Another Saturday night fire occurred last
week—probably incendiary. This time it
was in a barn belonging to Rev. C. M. Sc?-
leck, on his estate Down Town formerly
known as the Chas. B. White place. It
broke out about 10% at night, and the barn
filled with hay, was entirely consumed. The
fire department turned out, but the steamer
could obtain no water and was therefore ut-
terly useless. The Hook dc Ladder Co. tore
down the burning frame, but could save noth-
ing. Phoenix Engine» Co. finally returned
their steamer to the House, took the hand en-
gine and played onthe burningpile from a
cistern close to Mr. Selleck’s residence. The
origin of the fire is unknown, but is general-
ly supposed to have been incendiary. If set
on fire it must have been by some person
having a mania for eonflagrations, for we
do not suppose that Mr. Selleck has an (311(-
my in the world, and therefore do not be-
lieve it to have been the work of any mali-
cious person. .
Mr. Selleck had $800 insurance on his barn
and $200 on buy.

morn-ing, the small one-and-a-hnlf story
frame building on the corner of the Fort
Point road and Osborn avenue, occupied by
Mr. C. J. Dann as a shoe stOre, was discov-
ered to be on fire. The neighbors promptly
rallied, but were unable to do anything,
owing to the scarcity of water. Mr. Dann
was absent, wounderstand, having gone on
Saturday evening to Ridgefleld to spend
Sunday. It is supposed by those who were
first at the fire, that the shop must first have
been robbed and then set on fire, as one of
the doors was found standing . wide opei:.

ADMIRAL-RODGERS has had anotherfight
with the Coreans, ,the date not given, but
presumed to be June 9. The Corcans were
6,000 strong, and fought with great despera-
tion, but the Americans stormed the forts,
and after killing the commander-in-chief
and badly wounding the next in rank, the
latter with a large number of'his men were
captured. The loss to the enemy was heavy,
but on our side quite small. Lieut. McKee
Was killed as he entered the entrenchments.
Admiral Rodgers occupied the forts, and
dismantled them on retiring. . The authori—
ties refused to hold any intercourse with
the Admiral or Minister Low, as in reply to
a note as to what should be done with the
prisoners, the Admiral was'told he could do
what be pleased. They were released, and
Mr. Low sent a formal protest that his mis-
sion was peaceful and the assault only in
retaliation for the attack on the fleet. The
squadron, has returned to Shanghai and

No headway appears to have been made

The Rev. Mr. Ash, the chaplain of the

of‘a population of 180,000 about two-thirds
fled and about 20,000 perished, the mortali-
ty ranging from 400 to 600 per diem—more
than 1 percent of the inhabitants. The city
is said to have been reeking with filth,
“steaming likea dung-hill whenever a hot
sun came after a rain.” The River Platte
was so poisoned that the fish died in it, yet
this water was what the inhabitants had to
drink. There were no drainage facilities,
and what wells there were in the city ,werc
utterly unfit for use. On the mm of April
there were 540 interments. On the 16th
the pestilence began visibly to decline ; but
it will require years to repair the ravages
of the epidemic.

[113‘ One of the prettiest pictures Of New-
port life may be seen every evening at the
Ocean House. In groups the guests drop
slowly out from the large dining room into
the capacious hall, that runs the whole
length of this immense house. They settle
down into chairs in knots of three or four,
or walk 'slowly up and down talking and
laughing merrily, comparing notes Of the
days proceedings, and laying plans for
some merry-making in the days to come.
The lights flash full through the hall, serv-
ing to display the beauties of face, figurc‘aud
costume, softening defects and heightening
beauty; there is a rustle and shecnof silken.
draperies, the shimmer of satin, the soft
fleceiness of dainty mnslins and laces, a
sparkle of jewels, a rustle of pretty fans,
weapons of Cupid’s warfare, wielded by
delicate white hands, a murmur of voices,
and bursts of gay, girlish laughter. The
musicians gather in their places, there is
tuning Of violins and altos, a few notes of
preparation, and they dash recklessly into
the wildest and most fascinating of waltzes.

