[3' Andrew Selleck has become the pub-
lisher of Judge Butler’s last work on the
“Atmospheric System," by which the
changes in the weather may be forecasted.
This is a practical book for practical minds,
and should be carefully read by every far-
mer, waterman or others interested in know-
ing the conditions of the atmosphere in ad-
vance. Were its contents known we are
sure our agriculturists and boatmen would
possess themselves of a copy.

[3' It isn't Often the boys at the “model
market.” get a “sell” returned upon them-
selves, although their placc is the headquar-
ters of the village jokers. A young repre-
sentative African rushed in item witnessing
the Lightning Calculator and announced to
“Lengthy” that he could beat all that science
cypheriug. “You just mark down any fig-
ures you please where I can’t see them,"
said- he, “and I will tell you what {you have
' made.” No sooner said than a formidable
column of figures were chalked upon the
partition unseen by Ethiopia, and the ques-
tion asked in an air of already achieved tri-
umph, “there, what have I made?” “You
have made a darned fool of yourself," re-
sponded the fleeing Fifteenth Amendment
joker.

- [1‘ A conscience stricken Railroad “spot-
ter,” or conductor’s dptective, makes a full
confession‘in one bf the New York papers,
of the rascalities adopted to ruip the reputa-
tion of honest conductors of railroads. He
concludes his narrative of the modus oper-
andi of procuring the seeming evidence of
an honest conductor's guilt by saying, "if
the conductor is found to be in fact, dishon-
est, and “ knocking down,” as it is termed,
the detective at once encourages its contin-
uance and participates thereafter in what is
stolen. If he is really honest, he must look
out, for by'means of purchasing tickets on
the train and getting all and not surrender-
ing them, and by exchanging with confede-
rates, they are sure to “brea ” any honest
conductor on whose track they may be set.”
This confession of a detective is only a veri-
fication of the unparalleled wisdom of the
New Haven Railroad managers, who some-
time since, set this same class of sceundrels
to work to “ spot” their conductors, condi-
tioning their pay upon their finding the con-
duoton guilty! Of course, they secured their
compensation, and to do it, victims had to
be found. Marvellous, isn’t'it l

“ WE'l'l‘ING ” Tn: Timon—The time hon-
ored custom of “wetting” a new garment or
vehicle is of course one of the established
customs of the town. This practice was
beautifully illustrated last Summer, when
our mature friend Holmes, of the Main St.
grocery, produced such a stunning sensation
by his unique striped pants, and shad-bel-
lied coat. Last Wednesday morning our
friends, Keeler, Holmes & Co., startled the
town by the introduction ofa new fiery-red,
city built truck. The first impulse of the
boys (put up to it, no doubt, by some jeal-
ohs‘lbcal builder of carts) was to get out the
new steamer and ,‘squirt on it, witha hope
of extinguishing the fiery thing. But before
this could be done, and determined not to
be outdone, especially by anybody in the
grocery line, they managed to back it 08 the
dock, horse and all, in the rear of their
Store! It chanced not to be high tide, and
“ Sandy,” (what should we do without San-
dy 1) was there with the “Foartiaught,” and
soon horse and truck were rescued from
their cold baptism, without material injury
to either. Several of their friends came at
once ,to their aid, for which they desire
us to express their thanks, and so ended the
“wetting" of the new truck.

Norwalk had another narrow escape from
serious disastor by fire, on Saturday night
last. About 9% o’clock a frame building
in the rear of the Connecticut Hotel, used as
a storehouse for storing wood,coal, &c., was
discovered to be on fire. The alarm was
given and the fire department was promptly
on hand. As' almost invariably happens
when a fire occurs near the Bridge, it was
dead low tide, and it seemed almost impos-
sible for the steamer to get water. The en-
gine was taken down on the dock in the
rear of James’ Block, however, and some
twenty feet of suction hose run out, but for
considerable time it failed to throw water-
Iu the meantime the Pioneer Truck boys
worked the pump in the rear of the Hotel,
carried water in their buckets, and finally
pulled bown the burning frame, when the
steamer succeeded in getting on a good
stream of water. At one time it seemed as
if the Hotel and the entire row of wooden
buildings on that side 'of the street, at least,
would be destroyed. The fire is supposed
to have been incendiary.

that it would prove a great public conven-

glad to see that it is now both.

