Onty • •mall auiUsnoe assembled• at
tjie Grand Opara Bouse, last evening, to
hear tira Her. Henry Ward Heecber lec
ture- ou "The Wastes and Burdens of
iodmj.
Mr. Beecher appeared promptly at 8
o'clock, and commenced hit remarks
with a bnef reference to society —its In
tricate formation and peculiar construc
lion, the whole forming a structure that
oould not be regulated by any nun or
set of men. But society, at present, he
said, was in such a condition that only
one-fourth of it was in a sound and
healthy state, and that this heal ihy por
tion was burdened with the support of
the wasteful and diseased major portion.
The wastes of society were classified
under the beads of disease, Ignorance,
uutruthfulnesa, political and religious
contentions, war and Intemperance, and
each burden was dissected and analyzed
until its oHeusireness was made plain
and palpable to the senses of,hls bearers.
He dwelt with particular emphasis on
Ute lim waste, diseas9, and roundly de
nounced the system practiced in many
large cities of keeping the broad
nues lined by rich men's homes in a
state of perfect cleanliness, while the
iHimea of the poor are allowed to front
upon streets reeking with filth. It was
all very well for the rich man to rest in
fancied security in liis magnificent home
on a broad, we|l-paved, and cleanly
swept avenue, but the noxious gases
which arise from the poor man's tillliy
street will find their way .to the rich
man's gorgeous apartments, and the in
fliction which he uoconcernedly permit
ted the poor citizen to writhe under, will
rest with double force upon him. Uon
sldering the fact tbal tlie average dura
tion of humau life should be seventy or
eighty years, white statistics show that
it only reaches thirty-five years, lie
thought this waste of society w as assum
ing enoimous proportions, and that it
was the duly of every man to endeavor
to suppress it.
The other wastes and burdens were
then tskeu up iu turn and discussed In
the most thorough manner,
niaiks, throughout, were freighted with
rich huuiur and racy social lilts, as well
as a complete exposure of the evils re
sulting Iroin the Imposition of such
wastes and burdens upon the social por
tion of the body politic. Througliout he
was complimented with the closent at
tention of his audience, and though Mr.
Beecher has frequently Had larger audi
ences he uevqr addressed one more ap
preciative than that which enjoyed his
lecture last mght.

A CHURCH EXCITEMENT
ARCHBISHOP WOOD CAL'S*« A COMMOTION
AMONG HIS CATHOLIC BKKTIIKKN
In April last, Archbishop Jarner E.
Wood, of Philadelphia, vi«lied Delaware
county, Pa., and udopted the little daughter
a woman who had Ju«t died at the alms
house, making her his heir-at-law. The
Bishop h I in seif made
application to the
Uourt for permission lo adopt the chi Id,and
application was granted by Judge
Clayton. This fact Is ju«l now beginning
attract ver> grave i* tient ton from the
Catholics or Philadelphia, and Delaware
County, and the i'rothonntary ha« been fre
quently visited to ascertain Its truth. The
importance of the step to the <'aihollc fol
lowing, arises out of tbeir habit ot placing
money in the hands of tlie head ot the
church, without other security than religi
ous fellowship and honor. The adoption
an heir-at-law might seriously Interfere
with the funds In the Archbishop's hands
he were to die without a will, or if there
should be auy conruslon In his account«,
and as the step Is a most unusual one
the part of the priesthood, me ag
Catholic circles I« not to be worn!
Last week legal gentlemen aud others
nected with the church visited Media with
the view to investigate. When shown the
record«, one ot them pronounced Bishop
Wood's signature a forgery, but when told
that the hu«liie«s had been transacted by
Edward A. Price, Esq., an attorney ot the
nnesl repute, he refused to go to him, and
procernled to tlie altn*hou«e lo scan the re
cord there. Tills conduct looked us though
the shrewd city lawyer did not want so
much to ascertain the truth, as to discover
some tlaw by which the business could be
undone or pronounced illegal.

