On Saturday it was moving from the
region southeast of the Bahamas to-

seems to be traveling at a slower rate
than its predecessor , of Thursday last.
' On Friday it gave evidence of its ap-‘

. the barometer fell generally. on the
Sonth’Atlantic coast,.but most decided-
ly on the east coast of Florida, where
northerly gales were blowing in the

‘_the”gale had reached ferty-foiir‘-»miles
'per hour-lots P. erSaturday.‘ , -: _~
Though the cyclone has not yet fully
manifested its force, it will probably be
very severe on the South Atlantic coast.
It is now, says the Herald weather fore-
caster, apparently recurving from a
northwesterlyftdia northerly course and
will graduallyfmove slowly to the east
of north over the Gulf Stream and ex-
pand its area of disturbance. While it
is not likely that it'viill' be as violent on
the middle Atlantic coast as the hurri-
cane of Wednesday night, all coastwise‘
, shipping should‘be warned against dan- ‘

and the mainland north of Cape Hat--

and he accompanied him to the house
where the boy said he lived,.bu.t found
that he was mistaken as to his identity

ing to South Norwalk With the boy, he
met another lad who recognized him
and called out “Halloa Oakey.” It
was then learned that “Oakey” was an

had run away while over here With

“ Hubb” Blakeslee’s- Dogs.
Deputy-sheriff Toner, Saturday even-
ing, arrested Hubbard Blakeslee, :on 'a
warrant charging him withkeeping two
unlicensed do s. On vis1ting the place
it was found t at, instead of two dogs,
Blakeslee was harboring at least 51x
canines, two of them females. Blakes-
lee claimed that he had entered into an
agreement, (so a GAZETTE reporter is
informed,) with the Selectmen some
time ago, that his taxes were to be liqui-
dated in lieu of his keeping a section of
the road near his place in repair. This
morning a reporter called at the Select-
men’s office and was informed by Se-
lectman Daskam that this was a fact,
and that the agreement was first made
when ex-SelectmanWheeler was a mem-
ber of the board. Further investiga-
tion in the matter discloses the fact
that no such agreement was ever made
by Mr. Wheeler, in so far anyhow as it
related to the registration _of Mr.
Blakeslee’s canines. It is admitted by
Mr. Daskam that the dogs are not
registered, but in defence of Mr.
Blakeslee, he says that gentleman did
not receive the same notification as did
other owners of unregistered dogs. He
further told the reporter that said
Blakeslee called to see him, (Daskam, )
and he told him that it was all right.
By what authority the Selectmen have
the right to oxcludc one man’s canines
from registration in preference to
another man’s will probably be brought
out at the trial of the case this after-
noon.

He Hit the Nail.
EDITOR GAZETTE :—It strikes me that
G. I. B. hit the nail on the head. As
to continuing to lay the large main all-
the way down to our distributing reser-
voir, it would be folly, as it now re-
quires that size at Grupe’s to fill the 12
inch pipe discharging at the Borough.
If the pressure is double and the. area
of the main 113_1nches,. it will equal 226
inches,which‘ will require pipe 17 inches
in diameter, which _we havn’t got. If
we put our outlet pipe of 16 inches into
the storage reservOIr, which is equal to
201 inches, we shall receive here but
a fraction more .water than at present.
To-siipply a 16 Inch pipe at our Bor-
ough reservmr, we need a pipe at
Grupes’ of not less than 23 inches, 24
being better, as. the supply pipe here
will discharge double the amount of
‘water into the distributing reservoir
that the larger pipe at Grupes’ can sup-
ply as there is four times the pressure
at this end. ' Had we not better con-
sider these simplest facts in hydraulics ?
,To have the main the same sizethrough-
out, would, I fear; require some "hair
valves” or other contrivancc to force
the water down. ,
Let us intelligently consider what is
best to be done, and then promptly act,
under the guidance of some thoroughly
practical and skilled hydraulic engi-
neer. It seems to . me we have had
enough of inexperienced and boys’
play. I hope there is no African in the
fence, and hope none will be sly enough
to again slip in there, as our Borough
tax payers have already been sufliciently‘
punished for our past folly anent our
water works. We ought to have a,
- main feeding dirédt into the Borough"
pipes, without emptying into our Pros-
pect Hill .reservmr at all, to prov1de

tronage are conveyed directly into the

vertise by “means of chalk upon the
while this method has the advantage of
being cheap,_ it does not possess the
quality of ~ being penetrating. In fact,

over is acceptable. Ellis made his first