THAT an BUG.——The frequency of in-
cendiary fires in Norwalk lately has become
startling, and calls for special effort to dis-
cover the author or authors. There is evi-
dently some person in town having a strong
passion for this kind of work, for there
seems no reason for supposing that any of
the fires which have occurred have been
the work of persons inspired by malice, and
the frequency of, the fires and their almost
invariably occurring Saturday nights, pre—
cludes the idea of their all being accidental.
Again, they have nearly all been on the
east, side of the river. We should not be,
surprised to learn that they were all started
by one person.
A petition has been in circulation calling
upon the Court of Burgesses to hold a Court

W Mr. Paxson’s error as to the date of
rotary presses maybe excused when we con-
sider that it is yet a disputed question who
has the honor of type printing, by any means.
In modern times the N apiere was undoubt-
edly the first rotary machine. This was
made in Prussia, and the first knowledge
we have of it, it was in use in the London
Times office, and Mr. Newton was sent out
by Messrs. Smith do Hoe and obtained a
situation in the press room of this office and
got the plan of this press, and then absentcd
himself. Gales d5 Sealon imported one of
those presses not far from 1825. Smith &
Hoe made improvements in this press, and
they claimed the fly for taking off the sheet-
But Mr. Craighead was undoubtedly the
first inventor of that improvement. I saw
it in use in a. small shop in Beekman street,
long before they adopted it. My first at-
tempt was madc here about‘ 1825, with a
model that demonstrated that~paper could
be used in a continuous sheet, which was
and still is a necessity for the‘fastest and
most perfect work. I made a large machine
in 1832,wln'ch I took to Messrs. Smith 85
Hoe to get some work that could not be done
here, and here they had the opportunity to-
borrow my ideas. This was a wooden ma-
chine, and did decentwork; but it was con-
sidered best to have one of iron, which was
perfected in 1833, and was burned down in
the great Ann street; fire of 1834. Messrs.
Hoes machines have been varied ’from time
to time. The introduction of moveable type
upon a'segmeut of the main cylinder, made
upon a move-able shell they dcnominate “the
turtle,” was the first successful use of move-
able type on a rotary cylinder. But the use
of elastic matrixes for stereotype plates was
an Important movement—these matrixes
being bent to the curve of the type cylinder.
These matrixes were first made of papier
macho, but are now made of ordinary paper
hardened by a paste that resists the action
of the wetled type metal. But priority is of
small consequence. My machine was in-
vented to fill the world with good books,

(E? It will be remembered that at the
session of the New York East Methodist
Episcopal Conference, held at Stamford in
the spring, action was taken regarding a
new Methodist Conference Seminary to be
located at that place. Several of the
wealthy members of that deuOmination pro-
posed to contribute liberally toward the ac-
complishment of the object. and the preach-
ers at that session of the Conference also
made a noble subscription for carrying Out
'the enterprise. Among the largest con-
tributors were Mr. H. D. Rolpb, Oliver Hoyt,
Esq, and others. A short time since Mr.
Rolph, of his own motion, proposed to the
Conference committee having the project in
charge to modify and argely increase his
gift. He Offers tofurnis valuable grounds
located on the brow of the hill adjoining his
own residence, at Stamford, which offer the
committee readily accepted. These rounds
are said to be worth not less than 50,000.
In addition, he gives ground for a new
church for the seminary, and builds and fur-
nishes the edifice upon it. The cost of this,
with the site, is estimated at $40,000, mak-
ing the whole gift of Mr. Rolph not less than
$90,000. The Conference committee have
engaged the services of the Rev. F. S. De
Hass as agent, and about the lat of Septem-
ber he will enter upon the work of “putting
the cntcrprize through” to completion as
rapidly as possible. The friends of the
movement in- Stamford promise to do gen-
erously, and throughout the whole. Confer-.
ence it is expected the work will be taken
hold of at once, and aided in good earnest.

