Spickler, furnished a half barrel of cakes for the poor, which were given out.
The General Episcopal Convention is still in session in New York. The proceedings thus far are without special interest. The House of Bishops on Thursday confirmed the election of the Rev. Dr. E.R. Wells, as Bishop of Wisconsin. The question of the confirmation of Dr. Seymour, of New York, recently elected Bishop of Illinois, was under consideration on Thursday and yesterday. He is opposed for ritualistic and Romish tendencies. The result was still in doubt.
On Saturday morning a meeting of the Board of Directors of the Sixth Street Passenger Railway Company, was held for the purpose of receiving the resignation of the President, George R. Frill, Esq., which having been duly accepted, Hon. George D. Stitzel was unanimously elected President. This is an admirable selection. Indeed no better one could have been made. Under Judge Stitzel's administration the Sixth street line is sure to be a grand success.
The constant activity displayed in the building of this road has surprised even its most sanguine friends. Although the panic has severely retarded its progress it has nevertheless kept employed a force of 300 workmen along the line between Harrisburg and Hamburg. The survey east of Hamburg to the Delaware is finished, and the engineers are now running a line east of that river. The grading at various points along the line is completed and the whistle of the locomotive will be heard in this valley before very many years.
The health of the city has been remarkably good during the past three weeks, the number of deaths for each week being exactly alike, viz: eleven. The causes of this mortality remain unchanged, no important case being reported. Diarrheal diseases are diminishing, there being but one on the mortuary record for the week. For the same week last year there were seventeen deaths, showing that our death rate is lower now than the previous year. Our city's health has never made a better exhibit than at this season of the year.
Last Monday, immediately after Colonel Arthur, the City Treasurer, entered his office and before the Mayor had signed the Loan and Tax Ordinances, there were applications for $14,800 of the new bonds of the city to be created under the new Loan Ordinance. Col. Arthur thinks there will be no difficulty in putting the whole loan on the market in a short time. We have it from the most trustworthy source that the money is ready now to take at least $70,000 of the bonds. So much for the credit of the city, and there need be no fear that all its obligations will not be met.
The manner of filling vacancies in the Board of Election officers on the day of election, under the act of 1839, is as follows: If the minority inspector shall not attend on election day, the defeated minority candidate for judge acts as the minority inspector.

If any vacancy is not filled within an hour after the opening of the polls, the voters of the division elect a person to fill the vacancy.

In old times it was customary to give distinguished guests the "freedom of the city in a gold snuff box," but we have never seen it distinctly stated what that meant. Reading is more liberal -- it gives the "freedom of the city" to anybody to go up in a balloon in our public squares. In order not to seem invidious, we suggest that the freedom of the streets be given to all circuses, monkey shows, horse races, prize fighters, not excepting games of chance, such as French Pool, sweat-cloth, and the like. This would be equal and exact justice to all, besides affording idlers and street 'gamins' an endless fund of amusement.
At the hearing before Judge Cadwalader, in the U.S. District Court, Phila., last Wednesday in the matter of the petition of certain creditors making an adjudication of Bankruptcy against the Berks County Railroad Company, Messrs. Cyrus G. Derr and James Ryon, Esqs., appeared for the creditors and asked leave to file an amended petition and sundry affidavits. Leave was granted and the time for answering was enlarged to Wednesday the 21st inst. In the meantime depositions will be taken. This prevents the proposed sale of the road to-day (Saturday the 17th).
The Berks County Railroad Company was represented by Hon. Wayne MacVeagh, of Harrisburg, and Messrs. S.L. Young and F.R. Schell, Esqs., of Reading.
The grand excursion from Hamburg to Harrisburg on last Saturday, was composed of the Emanuel M.E. Sunday School of Hamburg; St. John's Sunday School, Port Clinton; Miller's Church Sunday School, of Upper Bern township; and of citizens from Hamburg, Shoemakersville, Shartlesville and Port Clinton, and was accompanied by the Hamburg Cornet Band. The excursionists numbered about 800, a great many more who would have gone being prevented by the threatening aspect of the weather. They arrived in Harrisburg at one o'clock in the afternoon, and headed by the band proceeded in line to the executive department, over the auditor general's office, where the musicians struck up the air. "Hail to the Chief." Henry Houck, Esq., deputy state superintendent of common schools introduced the party to Governor Hartranft. His Excellency, the Governor, bid them welcome in a brief address, after which the band played another popular air. A general hand-shaking between the Governor and the visitors took place.
They left Harrisburg at 3 p.m. and arrived home safely in the evening, the utmost good feeling having prevailed during their trip, all being extremely pleased with the hospitable reception extended them.
Mr. John N. Shearer attempted to ascend in a balloon last Saturday, from Penn Square, and made a narrow escape from a horrible death. A young man named Bennethum, who had accompanied him before, was seated on the concentrating hoop or ring immediately under the balloon, while Shearer stood on the trapeze bar below. At about 2 p.m. the word was given to "let go," but the balloon had arisen not more than thirty feet, when Mr. Shearer found it necessary to discharge some ballast, and called to his assistant to cut a bag and throw out some. He did it as quickly as he could, but by this time the balloon had got above the portico of the Keystone House, and Mr. Shearer found it was too late to do any good. He found that he could not escape the telegraphic wire, which is the dread of all aeronauts, and which would have cut both Mr. S. and his assistant, or dashed them against the top of Jameson's building on the opposite corner. To save the life of himself and his assistant, Mr. Shearer, jumped a distance of at least twenty feet, and fortunately landed safely on the Keystone House portico. The telegraphic ware was torn, and the balloon, with young Bennethum in the hoop, shot up rapidly but gracefully to a great height, and sailed off in a northeasterly direction. The young aeronaut took matters coolly and bowed his adieu to the immense crowd below.
Mr. Shearer immediately proceeded to his room in the Keystone House and donned another suit of clothing -- (one of his suits went off with the balloon) -- ordered a carriage, and left by the Perkiomen turnpike, the direction which the balloon had taken. He drove to Pleasantville, in Oley township, twelve miles east of this city where he found that his protégé had safely landed, and packed up the balloon ready for shipment back to Reading. Young Bennethum landed without the least damage to himself or the balloon, and received much assistance from the people of Pleasantville and vicinity. The party immediately started on their return home, and reached Reading at 8 o'clock, on Saturday evening, and were warmly congratulated on their arrival at the Keystone House by many friends.
Another ascent was made by Mr. Shearer at o'clock on Monday afternoon, also from Penn Square. This time he met with no accident. The balloon sailed off gracefully and landed in Chester county, opposite Pottstown. Mr. S. returned to Reading by the 6 p.m. train.

