Clipper S/zip FZ_7/mg Claud.—-The “ fast
sailing” clipper ship Flying Cloud, built at
East Boston, and owned by Grinnell, Min‘
tvrn 65 Co , of Boston, has made an tis-
tonishing passage to San Francisco. She
left N. Y. at 6 P. M. June 2d, and arrived at
San Francisco on the 2Otl1 of August, thus
making the passage in the unprecedented
short period of 79 days, the shortest by 17 days
ever before made. She made C pe Horn in
50 days, and the litie on the Pacific side in
71 days. Her best run in 24 hours was 374
miles -—the greatest run ever made by any
sea going vessel—-—aVcrageing 153 miles per
hour. While making this run she was car-
ryingitop gallant sails with the wind ‘one
point forward ofthe beam. She ran in three
consecutive days 092 miles, and on one oc-
casion 17 knots line were insufficient to meas-
ure her wonderful speed. Her poorest day’s
work was 40 miles. When ten days out she
sprung her maintnast head, rendering the
mast very.'tendcr the rest of the voyage.
5%‘ Vile learn from the Hartford Times,
that the Hon. Hiram Ridei',,of Wilmington,
formerly Treasurer of this State, Sheriff’ of
Tolland county, and County Court Judge,
died at his residence on Friday oflast week.
His wife was buried on \Vednesday ofthe
same week, and his daughter died the week
previous. All of them died of the dysente-
ry, which has recently been quite prevalent
in that town. Judge Rider had been a man
of considerable influence in his town and
county, and was well known throughout the
State. He was 61 years of age.
The Oliserv-r1toi'_i/.—lVIrs. Dudley has, with-
characteristic liberality, increased her subs-
cription to the Observatory, from $10,000 to
$13,000. Mr. Van Renssalaer has also gi-
ven another lot of land for the same object.
The sum of $25,000 is now raised. Prof.
Mitchell is daily expected in town to super-
intend its erection. He has been guaran-
teed $l500 per annum for five years by a
number of otir wealthy citizens who take an
interest in this improvement.

engaged berths at the office of Livingston,
Wells 8: Co., No. 8 Place de la bourse,
where she spent half an hour in making in-
quiries about the United States,showing con-

T/Le Best Ii’.ecummciidali0ii.--A youth seek-
ing employment went to one of our large ci-
ties, and on enquiring at a certain counting
room if they wished a clerk, was told that
they did not. On mentioning the recom-
mendations he had, one of which were from
a highly respectable citizen, the merchant
desired to -bee them , in turning over his car-
pet bag to find his letters, a book rolled otit.
on the floor. “ What book is that 5” said
the merchant. “ It is the Bible, sir,” was
the reply. “ And what are you going to do
with that book in Alcui York :7’ ' ‘he lad
looked seriously into his face and replied
“ I pi-omisecl my mat/lei‘ I 'U'0z1lrl 713/Irlil e err;
(lay, a/ml 1 s/tall (lo il,” and burst into tears.
The merchant immediately engaged his ser-
vices, aiid in due time he became a partner
in the firm, one ofthe most respectable in the
city.
A Fair Hzl.—Scarcely had the mails
brought by the Baltic been disturbed, when
it was on ’Cbange that that steamer had been
disposed of to the British company. There
was much astonishment expressed at such
unwelcome news; but the whole truth soon
came out, when one of the brokers of “Tall
street inquired, “ I/Vhat have they sold her
for '.l” “What for? why, to tow the Cunard
steamers from Liverpool to New York, to
be sure.” The broker retired to his private
office.
A Good One.——Davy Crockett happened
to be present at an exhibition of ahimals
some time ago at least, in the city of Wash-
ington, where a monkey seemed to attract his
particular attention, and he rather abstract-
edly observed. “ll that fellow had on a
pair of spectacles he would look like Major
VVright of Ohio.” The Major happened to
bejust behind Crockett and overheard the
observation, and gently tapped Davy on the
shoulder, when he, Davy, very formally re-
1narked,“I’ll be hanged, Major, if I know
whose pardon to ask———;i/ours orl/iciiioii/.77/’s ”
Excessive PoZz'lene..c.v —-A good story is told
ofia very polite sheriff who come near being
outdone by a person it was in the line of his
duty to hang. “ Sir,” said the gentleman,
as the Sheriff was carefully adjusting the
rope, “really, your attention deserves my
thanks. In fact I do not know ofone I should
rather lir.i.i;e hang me,” “Really," said the
Sllcriff, “you are pleased to be complimenta-
ry. ldo not know of another individual it
would give me so much pleasure to hang.”
E’ A story is current here, of a little
sharp practice on the part of the Cashier of
the People’s Bank of Paterson, which is too
good to be lost. The morning this Institu-
tion failed, he came. in town, expecting to
make arrangements to go on as usual; but
his agent here very properly refused to rc-
deem the bills ,unlcss supplied beforehand
and the cashier accordingly st-.1rted on his
return to make pi'e.perations for closiiig the
bank. On arriving; at.lei'sey City, he found
quite‘a number of brokers collected, who
had got wind of the trouble, and were on
their way to l’atei‘son to secure, if possblc,
the redemption of the billsin their hands-—
The train started. the hungry bill-holders
seated in the cars, and the Cashier, who is