The Windham County Transcript says Mr.
Alexander, the owner ofa large brick mill
in Danielsonville, states that he has found
the “probabilities” so reliable that he has re-
cently invariably followed the advice there
given about the weather, and has not been
misled in a single instance. If the prophecy
says there is a probability ofcloudy weather,
his brick are not pat where the rain will
touch them. If fair weather is predicted out
goes the clay. Science is doing wonderful
things in this age, andyamong them are few
more useful than these daily weather pro-
phecics.
Some five thousand people flirticipated
on Thursday in dedicating the site pf the
proposed monument In memory of Captain
Miles Standish, in Duxbury, Mass. The
monument is to be erected on the highest
point of “Captain’s Hill,” on land given for
the purpose by Stephen ‘M. Allen,'the pres-

The sun finally rose but was a long time
in piercing through the dense cloud of cold
mist. Driving up a high hill we once rose
above the mist, and upon looking back he-
held. a beautiful .scene; as-far as the. eye
could reach there was to all appearance a
sea studded with evergreen-covered islands,
presenting a charming picture, which van-
ished as we again plunged into the mist. .
At another time we behel'l _a bow distinctly
arched above'us like a rainbow,but without
color. ' " - '
After riding about fifteen miles, we drew.
up, soon after 7 o’clock, at a large house by
the roadside,—a combination of farmrhouse,
wayside inn and ,post office—built in a
small “ clearing,” for the “ entertainment of
man and beast”, Here we stopped for break-
fast, and to change horses. All visions the
passengers may have had of blazing wood
fires on the hearth a'nd-a good warm break-
fast were soon dissipated. The place scem~
ed to be conducted ,on the old fogy principle
of giving passengers as little for their money
as pt ssible, probably believing they would
never come that way again. ‘We found
wood onthe hearthall ready to light, but
mine host “guessed .we wouldn’t need a
fire.” Breakfast was not ready, although
the stage was expected just at that time, and
always,-in summer, had just about the same
”number of passengers. The landlord simply
waited to count noses and guagc capacities,
as he'said he “. didn’t know how many there
might be.” Personally we did not expect
much, did not want much,but what little,
we did desire we paid our fifty cents for and
went without. We “ tried, to get an egg at
least half boiled, but after the third attempt
the ‘.‘- pretty waiter gir, ,” laughed and said
thefire‘ was all-out. ‘That'imfivj‘as‘the'only
place we found in Maine where wood-was
scarce—wood, wood, all around us for a
thousand miles, and not a stick to burn. 'It is
worth more here in the raw state than it is at
Bangor after going through the» mill, which
recalls to mind a pun. , As we were getting
on the cars at that place, a brakeman called
Out-f all aboard,” when a passenger told"
him that it was “ easy enough to get 5"
board in that city." - = » . - '
Resuming our seats we started off again,
and rode for three hours more when we
stopped tochan'ge horses. , Thisstretoh was
.thc most comfortable one of the day., The
sun drove away the mist and thawed us out,
but soon went to the other extreme, forcing
us to make Cushions of our overcoats and
to stuff wet handkerchiefs into our hats.
The road was in good condition almost all
the way, but an occasional piece of “ cor-
duroy” taxed our patience and powers o‘fbal-
ancing to the utmost. This was plainly the
“stage road,” for during the entire day we
met; but one or two wagons and the stage
long time Mount Katahdiu, towering over
5,000 feet above the level of the sea, was
distinctly visible, though distant about sixty
miles to the north. Its dome-shaped top re-
sembles the bump on the back of a camel.
There are no villages of account along the
line of the road; occasionally there would
be ' a small clearing on each side, with the
land under cultivation, but there is no farm-
ing country worth mentioning until reaching
the eastern half of the route, and then
nothing worth boasting about. The crops
were generally very fair, but hay was thin
and scarce. In many places the gun by
the roadside, growing in strips from one to
three feet wide, had been cut. ‘The season
is several weeks behind our own.
The’ general appearance of the country is
about the same the entire distance, and the
scenery grows monotonous and uninterest-
ing, and the ride tedious and tiresome in the
extreme. On each side of the road as far as
the eye can reach, there is nothing but a
dense forest—forest to the right of us, forest
to the left. of us, forest to the front of us,
and forest to the rear of us, and nothing but
forest. The trees are principally pine, hem-
lock, spruce and birch, of not. very large
growth, but so thick together as to make the
the trees are bearded with a long, fringe like
moss, and the difi'ercnt shades of green, with
the glistening white of the birch, make a
pleasing sight to the eye.
The driver had been on the route, boy
and man, for fourteen years, and says that
ten years, ago deer, wolves and bears were
quite frequently seen,but 'are now but sel-
dom met with. A passenger said that he
was once chased by wolves on that road.
Even in this out-of—the-way section where
houses are few and far between, Uncle Sam
travels over the road daily, caring for the
wants of the dear people. Every few miles
the driver stops at a house or “ Variety
Store,” (lumps a mail bag on the counter,
and the post office Officialsé-often females——
select what they please; .
As we approached the end of the day’s
journey the clearings became larger and
larger,'and finally developed into something
like a fair agricultural country, and in some
places mowing machines were used to good
advantage. Soon after four o’clock we at
rived at Houlton, tired and sore, and heart-
ily glad “ to get out of the wilderness.”
Some of the inside passengers, however, im-
mediately started in another stage for Wood-
- stock, N. 13., some twenty miles further on.
We have always been very fond of the
woods, but‘we had had, quite enough for one
day. If the ride could have been made in
two or three days, and in a comfortable ve-
hicle, we should have enjoved-‘it much more,
but as it was it was too much jolting crowd-
ed into one day. ’ ' ’

