' Our community was saddened on Wednesday
morning last by the announcment of the and-

the evening previous after an'illness of only

less owner had thoughtlessly hitched to the

It appears to have been more serious than we

companied by her old preceptor, Da. CLARE
W. Brushes, and Signor Morino, a baritone of
most exquisitely fine vocal powers. But Miss
B. was the soul of the Concert, It is now
many years since we christened her the “ Jen-
ny Lind of America,” and it does seem to us
that in many respects she surpasses the noble
hearted Swede in sweetness of tone and that
peculiar electrical current of feeling which
enchains an audience. The two or three sim-
ple Scotch ballads sung by her, were worth
fourfold the price of admission. Her patri-
otic songs “God save the Queen,” and “Star
Spangled Banner,” are an addition to the
usual programme, and great attractions of
themselves. We trust she may find it conve-
nient to pay us another visit soon, under mOIe
favorable auspices of weather.

For the Gazette.
Mussns EDITORS z—Allow me to notice
in the Gazette a. most interesting and
pleasing musical performance given at
South Norwalk on Tuesday evening last.
The Oratorio of Esther, by Prof. Brad-
bury, was the subject ; and G. W. Mer-
riam, Esq., who has done so much for the
interests of sacred music in this village,
was the conductor, and Prof. T. J. Cook
presided at the piano. This musical
drama was given in a style that would do
credit to any choir in the land. The
airs, rccitatives, duets, trios, choruses, &c.,
were well sustained, and many of them
rendered in a manner exqusitely beauti-
ful. The variety, harmony and spleuder
of the composition is truly wonderful, and
the moral effectmost salutary. It throws
a fresh charm over that piece of sacred
history and serves to open in a forcible
manner some of its obscure pages. The
audience was large and greatly pleased
with the delightful entertainment. The
only regret we heard expressed was, that
the eighty pages of music were not an
hundred. We are pleased to learn that
the performance is to be repeated at an
early day. A.

S'rluxen COMPARISONS—One of our ex-
changes, seems to be slightly excited, and piles
on the highfalutin in this wise :
A grain of carmine will tinge a gallon of
water, so that in every drop the color will be
perceptible ; and a grain of musk will scent a
room twenty pears. Just so if a man cheat
the printer—the stain will be forever visible
on the minute atoms of his minute soul, and
will leave a scent of rascality about an indi-
vidual, strong enough to make an honest man
turn up his nose in disgust, and kick him out
of his presence, if he can’t get rid of him any
other way.”

applied to Capt. Judkins of the Persia, on Sun-
day, for a sacred service, and were referred to
this rule of the company, which left him no