with the Engineer on the locorriotivc. After
a run ofa few miles the bolt, by which the
engine drcw its burden, was quietly with-
drawn, and the locomotive, carrying the
Cashier, shot onward to Paterson, leaving
the cars to follow at their leisure. As soon
as he had taken leave ofliis passenger, the
engeneer put back to bring up the train, and
found itata' dead stand in an interesting
locality, where the passengers had abundant
time and opportunity to examine the scenery,
and cool the fever of their Imp€ll:l€nCe.-—-

E’ Fraud on the Revenue.-—lIIr. J. K. Her-
rick, a well known Impoi‘tei‘_ of Books and
Stationery, has been discovered in passing
fraudulent invoices through the Custom
House. He has been arrested, and made
full confession. About $50,000 worth of
gootls in his store has been seized by the
Federal officers. The discovery was made
by some parties in the book trade, who have
been undersold by Mr. Herrick. His prac-
tice was to copy invoices reducing the quan-
tity, and in one instance he passed 860 Bi-
bles upon an invoice which stated the ' num-
her at 500, be paying duty only on the small
number. He has passed about twenty of
these invoices. Mr. Herrick has heretofore
borne a good character, was in the first social
standing a member of a Church, &c. The
discovery was made on Friday, but for sulfi-
cient reasons was kept secret until the next
day.—-— Tribune.
Fatal Acdzrlent are ('6 J?.ailro'ad.--Yesterday
afternoon as the express train from New
York approached the Stratford station, three
men were discovered upon the track. The
alarm whistle was sounded and the breaks
applied, but one of the men, either from be-
ing confused, or some other cause, neglected
to leave the track, and he was taken by the
cow catcher and carried some 40 oi‘ 50 rods
on the frame work of the locomotive, be-
fore the train could be stopped, and was so
severely injured that he died within an_hour
He was taken back to the station, and by
the direction of the conductor, Mr. P. Den-
nis, medical assistance was called, and every
effort made for the alleviation of the wotind-
ed man, but without avail. The accident,
although much to be regretted, is one which
in our opinion, is not to be attributed to any
fault of the engineer of the train, but was
solely caused by the heedlessness of the per-
son killed. He was a Scotchman, about 27
years of age,aiiil had the appearance of be-
ing a lab)rcr.—N. H Pall. Oct 911;.

of him. jumped from the safe track (proba-
bly confused)direct|y in front of the engine.
He was killed instantaneonusly.

“ We have no desire, to enter upon any
question of disputed policy; but wish to re-

before long, be ccrletl lo ./Imericrt, its persever-
irig enterprise, its great commerce and its
wealth, are certain to secure this prize; nor
will England be in asitiiution to dispute it

A Clicap Place to Live Iii.—-The London
Literary Gazette, in a notice of Mr. Neale’s
work on Syria, says:
“People who love to live well and cheap
at the same time, should go to Antioch. Mr
Neal tried to be extavagant there’ btit found
it to be impossible, “ house rent, servants,
horses, board, washing, and wine included,”
to spend more than £40 per year.
A quantity of rum stored in the collar of