Sal-Mona Springs.
Every year the multitude who from cus-
tom and fashion, or an earnest desire to se-
cure' the benefits resulting from the healing
waters and the dry and bracing air of this
most popular watering place, increases so
that the hotels, which are said to be the
largest and most extensive in the world, are
full—the Union alone entertaining to-day
seventeen hundred and three guests, the
Congress probably as many more, and a.-
number proportionate to their capacity at
the forty-three large hotels, with a majority
of the principal houses receiving guests
during the season. :
The mineral springs of Saratoga are truly
wonderful in their cathartic, tonic and al-
terative efl’ects, and are justly classed among
the most celebrated’in the world. Prof. J.
W. Draper, the eminent physiologist, says:
“ They restore suppressed and correct vitia-
-ted secretions, and so renovate health, and
also introduce many medicines in a state of
minute subdivision in which they exert a
powerful alterative and curative action.”
The springs are found in . the crescent
shaped valley winding through the centre
of the town. The' Empire, Congress, Star,
Hathorn, High Rock and Geyser are per-
haps the most frequented.
The High Rock is the oldest discovered
spring, and is said to have been the red-
man’s “great medicine spring” for centuries.
Sir William Johnson was taken to it by the
'Indians in 1767. The rock from which the
water bubbles is regarded with curiosity,
and gives evidence of having been thousands
of years in its forming state. The“ Empire,
Congress, Hathorn, High Rock and Star are
extensively drank as a cathartic. I should
judge that from three to six tumblers serve
as a dose for the majority of visitors before
breakfast,_ while many are able to drink
more'during the day.
The Columbian Spring is an Ron-water,
and has very strong- tonic properties, one
glass being sufficient fora dose with the ma-
jority of patients.
The Sulphur Spring is reprepented as be:
ing "unsurpassed by any, while a large bath-
ing house furnishes excellent facilities for
warm and cold bulbs.
The new Geyser or spouting spring, a mile
below the town, was discovered in February,
1870. After boring to the depth of one hun-
dred and forty feet the water burst forth and
has continued to spout to the height of
twenty-five feet. The water is highly im-
pregnated with medicinal substances, and
foams like soda water when it is drawn.
The Hamilton Spring has most of the in-
gredients of the other springs,but owing to
some peculiar combinations has been found
to be of great service in kidney complaints.
Many 'most. remarkable cures of long
standing chronic complaints have been‘nar-
rated to us by those who have witnessed the
cures, and it seems desirable that the heal-
ing qualities of the springs should be known
to all, especially to those who have suffered
from diseases which these potent remedies
could, perhaps, in a few weeks, so easily
relieve.
But it would require a long article to de-
scribe in any adequate manner the wonders
of these springs—the beautiful walks and
drives, the gay and brilliant equipages, and
the life and joy of the thousands who throng
the avenues of this great resort. COM.
Northern New England.
BRAT’I‘LEBORO Vt. Aug. 4th 1861.
Not the whole of it, my dear Gazette, I
speak only for our own vicinity, right here
where Northern Mass. joins Southern N. H.
and Vt. Our grand Green Mountain scene-
ry is now in its summer glory. The hay
crop is light, and as for fruit, this season‘s
share grew mostly last year , but when you
touch any of the upper strata Of themes you
find better promise. If it be social good mil;
the people are at peace. The man who bears
a warm heart under his waistbauds rarely
fails'to find others so like it they might be
brothers. Jams and ideas, different as men’s
names, and various as their faces, divide
them, but do not: make them foes. ' '
