Miss Kimberly’s Readings.
:In compliance with an earnest solicitation
on the part of'_a citizen of Norwalk.Miss
Kimberly has consented to the experiment of
giying one of her readings in this place on
Thursday evening of the present week.—
Having heard her ourselves repeatedly, and
always with inci'eased delight, we are confi-
dent that our citizens will deny themselves a
treat seldom, if ever, before enjoyed here, if
they. fail to attend her recitation of Butler’s
great sarcastic poem. Miss K. is a lady of"
very. rare powers, as an elocutionsit and we
hope some arrangement will be effected with
her agent whereby the senior members of our
_' scho'fil may attend in a‘hody. Wherever we
’ha've‘attended‘her readings in' New Haven,
the largest hall in that city has failed to sup-
ply room for those who sought attendance,
even at 50 cts. per ticket, as she reads here
{01‘2fi5'ctisq we hope to see Phoenix Hall filled
at’least, asiargely as on the occasion of a 3d
rate negro performance. We append the
following notice ofher last appearance at New
Haven from the Journal and Courier":

THE NATIONAL HORSE
ingand learning the {lessons of this really great exhi<
bifiou. There were nearly the hundred outfit-u 01'
horses and probably faking: the l-‘uir fhr-lughbuf, at
least 100,000 (-nli‘ip); of poi-bur: “ llampden Polk,”
the theare of the exhibition is doubtless one ufihe most
“‘lluirably 3,1,”,th and beautiful spots in theiworid.
for such an exhitiiiou and we hope to see the day when
Connecticut can boast of some similar enclosure, at
some central point in the State for the permanent use
of its; State Agricultural Society. We do not think the
number of very showy, stylish driving animals equalled
the first exhibition in 1853, while in regard to speed
prolmbiy no exhibition ever held in any portion of the
world could cOnIparc with the present. There were
single horses ranging in value from Ethan Allen at
$30,000, [It is stated that the owners of this horse have
a standing insurance on him of $20,000, and has earned
them an income of 812,300 the past season] dmvn to
the tiniest Shetland at $50- The contests of speed were
truly exciting, and divested as they were, froul all as—
sociation with gambling horsequeu, and under the di—
rection of such men as David Loaviif, and the local
managers of the show composed of the first citizens of
Springfield, it is really refreshing to witness these con-
tests of speed and endurance. ' However much men
may differ in opinion in regard to this matter of frot-
tlug horses, speed is an clement of- power, and one of'
the noblest attitudes of that noblest of the brute crea-
tion. The most sanctimonious deacon Aminidab wouli
not consider his dobbirr worth the less because he pos-
sessed the qualities of quick locomotion.
The rain on Thursday made a general interruption,
but the exercises were continued through Saturday
wffh unabated interest. The dinner on Friday was,
perhaps, the most agreeable feature of the Horse Fair.
Edward Everett and Gov. Banks were the principal
speakers. Gov. Buckingham of Connecticut, made a
few remarks in response to a graceful compliment paid
to our State by the President of the day. lion. George
Bliss. Solon Robinson, of the Tribune, gave soiungm-d
practical, common-sense hints about the imprt’rvcmout
of horses, and Richard II. Yrudon of the Charleston
Courier “Spread the American Eagle” pretty exten-
sively Over Messachuserts and her fiuukey orator, Ed-
ward Everett. Altogether, as an exhibition of “ thor-
ough-bred” women and men. as well as horses, this ex-
hibition surpasses all that has gone before, and reflects
a high degree of credit upon its l’residentand Board of
Managers.
In this connection we cannot refrain from expressing
our personal gratitude to our old friend TlmS. WAItxlIu,