A Big Fire at Salem, N. J.
THE WHOLE TOWN NEARLY DE
STROY ED-PEKSONS INJURED.
About half-pait 7 o'clock, last night, a
fire broke out iu Salem, N. J., in the
workshop of Dunn & (jo's furniture
manufactory.
The Inflammable character of the
building's contents gave it such a head
way that the local fire department was
entirely unable to master the flames.—
Salem's tire department consists of but
three hand engines and a hook and lad
der company. The town authorities,
finding tlie etfirts of this small force
unavailing, telegraphed to Camden for
aid. In response Chief Engineer Brad
shaw and the entire Camden fire depart
ment left the latter place at 11 o'clock in
a special train. The fire department
were unable to get at water for thirty
minutes, and by that time tbe fire was
driven to the stables In the rear of Gar
wood's Botel, on Market street, below
Broadway. Thence the flames spread to
the barns of J. Q. Davis aud C. Eakiu,
threatening large valuable property on
Market street. Tlie baru of Morris
El well was torn down to prevent the
further progress of tlie fire in this direc
tion. Tbe flames then flew before a
north wind to valuable buildings fronting
on Broadway, burning Jervis Hires' stole
and residence. The butcher shop of
David Hires, the store aud dwelling of
Peter Pendegrast, Frozer At Farrell's
cigar store and A. E. Taylor's grocery
store were next swept away, and tbe
conflagration having
four hours and a hall
building. Then the wind died out some
what and the flames were mastered.—
Had the fire worked up town further it
would have taken in the aherrou Build
ing, 6tar Hotel, Garwood's Hotel and
other valuable properties, Including the
< 'ou i t House. Most of tbe bouses des
troyed were large frame structures. Tbe
walls of Dunn's building full lu at 10.40
o'clock, maklug the most furious poiut of
tbe conflagration. Tbe destroyed prop
erty was In tbe centre of tbe old town,
and covered a space of about two aud a
half acres. Several small frame houses
iu tbe rear of the Broadway buildings,
were swept up like so much tiuder. Iu
oue of these, occupied by Thos. Brown,
two children, lu the excitement were left
sleeping, and it Is stated that the lives of
tbe little ones were lost. Two of the
firemen were seriously injured, and
Henry M. Rumsey, tellur of the Salem
National Bank, was badly wounded by
falling limbers. The personal exertious
of the citizens, the work of tbe small
fire department, the active aid of the
Gamdeu firemen, and the teariug down
of buildings adjoining those on fire, to
gether,saved the town from total destruc
tion. Tlie buildings destroyed were not
in themselves valuable, tbeir cost being
•sti mated at but from $50,800 to $100,
000, but the loss to tbe town caunot uow
be estimated.
Most of tbe places of business burned
were insured, aud about oue-balf tbe
losses are thereby covered. Tbe Cum
berland company, of Bridgetou ; tbe
Millville, of Melville, and tbe Girard, of
Philadelphia, are the principal compa
nies holding policies.

Tnikish Outrages in Crete.
PRETEXT AFFORJDED FOR AN
ENGLISH OCCUPATION.
Russian Advance In Roumeiia.
London, Jan. 3 , 1878 .
The Herald correspondent in Crete
telegraphs, under the date of Tuesday ,
that on that day some Christian families
attempted to enter the town of Retimo,
but were met at the gate by a Turkish
mob and assaulted with great violence
The fanatical Turkish populace assem
bled in large numbers aud treated tbe un
fortunate Christians with great barbarity,
men, women, and children faring equaU
badly at their hands.
Having the gates of tbe town on tbe
Christians the infuriated mob turned
their attention to the B itlsh Vice Cou
sul. He was pursued by an excited and
savage crowd, many of whom had knives
and his life was for a time In imminent
danaer. He dually escaped to a place of
safety, and the mob tiuding themselve*
baffled dispersed. While these scenes
were being enacted a number of Turkish
soldiers ^ere looking on, but remained
Inactive aud seemed to sympathize with
the mob.
The British iron-clad Rupert arrived in
Crete on Monday, aud on the captai
ceiring information of these riotous pro
ceedings got ready for sea immediately
and started for Retimo on Tuesday night
It is considered likely that England will
occupy Crete with a view to prevent
massacre as well as to put down all at
tempts made by the Greeks to stir up in
surrection on tbe island. This may lead
to serious complications, as it would be
really an advance of the English forces a
step nearer to the theatre of war.