DnATn on War. S. Pompom—We ere
pained to announce the decease of Mr. Pom-
eroy, editor of the Farmer, which occurred
at his residence in Bridgeport, on Friday
evening last. Mr. Pomeroy has for many
years been an invalid, but he has been able
to attend in part, to his professional duties,
and was here at the closing exercises of our
County Fair, having driven over fi'om
Bridgeport in his buggy. He was born in
Hartford in 1809, and went to Bridgeport in
1881. He became connected with the Flu-m-
er in 1882, and has since continued to be its
senior editor. In 1839 and 1850 he was cho-
sen Representative from Bridgeport, and
under Polk and Pierce was Collectori of the
Port of Bridgeport. He has always acted
zealously and consisténtly with the party to
which he was allied, and, although caustic,
and sometimes even rude in his political
utterances, he always bore the character of
a kind-hearted neighbor and exemplary cit-
izen—Peace to his ashes, _
WTho New York Globe l-which by the

years since and we are exceedingly gratified
to learn that its financial success is hence-
forth assured. . Few people have any con.
ceplion of the great labor and pecuniary
cost incident to the establishment ofanews-
paper, and when it is done, it is 'safe to con-
clude that it has been well done. Mr. Chas.
H. Williams, its Editor and Proprietor is an
experienced journalist and the Globe while
it has all the news is conducted with an
ability and quiet dignity so far removed
them the sensational egotism of many of the
New York Journals that it is really refresh-
ing to read its well digested and candid edi-
torials. Success to him and his Globe, for
he has faithfully earned and well deserves
his triumph.

Stop Thief! Stop Thief! 1
Nothing short of a first-class village con-
flagation could equal the intense excitement
produced "by the above startling cries, which
echoed in front of one of our leading dry-
goods marts only a few evenings since. The
story as briefly told by our “ special artist
on the spot," runs as follows:P Those enter-
prising knights Of the yard stick, Messrs.
Van Hoosear & Ambler, had received an in-
voice of more goods than they could get of
the sidewalk before night-fall. The large
boxes were Opeuel and left to encumber the
' walk, as too often occurs, while the clerks
were busy inside. It ‘was at this stage of af.
fans, that a tall, attenuated being, with ner-
vous manner seized a roll ofdress goods and
made of. His suspicious movements had been
watched by our friend Hanford, of the gas
works, who darted after him like a flash Of
his own illuminating fluid. It is even
claimed that so rapid were his strides that
he left a streak of atmosphere, wider than
the sidewalk so densely charged with car-
bureted hydrogen and sulphur, that the fur-
ious crowd rushing behind ’him could not
screech “stop thief,” above a whisper. Han-
ford’s appalling yells had turned the whole
dry goods establishment inside out, and like
an overturned hive of bees, they came fran-
tically tear'ing after the fleeing culprit.
Moreover, the afi'rightencd cry had roused
Main street, and down came “ Poppy.
Holmes," straining every scam in his nice
striped trowsers, and all in a white foam of
perspiration. He was flanked by the adi-
pose Baker and our fattest, expiring Grand
Juryman, who though scamparing like two
huge Muscovy drakes, were no match for
neighbor Holmes in his picturesque gait and
costume. Up from the regions of Gruman’s
store loomed a dark cloud, and behind a
pair of impossible boots, the monstrous,
white, visual organs of “ Sandy,” were ob-
served, rolling in the mu frenzy of the all-
pervading excitement! Thus, confronted,
front and rear, and flanked on every side,
the escaping fugitive slackened his pace,
when Hanford, with one full bound, sprang
forward, seized him by the collar and des-
perately held the struggling victim till rein-
forcements reached him from the store i
Proprietors, jumpers, store-boys and sweep-
er were all in line and bearing down upon
him like a clipper before the wind, but
Peck, the most obese and wheezy of them
all distanced everything; with nostrils dis-'
tended like a war-horse, and eyes fairly pro.
trudiug from their sockets, he sprang with
the bound of a stag, and screaming out with
his spent breath :—"Oh, you villain, you
tho’t you’d git away, did ye i” Suiting the
words to the action, - he then gave the cap-
tured culprit a pull by the ’coat collar that
made every seam snap, and fairly jerked
him ten feet towards the store. Hither the
victorious procession moved with all the
circumstance of a first-class funeral. The
doors were thrown wide open, and in the
gaping crowd‘poured. The gas was turned
on, when lo,—,-all stood aghast! who should
the shop-lilting, highway robber, prove, but
our Village Postmaster I He had attempted
the larceny under the delusion that he could
thus rebuke their want of care. He is en-
tirely satisfied it can’t be done, while Peak
is on guard. The coolest part of the whole
performance is, now that it is over, Hau-
ford pretends he knew it was a joke all the
time. Van says that“ won’t wash.”

