As his arrival was unannounced at Win- chester, Strasburg, Woodstock, Kdinpurg and Mount Jackson, but few people were at the depots to see him.

Upon the arrival of the train there was a tremen- dous crowd present to see him, with a band of music, headed by Mayor Trout and a delegation of pecopinent citizens, to tender to the Pr nt the ‘eedom of the city and an invitation to stop for some days. The President, while gratefal to them for their courtesy and kindness, said that he could not stop at this time, his arrangements havin already been perfected to proceed westward. Toe President recetved the delegation on the rear platform of the car and came out and raised his hat to the vast assemblage.

As the train moved off he was greeted with cheers, ARRIVAL AT THE SPRINGS, A. H. Perry, Ohief Superintendent of the Chesa- peake and Ohio Railroad, brought the Presidential party here from Staunton on a special train in three hours, ahead of the regular mail and pas- senger trains.

WILLiamarosr, Pa., June 26, 1874. ‘The beautiful village of Williamsport is situated amid one ofthe largest lumber producing districts in the United States, and itis under ita generous hospitality that tae lumbermen from every centre Of the trade have assembled just now in 4 national Convention. The initiatory steps toward affecting an organization ave already been re Ported in the HERAUD, and it is indeed @ Matter of grave surprise that while the iron, steel, coal, shipping, navigation and financial interests of our hemisphere have held for along time past their annual conclave, the lumbermen are now holding theirs for the first time in their history to- The Jumber trade of this country has hitherto been conducted through individual efforts, and not through the rules and regulations of a harmonious and well organized society, Owing to this want of combination and intercourse an actual estimate of the trade has been diMicult to secure, nor could any reliable comparison be drawn be- tween the same interests in diferent sections of our own country even at the expense of prolonged and ynoMcial correspondence, and the sacrifice of @ great dealof time, In addition to this the CLASSIFICATION OF MATERIAL hag been very diversified, no regular sys- tem having been introduced to designate Gifferent grades of timber, so that every lumber merohant has hi peculiar terms of hia own to designate his grades, which, while they may have been understood by hts cus- tomers, were not comprehended by the trade in first in a chaotic They simply have in the proper way must involve for 4 year or two stilla great deal of labor. The very tew reports rendered are vague and impertect. In- deed none of them seem to ye eens the industry as tneyshould do. One of the moat surprising, and at the same time most perfect, is that whic! RELATES TO PINE TIMBER standing in different States, uncut, the extent of which is as tollows:— Another interesting report is rendered by the delegate from Savannah, Ga., of the feet of timber turned out from Southern mills within the past Year, as follow Savannah. Darien . Pensacola Other points. Aside from these no other reports have been Tendered. Indeed, since no previous convention has ever been heid, reports were not in order. An organization simply is desired, to the officers of which hereaiter statistics of the entire lumber tramic of the country will be regularly and syate- matically renderea, It is clearly evident that the trade not only in ifferent sections of the country, but in local dis- tricts has been upharmonious and antagonistic, and with the view ofreotifying this and of uniting all local societies in a single comprehensive soctety, Mr. Blanchard recently published the fol- lowing resolutions, the spirit of which, it will be seen, is the of the code for the government of lumbermen in general :— sence of organization, harmony and racterized the lumber trade on the Susquehanna and in the State of Pennsylvania; and Whereas the object we had in view when the West Branch Lumbermen’s Exchange was organized was to bring the lumbermen of Pennsylvania toa more pertect knowledge and 4 clearer apprehension of the great benefits resulting from united and harmonious action and by concentrated effort to regulate our ousiness in conformity with our best interests; therefore, Resolved, That tbe manner in which the tramic in and manufacture of lumber has been conducted for the past few years, has been detrimental to the interests of the general trade and the manutacturers, solved That the system of reckless cutting, which has characterized the lumbering operations, isa great and growing evil, and demands the serlous'c tion of every association of lumbermen. Resolved. ‘That the present prevailing practice of lum- bermen, when preparing tor winter stocking, to seek to blind each other with reference tothe proposed extent of thelr operations, tnstead of acting in harmony with each other and in consonance with the requirements of the market and the laws of supply and demand, hzs en- tailed great loss upon the trade, has sacrificed valuable roperty, and given to the middle men our profits and ihe control of our business. Resolved, That the members of this Exchange, be- lieving it is’ within their province to regulate and control all matters relating to the welfare of the trade, request re} lan which shall regulate the gs stocked each year on the Susquehanna and its tributaries, and submit the same to the approval of the Exchang Resolved, T we see every matcrial interest com- dining and organizing for mutual protection and ad- vancement as well as increase of influence and power, 40 we feel impelled by an imperative necessity to unite and organ: rough this Exchange, and we urge the Board of Directors tor the ensuing year to adopt such measures as in their judgment will promote uniformity in prices of luinber, protection sane the arbitzary in- crease of treights for transportation of lumber, and dis- eriminating jainst the products of our own State; mu- tual co-operation and assistance when the interests of the trade demand it and whatever will tend: to: induce equitable and tair dealing and united action, The Third Day' jession of the Con- vention — Constitution and Bylaws Adopted—fhe Preservation of American Forests. lera- WILLIAMSPORT, June 25, 1874, The Lumbermen’s Convention met at ten o’clock A.M, to-day and adopted a constitution and by- laws, Resolutions were passed respecting the preservation of American forests, and.a commit- tee was appointed to furnish statistioa: reports concerning the amount of white and yellow pine and all other valuable timber in the United States, and the Canadas, and to investigate the different forms of stocking timber with the view o1 regu- lating the supply.

