' Probably the first entertainment to be given in the Opera House next season will be a minstrcl performance by talent from Co. F. The boys have so decided and al— ready plans for the affair are taking shape. It is asserted that the paralytic stroke suffered by the late “Tony” Canticld was due in a great measure to the fact of his being constantly in the atmosphere charged with electricity from the power— f ul dynamos at the electric light station. New York is talking about placing a statue of Horace Greeley in Central Park, and there are even symptoms of reviving the Grant monument project. New York has a spell of this sort of thing every now and then, but it never amounts to any- thing. Warden Coolidge, the Court of Bur- gesses and Engineer Wood, went to the upper reservoir on Thursday to inspect the dam, which they found leaking 'in several places. It was decided to engage an expert engineer to make a thorough examination at once.

Heuryl'Cabot Lodge, _of Massachusetts is spoken of as the probable appointee as minister to Russia, in place of the late Allen Thorndykc Rice. Mr. Lodge in personal appearance so closely resembles Mr. Rice that the newspapers are using their old Rice cuts as his portrait. The Plunkctt comedy company occupy the Opera House three nights this week and give a Saturday matinee. As our people have been without dramatic amusement for some weeks, they will probably appreciate this last opportunity to witness standard productions before the season closes. Cards are out announcing the intended marriage of Mr. Charles Lee Rockwell of Mcridcn, and Miss Mary Louise, daughter of the Rev. Charles Hall Everest, of Nor- walk, at the First Congregational church, Norwalk, on the evening of J une 19. Fol- lowing the ceremony will :bc a reception at the mansion of Col. F. St. John Lock- wood. Georgia holds a convention this week to devise ‘i‘nethods of improving the roads of the state. The’ keen appreciation shown by Georgia of one of the greatest material needs of the whole south, and the organ- izcd effort to accomplish a reform in this respect indicate that the state intends to keep well to the front in the march of southern progress. Deacon John Taylor spent Sunday with his colored brethren at their meeting in Greenwich, certainly much to their edifi— cation and profit, for Brother Taylor always delights to do good. No one has made, a more forcible address or presented more unanswerabie arguments on the sub- ject of temperance in the rooms of the Union Gospel Temperance Reform Rooms than Deacon Taylor. Governor Bulkelcy’s appointment of ex Congressman Seymour as the successor of Judge Beardsley on the supreme bench of Connecticut is universally commended. Mr. Seymour is fifty-seven years of age, and was twice elected to Congress, serv— ing from 1883 to 1887. In politics he is a tariff reform Democrat, but all parties concede his great ability as a lawyer and fitness for judicial honors. The project to establish ice water foun- tains where the passer-by can obtain a glass of water—and no more—by deposit- ing a cent on the drop-a-nickel-in-the-slot principle is an excellent one. There is no doubt that it will be profitable, while it will ban boon to thirsty humanity and will solve the long-puzzling problem of providing for the ucedya refreshing drink without having it wasted by the careless or mischievous. Col. Stevenson. on behalf of the House- tonic road, has presented the Catholics of the new parish in North Bridgeport, with all the stone needed for the foundation of their _new church, from the railroad quarries. When the foundation is built, the liberal Colonel will probably tranSport and place upon it tho railroad’s recently purchased church in South Norwalk. When that is done—well, the Colonel is priestly enough in appearance, and cer- tainly competent, to supply the pulpit.— ‘ Record . There has been in South Norwalk a very earnest and thorough examination of the records of the Board of Councilmen for the first ten years, and it is feared by those who would gain the information, and who are very much interested, that many records and reports of committees cannot be found. It may be like one of the clerks of the school district—The clerk was “waiting for the reports to be printed, so he could paste them in.” A South Norwalk correspondent writes: “Many patrons of the ball game were pained to see the members and manager of the Norwalk Club embark on the cars last Sunday, to spend the day in playing ball, and they resolved for that reason to withdraw their patronage. They were of the very few who have not yet learned that professional ball players have little regard for the saneity of the Sabbath." Tthohnstown flood is beyond question one of; the greatest in the world’s history. A graphic, accurate and. profusely illus- trated history of it will be eagerly