entercd a protest before Butterfield against the payment of the vouchers, claiming them as their property. Chief Cierk Curtis, acting as Second Comptroller in the absence of Dr. Broadhead, suggested to Langey to have the dispute between the two parties interest- ed adjusted in Court, Langey accordingly called on Butterfleld, when Butterfleld gave him until Wednesday of last week to procure an injunction against their payment until the matter could be brought to a judicial termination. Tho money had, however, on the preceding Friday, unknown to Largey, been paid on the vouchers to Black and Insley, The amount was something over $16,000, It is alleged that Black and Insley liad given to a certain party in Washington vouchers to the amount of $15,009 for influence witn the Indian Bureau in fur- therance of Indian contracts several years ago. These vouchers were transferred toa gen- tleman in liquidation of a claim which he held aginst the party receiving the vouchers from Black & Insley, and these vouchers were next placed in the hands of Middleton & Co., bankers, of this city, for collection, They presented them to Mr, Butterfleld, when Black & Insley again protested against their payment to the other party, and Butter- fleld then paid to Black & Insley the amount found due according to the award of General die, The amount of money paid o both tran tions is $22,000, No censure is cast on Mr, Curtis, thongh he did not particularly examine the Montana papers presented to him by Butterfleld among others at the same time for his signature, not doubting his suggestion as to judicial determination im the dis- puted case would be observed. Yesterday the attention of the Secretary of the Treasury was called to this matter by Messrs, Wilson and Stan: ton, attorneys for Largey, Middleton & Co., bank, ers, and by Largey in person. The Sceretary in- formed those gentlemen he would give the matter his immediate attention and cause thor- ough inquiry into all the facts, It is due to Mr Butterfleld to state, on his own representation, that he can satisfactorily explain his action in the premises, and ts prepared to meet all charges, against his integrity. The New Gold Dollar and Affairs of the Mint. A telegram was yesterday received by Dr. Lin- derman, Director of the Mint, frem the Superin- tendent of the San Francisco Mint, saying there are numerous inquiries for the new trade dollar, large quantities being wanted for shipment to China on the 15th July. The Director has replied that the dies cannot be sent to San Francisco be- fore the 6th or 10th of July, and therefore the de- mand for the dollars cannot be immediately sup- piled. He expresses his regret that the prepara- tion of the dies has been delayed, notwithstanding his efforts in that direction. The gold coinage at the San Francisco Mint for the months of July and August will, according to the information from the Superintendent, be | $6,000,000, or $3,000,000 each-month. Three or four | millions of double eagles will be recoined during this month at the Philadelphia Mint. They will be sent to the New York Sub-Treasury to be paid out as interest on government bonds. The yield of the Crown Point and Belcher mines continues at the rate of $5,000,000 a month in | equal part of gold and silver. These metais are sent to San Francisco, where the gold is coined into double eagles and the silver shipped to Eng- Jand in bars. This year there will be coined at the three mints about forty million dollars of gold in- dependent of recoinage. The recoinage is for the purpose of making the coin conform to the recent law of Congress. Where there is an abrasion of more than one-half of one per cent there must be a recoinage. The export of gold coin is very trifling— not more than $200,000 this montb. The Director of the Mint has received replies to the circular sent to all our foreign Ministers for the purpose of ascertaining the standard of coinage in the re- spective countries to which they are accredited, These replies contain valuable information not hitherto possessed by the Mint. They relate to coinage generally, including tue iimit of abrasion and values in money and of account. The Government Suit Against the Union Pacific. It was said yesterday by one of the government counsel in the Union Pacific Railroad suit, that should the defendants soon put in their demurrer to the bill in equity, which is anticipated, the argu- ment will commence some time in September at Hartford. Steamboat Boller Explosio The Board appointed by the President to conduct experiments concerning boiler explosion, will meet at the Ebbitt House, on Wednesday next, to pre- pare their plan of operations. The Board consists of D. D. Smith, the Inspector General of Steam- boats; C. Copeland, of New York; J. Stevens, of Hoboken; 8B, Crawilord, of Pittsburg, and EK, Holmes, of Ohio. GERMAN ORPHAN ASYLUM.

H., June 22, 18%; AS an up passenger train over the Grand Trunk Railroad was passing the West Milan station on Saturday night a young lady named Jeannette Carkuml, about eighteen years of age, came out of her father’s house, which stands close by the track, stepped in front oi the engine, was run over and instantly killed, the wheels of the Jocomotive cutting her body entirely in two.