not have been here!” A voice from the

The County Fair.
The Agi'iculttii'zil Fair for this county, liolden
at Bridgeport‘. last; week. was the best and larg-
est in point; of display and merit ever held in
this county. The competitions for the various
premiums were well contest.ed.and the various
articles of mechanical or domestic construction
were piobalily never surpassed in number or
beauty of construction and finish.
On \Vednesdiiy,t.lie “cattle” were the lions,
and old Fairfield county presented her premium
breeds. VVe‘tliought the show of horses rather
inferior to her resources, but in sheep, swine
and horned cattle we were fully mid well rep-
resented. We saw one noble inilcli cow raised
by Messrs. Hull, Sherwood 6:. Sons of Fair-
field, of the native breed, sold to P. T. Barnum
for $100. There were sixteen entries of picni-
try, coinprising almost. every known fowl, and
flltl'flClIHg more attention and interest among
the crowds appareiitly than anything else up-
on the field. VVe were much gratified to wit-
ness the growing interest manifested in the
iiiiproveinent and «choice selection of stock and
fowls. \Ve observed a very highly wrought.
gig citrriiige upon the ground, of Spiiiiisli pat

iecoiiinieiidiitions of which, we Ieiirned from

Tliursday was (lie day of the Fair and some
30 entries were iniide for the Biiiiiuni Premi-
uins. We never saw such plowing before, and
niiiiiy of our fiiriiiers declared all the contest-
nuts to betip-top plowers. \Ve noticed with
much interest the work of a dotible plow, or
subsoil pluwer, which not only turned up the
soil some 12 inches deep, but left it broken up
as neatly and fine as if done‘ with it spii(le.——
After the time for the plowing had elapsed,
Judge lluntington of II:ii'tftii'(l delivered from
a stand in the field, a very able oration on the
subject of the dignity of ngrictilture, mid gave
to his effort the touch of ii inuster mind. He
was followed in ii few happy reiniirks by the
Rev. Mr. Cliii pin, of N. Y. who was succeed-
‘ed by the ever felicitous and immortal Bar-
num. in his wonted siillies of Wit and humor.

was then read, and the vast niultitu-Ie disper-

The first pi'einiuiii of $50 was won by Mr.

most spii'il'ed and successftil efforts ever made
by our agricultural society and we tiilte pleas-

Mi~:ssus. EDITORS :—In your lust iiuinber I
notice an article in reliition to the estzililisliment
of it Lyceum in this pliice,and have tiiken upon
myself the task of acquaiiiting yoti with it few
facts concerning the subject, of which you may
not be awn re, and of what iiiiportzince you can
judge after reading the following. About; one
year since a number ofyoung men, the writer
oftliis article among the number, mostly clerks
in the employment of the mercliiints of this
town, were in the habit of meeting together
after business hours in the evening to devise
soiiio means by which amusement might be
obtained during the long evenings of the ensu-
ing wiiiter. but it was soon discovered that
aiiiuseinent. was not the only thing wiiuting, and
it proposition was made by one 0| two of our
number that ii society .-Iiiuld be formed for ed-
uciitioniil and instructive ptii'poses,wliich prop-
osition was met with joy by the reinziinderand
unaniinously accepted. For anotlier month or
more our evenings were devoted to framing ii
constitution and by-laws for the governnient of
the society. and the society was organized un-
der the niiiuc of the “Evening Star Club,” and
elected its first roll of officers on the third of
December, 1850, since which time it has
steadily progressed, and is now in a flourishing
condition, liziviiiga small library and a furnished
The object for which this society was
first originiited was simply the establishinent. of
ti library from wliicli members could select
useful books, and this object alone was steadily
held in view for ti long time, but iioiv our views
have become enliii'ged, and for two or three
months past. we have at each meeting appoint-
ed a question for debate at the succeeding one
—-so that. the plan of it Lyceum is fully carried
out. \Ve now receive additions to otir number
nearly every week, which will soon give us a
respectable footing. The society is supported
by does, each member paying one dollar per
quarter. New members are required to pay
an admission fee which varies according to the
age of the persons becoming a meiiibeiu, No
person is admitted to this Club unless possess-
ing a good moral cIiai'nctei', and no person who
is found to be dishonest. or unworthy of trust is
allowed to continue a member. Itliiiik I have
now said enough to give you an insight. into the
objects of the Club, and in conclusion I would
remark that knowing as I do your feelings on
the subject I have ventured to address you in
this maniier with the hope that you will place
it before the public in such a manner as will
give us the countenance and support of some of
our leading citizens who are ever ready to en-
courage lllly enterprise so well calculated to
benefit. the minds ofthose who come within its
influence as this.
