nE Some of our readers may renem

% Some of our readers may remem- ber that novel theory of the structure. of the earth was propoqnded some years ago by one Captsin Symmes. and that is was explained and advocated in this city |, and elsewhere by John N. Reynolds. Esq. who afterwards became prominent po- ,tician and lawyer here. The theory was that there was an opening in the earth at each pole, and that vessels might sail through it into the interior of the globe. if they could once pass the barrier of ice by which it is surrounded The theorE was known as Symmes' Hole, and the designation was quite generally applied, to the inventor and the advocate of it. A writer in the Montreal Herald contends: that it has been confirmed by the account of the Arctic Exploring Expedition, and, that Sir John Franklin has probably got. into the hole and can't get out! He quotes thls statement from the accounts of Capt. Penny's expedition.
 "Capt. Penny found heavy barrier, of ice in Wellington Channel, not very far from its opening from Barrow'sStraits; ;. but most remarkable change was ob- served as he passed to a more Northern latitude-the ice which he had left (as is, usual at this early season, April and May) firm and solid, was here decayed and un> safe, and at last travellers came upon open water, drift wood, Arctic animals and birds-the latter in enormous num- bers. Here were all the signs of an io- proved climate"
 He makes the following comment:
 "I do not know how it will strike you. sir, but to me, with whom the idea of openings at the poles has been familiar for. some thirty years, the information communicated by. Capt. Penny is exci- tingly curious. Perhaps, after all. Sir John Franklin has found this opening It there be such an opening. it isquite probable that the strength of the current into the opening may prevent return to sailing vessels: it would not, however, be an obstacle to the return of steamers. How important then it becomes that Capt. Penny's present efforts to obtain a steamer, and return to the 'open water and the improved climate may be suc> csssful."

Union Flowing Match at BridgspOr..

MR. KILBoURNE-H Having been mueh interested in the late Cattle Show and Fair m Fairfield county recently held at Bridge- port, and particularly the great Union Flow ing Match, which took place on the second day ot the Fair, have thought short ac- count ot 1t might not prove unintereSt,ng to you and your readers.
 The display of Cattle was good, but one accustomed to witness the exhibitions of fine stock. at the Litchfield County Fair. would hardly refrain from saying. Give me old Litchfeld County yet for fine cattle. But in every other respect our county ia sadly deficient. With every elemen nt of the work shop, products of the fields, orchard. garden ard dairy, to make our Fair une. quaIled l1 point of interest and utility bv any smilaF Society, it is only distinguished by the peagreness of it's display. A nasty glance through the rooms at Brideeport. canyinced the visitor that the Society had not been unmindfpl of this source for raising much of their funds,
 But the great attraction was the Flowing Match. ths interest in which was early man. iiested by crowds of Spectators and blow. men, with their assistants and teams ma. king their way to the field ofcon,est. 3 fa,v "~0S ~A tAO AC0AuCuC0 OI +. 1T. KHr. mum. The field was well adapted to inc purpose. The day was fine, and every 'h'ng consplred to give interest to the occs, sion. At the signal given, twenty nine teams started. each guided by as excited man us could well be imagined. Alter the blowing, an interesting address was Ilsten- ed to-and then came the awarding of pre. miums. The first of $50 was unanimonsIv awarded to T. l.. HART, of Coruwall-- the most stony town in rough old Li,ch6eld county. A stranger who stood near said. ! wonder where he found smooth hand enough to know whether he could blow OF not 7 The plow manufacturers know inc importance ot such tests to establish their reputation. An Englishman protessing great skill, and who has won prizes in Eng land as well as at tue blowing match of the American Institute, was employed by a company to hold one of their blows i; and l would just hint to them. that give yankee an equal chance, and he can't be beat on land -ay, not even on the waters of old England!

Sir John Franklin.

The English naval commanders differ much with regard to the probabilities of the route of this navigator. Sir John Ross. who has just returned. believes that his ships we're wrecked in the upper part of Bafiin's Bay and himself end crew murdered by the Esquimaux and that he nsver went up the Wellington Cham nel. bus was returning home when he met with this disaster. The proof of this is from an Esquimaux report.
 On the contrary. Capt. Penny and the Grirnell Expedition both concur that un. mistakabIe traces of Sir John were found in Wellington Channel. and that he iS 10 be sought for in that direction.