He was a very Utrera lawyer, AO ter Before the Senior Class—Th: Story of Christianity and Faith in God. New Haven, Conn.,, June 22, 1873. The commencement exercises at Yale properly began this morning, with the baccalaureate ser- mon before the Senior Class by President Porter. At a quarter past ten o'clock the Senior Class, Who had assembled at their lecture room in the lyceum, took their le of march for the chapel, and entering the middle aisle occupied their accus- tomed seats, while the galleries and north and south aisles of the body of the house were oc- cupied by such friends of the students as had arrived thus early to attend the exercises proper of commencement week. Alter the preliminary services, the main feature of which was the anthem, bya choir of male voices, written by & graduate of 1860 and set to music by Dr. Stoeckel, the instructor in music, President Porter announced his text to be found in the First Epistle of John, the fiith chapter and fifth verse— “Who is ne that overcometh the world but he that believeth that Jesus ts the Son of Goa 1” THE SERMON, John knew Jesus intimately while on earth, He had witnessed the power of faith in [ium over others, and, whatever men think of this faith, none can deny its power. Men tell us now that the spiritual "Obrist must give way to a his- toric Christ; that for miracles must be substituted faith in Christ’s self-denying charac- ter. We hold the opposite. In the future, as in past, the necessity of this faith will not be out- grown, but made more manifest. First, to over- come the world has been the ideal labor of thought- fulmen inallages. To do this is to understand the laws of the universe, Man must also overcome Self, and this is the hardest task, If John had known Epictetus and Plutarch he would have said that all they taught was good as far as it went, The dificulty ts, that we believe in @ person who helps us todo good. In the second place, occasion for help has in no sense been re- moved, ‘To overcome the world is as dificult asever, Science, arts and letters to the contrary, life is still a connies in every individual man. ‘Tie strong man falis in the high noon of his strength and honor, Culture enlarges our sensibilities, Our enlarged sensibilities enlarge our capacities for sin, cence must be reminded that its know- ledge is limited by infinitude. The substitutes for our old faith are insuMcient. — Civii- ization, education, elevation of tastes by letters and arts, are eficient, if they are so at ail, as they and train. If education is to train andi it must bring some personal force to attract y example, to captivate by law. Without living Raoul science and culture can accomplish very tle. WE ARE MOVED BY IDEAS, but most of ail we want men, otherwise {deals be- come idols, a tigment of the Afnold and followers believe in the study of man- hood, in the idealization of virtue. This they sub- stitute for a belief in Christ. For the personality of God they substitute a dream of moral tendency. They have no Christ, but an ideal Christian, as if one could be religious by studying religion. We now reach the positive conclusion, A personal God is the only agency by which man can over- come the world. I! this be not so, what means the faith of scientists in a mighty despot who can compel conformity with — the laws of the univers¢? What means the belief of the devotees of literature in a model? The story of the cross is the old, old story, but always hew to him who makes it so, We have heard ita thousand times, but when a man learns bis need be some experience of his lite, it is as though glad tidings of great joy were heard and heralded as on the plains of Bethlehem, CHRISTIANITY WITH CHRIST atthe head shall never be outgrown as long as siniul souls shall crave for sympathy. No man and no generation of men can outgrow occasion for a ia in God unless they outgrow the problems of ue, The factitious differences in the way of faith proclise to be removed by the growth of culture, While there never was atime im which it was so eusy to deny Christ, it is yet true that never was faith in the Sou of God so simple as now. He came to teach us to overcome the world. This conquest gained, «all else is gained. FAREWELL OF THE PRESIDENT. At this point the senior class arose in their places and re ved the larewell of the President. Ne referred to their peculiarly sunshiny and bright career in college, Death was comparatively a Stranger to them, having but twice visited their cle, once in the early and once in the latter part of their course, Yet they knew what sorrow and trouble was and what was its end in this life— namely, the discipline of those who bear it for a better life. He wished that they might all be henceforth Christians; but if they did not all ac- cept Curist in their early life his highest wish con- cerning his beloved people was that they might at least inherit eternal life. Aiter prayer and the singing of the 121st Psalm, the Presid nt came out of his pulpit, and, walking out through t ntre aisle of the chapel for the | last time, he received as he passed the grateful homage Of the class of 1873.

POUGHKEEPSIE, June 22, 1873. / For over five weeks this section of country hag been without rain, if we may except a slight. shower several days ago, For many days the heat has been intense, the ,mercury in the ther jomcter ranging among the nineties, For three or tour nights past no dew has fallem and the country is suffering terribly. The’ hay crop on uplands is entirely destroyed, but that en lowlands is safe yet for @ week, if rain comes within that time. In some sections farmers are plowing in the meadows and sowing fodder corn, fearing they will have nothing for their stock if the drought continues. Oats on rocky, dry lands are com- pletely gone. Rocky and gravelly land has turned® as red as a fox. And the mountain fires have commenced, In the high lands on the Hudson, St. Anthony's Nose, across to Fort Mopeamery. and in the vicinity of Crow's Nest hundreds of ‘tree have been destroyed by the fames.

Brown, and clearing its pathway of trees, The scene at night was magnificent, the crests of the mountains bein lined with flame, and the whole valley beneat Was the next morning enveloped tn smoke. Ganga of men were hurried to the spot, and they fought the fire with dirt and fallows, but it is burn- ing yet, and up the Hudson a smoky atmosphere peeve day and night, and the smell of fire from urning forests and underbrush ts everywhere, The Catskill Mountains are almost entirely shut from view, as also ia the Ulster range of the Sha- wangunks, There have been westerly winds for many days, and as a consequence the water in the Hudson is extremely low, and navigation norih of Hudson is yery diMicult. ‘As I close there are prea pects of rain. .