ON THE WING.
No. 3.
When we closed ourlast cpisllc, wcbad not
quite finished the picture presented by the re-
turning fiSbermcii. As one after another of
our party crawled from the boat on shore the
“ natives” crowded around with curious and
quizical expressions of face, as much as to
say,“ those fellowsllave got codfisliing enough
for the season.” Determining however to
make the best show of matters possible, we
ordered Capt. Sammy to throw four of the
largest fish upon the beach and distribute the
remainder among the sympathising natives
who so anxiously hovered around us. So seiz-
ing an enormous Cod by the gills we drags!ed
their carcasses, as well as we could (for not
one of us had strength to lift one clear of the
ground) up to the Hotel, where upon present-
ing ourselves before the entire numerical
strength of the household we were saluted
With a general filter, and then uprorious guf-
fau.’ It is easy now, to see what a comical
figure we presented, yet at the time, we felt
although it might be fun for them it had been
almost death to us, and that it was not alto.
gethel‘ generous on the part of our fellow
guests to thus make merry over our narrow
escape from the jaws of the grim monster.—
We would cast proud glances at our tro phies.
and then look up imploringly to our torment-
ors, as much as to says let those laugh who
win.
It seems our party had been watched through
the glass from the portico of the Hotel.
almost from the time we had started and except
when some rolling wave behind us cut ofi‘ the
view our manuvers were all visible to our
scrutinizing friends. On our return,however,
being so comfortably laid out upon those “side
boards” in the bottom of the boat our disap-
pearanct occasioned no litt‘e soliciiud e, which
was only entirely relieved, when we were seen
hobbling over the boats side at the landing.—
We shonldstate however for the encoragement
of others ambitions of a. similar expedition
that our experiences, were not of the general
order. We were specially unfortunatelin the
selection ofour day. The wind was too strong
and as a matter of course in a wrong direction.
The tide was setting strongly against the
wind, making what the old “ salts” call a.
“ chopping sea,” which not only takes breath
and stren glh out of a green landsman,but al-
most every desire to perserve life. It does
not seem possible, yet it is verily _a truth
that a. hall hour’s sevre seasickness, will so
effectually wean a poor mortal from things
terrestial that should he pitch overboard, he
would make no effort to save himself, if the
uninitiated have a doubt of the fact let them
come down to Block Island and try the ex-
periment. .
The day following our excursion, several
other parties went out, and the wind having
changed its course during the night, they
had a most delightful time of it. One guest
from western New York brought home a cod
weighing lhirtypounds—and about the size
of afull grown Newfoundland dog. Under
favorable circumstances it is a trip very much
to be enjoyed and participated in with as
much zest by the ladies, as by the lords of
creation.
The dinner hour had passed when we ar-
rived, luckily enough for us—as nothing oc-
casioned greater loathing than a thought of
eating. The entire party then proceeded to
wash off the saline secretions in Capt. Card’s
chalybeate waters and then crept stealthily
to our beds, where “ drawing the drapery of
our couch about us, we lay down to pleasant
dreams.” The bed pitched and dived under
our head and gave that same indescribable
side lurchof qlie boat, for several min-
utes,almost impressing us with the belief
that the whole island had “ got loose”
somehow. and was tipping and tossing on the
ocean just as we had been all day. Yet so
exhausted in strength had we become, that
sleep—blessed sleep—soon came to our relief
and afiel- three hours spent in the embrace of
old Morpheus, we could with Sancho Panza,
most earnestly invoke “ blessings on the
man who invented sleep.” We arose about six
o’clock P. M., took another ablution' in the
iron waters, with which our hotel is supplied
and went to tea. A cup of the old ladies’ in-
vigorator, a beverage, by the way, which we
have very little to do with—certainly left
things in a more settled state beneath our
jacket and throughout the entire ev suing the
Cod Fishermen were as guy as the gayest.
0f Block Island itself, its physical, gco-
graphical and topographical condition and
aspects, we gave a lengthy and detailed ac-
count when here two years since. The island
in its external appearance is almost a perfect
fac simile of“ Swate Ireland.” The ever-
green trees are wanting as also the mud shan-
tles, but the peculiar green of the sod is a
perfect counterpart of the Emerald Isle.—
The cow and the pig stand sentinel in front
of the more tidy farm houses, just as they do
before the sod hovels of Erin.
There are the windmills here also, identi-
cal with those ofthe “ gem of the sea,” and
the inhabitants also are not altogether desti-
tute of the human nature of the sons of Erin.
The Yankee principle predominates here,
however. as these people rife too independent
to beg, and too honest, in the main, to steal.
but when it comes to a “ dicker”—sbades of
Jonathan Slick—if they wouldn’t shave the
hair off a brazen image. You must in no case
trust to their honor, in any financial transac-
tion. 1f you want to hire a boat, or a horse,
or apersonal service, close a bargain with
your man beforehand, and you will have no
trouble, as they will always stick to what
they agree ,but if you promise five dollars for
a boat and two men for all day to go fishing
with you. and you return in an hour, don’t
suppose you are to get any abatement, even
though they shOuld hire out again as soon as
you are ashore—they are too sharp fishermen
for that. Butthey are not all of this sort,
though such we have found to be the leading
chgacteristics of the lower classes among the
pe ple. In the main, they are a kind heart-
ed, cxceedingly hospitable and simple-heart-
ed people. There are many very fine forms
on the island and good land ranges from 50
to 75 dollars per acre. There are three or
four lakes of considerable size, well stocked
with fish and supplying the islanders with ice
for their fishing operations in the Spring and
Summer. There are several stores, a post-
otlice rice, with one Church,of the Baptist de-