ON THE “TING.
5
No.
From the most magnificent sail we ever
enjoyed (.30 miles in 1.’ hours and 3 minutes)
in a sailing craft, we transferred ourselves to ,
the cars ofthc Providence audStouington road,
under the auspicious conductorship of Monsier
J. Ii. GARDINE a most courteous and efficient
officer, as our friend the “ General” isready
and anxious to swear on every possible occa-
sion. For, be it known, our travelling com-
panion. not having burnt any of his midnight
oil in Editorial rhapsodics over the attractive
features, and decided advantages of the route
had been compelled to barterhis gold instead
of his brains for tickets,- aud the aforesaid
tickets having been transfered to the safe
keeping of hisfrow, had turned up missing,”
as Pat said. Every mauwhohas ever “been
thar,”kuowshow much more tantalizcingit
is to lese his ticket than to lose the value in
money! It Shakes the nervous system more
and is vastly harder to be borne. We on-
(leavorcd to quiet the agitation of our friend,
by applying to the clerk of the steamboatavho
relieved our solicitudc by informing us that
it was a very bad case, and the only salvation
would be to pay over again. The clerk of
whom they were purchased was not to be
found and the prospect. lightened up darkly
every moment, that another V had got to be
put down to the experience account, when
we found Conductor Gardiner. We never
saw a good garden or a good Gardiner, but
what we felt a desire to cultivate an acquaint-
ance and we readily perceive by the lcarking
smile in his eye, that he was a man after our
own heart,so we soon rehearsed the General’s
“ o’er true tale,” and found we had not mis-
taken our man. for sympathising in his mis-
fortunes im at once handed ovcr three gems of
ocean, still damp wiih Watch llill Spray, as a
seal of' remembrance, to substitute the lost
cards in the ticket collections. (From this
circumstance, the General suspects him to
belong to the Bardshells. but be that as it
may, the two rocks did the business, and our
friend and lady had to pay fare but once to
Providence.) What a difference, thought we
there is in men, and even in RailroadCouduc-
tors. What a glorious opportunity for a snap-
ping turtlc bread to have pulled the rope,
called the Engineer, Fireman and all the
brcakmen, to his aid. in summarily ejected all
hands from the cars! Wouldn‘t our (ll/cl: of
aconductor who used to enact fliepugilist on
the New Haven road, (whose conduct was so
coar so and masculine that lie was always
known as a Dralre,) have given his months
salary for just such a chance as this for
“ spreading himself.” But how easy for a
conductor who is a gentleman, whenhc meets
another gentleman, who has been unforfuue-
ate in respect to his tickets, on any other little
matter, how easy we say, to meet the difficul-
ty like a man and seccurc the friendship and
kind remembrance of his fellow man for all
lime, and as in may cases we could name,
secure to the road whose ser "out he is,a friend
through whose influence an untold patronage
may accrue.
In short how easy and pleasant “all round”
it is to get along with yourself and even a
pecvish Conductor if your determine. to keep
good natured come whit will. Yet how many
travellers there are who take a seeming delight
in making unnecessary difficulty wherever
the go and if they chance to entertain little
or no affecttiou for the Corporation, to vent
their spleen out on the Conductor, We think
we have accasionaily seen specimens of this
kind nearer at home. This is all wrong——
keep good natured yourself, and do as you
would wish to be dono by,or near as the Adam
in you will permit, and you will find your-
selves relievcd all tlirugh life of half the “ills
flesh is heir to.” But to return to our line of
march. In Conductor Gardiner’s train we
rapidly sped through l‘r'esterly, Kingston and
the hundred other little bussy, thrivingtowus
that bestud the line of this road all the way
from Stouingtou to Providence, at which place
we halted and improved all the daylight
remaining of Saturday in perambulating its
bustling streets and viewing its many fine
buildings. The objects of greatest curiosity
and wonder to the stranger in Providence is
its numerous Insurance Ollices and Banks.—
Of" the latter we believe there are over tlzr'rly
at least we were informed by one of its heav-
iest merchants that Providence contained-a
greater number of Banks than New York City!
In this view of the matters is it l'ifte singular
that they were about the first to Collapse last
fall. Still there is undoubtedly more real
wealthy ilr Providence than any other city of
its size in the rrnion. We found most excel»
lent accommodations at the City Hotel (which
is the tavern of the villiage) where we enjoyed
a shortbut comfortable night’s repose and
were roused up at 3%; A. M. to take the express
train for Boston where we descicd to “ go to
meeting.”
We reached the city of notions about 5t A.
M., took rooms with our old friend S'ruvrixs.
ol' the IiLVlcnlt, at whose monster Hotel both
the inner and outer man, never found cause
of dissatisfaction, and who, by the way, is
abo .t to become proprietor of the new marble
llotel, now nearly completed, at the corner
of 23d st. and Broadway, opposite Madison
Square. His world wide fame, as at the
head of the Boston Hosts, will follow nim to
his new quarters, and render the new marble