v
Lectures.
The second lecture in the Y. M. C. A. reg-
ular course, is to be delivered on Wednesday
evening, at Lockwood’s Hall, by Prof. A. A.
Starr, who will introduce his wonderful mi-
croscope', feed the “ Water Tiger," etc. We
anticipate an exceedingly interesting and in-
structive lecture.
Prof. Gunning gave us a lecture on Geol-
ogy last week, abounding in modingly in-
terestin g and valuable information. The
Professor is profoundly versed in the science
of which he treats, and despite his nervous-
ness of manner and temperament, (which,
on this occasion was particularly tried) in
absolute value, his lectures are far in ad-
vance of anything the Association has yet
given us. He would add much to the attract-
s'osness of his discourses if he could be in-
duced to lay aside all oratorical efi'ort and
embellishment, and in the fewest and plain-
est words possible, go right on with the fund
of scientific information he has to impart-
Even the conversational mode with permis.
sion to question him at the lectures close,
on any point not clear to the hearers’ minds
would improve his present style vastly.
His mode of lecturing was very forcibly
and most acceptibly illustrated in the lac
ture of Col. Vincent Colyer, last winter, and
again by Prof’s. Gilman, Brush and Tro-
bridge, who gave us in this manner, a des-
criptive account of the scope and distinc-
tive features of the Shefiield Scientific School
last week. It was the testimony of every
gentleman who heard them, that as a lec-
ture entertainment, in its simplicity and
novelty, it surpassed in attracfiuneu and
absorbing interest any one of the stereotyp-
ed and formal lectures to which our citizens
had beéu treated. Let us in all kindness,
urge Prof. Gunning to adopt this improved
mode and then to go on and finish his
course, which we are sure he can success-
fully do, and that without being disconcert-
ed himself, or making his audience uncom~
fortable by reason of his sensitiveness over
those little annoyances which are sure to
beset every speaker in any public place.
We think some encouragement could and
should be made, whereby the scholars of
all our schools might have an opportunity
of hearing him. We are informed that the
basement of the 2d M. E. Church would be
tenderedfra for the course, and we are cer-
tain such a course for the children would
be well sustained, and ofexceeding value to
them in awakening a deeper interest in all
the subjects of creation and existence. Will
not the Chiefs of our public schools engi-
neer such a course? _
The Professor’s next lecture, we are re-
quested to state, will be delivered on Fri.
day evening next, in the lecture room of the
2d M. E. Church. ’
Mrs. W. C. Lyman; has been giving a
course of health lectures exclusively to the
ladies, during the past week, which are to
be continued this week. They have been
attended by our best society, and if we “out-
siders" can judge by the enthusiasm and
numbers ef those in attendance, they must
have been exceedingly attractive as well as
instructive. Furthermore, we have the tes-
timony of one who has never deceived us,
and whose judgement we have often, in all
humility, had to confess superior to our own.
that these lectures are as valuable to
afiy wife and mother, as they are interest—
ing. We sincerely wish Mrs. Lyman would
give a public lecture on the necessity of hav-
ing God’s pure air to breathe, that our Hall
and Church builders and managers might
know something of the enormity of their
crime in penning up a crowd of human be-
ings. in a room with every door, window,
and crevice hermetically sealed. How
many hundreds of families and puny, weak
and sickly children are slowly dying all
over the land, for the simple want of pure
air in their homes, and especially in their
sleeping apartments. The Great and All-
Beneficient Creator has surrounded our
globe with a vast ocean of this life-sustain-
element, and yet it does seem that nearly
every Janitor, Sexton, Church Committee,
Hall manager and builder of a house, had
conspired to kill off the race, by infusing
the deadliest poisons into human lungs.
What a testimony to the prevailing popular
ignorance it is, that the two things the Lord
gave us the most of, air and water, we are
the most afraid to use.
The lecture Of Rev. B. B. Snowden, at the
Congregational church in South Norwalk,
on Monday evening last, was largely attend-
ed. It was a lecture of marked interest,
quite above the average Of popular lectures.
The lecturer took his hearers with him to
the Sandwich Islands, ' introduced them to
its people, illustrated the government, socie-
ty, customs, and religion of the Islands by
many pointed examples, and almost repro-
duced to the eyes of his audience in vividly
graphic language, the great Volcano. The
lecture abounded in happy hits and witty
turns, riveting the interest of the hearers for
an hour and a half without weariness. 'We
advise other lecture committees to secure the
hearing Of this admirable lecture.
83‘ Quite a large party of our leading cit-
izens called to pay their respects to Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. K. James, on Tuesday evening
last. Their fine residence was briantly
lighted and presented a very cheerful ap-
pearance. The evening hours sped rapidly
and pleasantly, concluding with a sumptu-
ous repeat provided by the generous host.
The time was agreeably passed in friendly
chattings and in the "examination of the va-
rious relics of the past and articles of oi'rtu,
with which the house abounds. Probably
no private residence in the country posses-
ses so many rare articles of clothing, table
furniture and household equipment-belong-
ing to generations long gone by. Among
the articles of wearing apparel shown, were
garments worn at thereception of President
Washington on the occasion of his first visit
to New York. Table furniture and articles
of china and glass, which were imported
more than a century ago, are in their pos-
session some of them of exceeding rarity.
The garments go to show that the ladies of
fashion of the past, were quite as extrava-
gaut in matters of dress as our modern belles,
while the gentlemen of that era were perfect
fops and reckless spendthrifts in their ward-
robes,comparcdyvith the "Nice young men"
of the present age. It was a cause of much
congratulation to find that the worthy host
and hostes, although their union had been
so long deferred, have finally been crowned
with so many rare and beautiful household
adornments and with so large a share of this
world’s goods, to make their married lives
comfortable and happy.