nomination, at which a series of .religious
meetings are now being held nightly, and
quite a devotional feeling is pervading the is-
land. Capt.Card of our Hotel, acts in the
double capacity of landlord of a most com-
fortable summer House. and Justice of the
peace for the island. He has an accomplished
daughter who is teacher of one of the village
schools. The island sends two or three mem-
bers to the Lower House of the R. I. Legisla-
ture, and one senator. Mr. N. Ball, the pres-
ent senator, is keeper of the principal village
store, a fine Hotel, proprietor of the only
bowling alley on the island, &c. He is amnn
well informed upon the political issues .of the
day, and although formerly we believe a dem-
ocrat,he and thousands of others who have
heretofore acted with that party, is now a
warm and earnest Republican.
An amusing incident occurcd here yester—
day. Senator Mallory of Florida (who is as
you know, chairman of the committee on Na-
val affairs) together with our eloquent mom-
.her of the House, Hon. Wm. D. Bishop, Ex
slayer. 98.19%!) of Bridgeport and Dean. of
Hartford, Judge Blackman of New Haven,
and sundry others of the democracy, put in
here in a govcnment Revenue Cutter, which
had been placed at their service, at Govern
ment expense, by that talented Secretary of
the navy no doubt, who supposed that the
rope used in the navy was make 0f 007mm-
The Hon. Senator being exceedingly inter-
ested in the political ofuirs of the island, 3P-
plicd to Mr. Ball to know its presentstanding
The State senator replied it had formerly
been democratic and used often to give polit-
ical complectfon to the entire state but latter-
ly there had been a falling off. The fisher-
men nnd farmers on the Islam], somehow
did not like Lecompton .' Besides they had
sent petition after petition to government for
the erection of a breakwater at the mouth of
their harbor. but their prayers had never been
heeded by their political brethorcn and they
didn’t like that! The Hon. Senator replied
(supposing Mr. Ball to be an Administration
Democrat) that he must urge all the electors
on the Island to vote right on the Presidential
ticket in 1860, and he would guarantee that
that they should receive their long wished for
and much needed appropriation. Mr. Ball
replied that such premises as these had been
made them so often only to be broken that
they didn’t have much influence upon the
fiishcrmon, who had a mind of their own, be-
sides they understood pretty well that River
and Harbor improvaments was no part of the
faith of the administration Democracy.—
Whereat the locofoco senator from Florida
began to scent a rat, and bid our Republican
friend good day, and soon with hisjolly crew
of fellow spoilsmcn, set sail for Newport.
As regards Block Island as a place of Sum-
mcr resort, we are unacquainted with any
spot where an individual sullrring under bil-
lions difficulties or whose system requires the
tonic properties of chalybeate waters. and
who has the least taste for the grand and sub-
lime in nature, can spend a weekorforthnight
with so much benefit and mental satisfaction
as at Block Island. A long sandy beach ex-
tending for miles, where the breakers roll in
and brake their white crested waves upon the
shore, afford unequaled facilities for surf-bath-
ing; - The strong saline sea air acts upon the
appetite very much as the picnic excursion to
our own Islands are reported to do. In this
consists the greatest drawl ack to the invalid
yet as the appetite is satisfied with good sub-
stantial and wholesome food, and the meat
diet is composed principally of fish, there is
not that liability to overeating which environs
one at ourfashimlable hotel tables, where Ice
Creams, Nuts and Confectionaries are gulped
down after the system has been? gorged like
an anacondas with buttered meats and indi-
gestiblc side Dishes. Whether sick or well,
Block Island is a spot, where at an average
cost of about one dollar per day, you can en-
joy nll the substantsial comfortsof home. good
sleeping apartments and appointments, good
fare and plenty of it, Horseback riding, Sea
Bathing, fishing &c. and being shut out from
the world, a most perfect physical and mental
relaxation, which after all,is the best medi-
cine the “ o’er worked toiling wight,” can
procure or take. Here too, you are surround-
ed with none of the fashionable restraints and
follies which encompass one on all sides at,Sar-
atoga, Newport and Nahant. Your Ladies, if
you take them,can find plenty of amusements
which pay vastly heavier dividends in health
and comfort, than dressing six times a day as
isihe customwith the heartless,braiuless,snobs,
whose cranies are as innocent of an original
idea as a last years bird’s nest, and who like
moths and butterflies, flaunt and flutter their
periods at all other Fashionable watering
places.
The only serious draw back toBlock Island
is the fact that it is at present farther from
the United States than England or Ireland as
regards communication with the main land.
In the case ofa strong and protracted eastwind
like unto that which has kept us a prisoner
here for three days after we had got ready to
leave, it is sometimes imposible to reach the
main rhore .for days together, although Capt.
Fitch with Sloop Mazeppa. sails to and from
Stonington thrice aweek and Capt.Dodge runs
the mail schooner to Newport the same num-
ber of trips per week, yet with stormy head
winds and no docks or break waters to shelter
them, they cannot rely upon remaining at an-
chor or getting under way. Capt. Fitch in-
formed us that he contemplated putting on a
propeller, another season, which if he does
will remove to a great extent this objection
to the Island. It only icquires the genius
of the some [we Yankee and the Capital of a
Millionaire to render Block Island the popu-
lar summer resort of the country. The num-
ber of its visitors are yearly increasing and
while almost every other watering place is
deserted, an unusual number of guests have
spent their vacationwith Capt.Cardjthe present
Summer.
We have this P. M. closed a special charter
with Capt. Solomon Dodge of the Schooner
Wm. Newton, to transport our party over to
Newport on the marrow, but unless the wind
"hauls”during the night it will require a wiser
than Solomon, to get any sailing craft off to the
eastward of the Island. so adieu till we reach
the shore again. B.