Methodist brother in the fore-noon, arid a sort
of l'uitarian Congregationalist D. D., in the
afternoon. The growth of Unitariauism and
especially of Universalism, in and about Bos-
tou is a little surprising, when we consider
its antecedents as the raidiafiug ground of
early New England Congregationalism. Rev.
D. Chapiu, of New York, had preached here
the previous three or four Sabbaths, and was
out at Salem to fill a pulpit there, or.~ this
occasion. - -
The early part of Monday was spent in pa-
triotic visitatious to Bunker llill Monument,
the Warren Statue,Faneuil Hall, do. &c.,and
an ascent of the old State Hpusc Dome, from
which is obtained one of the most charming
views ofllostou and its surroundings. Tiriug
out the ladies with sight seeing and promena-
ding the Common and flower garden adjoining,
we returned the to them Revere and theuweut
in search of such adventures as are supposed to
yield heaviest dividends to masculine minds.
The “ General” dropped into the more prom-
inent Dry Goods Houses. and inspected the
Bostonian modes of doing the Calico business,
we spotted an old advertiser and “brought
down the game,” elated at this success, we
resolved upon introducing the “ General” to
our old friend, Go]. Farwcllof the Boston
Times—brought the two military Chieftains
ltogcther, each gree‘ting the other with a
hearty shake of the hands-what our time be-
ing so limited, we could not wait for them to
step out and “smile” together usis said to
be the rnofilern custom among distinguished
military characters. The Colonel is a noble
fellow by the way, and we shall never sufiic-
cut-1y recompense him for his hospitality to
us attire time of the National Agricultural
Society’s great exhibition, when every hen
coup, and dove cote,and dry geods box was
transferred into sleeping apartments. Our
afternoon was spent it] :1 VII it to Mount Au-
burn, probably the most tasteful and inviting
resting place for the dead upon this Conti

ing exhibitions of tasteful l'cglll'll.llll' “ the
dear departed.” to be found on earth, There
is an air of holy and sacred sweetness perva-
ding the place.which so impresses the visitor
with its awe, that even the voice is hushed to
whispers, as we tread its winding avenues of
graves. Reader, never go to Boston witbput
visiting Mount Auburn, for if we mistake not,
not only will your senses'bc gratified,but
your spilitual life made the brighter, for this
visit to the resting place of the dead.
"Acting upon the suggestion of the zealous
Methodist brother from Wilton, who once
called our moral action in question for going
to the Theatre to hear and see the great
American Tragedian, Forrest, who in ans-
wer to our inquiries concerning the indul-
gence of his own appeiife for dramatic rep-
resentations confessed to frequent visits to
ilarnum‘s Jlluseum, and remarked it would
be entirely innocent for us to visit that mor-
al resort, but a heinous sin to go to lhc thea-
t1e.—we didn’t go to the Theatre, but went
to the Museum. So far as its collection of
curiosities is concerned, this is probably an
infantile concern, as compared with the great
showman’s really enormous collection. There
was to be a very pretty and very refined
young lady from one of the F. F. V. families
of Boston, who was to make her debut on
the occasion, and the institution was crowded
to its utmost capacity. Thtrc was singing,
scenery, parquctte, upper and lower tiers, so
very much like a theatre, however, that des-
pite her good playing and our good Methodist
brother’s distinction; we couldn’t help but
feel that it was all very like a Theatre, after
all. These reflections were all that disturbed
our comfort on the occasion that we can now
recall.
Tuesday we designed for our visit to Na-
haut, but the little steamer which runs“ down
the bay having been stove in by a Philadel-
phia steamship, our arrangements were dis-
conccrfed. But we were well represented by
our friend Lockwood,who commenced a view
of the sea serpent before he left New York.
and what surprised him, most of all, was to
find that his snakesllip should exhibit himself
at Nahant without an overcoat (‘3) Tuesday
we took ears again and ran down to Provi-
dence, thence took boat and steamed away
down Narraganset bay to Newport, thatjump-
ing off place of fashionable snobbery and ex-
quisite flunkeyism.
Newport as a. place of summer resort
is so well understood by the public and
has been so “ written to death,” by scrib-
blers from all quarters of the globe, that
we shall not attempt any lengthy descrip-
tion of it. “'0 can think of no cheaper
way of stating the whole story of its
present or future prospects than in the
cant phase of the bovs on the street,