Firemen’s Parade.
The annual parade and inspection of the
Fire Department took place on Tuesday
afternoon last. A procession was formed
through the principal streets in the follow-
ing order:
Chief-Engineer, Chas. H. Street.
City Band of Bridgeport. (13 piece, H. H.
Blish, Leader.)
Phesnix Engine Company; J. B. Ells, Fore-
man; 22 men; uniform, fire hats, red
shirts, dark pants ; the new steamer
was drawn by four black horses. ./
Phoenix Hose Company, Chas. F. Marvin,
Foreman; 18 men; uniform,—new
light blue caps, red shirts, dark
pants; the handsome car-
riage was decorated
with feathers, doc.
Pioneer Hook & Ladder Company, E. S.
Wilcoxson, Foreman; 82 men ; uni-
form, new dark blue jackets,
dark pants, and new dark
blue caps, with .red
fronts, lettered.
The procession was not very extensive
but presented a very fine appearance every
way creditable to the department. The af-
ternoon was spent in an inspection of the
apparatus, etc.
Starting from their houses in Main street,
the several companies ran down Hoyt st. to
the river, in rear of Prowitt’s building, and
in eight minutes from the start had fired up,
laid the hose for two streams, put up ladders
on N ewcomb’s barn, and were playing one
stream from the ground and another them
the top of the barn. After inspection the
proceedings wound up with a collation in
the Truck House.
WWe give below a condensed report
of Prof. Gunning’s first lecture, which was
crowded out last week :—
m Armour on THE mum's cum.
The speaker pointed out on a painting, a
section of the earth’s crust cut down across
the American continent fiom ocean to ocean,
and explained what we would find in pass-
ing down towards the earth’s center. The
foundation rock we would find to be crys-
talline; it would belong to the granite fam-
ily. He showed then, by taking the granite
apart, that this rock is made up Oflittle cin-
ders. The inference is plain. These rocks
came out of fire-mist. Another inference is
plain, as they are the foundation the whole
world was once a fire-mist. The world was
once a sun;
A COOLING GLOBE.
The history of one globe in cooling would
be repeated in its great outlines in every
cooling globe.
The heavy metals would sink towards
the core. The earth has been weighed as a
ball in a balance. It weighs more than
twice as much as it would Weigh ifit were
all granite to the very core. Some had
thought that this weight was caused by the
more compact form of matter deep down in
the earth. Matter is thrown‘together loose-
ly. All the matter in the tail of a comet
might be carried in our vest pocket. Newton
thought that all the stars in the night heav-
en could be picked out the shell of a nut;
but recent experiments prove that no form
of matter can be compressed beyond a cer-
tain limit. Under great weights of pressure
granite will fly off into vapor.
The weight of the globe is due in large
part to immense stores of heavy metals
about its core. ' The speaker went on to
point out the position of metalic veins and
dikes, and show their origin.
VOLCANOES.
Any cooling globe would be tortured by
volcanoes. From the western coast of
America begins a chain of volcanoes,'which
reaches through the Pacific, over the high-
lands 01 Asia, and through the islands of the
Eastern sea. It is a belt of fire around the
globe. A connection between the volcanic
throats proves that the fire that feeds them
must be deep seated.
THE EARTHQUAKE
too is pillowed on fire. Humboldt’s gene-
ralization will always stand good. It is this:
“Earthquakes and volcanoes result fl-om the
reaction of the internal heat on the surface.”
Humboldt found that the earthquake vibra-
tions rolling westward through South
America were broken off under the Andes.
He inferred—the speaker thought rightly-—
that when the mountain chains were pushed
up, enormous empty spaces were left below
them.
ALL EARTHQUAKES ARE NOT DEEP-scum.
The recent earthquake was described and
explained as a sort of thunderstorm in the
earth’s crust. Its source was under the sur-
face of Ohio. It took the wave halfan hour
to travel from Ohio to the Penobscot. In
such earthquakes there is always a strange
sympathy between the perturbed elements
below and the elements above, and a storm
goes with the quake.
So far the history of one globe is the his-
tory of all globes. Other worlds have moun-
tains and volcanoes. We, infer that all
globes are under the same law. Ifthey are
of the same elements then geology interprets
the universe. Can we know 1’ We can
know the composition of another world on-
ly by its light. We are deeply concerned
then with
LIGHT.
The air is a stir-up of matter atoms infinJ
itely little. The, speaker gave the results of
recent and very beautiful experiments,
which prove that light is revealed only by
atoms of matter that lie in its path, that
“light may shine in the darkness and the
darkness comprehend it not 3” that matter
is held in the air only agitation, and that
throughout the universe wherever there is
no air and no agitation there is darkness.
Around each burning sun is a canopy of air,
and in the bosom of the air an infinitude of
atoms, and the atoms rise and float on storm
waves, and the shafts of light tinge them
and stream on through abysses of space,
void of air, void of atoms, dark as the black-
ness of ink, they dart on and touch and
‘gild the motes that float in zones of air
about a world, and flash God’s truth on hu-
man souls, that through all the realms of
space as through all the realms of being,
agitation is light and life, stagnation is
darkness and death. The light beam tried
by other methods will reveal other truths.
As light is revealed by atoms of matter, so
light in turn can be made to reveal the mat-
ter fi‘omlwhich it comes. The speaker went
on to show how every burning thing pub-
lishes itself by its spectrum or rainbow-
As this part of the lecture was addressed
largely to the eye by experiments and paint-
ings we cannot attempt a sketch. The re-
sults reached were, that in the main, the
same elements found in the earth are in the
sun and the stars.
All things, colored as well as burning tell
what they are by their rainbows. In Eng-
land the speaker met a savantwho was able
to show the rainbows of flowers, and even
blood. The colorings of every flower is a