sought for by the reading public. We are glad to announce that such a work is being prepared :by W. Fetchcr Johnson, Esq, and will be sold by canvasscrs through the well known publishing house of S. S. Scranton & 00., Hartford, Conn. The universal interest in this subject insures a large sale; any person wanting employ- ment and quick cash returns, should apply to the publishers at once. Anthony B. Canticld, late engineer at the electric light station, who was stricken down with paralysis about a month ago, died at his residence on Elm street on Monday morning in the 57th year of his age. Deceased was a veteran of the, war of the rebellion and a member of Robert A. Tyler Post, G. A. 11., of Hartford. He leaves a wife and two children, a daughter Mrs. W. H. Lacy of Brooklyn, and Mr. Jesse H. Cauficld of Hartford. The fu~ neral will take place this afternoon. St. Jolm’s Lodge, F. and A. M. of which deceased was a member, will ofllciatc at the burial. In a list of" seventy-two millionaires whose aggregate wealth is equal to the national debt, appears the name of J. H. Wade, estimated to be worth $5,000,000. J. H. Wade is a popular newspaper man of this town. Although we. never before knew he was so enormously wealthy, we have always had the highest regard for him as a journalist and a gentleman and we have never' said anything derogatory to his character or accomplishments. If we have, we here and uow,hcrebyand hereon beg to take it back, as we consider him the prince of good fellows, and we rejoice to clasp his honest hand. .. - m ~-..m.-n The marriage of Miss Emma A. Burr, daughter of err—Selectman Chas. A. Burr, to Mr. Edward J. Simons of South Nor- walk, was solemuized in the Baptist church on Wendesday evening, the Rev. Dr.. McGonegal tying the nuptial knot. The ushers were Edward Chasmar, J. E. Slater, E. L. Brush and W. B. Wardwcll. There was a superb display of presents. After a short bridal tour the young couple will take up their residence in South Norwalk. Just like a man. Novembor26,1804, Mrs. Hodges, of St. Louis, mailed a letter to her husband, who was with Sherman’s army. On reaching his regiment the letter was given to Captain Bixby, to be delivered to Mr. Hodges. The captain naturally put it in his pocket. Two weeks ago he found it in the same pocket of the same coat, yellow and dingy with twenty—five years’ incarceration, but otherwise all right. He immediately mailed it, and Mr. Hodges received it in St. Louis, the city fromwhich it originally started. The news was a little old, but the family enjoyed reading it. Though Gov. Bulkelcy’s veto of the ballot reform bill passed by the Common— cut Legislature is not likely seriously to delay the initiation of the reform in that state, it is greatly to be regretted that he should. throw any obstacle in the way of a measure that promised to accomplish great good. We do not, of course, be— lieve that the evils which the governor foresees will follow the practical opera- ation of the law; and it was hardly to be expected that a measure could be enacted so perfect in all its details that amend- ments would not be required. The con—- tention that Connecticut should wait and witness the operation of the laws passed by other states is not sound, since the same principle, applied elsewhere would have prevented the enactment of any bal— lot—reform measures—New York Tribune. COolidge dc Lockwood have sold a Ruby of Cranberry Plains, who will build a house thereon for his own occupancy, also a carriage shop. The same firm have hold two lots on School street to Daniel Shechan. They went on Monday to Greenwich and took possession, for the Mutual Life Insurance company, of New York, of the valuable property known as Holly farm, built by Ed. Holly for a sum- mer hotel. They have charge of all the real estate controlled by the Mutual Life Insurance company, in Connecticut. Rev. 11. A. Delano of South Norwalk at the Prohibitionist meceting in Hartford Thursday made a rather lively and some- what characteristic speech in which he said he did not believe in the newspapers, but he did believe in the people, but the statement was a little sweeping, and would hear modification, on a division of the sen- timcnt expressed. The newspapers are not always right : neither are the people, in the sense used by the Norwalk person, as he may find out in October. Yet, there are newspapers that try to be conscien- tious, irrespective of the people, and there are people, too, who tryto be right and do right, irrespective of the newspapers, and the lively clergyman should have drawn that discrimination at least, to be just all round—Mormon Republican. From the Republican :—- Norwalk has many men who depend upon hard working wives for their support.— If there is one thing more than another upon which women should vote it is the license question.