played out. “’0 doubt whether there be
another place this side the 'Atlantic.
where pleasures and summer recreation
are bought at so dear a. cost of comfort,
patience and money. If you desire a

office dollars and a half days time, will
accomplish the job. If you desire to ride
through the principal streets ofthc town,

the price is five dollars. [We ought per-

1:3" The Stamford Advocate. in speaking
of the Encampment of the Eighth Regiment
~<¢c~...__—_—-
says :
" The duties were. generally, faithfully
performed, and with the exception of some
breaches of duty and good order by several
intoxicafcdsoldiers on Monday, the regula-
tions of the Camp were consistently main-
taiucd‘ ,
“ We make this assertion with a full knowl-
edge of the fact that a report has been widely
circulated and obtained much credcucc,-ro
the effect that ruauy of the officers and nearly
half of the men of the Regiment were intoxi-
catck during the three days of- the Encamp-
ment—that no sort of" disipline was preserved
on the Camp ground—and that the precccd~
lugs generally were disgraceful to the Mili-
tary Department of the County.
‘i We are not deisrous defending any man
or set of [1101] for a violation of military
discipline while on duty, or of shielding them
from condemnation for any breach of the laws
of good behavior while off duty; therefore,
while we cannot deny that there were several
cases of'intoxlcafion among the encampment
and perhaps a little more laxity of discipline
on that day than was entirely'consistent with
a wall regulated camp, we cannot conscien-
tiously withhold the trstimouy based on per-
sonal observation that save in a few exception-
ablc instances, the men behaved themselves 5
with fllcutmost decorum and that the Regi-
ment, as a body, dcserws tllc commendation
rather than the censure of the public."

A Trip to Niagara and Saratoga
Ail'ords, especially to those who have not
previously visited either place a sirlkiug op-
portunity of distinguishing and expeiitnciug
the wide difference in the nature of the im-
pressions prod need by the wonderful display
of' God’s power on the one hand, and the gay
glitter and tiusclry of man’s pride on the
other. Niagara Falls and the rapids make fu-
tile the attempt to describe fhcm,either by ster-
eotyping old ideas or coining new ones, one
full view of which and the foundation of our
Nature begins to vibrate, the mind is filled
with confused and bewildering ideas of the
greatness and power of the invisible, as if
the spinal cord was the telegraphic cable,
and the unseen operator mysteriously at
work, but the moral feelings well balanced ;
the bosom heaves and swells with rapture,
the soul expanded and elevated poises itself
upon the great cchtrai idea of our moral ex-
istence, faith in God.
Standing upon a Bridge thrown across the
rapids, a quarter of a mil) above the Falls,
we get a sublime view of this mass of troub-
led waters extending as far as the eye could
reach, the turbulent, heaving, tossing, cutau
giing and foaming of the mighty element
sweeps onward with increasing velocity, as if
in the wildest impatience and ecstacy, for the
filial leap which is made over a rocky pali-
sadc, 160 feet high, sweeping magnificently
over, its radiant bow beaming in all its rich
variety of hue, thus signalizing that the hand
of God is upon it. and reminding us in a most
suggestive manner of the great promise, and
now as if to enjoy a quiet repose after its
fretful passage from the great lakes, and its
swift descent to the abyss below, a watery
depth of ‘200 feet, it assumes upon its surface
a. quiet placid aspect, without a ripple, and
on this water a little craft is constant plying
to and fro, conveying passengers to within a
few feet of the Falls, enveloped in the dia—
mond mist and spray that sparkles and glit-
ters ill the sunlight. The mighty under-cur-
rent here manifests itself about three miles
below, where the channel of the water is sud-
deuly turned, producing a whirlpool which
makes everything stand aghast. It is not a
description. however, so much as the impres-
sions produced by these scenes that we were
aiming at. We do not believe that any one
can visit Niagara, beholding its wonders eith-
er from the islands which these waters sur-
round, from Table Rock, the most eligible
spot for a commanding view, or from beneath
the cataract, when its a'ugmentcd wonder and
grandeur becomes overpowering without
producing a growth of soul anda strengthen-
ing of mind.
At Sal'atoga we found the great annual
gathering couvcncdin accordance with the
decree of fashion ; the mammofhllotcls team
with thousands, ostensiblyiu pursuit of the
life draught, but whose externals would not
suggest the inference that an internal appre-
hension of present or threatened disease was
the dominant idea which had sent them thith-
cr from all parts of the New World. Among

