Since Saturday afternoon a fearful fire has been Taging in the northern part of the county, about twelve miles from this borough, in the vicinity of Gilberton, @ mining town between Ash- land and = Mahony City. It started at three o’clock on that afternoon near the Draper, breaker of the Hickory Coal Company, in gome dry brush near the railway track, from a 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 imminent danger, Dut was saved by the exertion of the miners an by the presence of large piles of coal dirt in front Of the breaker. The flames swept on until they reached a village, romantically situated on & 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 mmates 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 eons which may be imagined but cannot e described. The fire extended from this point east 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 earnestly hoped for to stay the progress ef the fire.

Yesterday afternoon the Brooklyn Board of Health held a special 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 thought it was necessary, ua- der the circumstances, to call the meeting, in order to correct an erroneous impression. Dr. Segur then submitted the following report:— Sim—Within the past ten days four cases of fever, two of them fatal, have occurred, the first two at 13 ‘State street and ihe last two at 17 state strect. One death re- sulted in each house. The two surviving patients, a boy # xteen yeurs of age and a woman about twenty-five have been sick. the former since Wednesday, the 18th inst., d the latter since the 20th inst., and at the present time Presént po peculiar or untavorable symptoms, but ‘would be generally considered by physicians as fevers of amalarialtypé. The first case, a boy aged eighteen, fell sick on tne i3th and died on the 17th inst. He was treated by his physicians for remittent fever and a death certificate given accordingly. I did not see the patient; the physician reported ‘his death to me, and the fact that his confidence in the correctness of his diagnosis had been disturbed at the last by the appear- ance of the vomited matter, especially its black color. thought better to act on the mere suspicion of a deat from yellow fever in a crowded tenement house am neighborhood. I have been informed by physicians who have practised many years in this ldcality that it has always been unhealthy, and that those who sicken there. Are apt todie. Accordingly I caused the prompt removal of the body. clothing, and the tumigation and disinfection of the premises. ‘Sanitary Inspector Colton, who has had long experience as a public health officer and has watched all developments in these cases and made care- ful inquiry into their origin, does not find sutfi- cient ground for the opinion that yellow fever has occurred in Brooklyn. Op the morning of the 2st Nos. 3 and 4 of these cases were reported to me, and, with Dr. Colton, T 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 I expect- ed her death, which occurred in the afternoon. 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 it was not yellow fever. Dr. A. M. Bell, of this city, late Commissioner of Quarantine, and familiar with ye1iow fever from experience in the United States Navy, does Not find in many Visits to these cases and examinations before and after death any appearance resembling yellow fever. B. A. SEGOR, Sanitary Superintendent, Dr. CONKLING Offered the following :— Whereas the statement that several cases of fellow fever 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 fumalliarity with the disease renders their opinions of great value, ft 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. ‘ SEVERE STORM IN CHICAGO, CuIcaGo, 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 wunroofing 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. To-day was the hottest of the season, tne thermometer being 90 above in the shad . SAN FRANCISCO. Large Fire—Information for the Heathen Chince.