The schooner'William Fisher, 63 tons, commanded by‘Captain Latham, has been missing for several months, and it is . feared that she may have gone down with all hands. For a number of years past she has been engaged in fishing in south— ern waters with the coast of Florida as her objective point. On the 28th of March last the vessel left Savannah to procure a load of fish with which to return to New York and thence home. The ves- sci was sighted some days afterwards off Cape Hatteras on her way home, but since that time no tidings have been received of her. She was due in Stonington on May 1. Other vessels from the same locality have arrived and they report encounter- ing severe hurricanes. The friends of Captain Latham, however, knowing his ability as a seaman have continued to hope against hope that he would turn up all right, but now that the vessel is over a month overduethey have given up all hope and believe that both vessel and crew are lost. The Fisher carried a crew of twelve men among whom were Fred Fish of Mystic, Gilbert Comstock of New London, and Charles Latham of Gales Ferry. The Gazar'ra has no office cut but it has better. It has a parrot. A knowing bird is Polly, with soft green plumage, a nose like a pack peddler and a command of language that would put an auctioneer to the blush. Polly is a bird of high moralcharactcr, but, his education, having been attained within earshot of the com posing room, his arguments at times are not such as would be quoted by Col. Elliot F. Shepard the religious New York editor, as an encouraging illustration of his pet hobby that newspaper attaches are all becoming christinns. When a compos- itor gets hold of a particularly indecipher- able “take” of manuscript, and begins to show signs of a wearied patience, Polly comes to the rescue and pours forth a torrent of the most appalling adjectives and expietivcs, in a high key and an ex- cited tone of voice, which he keeps up until the plaguey piece of copy is all in type. Whenever a certain minister enters the sanctum Polly at once becomes dc— murc and solemn and at intervals breaks out with an Amen, or a Hallelujah! To enumerate all of Polly’s numerous virtues, vices and accomplishments would be to fill a column. He’s the knowingcst, wittiest, wisest Polly ,,that ever wanted a cracker. ' A New Milford diSpatch says: “News reached here today of an extraordinary occurrence which took place a few days ago in the mountainous charcoal region of the town of Salisbury, near Falls Village, in this state. On the mountain four miles from the village is an encampment- of charcoal burners. Thursday of last week a little child of one of the colliers, aged 3 years. wandered from home and no trace of its whereabouts could be found. When the heavy storm of Friday and Saturday set in it was feared that the little one would perish from exposure. The ex- citement became intense and a searching party was organized comprising 100 men, who scoured the woods and mountains for miles around all day Thursday and Fri- day, end it was not until 2 o’clock Satur— day afternoon that the searchers wcre re - warded and the ehild‘was found, a con- siderable distance from home, in a secluded spot on the mountain side. The wee thing was without either stockings, shoes, or hat, and had been out in the woods for three days and two nights, crawling hither and thither without any protection“ from the pitilcss storm , which raged almost incessantly during the whole time. Strange to say, the child was apparently unharmed and did not appear to be much the worse for its thrilling and hazardous adventure. During the search for the lost one a number of the men became lost on the mountain themselves, and it was some "time before all the men were accounted for by roll call. The men then arranged themselves in line and so great was the desire to see the tough little bit of human- ity that had withstood so many hardships that "the child was wrapped in a blanket and passed along the line for inspection.” building ‘lot on cross street to Samuel ' Considerable surprise is manifested by sundry northern newspapers at the estab- lishment of a Grand Army post in Charles- ton,‘:S. 0., and yet there is nothing wonderful in it. Even as long as twenty- five years ago there were enough union soldiers in Charleston to have established several posts. They had a hard time get— ting thero, but they got there all the same. In New York Friday, Charles A. T. Rodnari sued the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad company for damages for the loss of his wife, who was killed by an express train at Mamaroneck station October 8, 1888, while she was crossing the track. before Justice Barnard and a jury in the Supreme court at White Plains. The de- fendants denied that they were negligent in the running of the train, and claimed that the woman was guilty of contributory negligence in not looking before crossing the tracks. The evidence showed that the engineer blew his whistle when with- in forty feet of the crossing, when it was too late. The judge charged that he should have blown it eighty rods below the station and continued to blow it till past the station, as required by the statute. The jury promptly rendered a verdict of $5,000 for the plaintiff. Dr. Burke, agent of the Humane Society, stopped Monson Sturgcs, of Weston, who was driving through the boron h with a load of hay on Wednesday an ordered him to hitch another horse to the load on the ground that the load was too heavy