W The Atlantic Telegraph has giv-
en the Yankees an advantage over their
English brethren in one particular at
least. The important intelligence of the
treaty of peace with China, and the
opening of her ports to trade, was pub-
lished in this country at about the same
time it was in Europe. Our manufactu-
rers immediately set about supplying the
market with domestic goods, and an ex-
tensive business has already been done.—
But for the Telegraph, English manufac-
turers would have had a fortnight’s start
of us—now we are even with them, with
the advantage of a shorter route to Olli-
na. The following paragraphs tell the
story. The effects of these sales will
soon be felt upon the manufacturing busi-
ness of the country.
The feature of the week in the Dry
Goods trade has been the important
movement in cotton goods for the mar-
ket of China. The leading shippers have
taken very freely of drills, the price of
Lwhich has, in consequence, a large im-
provement. The sales here and at Bos-
ton have reached nearly 4000 holes at
eye, for the best 40 yard pieces, and sec-
ond and third qualities at 8% and 8-3.—
The tendency of prices is still upward,
some of the principal holders having
raised their pretensions é and kc.

Our manufacturers of domestic goods
are already realizing the beneficial effects
of the recent treat 1 with China. One
house in Boston has received orders for
three thousand packages. This must be
highly encouraging, but there is a. ques-
tion beyond this—Shall Boston. reap the
greatest benefit ? Shall we allow our
manufacture to pass through other bands
and afford business for the shipping of
other ports, or shall we seize upon the
present favorable opportunity, rand re-es-
tablish a trade that was formerly con-
trolled by Boston and Salem capital?

Celebration. in New York.
Wednesday was really a great day in
New York. The streets were crowded
with a dense mass of citizens and stran.
gel-s from an early hour in the morning
until midnight, and probably through the
night. Every body seemed bound to
honor the day and enjoy it likewise. The
decorations of the buildings Were numer-
ous and tasteful. Captain Hudson and
family were at Trinity Church, where the
crowd was so dense as to be almost unen-
durable. From the spire floated the co-
lors of the Niagara. Other flags decora-
ted the interior. An arch of evergreens
bore the inscription, ”Glory to Gsd in
thehigbest—pcace on earth and good
will toward men.” The exercises here
were impressive.
At noon the Battery was filled with
troops, infantry and cavalry, marching
and counter-marching for nearly three
hours. The Sabine frigate poured forth
her heavy broadsides and “ wakcd the
eclioc” for miles around. The procession
after much delay was formed and took up
its line of march through Broadway. The
Times says that such an impenetrable
mass of human beings was never assem-
bled before in the city of New York. In
the square in from; of that office, in the
evening, it is computed there was one
one hundred thousand assembled.
During the march of the procession, the
house-tops swarmed with people, as also
the windows, balconies, and door-ways.
The enthusiasm was very great, the ban-
ners numerous and imposing. The Crys-
tal Palace was thrown open, and about
fiftecll thousand tickets of admission were
issued. The building was splendidly dc-
corated. The military took their position
in the galleries. The tars of the Niagara
with a model of that vessel, drew out rc-
peatcd shouts. After the ceremonies in
the Palace, the Fire Department appeared
in the evening in one of the finest torch-
light processions ever seen ill New. York.
The pyrotecnic display in front of the
City Hall, which was also remarkably
brilliant and appropriate, commenced
about eight o’clock, and was witnessed
by immense crowds. On the whole, it was
probably the most memorable celebration
ever seen in the Metropolis.
The jubilee was completed on Thurs-
day evening by a municipal dinner to Mr.
Field, and the officers of the Niagara and
Gorgon at the Metropolitan Hotel.—
Lord Napier, Mr. Field, Rev. Dr. Bel-
lows, Gov. King and others responded to
toasts, and the affair seemed to have
passed off pleasantly. While the digni-
taries were feasting, the people were cu-
tertained by a second display of fireworks
in the park.