In Tennessee. Memruis, June 22, 1873, _ ‘This was the hottest day of the season, the ther- mometer being at 94, but the day was bright and clear. There has been a marked decrease in the deaths from cholera, The whole number of inter- ments were nineteen, of which nine were cholera cases. It is the general belief that the disease has run its course here, and will probably disappear. Reports from the surrounding country along the lines Of railreads are still very gloomy. NASHVILLE, June 22, 1873, The mortality to-day from cholera was filty-two, against filty-nine yesterday. The weather has been clear and apparently healthy all day, In Louisville. LOUISVILLE, June 22, 1873, The reports of cholera in this city are entirely groundless, Although there is anxiety there is no apprehension of cholera, the city up to this time having been absolutely exempt from the disease, The Board of Health announce that the health of the city is better than during June for several years, and its sanitary condition is better than ever betore known. In Cincinnati, CINCINNATI, June 22, 1873, ‘Three deaths were reported trom cholera to the Health Officer to-day. The mortality from this disease to the present time has been almost ex- clusively among very young and very old persons, ‘ In Washington. WASHINGTON, June 22, 1873. The first case of supposed Asiatic cholera—that of a colored woman—terminated fatally yesterday, It is satd that six similar cases were reported last night by the Board of Health, and that they are in the most filthy localities. CHOLERA PREVENTIVES. Cireular 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 acircular 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 documeat:— SANITARY CLEANSING, The local conditions that cheny promote the out- breaks and propagation oi cholera are:— 1, Neglected privies. 2 Filth-sodden grounds. 3. Foul cellars aud filthy or badly-drained surroundings of dwellings, 4. Foul and obstructed honse 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 o! excessive moisture remain these shouid 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 coal 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 ail inhabited premises, will afford almost complete prowmcnan if suitable care is taken of personal health, The security of personal health requires pure drinking water, iresh and substantial food, tem- ed and the needed rest aud bathing of the ody. DISINFECTION AND DISINFECTANTS. The principles relating to disinfection as a means of destroying the propagating or infectious cause of cholera and arresung putreiaction ure readily understood, and may be so explained to any family that the housenold may insure its own immunity against the mtroduction anf spread ef the disease. For popular use we append a brief statement of these principles at the end of this circular, and we respectiuliy recommend that the statement and the Jollowia Schedule of rules and methods be given to he press and to all-pripcipals of schools, superintendents o1 places of public resort, railroad 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 cholera may be prevenied. But let the tact be remembered that there can be no sub- stitutes ior thorough cleansing and tresh air. RULES AND METHOD; OF DISINFECTION. 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 briskiy stirred, makes the cheapest and best disinfecting Muid for common use. It can be pro- cured in every town and by any fainily, and if the carbolic acid is not at hand the solution of copperas: May 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, Yo disiniect masses of filth, privy vauits, sewers and drains, gradoally pour in this solution until it reaches and Cisinfects all 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 away, use the solution o! copperas and carbolic acid, and for disinfecting extensive masses or surfaces of putrescent mate- rials, and for drains, sewers and ditches, this disin- fecting fuid may be used, or the “deaa oil” (“heavy ou”) of coal-tar or coa!-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’ zinc, 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- rets, ‘fo disinfect the clothing or bedding defiled in any manner by excremental matters from the sick, throw them into a solution 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 carbolic acid—such articles to remain therein at least half an hour; then imme- diately place them in boiling water, and continue bowling. If the acid is not at hand, then use the solution of zinc in water. The same disinfecting solutioe is excelleat for bedpans and chamber- 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 is near, 2. That general cleansing, scavenging and dis- infection stiould be attended to in every city and town before cholera makes its appearance; aud that wherever it does appear, that house and the exposed premises suould be kept constantly dis- infected, 3. That, whatever differences of opinion there may be pin ob gg | the epidemic phenomena of diferent 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 diarrhawa 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 Pas 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; wnd that if they be cast away without pre- vious disinfection, they impart their own infective quality to the excremental matters with which they mingle in filth-sodden earth, or in de- positories and conduits of filth, and to the emMuvia 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 smallest 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 ¢holeraic dis- charges attaches to whatever bedding, ciothing 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 trnsted 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.

Montana War Clai; rious Charge Against oa Clerk. Much excitement has been caused by the recent action of J. W. Butterfleld, clerk in the Second Comptroller's office, in connection with 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 furmshed to the volunteer forces operating against the Indians in 1867 by itizens of that territory. Originally they amounted ‘0 $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 oj settlement since the adjournment of Congress, and over three hundred thousand dol- lars have already been paid, The particulrr cause of complaint against Butterfield hag 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 The Alexander Cummings, Adjutant Genera! of Mon- | tana, $25,000 in vouchers, in consideration of Services rendered tn 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 entered 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 accordingty 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. The 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 Lad given toa certain party in Washington vouchers to the amount of $15,009 for influence with the Indian Bureau tn fur- therance of Indian contracts several years ago. These vouchers were transferred toa gen- tleman in liquidation of a claim which he held agQinst 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 Har- die. The amount of money paid on both transac- tions is $22,000, No censure is cast on Mr. Curtis, though 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 suggesiton as to judicial determination in 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 Secretary 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 is 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- plied. 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 $8,000,000 each month. Three or four | millions of double eagles will be recoined during this month at the Philadelphia Mint, They wull 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 Kng- land 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 repiies 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 tne limit of abrasion and values in money and of account. The Government Suit Against the Unton 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 Explosions. 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; 6B. Crawiord, of Pittsburg, and E. Hoimes, of Ohio. GERMAN OBPHAN ASYLUM.