The American Sunday-School Union ap-
preciates the poet’s prophecy, now realized
in history as Bishop Berkeley did not anti-
cipate. In the abstract of the 45th Annual
Report we find the following:
On .the Pacific Coast, Wm. F. Peters,
superintendent, has a larger area more
sparsely settled and more destitute than
any other field. While in United States at
large. evangelical, church membership is
seventeen per cent. of the population, in Cali-
fornia, and Oregon it is only three and a half
per cent. In California, of 125,000 children
of Sunday-school age, onl 25,000 are in
Sunda -school. There isa o a large for-
eign e ement; of 80,000 Chinese, several
hundred are in Sundayvschool. Our .work
there isjust begun at points scattered Over
the vast field, several of which are on the
Pacific Railroad:; 235 schools, haviu 11,000
scholars, have been organized an aided.
Man report conversions; in one Case a
who a family, father, mother, and five chil-
dren. In one, the superintendent walks
seven miles to Sunday-school, and then elev-
en miles over mountains to an evening
rayer-meeting. Two are managed by
nvalid women; in one several Indians have

been attracted by the singing. Bible classes
have been formed, and the reading of ser-
mons instituted in destitute places. The
missionary force has been increased lately,
but there is an earnest demand for more
laborers and means.
These facts appeals urgently to the patriot
and the Christian, alike in behalf ofa Society
that is both National and (truly) Catholic.

which if her sisters will answer in the light
ofcommon sense, will introduce some most

queries; “ Could on love 0 than who wore

housekeepers and others, t at has fallen under our
observation this fall. is' that of the house of A. T.
Stewart a 00., N. Y. It announces a closmg-out
sale of the stock in all their retail departments, and
at prices which must command attention. The stock
consists of household articles. ladies’ and gentle-
men’s wearing a pare], made and unmade, furs, car-
etings, silks, ve vets, Parisian Novelties, &e.. all of
are latest styles and most laborate finish, It. is an
unusual thing tor this house to thus announce itself,
and as it never misleads the public through the col-
u of the press, we must say the present is a re-
able opportunity to obtain bargains.