If we love Temperance—and of course we
do—hcre are the dpenmeetings Of the Good
Samaritans, and their rousing talks from the
rostrum. Every Sabbath evening 'nearly
1000 Brattleboreans meet in our large Town
Hall—usually all the churches are repre-
sented—Often the pastors are there, for it is
pledges herc,run up into the second thou-
sand.
But above them all coufessedly,—as the
cosmical ether broods our air—the upper
stratum of the world of thought and feeling,
is the Christian. Religion. This is the dis-
tinctive characteristic; the histO'ic glory of
New England.
I feel half inclined to emphasize “historic”
here, too. Just see the grand old churches:
great beacons of the past,with the fires gone
out I Yonder is one at R , capaci'ous
as a 1‘". Y. Theater ! why the people used to
all go to church; but closed and silent now.
Closed, the people are dead—Silent, the dear
old pastor. sleeps beneath that marble. As'I
approached it from an opposite hill and saw
its huge proportions loom up among the
tombstones, I could not but think “this pre-
cious old hive of memories and the fathers
has just exchanged places with its congrega-
tion. Once they sat within its walls. rest-
ing in faith from the week’s toil; now they
rest in hope without. As we rather affect
those places where salaries and Sundays and
Saints have been at discount, if only there
are plenty of sinners. You will easily see
these deserted sanctums have marked attrac‘
tions. We scent them from afar. *
Three or four, already, are rcverbrating
amcu with rcawakening song; that began
with the children. The old folks have caught
it. The preacher and Sabbath have return-
ed. Now, we say, you parents, look out
next time. Teach those little people not only
the forms and “24thlys” of Zion; but the
word, the life, the love, the spirit—all the
beauty of Holiness.
Now we are ready to pass on. These are
off hands—in better hands now. “’6 will
push out and find ' others. Last Tuesday
evening we spent in one of the reopened
churc n a spur of the Green Mountains,
It was a loca 'n which forms of unbelief
'werc believed to he usually strong, civil
even cordial they were,to the guest. Though t-
ful enough, on most topics, they had inbibcd
a peculiar dislike to certain phrases and
usages which to them, embodied “orthodoxy,”
Yet, when but the hand of love and the man-
ner of a friend invested in the same verifies,
they received them kindly. For some weeks
past a steady growth of interest has appear-
ed bothby the attendance and attention.
But it was most no'ticeable on the night
above named. It was hay harvest where
hay is the staple, the first good day for a
week—night short, workers weary—yet all
were there! The house of God was filled.
And such attention; only the spirits pres-
ence creates just that stillness.
I tell you away down in my heart I just
kept saying Hallelujah; through the inter-
vals in that prayer meeting, eight had arisen,
many. werein tears. ,
Therejust above them, there is W ‘ .A'
chm‘ch in the south part of which, has long
been silent; though the only one of any
name, for some miles round. That too is
being reopened for the children: and so the
parents come also. Last Sabbath was our
first Sunday school, A class Of old men
came forward, chose them a teacher, and be-
gan anew the Book of Books. '
Ah, my dear Gazette there’s some of the
cream of creation I whether 'yOu talk of
mountains, trees, or men, away out in the
grand rural fastncsses of New England: It
hath the Savor of a field which the Lord hath
blessed, and I love it, with all my. western
born faculties and affections. I love it. You
know I ought to love your own city and cer-
tain villages you could help me name, for
the people that dwell there; but I love the
very hills, and mountain springs; and the
pure air. Above all, I honor the record and
radiations of New England’s faith in God.