All the Lutheran congregations in Reading, will unite in celebrating the anniversary of the Reformation by a grand festival, in St. James Church, on the 31st instant. Short addresses will be delivered by Rev. Dr. J. Fry, of Trinity Church, and Rev. J.J. Kuendig, of St. John's Church, the former in English and the latter in German. The festival will, however, partake more of a musical character, particular care and attention being given to the preparation and execution of appropriate pieces. A Reformation Symphony has been especially composed for the occasion, by Mr. John Endlich. One of the prominent features of the programme will be the rendition of "Ein Feste berg ist unser Gott." Some of the best musical talent in the city has been engaged and organized into a festival choir. The solos and choruses will be given with the organ accompaniment, under the direction of Prof. H.F. Eberhardt, the accomplished organist of St. James Church.
Mr. George Sassaman, butcher, of Boyertown, met with a narrow escape from death while in Boyertown the other day. He had driven to that place for the purpose of disposing of some beef, and while attending to a customer, his horses frightened at a blast from the sinking of a well, and started off at full speed. In trying to catch one team he was thrown with great violence against a curbstone, and his lower chin was torn entirely loose, and his face and head were badly hurt. The horses ran against a sign post in front of the Union Hotel, which stopped them. A little son of Mr. Sassaman's was on the wagon all the time, but fortunately escaped without injury. Mr. Sassaman's injuries were attended to by Dr. T.J.B. Rhoads.

Thieves are still on the rampage at Womelsdorf. Last week the cigar manufactory of Spang & Erisman was entered and six hundred cigars stolen. The cigars were not stamped, and therefore the parties might be detected when they offer cigars not having the United States Revenue stamp on them. The Lagerbeer saloon of John A. Matthew was also entered through a back window, but the parties were disturbed before much booty was taken possession of. The cellar of Isaac Eckert was also entered. To effect an entrance the thieves dug out part of the wall leading down the stairway, which made a noise and awakened the inmates when they left in haste. Mrs. John Seltzer, living about a mile below town, was also visited by a party. They having made a noise, a daughter of Mrs. Seltzer, who possesses more courage than most of our men do now-a-days, went into the cellar where the thieves were operating, and pointing a revolver into their faces, demanded an unconditional surrender of all things taken in their possession, when they submitted to the terms and left in a hurry. No doubt the party were the same that stole the cigars above mentioned, as they left a lot of cigars at the last named place.
On the 10th inst (Sunday), crowds of people went to the Topton furnace, curiosity brought the writer down too after Sunday School.
At about 4:15 p.m. everything being in readiness, Miss Emma R. Pott, daughter of Benjamin Pott, formerly of Pottsville, was lifted by her father, in the presence of a large crowd of spectators, into the lower part of the furnace stack. One of the workingmen then gave her a lighted lamp, and there and then "Miss Emma" ignited the combustibles which were in the stack, and in a few moments the smoke issued from the top of the stack on the Topton furnace. The blast was put on in the morning. Everything works like a charm thus far.

When the noon is lapped in vapor,
And the night is frosty cold."

The Schuylkill Canal Company have just commenced locking up their loaded canal boats, to prevent the coal shipped over their canal, from being stolen. The hatchways are put on and secured by an iron bar running lengthwise of the boat, the end of which is sealed with a metallic tag, similar to those used by the Reading Railroad Company on their cars, with the name of station from where the coal was shipped stamped upon it. This rule was rendered necessary on account of so much coal mysteriously disappearing from the boats.

Mr. John Sheetz, drover from Englesville, this county, made a narrow escape from drowning on Thursday last, while driving from his home to Kutztown. In crossing a stream over which was sprung an arch, he noticed the water flowing over the road. Supposing that this was caused by high water, he attempted to pass over, unconscious of danger. He soon found his mistake. The culvert had been washed out and Mr. Sheetz's horse and carriage tumbled into the turbulent stream, and but for the assistance that was soon on the spot, he and his horse would undoubtedly have been drowned.

Over one hundred thousand dollars in counterfeit bills were found at their headquarters and the bills, it is said, were so well executed as to deceive good judges. Ballard is said to be the most expert engraver and most clever counterfeiter in the United States. He is a coachmaker by trade, and stated to a reporter who interviewed him that he formerly worked at this business in Reading, Pa. He claims to possess a secret that would render the counterfeiting of bank bills impossible, and offers to communicate it to the Treasury Department if he is let off.