Maine.
The Republican victory in Maine is com-
plete. The desperate efforts of the Democracy
were not wholly without result; they succeed-
ed in bringing out the full vote of their ranks
while many of the Republicans. stayed at home
and there is the'efore a relative loss in the
Republican majority. But even these efforts.
more powerful and well planned than is usual
in State contests, could not prevent the Re-
publicans from securing a complete and glori-
ous triumph. They have carried everything;
Merrill is I‘D-elected by 8000 or 9000 majority
the Legislature is lagcly Republican in both
branches ;aud the delegation to the XXXVllh
Congress from Mame will not be disgraced by
a single Democratic member. The delegation
is as follows:
Dist. 1 Daniel E. Somcs.
" II John J. Perry.
“ III Ezra 13. French.
“ iV Freeman II. Morse.
“ V Israel Washbuln, Jr.
“ VI Stephen 0. Foster,
Maine has nobly taken hersiand by the side
of Vermont. After such a test has been sus-
tained ilr this contest. we presume no one will
venture to doubt that Maine is a reliable ic-
publicau Slate.
Vermont, by lhe way. has done well. Full
returns show that the entire Republican State .
ticket is elected by a majority of 16,000, the
republican vote being nearly three times that
of the democrats; the Senate stands :10 repub-
lieans. nonemocrats; the llouse f99 republi-
cans and 30 democrats.—- JV. H. l‘alludzrun.

An Interesting Decision.
The Massachusetts Supreme Court made,
last week. an interesting decision on the
question whether the having Nuv York ‘ ix-
elrange cu discounts. in addition to legal in
tort-st, is usurious. Mr. Charles lily. of New
York and West Springfield, l'csisINl the pay-
ment of notes to the amount of $5.000.dis-
counted by the Hadley Falls Bank, of llolyoke
on the ground that the Bank, tobk usurious
interest to the amount in gross of $12.50.—
This extra interest was a charge of 1-4 of 1
per cent. for exchange for collection in New
York. where the notes were payable. Because
of'this charge. Mr. Ely contended that the
whole debt was void under our usury laws.—
Judge Bigelow charged quite strongly ilr favor
of the Bank : saying that though the defense
of usury is a lawful defense.“ was hardly an
equitable one.and is not regarded by business
men as a reputable defense. The jury gave a
full verdict for the Bank, with interestand
costs.

Cousr or 185S.-This remarkable comet
(says the Albany Argus) is now visible to the
naked eyc,as predicted by Dr. Gould some
weeks ago. It is now only one hundred and
forty millions of miles distautand is very rap-
idly approaching the earth, and already shows
through a common opera glass awcll defined
tail. We are told that during the first week
in October the comet will be of tilt: most stri,
king brightness, possibly the largest of the
century. and at that time will be seen near
Arcturusperhaps even supassinefhaf brilliant
star in Splendor. It is now visible for about
an hour after sunset and an hour before sun-
rise in a line with the two stars called the
Pointer-s. and forming nearly a rigthurgle
between these and Arcturus. It is new best
seen at four o’clock in the morning.
Dr. Gould also suggested in the last number
of his Journal that from the similarity of the
elements it was possible that this comet was
identical with the first comet of 1827. and film
that of 1764. This fact seems now. from the
recent observations almost. certain, affording
a resonable presumption that it is a period’c
comet, whose period is about thirty one years.

