Bad Sell.

Our friends,Messrs. Meekcrdt Olmstead,over
the way, who have so long sold Groceries so
cheap, were themselves the victims of a bad
sell on Saturday. It seems the store was not
opened as early on that morning as usual,
and some mo e wide-awake wag, tacked on a
uoticcin the usual funcrial form:

“ Closed, in consequence of :1.

. Breakfast in the Family 1”
The door was crowded with sympathizing
friends, who, not comprehending the joke,
supposed a sad bereavement had overta-
ken some relative of the firm. But. our friend
George soon appeared, looking file-cher- than
ever, and aftcrindulging in an extravagautly
broad grin, hurriedly pulled down the 'shut-
ters. '

 

 

 

-—-—-o<<0>>~—-——

That “ Breakfast” was not. without benefi-
cial results on our friend Meeker, as we be-
held him bright and early [the early bird
catches the worm.] this, Monday, morning,
shoveling up the filthy garbage in the street.
We honestly believe every merchant in Main
street to be a clever fellow, and we hope to
see each one get rich at his business, but we
do hope the public will be particular to trade
with those only showinga “ clean dooryard.”
The condition of this thoroughfare is a
greater part ofthe time, in a most ihocking-
1y filthy condition, and disgraceful to those
who are instrumental in its delilemcnt.

' Important‘Discovery.

We had a call on Saturday'last, from Prof.
Greenough .of Vermont, the original inven-
tor of the Burning Fluid and Camphene now
in such general use. He was drawn to this
secti'on'of the State in consequence of the
deplorable accident, caused by the use of
Burning Fluid, resulting in the death of the
daughter of Ex Lieut. Gov. Hawley of Siam-
ford. 'Prof‘. G. has invented a process of‘
charging these highly inflammable and explo-
sive materials with Carbonic Acid in solu-
.tion, in such amau ner that, while its illumi-
naflhg properties are not diminished, it is im-
possible to explode it, under any circumstan-
ccs. He has invested the Messrs. C. & E. K.
Lockwood lb 00., with the secret of its manu-
facture; and we there witnessed experiments
in every possible form, with a view to explode
it, but without success. It is a really noble
and humane achievement and we trust no oth-
er fluid may find its way into the homes of
our people. We will speak of it again.

Turtles.—For months past quite large
quantities of snapping turtles have been
sent weekly from Danbury to New York,
where they find a ready sale. Bro. Osborne,
of the Times, having heard of this new com-
mercial article, was somewhat desirous of
seeing one. Some person 'told him that he
had one shut up, and off he posted to see it,
when 10! it proved to be a very small speci-
men of the speckled species. Levi didn’t
like the joke, and we should not be surprised
pifhc engaged some lady friend to write an
“ original” article of poetry on the subject,
selected from the spelling book. By the
way, neighbor Osborne, 110w would a fine fat
snapping turtle go, baked with the staple
commodity of your town? Turtles are said
to be very fine eating, and the beans can
speak for themselves.

the benefit of the pupils ofour schools, but from its na_
turn must profs equally interesting to their parents,
and all friends of Education.

Most of the experiments by which the lecture is ac-
colupunicd are of an entirely difiereut nature from any
that have been witnessed in this place, particularly

mum especially those performed by means of his ini-

(formalmudcucc of the (Idaho.
Railroads dud Steamboat'a.

By the recent reduction of fare on the New
York and New Haven Railroad, the olliccrs of
that. Company disclaim any intention of in- J
stiluting an opposlt.iou to Steamboats, but *
have done so in good faith, with the hope of
increasing travel on their route, and in com-
pliance with the general desires of Nepal.-
rons and the public. This all souixds very
well, and would show a Commontlablc spirit.
on the part. of its projectors, were there not.
some peculiarities about. it. which have. not
been oxpluiuvd. It would seem hardly nec-
essary for a corporation of their pretensions
to warn people of the “dangers of Sound
navigation.” as an additional inducement to
their patrons and the public to avail them-
selves of the advantages which a railroad,
“With a double track all the way,” afforded
them for the transportation of passengers and
freight. For a railroad which has boosted its
inability to do its legitimate business, and
had paid thousands of dollars yearly to
stcamboats,to induce them to continue their
trips, and thus convey freight and “ rough-
scuff” passengers which the road did not
want, for such an “ institution” to become rc—
duced to the necessity of .mmencing an op-
position to those very same lines of Steam-
boats, is certainly a very remarkable inci-
dent, an incident which illustrates with rc-
markable force, the great “ dangers of Sound
navigation.” “Oh! mighty Cmsul', are all
thy trophies, triumphs, and spoils of war

2 shrunk to this little measure.”

Excuse us, we had forgotten that this is not
an opposition, but only an inducement, a
compliance with the desires of the public.—
But how remarkable it is that there should be
ho public, or thatgthe public should have no
desires, to and from stations whole there are

no Steamboat facilities! How much cheaper
can a person travel now from New Haven to
Bridgeport, or Norwalk, than he could before
this railroad with a “double ti'aclti’hud such
a remarkable manifestation of the public do-
sires? How very forlunatc for the Stockhol-
ers that this manifestation did not exhibit it.-
sclf to the "member from Stamford" before

year at. the old rates ! .Nincly-five cents for
a ride ofthirly-lwo miles east, and sir/y cents
for a ride offorlyjbur miles Wt st, only show
how pressing the desires of the public ale to
“ avoid the dangers of Sound navigation,”
whilst a transportation of 70' miles for 81,25,
is another evidence of the public‘s apprecia-
tion of the advantages and safety of the
“double track” branch of the Harlem road 1
What a pity that“ interested speculators in
Steamboats and Murlay Hill Real Estate,”
who “ have no regard for the safety of hu-
man life,” or the “ convenience and wants of
the traveling public,” should become so
powerful as to threaten the very existence
of such a panacea for the dangers of Sound
navigation. Still, we trust, the public will
have some compassion yet for Steamboats.—

‘ As Burke once said, “ ou must mardon some-
1

thing to the spirit of liberty,” why not par-
don something lo the spirit of experience?
Perhaps the repugnanee ofthe double track
fraternity to navigation, arises in a measure
from their own experiments. They have n.
dislike for water in more respects than one,
and should be indulged in avoiding it if they
choosc4—at least we think tb'eir boasted re-
gard for human life would suggest the propri-
ety of this course, so far as the “ double
track” is concerned. M.

12$“ Mr, lS’isc’s balloon, “Ginnymede,"
made an ascension from Boston Common,
Monday afternoon, inthc presence of a.
large number of spectators. No passen-
gers accompanied her, but instead, the
car contained an India rubber bag, 2111'
tlght, filled with letters, docmicutsfilewa
papers, 850. In the car was a loaf of
genuine Boston brand, a bottle of Amer.
icun wine, abottlc sealed, in which was
a letter directed to the finder, requesting
an answer, together with sumry ot-
her matters of interest. The as cent
was very fine. The balloon took a.
uorthwostcrly direction, gradually rising
and extending and finally disappeared in
the soft blue of the sky. It isllot expect:
ed thatthe balloon will ever be obtained
but is hoped whenever it descends, wheth-
er on sea or land, that it may fall into
hands who will reply to the letter inclosed
in the bottle. Much curiosity willbe ex-
cited to know its final destination.

a pilot boat, 011 Tuesday evening, abon't
ten or twelve miles outside from Boston,