New York Quarantine Building Burned!
Daring Incendiariam.
The New York Times of Thursday
morning says :
_.-~,,We have received full particulars of
the confiagration at i Stapleton. The
large hospital buildings, the wards or
range of low buildings used for the yellow
fever patients, Dr. Tho‘inpson’s private
residence, are all laid iii‘,nslles. About
9 o’clock a large partyi, disguised and
armed, assailed the place 3 on two sides
at the same time, one squad forced the
gate, and the other scaled the wall on
the outside, the alarm was given by ring-
ing the bell, and by other means, but be-
fore any effective resistance c id be of-
fered, they had removed t patients out
of the buildings, carrying them bodily
upon their mnttrasses, and depositing
them upon the ground some one hundred
yards from the wards. The remaining
mattresses were then piled up, and the
torch applied ill the whole row simulta-
neously; being of light materials, they
burned like a pile of shavings. The In-
cendiaries next proceeded to the large
building called the St. Nicholas and set
it on fire, another party at the same time
went to Dr. Thompson’s private residence,
where his family were residing. The in-
mates were hurried out, and iii another
moment the house was on fire from ccl-
lar to roof. The small pox hospital sit—
uated on the hill, iicxt shared the Same
fate. A stevedore who made active ef-
forts to stay the progress of the incendia-
l'ics was shot through the head. At last
accounts the vandals were proceeding to
burn down the Doctor’s offices, and - the
Putnam House, the Inspector’s establisln
ment. The harbor police were sent to
town for assistance, but they arrived at
so late an hour, and were so much ex-
hausted by the long pull, and finding be-
sides that no assistance could l'cncli the
place ill season to save the buildings, de—
termined not to return until daylight.
NEW YORK, Sept. 2. It is ascertained
that the burning of the Quarantine Buil-
dings at Staten Island, was deculed upon
at a meeting held yesterday at Castlcton.
Ray Tompkins and Thomas Burns, hotel
keeper, were active at this meeting. The
Board of Health of Cnstletou also post-
ed a handbill signed by their Chairman
and Secretary, in which the Quarantine
Establishment was denounced as a uni-
sance too intolerable to be borne, and rec-
ommending the citizens to protect them-
selves by abutiug it without delay. The
plan was to burn all the buildings and
placing the sick in a barge to tow them
to the city, and leave them anchor :d oil'
the battery. The number of the sick is
81, several of whom are near death. No
disguise was attempted by the mob.

The Fraudulent Defeat of Blair.
The gross frauds at St. Louis, by which
Frank Blair, J r., was defeated of a rc-elcc-
tion to Congress, are now confessed. The
officers of the election have refused to al-
low the poll-books and ballots to be ex-
amined, or to furnish any official informa-
tion that may lead to an exposure of the
frauds. Two judges of the county court,
Lenham, and Hackney sustain. this outra-
geous covering up of frauds, Judge Wimer
alone demanding an honest exposure of
the facts. Upon this outrage the Mis-
souri Democrat remarks :—
“Wlierever there is a large increase,
there Barret has received a large vote—
which demonstrates that the increase has
been an increase of fraudulent ballots.
The Railroads brought in their distant
hands, the work-house disgorgcd its pau-
pers, and the grave itself gave up its (lead
to constitute that increase ; and all this
would not have accomplished it, if peripa-
tetic gangs of drunken loafers had not
made their circuit of all the precincts, giv-
ing false names and lifting their right
hands to heaven in mockery to God and
man. Their crimes are black enough, but
how much worse is it when the judicial
authorities become accessories after the
fact by holding the aegis of their office
over them. When the temple of justice
itself becomes the sanctuary and fortress
of the lawless and criminal, the founda-
tions of society are indeed threatened."