of the finest parks in New England. On
the northern side is a range of 200
horse-stalls, many of them double stalls,
anti all roofed in to protect the horses
from the weather, and secured from inr-

the eastern end in a double row, thorough-
ly protected from the weather. On the
northern side, a short distance from the
trotting course, is to be a large building,
250 feet by 60, for the display of mechan-
ical productions. On the west side of the
grounds is a long row of pens for sheep
and swine, extending around to tile seats
for spectators in the southwest corner of
the grounds. The lumber for all these
erections will amount to 300,000 or 350,-

wSOIOn Robinson of the Tribune
avows himself an admirer of the Messen-
ger strain of horseflesh, in preference to
any existing stock. He says the Con-
necticut valley is running the Morgan
breed into the ground. Already the
breeding in and in of the Morgan stock
has. developed a tendency to run back to
the Norm-an original, and produce bod.
ics too round and heavy for the short,
small legs of the auirnal. Is there not
much truth in this 1’ The Messenger
stock will be remembered by any who
have seen good specimens, as large, pow-
erful, big framed animals. Mr. Robin-
siu says :
“ I look upon Mr. Brown s more Son—
tag as one of', if not the the best breed-
ing mum in this country. Perhaps I am
influenced in my opinion by my prejudice
in favor of the Messenger stock, as she
not only comes of that blood, but is of
that color, form, general appearance and
excellent quality. Mr. Brown bought
her for $1700, after her trot to 300 lbs.
wagon in 2:31, and could probably now
sell her at three times her cost, besides
her two valuable colts. He has a stand-
ing offer of $1000 each for as many of
her colts as he will produce and sell at
weaning time. His young Trustee is
just the sort of horse that the owners of
Morgan mares need to infuse a cross of
,blood that will give more size, and fine
action. If wehave horse shows, I want
them to be not only gratifications to the
people as holidays, but heneficieut as a.
school. I’want them to learn that fat
alone does not constitute beauty, and that
a horse with flat bones in his legs, deep
sunken eyes, and open nostrils, and a big
body, is not necessarily the reverse of
beauty.”

N. Righter, the able and accomplished
Agent of the American Bible Society, in
Turkey, recently died in Diarhekir, in Asia
Minor. A benevolent native Armenian
gave a place for his bur'al in his own bu-
rial ground. The father of Mr. Righter
recently died in New Jamey. In grati-
tude to the Armenian who gave his son a
burial place, he directed in his will that a
Bible, in the Armenian language, bound
in the greatest elegance, should be for-
warded to the Armenian, as atoken of
gratitude for the kindness shown the prec-
ious dust of'nis son. A ceordingly a Bible
of the required description has been pro-
cured and bound in +he most magnificent
manner. it is bound in gold, morocco
and silk, and forms a splendid volume.—
It will ere long greet the eyes of the Ori-

l'iossession lately of $24,000, the bequest
of his wife who ran away to California
with another man some cars ago, made
money inf’arnously, but repeated on her
death bed, and made atonement by leave
ing the money with the injured husband.
Meanwhile the German married a second
wife and has several children who will
have the benefit of the fortune so oddly
come by.

tA German importing house at
New York lately received an invoice of
real Havana cigars, which were appraised
at the custom house at $3 per thousand.
The inhabitants of Sandy Hook, smut:
time since, wanted the Selectmen of New- ,‘
town to build a wider bridge, which, it is
saiddlwy agreed to do on certain consider-
ations. The conditions were readily corn-
plicd with, but instead of building a new
and wider bridge, the Selectmen conclu-
ded to repair the old one. A few nights
since, some person bored holes into the
main timbers of the bridge, and put in a
blast of powder, blowing them to pieces.
The Selectmen went over to Sandy Hook
and talked rather strong to tho inhabi~
talrl.s—“ that they (the Sandy llook pew
pic) did not do up the business very
sin-art,” «kc. Sonic fellow, thinking that
it was btst to convince the Selectmen
that he could do a. ‘-‘ smart thing,” set the
bridge on fire early this (Saturday) 11:0}:- j
ning, and it was entirely destroyed.”