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 Ime of march for the chapel, and entering the middle aisle occupied their accus- tomed seats, while the galleries and north and south aisies 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. iter 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 fitth chapter and fifth verse— “Who is ne that overcometh the world but he that believeth that Jesus ts the Son of Goa ¢"" THE SERMON, John knew Jesus intimately while on earth, He had witnessed the power of faith in Him over others, and, whatever men think of this faith, none can deny its power. Men tell us now that the spiritual “Christ 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- ful men inall ages. To do thisis to understand the laws of the universe, Man must also overcome Self, and this is the hardest task, If John had known Epictetus and Platarch he would have said that all they taught was good as jar as it went, The diMculty 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 difficult asever. Science, arta and letters to the contrary, life is still a connict in every individual man. The strong man falis in the high noon of his strength and honor, Culture enlarges our sensibilities, Our enlarged sensibilities enlarge our capacities for sin, Stienee must_he reminded that its know. ledge is limited by infimitude, The substitutes for’ our old faith are insufficient. — Civil- ization, education, elevation of tastes by letters and arts, are eficient, if they are so at all, as they teach and train. If education is to train and in- spire, it must bring some personal force to attract by example, to captivate by law. Without living Lt science and culture can accomplish very tile, WE ARE MOVED BY IDEAS, but most of all we want men, otherwise Ideals be- come idols, a tigment of the imagination, Mauhew Arnold and followers believe in the study of man- hood, in the idealization of virtue, This they sub- stitute fora belief im 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. If 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 new to him who makes It so, We have heard it a thousand times, but when a man learns bis need by some experience of his life, tt 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 faim in God unless they outgrow the probiems of Le. The factitious differences in the way of faith Pp riise to be removed by the growth of culture, While there never was a time in which it was so easy to deny Christ, it is yet true that never was faith in the Son of God so simple as now. He came to teach us to overcome the world. This conquest gained, sal! else 18 gained, FAREWELL OF THE PRESIDENT. At this point the senior class arose in their places and rec 1 the larewell of the President. Ne referred to their peculiarly sunshiny and bright career in college. Deavh was comparatively a atranger to them, having but twice visited their circle, once in the early and once in the latter part of their course, Yet they knew what sorrow and trouble w 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 Christ 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 President came out of his pulpit, and, walking out through the centre aisle of the chapel for the last time, he received as he passed the grateful homage of the class of 1873.

For many days the heat has been intense, the ;mercury in the ther lomcter ranging among the nineties, For three or four 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 asred as a fox. And the mountain fires have commenced, In the high lands on the Hudson, om St. Anthony's Nose, across to Fort Mongomery and in the vicinity of Crow's Nest hundreds of trees have been destroyed by the flames. Friday night fire caught in the underbrush on the Fishkill Mountains, five miles from Silver Lake, and im less than three hours it had ron nearly five miles, destroying one thousand cor wood belonging to Mr. George H. 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 in smoke. Gang» of men were hurried to the spot, and they fought the flre with dirt and fallows, but it is burn ing yet, and up the Hudson a smoky atmosphere preveds day and night, and the smell of fire from arnt fren and underbrush is everywhere, ‘The Catskili Mountains are almost entirely shut from view, as also ia the Ulster range of the Shu- 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 very dificult.