Dowling, and His Wite—The Condition of the Building. SYRacusx, July 24, 1874 To THe EpiToR OF THE HERALD:— Ihave just received the HexaLp and other New York papers with the telegraphic despatoh to the Assoctated Press relative to the fearful accident at the charch of which my dear son, the Rev..George T. Dowling (a native of New York city, by the way), is the successfal and beloved pastor, and I beg leave to correct the statement in that despatch in the following words:—“Rev. George T. Dowling, pastor of the church, is dangerously injured; also his wife, who is not expected to live.’ This isone of the mistakes, almost unavoidable, perhaps, in hastily prepared despatches under such circum- stances. 1 arrived trom New York myself in Syracuse tess than an hour before the accident on ® professional engagement to preach at @ dedication a few miles distant. My son Met me at the depot. We looked in together upon the festival on my way to his home. I was urged to remain, but on account of weariness from the journey declined, and left after about five minutes, Tn fifteen minutes from‘the time I teft the ruin. ‘was accomplish ed, and my dear son and his wife Went gown with the broken floor, with about 3800 others, But, thanks to God, almost miraculously as It seems to me, they escaped with any bodily injury. They were separated in the crash; my son fell through the opening down to the floor beneath, and was taken out, as were many others, Siren tte window. My daughter clung to: the remains of the floor above, which was held up by the beam, one end forming a kind of inciined plane, up which, with some help from others in | the same danger, she was enabled to climb | slowly by clin, 4 to the carpet, which was still on. that art of the floor, ana though blinded and almost suffocated by the plaster she eventually reached the door and was taken out. To-day, thank God, they are both nearly as well as ever, and my dear son has even been visiting some of the bereaved and afflicted of his flock and striving ‘‘to comfort others with | bo eet wherewith he himself is comforted of I will only ada that the main church building is wholly uninjured. It is strong, substantial and for months past has been regularly crowded every Sunday. Service will be held as usual next Sun- | day. [ shall not permit him to preach (he has always been a good boy and. obedient to his father) ; but he will, ifas well as he 1s to-day, make is appearance in the pulpit and probably say @ Laus Deo soli. JOHN DOWLIN whe 10K OF A TRAIN. Supposed” ‘Attempt at Robbery—One Person Killed—Reward Offered for the Pergetrators. Lowpon, Ont., June 25, 1874. An accident occurred last night to night express train No. 10, from Windsor, at a place known as | Sefton’s gut, a few miles west of London, which providensially involved the loss of but one life and Injuries to about twenty persons. The train, whica is known as the New York Fast Express, had entered the cut and was coming down the grade at a high rate of speed, when the engine, | two baggage cars and two. passenger coaches. were.thrown from the track, ‘The engine went to the nt, the first baggage car to Che leit, the tecond oar wo the right, the first and second pas- Senger cars iollowiag, in the.same manner, form- ing, something Uke the letter ‘-w.’’ all the cara belong jammed and smashed in a terrific way. Fhe fireman, James Urmsby, was caught between the engine and tender and crushed to death almost instantaneously. One of the brakemen was severely injured internally by being squeezed between the cars. The passenger conductor, engineer, baggage master and express messenger miraculously es- caped from serious injury. Upon examination it was discovered that a rail bad been removed from the track by some fend in human shape. Itis oy sed to bave been an organized attempt at ery, the same asiately took place On the Michigan Central road. The bolts and nuts with which the fishplates Were fastened were found to have been all care- fully tagen of and placed on the ties, and the rails displaced @ few inches.

We cannot approve of such fragmen— tary works ag either the present one, or even ‘Egmont’ or “Manfred,” in which, sfter* every jew bars of music, the reader breaks in with half a dozen stanzas of the poem, producing an effect anything but satisfac- tory in a concert hall, The public are apt to tire of such # distribution of music and dramatic reade ing, 4nd are inclined to wish that the music coald be given in its entirety at once and the dramatic reading in the same manner. Miss Kate Field read Bulwer’s weil known trans lation of Schiller’s poem under such serious disadvantages that criticism under the circum- stances would be uniair owing to the murmar of voices in the Garden and the want of acoustie qualities in a place where every window and door 1s ope and the voice of a reader must necessaril} be fost to nine-tenths of those present. part of the programme consisted of the ever wel- come and ever fresh overture to “William Tell,’ Gounod’s new meaitation for violins and orchestra, an idyl of beauty and the Polonaise from ‘‘Mig- non.” The orchestra was The violins were and expression. have studied W. simply perfect. Rar tionlaty, rich in tone, color ty-the-by, Mr. Stoer seems t@ ner to advantage, for at times we could hardly find a trace of originality in the tone pictures. Perhaps two Cains men can con- ceive the same thought, and both be original Sceptics, however, will not credit it.