for his team. Accordingly Sturges went to] the livery stable, procured another horse which he hitched to the neck yoke of his own team and drove ou,whilo a crowd of spectators npbraidcd him for being so foolish as to comply with the Dr.’s order. The load, it was estimated, weighed less than a ton anda quarter, and his team hauled it without apparent effort. The order was universally criti- cised as needless and meddlcsomc, and the remark was made that so far from relieving the team it was a detrimethas, they were obliged not only tofpull the load but to push the extra horse. -——Rcc0rd. Dr. Burko informs the Gamma that the above from the Record is unjust both to himself and the Humane Society. He says the facts are, that in response to a question put to Mr. Sturgcs, he replied that the load contained 5,950 pounds of buy, or within 50 pounds of three tons,and that he had been obliged to step and rest his team several times on the way from Weston, whereupon he was ordered in the name of the Society, to put on another horse, which he did without protest. The fast express trains between Pitts- field and New 1 ork started for the season on Monday. The north bound train left South Norwalk, via the D, & N. Division at 4'17 p. m., and the south bound train arrived in South Norwalk at 7.44 p. m. The first trains were watched by numbers of interested citizens of the borough as they whizzed through the bridge and out of sight at a rate of speed never before witnessed here. The first stop, after leav- ing South Norwalk, is New Milford on the main line, no stop being made at Bethel where the switch is set to run them onto the Hawleyville branch over .which they run to Hawleyvillc where they are switched onto the main line without stopping. The trains will prove a great convenience to the large numbers of New Yorkers who summer at Lenox, Stock— bridgc and other fashionable resorts in the famous Berkshire Valley, and the innova— tion of transferring the whole train onto the Housatonic system at South Norwalk instead of at Bridgeport as heretofore, saving as it does considerable in time, distance and fare, will be a welcome one. The new translucent substance intended as a substitute for glass has been satisfac- torily adopted in some of the public build- ings in London. It possesses such a degree of pliancy that it may be bent backwark and forward like leather and be subjected to very considerable tensile strain with impunity; it is also almost as translucent as glass and of a pleasing am- ber color, varing in shade from every light gelden to pale brown. The basis of the material is a web of fine iron" wire; with warp and welt threads about one- twelfth inch apart, this being enclosed, like . a fly in amber, in a sheet of trans- lucent varnish of which the case in linseed oil. There is no rosin or gum in the var- nish and once having become dry it-is capable of standing heat and damp with— out undergoing any change, neither hard— ening nor becoming sticky. Briefly the manufacture is accomplished by dipping the sheet edgewisc into deep tanks of var. nish and then allowing the coating which they thus receive to dry in a warm atmo— sphere, It requires somewhat more than a dozen of these dips to bring the sheets to the required degree of thickness and when this has been accomplished the material is stored for several weeks to thoroughly set. Mr. D. H. VanHoosear of Wilton has just issued a complete genealogical record; of the Fillow family, (also Philo and Phil— leo,) which is handsomely printed in a book of 274 pages. The work traces the various branches with an accuracy and dc- tail that bespcak years of patience and diligent and laborious toil and research, from John Fillow, a Huguenot refugee from France and the founder of the mul-- titudinous family in America, born about. 1765. Eight generations are traced, to the present date, embracing no less than 1,254 names, in many cases being accompanied with concise and well written bfogrnphi - cal sketches. The work also contains several portraits. The astonishing fact is brought out by an inspection of the work, illustrative of the extent to which mar— riage eugrafts new branches on a family tree, that the blood of the original John Fillow has coursed through the veins of branches bearing no less than 810 family names. The work is interesting even to those outside the family to which it is do - voted, and cannot fail of being inestima— bly valuable to the descendants of John Fillow who are in any way interested in possessing and preserving the record of their ancestry. Mr. Fillow sells the book at $4 per copy, and from the number of it must have an extensive sale. H. D. Cornell had another encounter with a passenger train yesterday morning and for the second time had a miraculous escape from destruction. He was on the platform of the D. 8:. N. morning train going south, and as the train was approach- ing the South Norwalk depot another man moved as if to jump off. Mr. Cornell, who was standing on the lowest step on the right hand side of the car swung out- ward to give the other man room to step off, clinging with both hands to the rear railing. At this point the train reached the crossing, and a telegraph pole struck Mr. C. with great force on the shoulder, breaking his hold on the handle and knocking him violently against the for- ward end of the rear car and he was thrown headlong to the ground almost under the wheels. The wheels of the rear car ran onto the right leg of his trousers, tearing