The Use of Steam on 4th Avenue Below
42d Street.
Mr. Busteed, Corporation Counsel,
received a telegraphic dispatch from
Judge Nelson, at Cooperstown, say-
ing that the application of the New Ha-
ven Railroad Company, for an injunction
against the Corporation and the Police
Commissioners, was denied. The applica-
tion was to restrain the defendants from
enforcing an ordinance prohibiting the
use of steam on the 4th'Avcnue below 42d
street. This decision is in accordance
with one rendered by Judge Hilton in the
Court of Common Pleas, in the case of
the Harlem Railroad Company, who made
a similar application.
The Courts are naturaly and properly
reluctant to interfere with municipal ac-
tion. So much the more is that action to
be deprecated, if it is sectional and op-
pressive in its bearing. We are sticklers
for municipal rights, yet we confess that
the unaccountable course of our Common
Council on various occasions‘ shows the
necessity of a supervisory power, such as
exists in the State Legislature. There
never was a more unreasonable, unneces-
sary, and wanton act, on the part of a
municpaljbody, than that which prohibits
the New Haven and Harlem Railroad
Companies from the use of steam below
42d street. It greatiy damages the Com-
panies and the traveling public, (which
comprises almost the whole public,) for
the sake of a few land-owners. If this
process of obstruction is to continue,
many will return to the old mode of tra-
veling in steam-boats, rather than go half
the way to Albany or New Haven by
horse pouch—Journal of Gamma; cl.

BURIED Ai.lvs.—On Friday, the 23d
ult., while two men by the names of
Bush and Richmond were engaged in dig-
ging a well at considerable depth at Ann
Arbor, Mich, the curbing gave way from
the pressure of the surrounding earth, and
suddenly buried them to the depth of some
twenty feet. So soon as it was known
that they were thus entombed alive, the
excitement in the vicinity became intense,
and from every quarter the people rallied
to the rescue. The first thing to be dune
was to remove the remains of the old curb
and sink a larger one for the protection
of the laborers engaged ill removing the
dirt. This was accomplished at great per-
sonal risk, as the sides of the pit were cu-
til‘cly in secured. It was, however, done,
a larger curb was put in, and the work of
sinking it down to the buried men prosc-
cntcd vigorously. Their silu itiin must be
imagined. One of them had been caught
nearly erect, the other in a sitting posture.
Every sound from above was audible to
them, while no intimation of their exist,
cucc reached the-friends above. Darkness f
made no interruption in the work, but rc-f
1in of men succeeded each other. At ?
length, after twenty-six hours of toil, the ,
first man was taken out almost uninjured, ;
though exhausted by his close Confinement. i
Some time longer was consumed in reacli- E
ing the second in consequence of" his posi- :
tion, but he too was rescued, and thus the ,
labor of the day was richly rewarded. ?
Altogether this is a remarkable instance i
of danger and successful rescue. '

The Burning of Quarantine.
The destruction of the Quarantine
buildings on Staten Island, New York,
was caused us most. of our readers are
aware, by filars of the inhabitants of that
vicinity of the spread of yellow fever
among them. In the utmost excitement
on this account, these people forgot the
necessities of the case, defied the law, and
exhibited a shameful inhumanity toward
the ufortunate people who were receiving
medical treatment there ; while the result
may very likely show that they were as
blind to their own interests and safety as
they were to other considerations. The
patients are now deprived of all shelter
and medical care in regular hospitals, and
must be taken elsewhere for treatment,
and the chances of the spread of the dis-
ease are thus incalculably increased. Fur-
ther, about sixty passengers by the Em-
pire City from Havana, who arrived at
Quarantine on Tuesday, escaped in the
confusion of the night, and are scattered
,
{j-
among their friends in New York and
elsewhere, and it is by no means impro-
bable that the villainous conduct of the
incendiaries may result in the introduction
of a terrible devastating epidemic in the
metropolis and its neigthrhood.
On Wednesday night eight buildings
20% 100 feet in size, a small-pox hospital,
the coal-house, baggage-house and engine—
house, the residence of Dr. Thompson—
with his furniture and library,—and the
large building called the St. Nicholas,
were destroyed. Many of the patients
sick With yellow fever and other diseases
were left lying on the grass till morning i
During the day, however, they were re-
moved to the one remaining building.
But the worst was yet to come. On
Thursday evenings. meeting of the people
of Castleton was held, at which Ray
Tompkins, ahotel keeper, presided, and
John C. Thompson presented rcsblutions
justifying the outrages of the night pre-
vious. The meeting then adjourned “to
finish the work.” They then proceeded to
the Quarantine grounds, set fire to the
cottages of .the health officel's’ boatmen,
to Dr. Waller’s three-story dwelling, to
the brick-house of the resident physician,
Dr. Bisscll, and finally to the remaining
hospital. This last building was crowded
with patients in all stages of the yellow
fever, small pox, and other diseases, who
were taken out and laid. on the grass be-
tween thc two burning buildings ! Thus
the fiendish work is completed—N. H.
