Mr, W. H. Marvin, writing June 6, from
Silver Islet, Ontario, (Lake Superior region)
says :—
“I have my overcoat on and feel uncom-
fortable. The air here is the clearest I ever
saw, and the scenery charming. We arrived
here at half past three yestereay morning,
after having Viewed the whole eastern and
northern part of Lake Superior, and all of
Neepigon Bay with its Islands and rivers,
all of which filled me with wonder. The
weather was beautiful, the air clear, and the
moon at its full, and we almost went with-
out sleep in order to see all of Neepigon
and the Islands. We met the steamer 0n-
tario in the St. Mary canal, and the Ameri—
can steamer Empire State from Buffalo for
Duluth, followed as through, We soon
ran into Whiskey Bay and went into Lake
Superior about noon. We soon came in
sight of White Fish Point and got the mirage
of shore and islands which was grand. The
water was still and the weather cold. Nights
are, getting very short, evening twilight
lasting till nearly ten. We reached Mich
ipicotan river about 9.30 p. in. Indians
unloaded us in batteaux, or lighters. We
here met the agent of the Hudson Bay Com-
pany, Mr. Bell. The freight we left was
mostly from Montreal and was to be carried
in canoes and on the backs of Indians to
Hudson Bay. Mr. Bell told us Indians had
come to his station the day we were there
who had never before seen the face of a
white man. The boats belonging to the H.
B. 00., hold about 100 barrels, and are made
for eight long oars. As we entered Neepi-
gon bay we could see the Fluor Islands
belonging to the Silver Islet 00., forty miles
distant. As we approached Red Rock the
scenery was grand in the extreme. St.
genes we could see in the distance. Its
mountains rise perpendicularly from the
water. In. leaving Red Rock we got aground
which detained us two hours. The Indians,
and a very pretty young squaw danced for
us which, made it quite nice for tbe'waiting
passengers. At this place the river is but
a few rods wide and we are only 350 miles
from Hudson Bay. The twilight here is
beautiful lasting until near eleven o’clock,
the sun seting at half past eight. The north

, A case of alleged outrage of a most aggra-

place in Glenbrook, Stamford, a few days
ago—the criminal being a man living at the
Cove and the victim an invalid woman,
eighty-two years of age, living at Glenbrook.
The matter is being investigated by a grand

A Binghamton journal reports a “College
Tree Planting” by the young ladies of the
Binghamton College, from which we extract
the following:
“At precisely nine o‘clock the seventeen
members of the Graduating Class marched
from the front door to the “Place of the Elm. "
They were beautifully attired in riding hab—
its, with light blue class ribbons around their
right arms, bearing “79" in large gold figures.
After an appropriate address by Miss Flor-
ence Thompson, of South Norwalk, Ccnn ,
the class proceeded with the calmness of
philosophers, and the‘ dignity of profession-
als to plant the graceful elm, the gift of Dr.
Orton. Each graduate put her spadeful of
earth upon the roots of the tree, and then
handed the spade to the next comer. When
the planting was done a broad blue ribbon
with the name and year of the class, in large
and conspicuous gold letters, was tied grace-
fully to a lower limb or branch of the tree,by
one of the graduates. A poem apostrophe
to the planted elm, was a graceful produc-
tion, delivered with force and enthusiasm.
The ceremony concluded by singing the class
song in beautiful variety of parts and voices,
and the graduates adjourned until Class Day,
which will be Monday, J une 23d.”
The Miss Thompson referred to above is
the daughter of A. Thompson, Esq, of Flax
Hill, cashier of the Fifth National Bank of
New York City. The President of the Col-
lege, Rev. B. A. Patterson, was also formerly
aresident of our town, we think, being at
one time the pastor of the South Norwalk
Baptist Tabernacle Church.

THE “Enunxa”—Tua anr Mownn IN
THE Wanna—The advantages .of Wilber’s
Direct Draft Eureka Mower can be appreci-
ated at a glance by a practical farmer, and
especially by one who has never out his
crops with any but the old-time side draft
machines. The superiority of a direct draft
over the side draft should be so obvious as
not to demand , any explanation. Even a
tryo must understand that the former r'e-
quires less force or power, while its execu-
tion is finer and quicker. The direct draft
can be worked in any direction with almost
the ease and precision of ahand lawn mower.
It makes no skips, cuts every blade, leaves
a clean field ready for the rake, and not
only this but leaves the grass standing in a
far better position for good and rapid curing.
The lightness of this mower is another
point in its favor. The cumbersome ma-
chinery necessary in the side draft is done
away with here, and it saves time, money
and horse flesh. fl‘he difference in case of
handling is mor - han fifty per cent. in
favor of the direct draft mower. The Wil-
ber Eureka is the lightest, and cheapest
mower offered in the worfis markets of to-
day. It will average one- ird less in draft
than the entire field of side machines, and
as its work is the best and most quickly
done, at the least cost, we do not see what
else the most exacting agriculturist can de-
mand. These machines are made b the

Celebrated
Safes,
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made.
lst.
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut above)
where they are at all times accessible, and
can be cleaned and kept ,in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly locking you.-
‘qnt. In all other Safes the bolts are placed.
next the outside plate of iron, being covered.
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possle to_011 or clean them without digging
out the filing, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several days. As
the filling in our Safes is between the locks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them - open.
2d. Our "PATENT HINGED CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a thumb-screwnvhich
- enables onetohave access to the locks and.
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d. While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their fire-proof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Looxs on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
simplicity and durability cannot be excelled.
' 4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED INSIDE,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the greatest amount of
water in our filling without danger of the
Safe’s being damp. All corners of the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
With the very hard nature of our filling, pre ~
vents them from injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
FLANGES instead of single or double as in
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and the great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that; were successful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist us in dem-
onstrating to the world the superiority of our
, Safes, and our «claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
proved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense heat, we believed that. we could im-
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls
added to the number of flanges, and strength:
cried them in various ways? until we now
and unequalled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim to make the BEST SAFE that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep that which may
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes and'
recommend that which can be sold the c’heap-
eat, without regard to quality, and many
outside, but are worthless to reserve ll '
contents from fire. We make ant one 215::