them apart almost the entire length and Scraping his flesh. He suf- fered a deep out under the chin and a bad bruise on the forehead, which indented his skull severely though not breaking the skin, and he insists that his skull is crushed. The brakeman pulled the bell rope and a number dismounted to help the injured man aboard. He got up without assistance, however, walked to the train took the consolidated train to Five Mile River, inspected a boat which he is to paint, then walked back to South Norwalk and returned home at about one o’clock. He complained little of pain, but will undoubtedly be sore and lame for some days. The accident occurred on the identical spot where he was knocked against a building and nearly killed by an express train a year and a half ago, when he received injuries which kept him con- fined for several months. The case was tried- l Hoyt, 2.; Mrs. Mary S. its subjects now living, it would seem that 7 .. A, ,7 __ .. _ ,. w t.’ NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNES~DAY,..JUN.E 1,2, Norwalk’s Generosity. That Norwalk’s heart was touchedby the terrible Pennsylvania disaster is evi- denced by the prompt and hearty manner in which she is responding to the§cali for aid. The history of the movement in the borough is thus briefly outlined: Tues- day evening, in response to a call from Warden Coolidge, a citizens’ meeting was held in the Opera House, at which time $731.75 was raised and a committee of an appointed to organize a scheme for collect- ing. This committee met on Wednesday evening in the club room, E. O. Keclcr, chairman, and C. B. Coolidge, secretary. At this meeting over $200 more was pledged, and sub-committees designated to solicit from individuals in specified districts. The warden was empowered to draw on the treasurer and forward such sums as might be available. In response to a telegram, Governor Beaver, of Penn- sylvania, informed the warden that clo- thing was necded at Lock Haven and Williamsport, and, acting on this sugges- tion, the parish rooms were secured ovor Jackson’s jewelry store where contribu- tions of clothing ware requested to be sent. So liberal have been the donations that Warden Coolidge yesterday packed and shipped ten barrels of clothing and still it comes in. Besides these, private individuals have sent direct several barrels of clothing, etc. The warden on Thursday sent to Governor Beaver a draft on New New York for $1,000 and to-duy will un- doubtedly be able to sent another for the same amount. South Norwalk is con. tributing handsomely, andthe total of the contributions from the town of Norwalk is over $4,000, which will undoubtedly be swelled to considerably exceed $5,000 in cash. All honor to Norwalk l—Rccord. Up to date the borough contributions amount to $1,903.52, as follows : Rev. Wm. J. Slocum, 25.; J.

Collectors are requested to hand in their lists and collections to the treasurer as soon as possible. On account of the extent of the territory and the limit of time the collectors have been unable to call personally upon some who would be willing to contribute. The committee would esteem it a favor if any would-be contributors who have not been called upon would hand in. their contribu tions to the cashier of either of the bor— ough banks at .tho earliest possible mo— ment.

I understand that Judge Andrew1Sel— leck, of Norwalk, was in this city a day or two since, looking at a piece of prop- erty in the West. End, upon which there is a very costly dwelling, with a view of purchasing the same, which 1 hope is true. The people of Bridgeport would take great delight in welcoming J udgc Selleck and his estimable family, to this city. Mrs. John Kelly, the mother of Dr. John E. Kelly, whose untimely death was announced last week, was taken suddenly ill, mourning over the loss of her son, and at last accounts her life was dcspaired of, but it is hoped by her many friends that she will ultimately recover. . The resignation of Judge S. B. Beards- ley was a surprise to his many friends, in this section of the state, but it is said he had contemplated resigning for some time past, on account of ill health. The appointment by Gov. Bulkeley of ex~Cou- grossmnn, E. W. Seymour as J udgc Beardslcy’s successor, is received with much satisfactsou. Mr. Seymour is the eldest son of the late Chief Justice Origcn S. Seymour of Litchflcld. Judge Seymour resides in this city, but the summer months he spends in the old family man— sion in Litchflcld, where he was born and brought up. Rev. Geo. F. Prentiss, the pastor of the West End Congregational church, recent- ly received a call from the New Milford Congregational church, but after giving the matter a careful and serious consider— ation, he has declined the call and will re- main here. Mr. Prentiss is a talented, eloquent and earnest preacher, a good musician, and is often called upon to lead services of song in praise meetings. This is the first charge that Mr. Prentiss has had, since his ordination to the ministry, and is very much beloved by his people. This little parish is an off-shoot of the North Congregational church, and was ishing sunday school and church. At a recent meeting of the society, it was voted to purchase additional ground, and to re- move the present building to the rear for a sunday school room, and to build a new church to cost about $10,000, the present one being too small to accommodate the growing congregation. This is not the only branch that has sprung from the North church. They also started the Oli- vet church in the northern part of the city; The Rev. Mr. Holden, the pastor, is doing good work there. Much credit is due to the Rev. Charles Ray Palmer of the North church for his suggestions and influence in organizing these two churches, and while it depleted'from the membership of his own church, he has done all he could by his persistent hard work in raising means to help build up these parishes, and he has seen the fruits of his labors blessed by seeing these branches of the old parent church firmly established. There is yet an other off-shoot of this vigor- ous old church which is worthy of men:- tlou. It is the Scandinavian Congrega— tional church. Rev. N. C. Christensen,- pastor which is now fully organized, and is very useful in its relation to the Danes and Norwegians in the city. This is the only church they have, in this city, and they hold their services in the North church chapel, which the society has kindly given them the use of, free of all expenses. Mr. Palmer has taken great interest in these people, and encouraged them in their good work in many ways. Another incendiary fire occurred yes- terday morning about 3 o’clock. This time it proved to be the barn belonging to Mr. L. B. Vail, on Sea View avenue, in the eastern district. The loss was about $400 and was covered by insurance. It was said that two men were seen running away from the burn after it was discovered to be on fire. The police think they have a clue, but no arrests have yet been made. Mayor Hon. R. E. DcForest called a public meeting last Tuesday afternoon to raise funds for the Johnstown sufferers. The meeting was an enthusiastic one, and a large amount was subscribed, which up to the present time has reached 37,000, and it will probably reach $10,000 before the week is out. Major W. B. Hincks, treasurer of the City Savings Bank, has been appointed treasurer of the fund. Major Hincks has remitted a portion of the above amount to Governor James A. Beaver, of Pennsylvania, which has been gratefully acknowledged receipt of with many thanks in a beautiful letter, a copy of which is as follows : Hamnsnono, June 7th, 1889. W. B. Hincks, Esq, Treasurer Relief . Committee, Bridgeport, Conn. Mr Dunn Sim—Your letter of the 5th inst. has been received. The prompt, energetic and muuiflcient response of the people of Connecticut to the wail of sorrow which was carried from Penna lvania in the wake of our disastrous oods calls for our sincere gratitude, which in the name of the suf- ferers I beg to express. The devastation of Johnstowu and throughout the Couemaugh Valley is simply incredible. All the modem appliances, which can be employed, are now in use day and night, to render the valley once more habitable. It is estimated that this work alone will cost $500,000. I am very sure that $1,500,000 at least will be absolutely needed before the people can get to work to rebuild their homes and resume their normal conditions. Some estimates place the amount at very much higher figures. The funds, which come into my hands, will be placed in the hands of reliable persons after careful inquiry as to the need of expenditure. I appreciate very fully the desire the donors of this fund expressed to me in many ways that their contributions should go o the right place and for a really chari- table purpose. Our people who are administering these contributions are fully impressed with the sacredncss of their trust, and I have no fears of any misplace- ment of the funds. The moneys, 'which have come and will come into my handz. are placed in the hands of a treasurer, and will be drawn only for such purposes as appeal to the combined judgment of myself and those who shall be associated with me in directing the distribution of the most magnificent charitable contribu- tion of modern times. Very cordial] yours, JAMES A. unvna, Governor. The reception at the Y. M. C. A. rooms last Monday evening, was largely attended Dr. De Vcr Warner presented the associa- tion with a deed of the property formerly known as the Capt. Brook’s place. corner Gilbert and Main streets. This piece of property is estimated by real estate men to be worth from thirty-five to forty thous- and dollars. This is one of the most eligible sites on Main street. It is a noble gift and Dr. Warner should receive the thanks, not only from the Y. M. C. A., but from the whole community. The contract for the new building has been given out, to cost about $75,000. When this building is completed it will add very much to the comfort and convenience of the young men in this city. Hon. P. T. Barnum has presented a lot to tho Scicn~ tiflc society. which is’ situated on the » opposite corner, and on ‘which he is to erect a handsome building, and present it .to the society free of cost. When|thcse two buildings arccrected it will greatly improve that part of Main street. , The July Century will contain an illus- trated pa or on ”Inland Navigation of the Unite States,” written by Mr. Charles Barnard, and covering the steamboat service of the country on river,:lake, and coast. The new ferry—boat Bergen and the sound steamer Puritan will be de— scribed, with a number of pictures. The decoration of these and other recently built boatsfurnishes an inspiring theme for a brief accompanying paper by Mrs.Van Rousselaer on “The Anvance in Steamboat Decoration.” So widespread has incbriety became among children in Austria that it is no strange thing to see drunken boys and girls enter the schoolhouscs.
