DANGEROUS FENT.-Scme time since
the point of the lightning rod on The ssee-
pie OF the First Congregational Church IN
New London, 90! unsctewed and fell TO the
ground. 1t was such dangerous piece OF
work to replace it that the committee were ere
unwilling 10 employ any one to perform the
task. A Mr.. De Wolf, however, volunteer
ed to make the attempt, which the COM
mittee permitted after some hesitation, hav-
inc promised him a handsome sum II he
succeeded. He did succeed, accomplish
ing the task without any apparent Conscious
ness of having done anything eXiraordlna-
ry. The New London Chronicle says the
point to which he ascended is very near
two hundred feet, and for the last hl'y iee'
he had to climb up stone surface with
c,,aing to hold on to but small IRON rod !;
and when he reached the ball he was Stiif
some dozen feet from the end OF his Jour-
new. This distance he had TO sh'n up a
s,nole rod a labor which he found so ia
hon;no that he became exhausted, ana was
obJioed to return and seat himself OH IT.! the
hall and recover breath. This he soon dId'
antf (earlessly resumed his travels towards
the clouds, where he accomplished his oo-
iect and came down as we have already
stated.

The N1iIIenniai Sabbath.

The Rev. DR.. Cumming, the learned the
ologian and brilliant writer, dellneates
most beautifully the glories of MllIennial
Sabbath. 1t will be found below:
"It will be day of lasting rest. When
the night that is far spent is completely ex-
hausted, and the day shall be fully come,
then there shall be perfect rest The earth
shall have its Sabbath which 1t lost by our
sin. Man shall have his, in its integrity
and beauty. God'rested on the seventh
day from all his work, and hallowed the
the Sabbath and biessedit it. | believe there
is not beast in the field nor fish IN the
sea, nor fowl IN The air, that has not a
right TO the Sabbath, and that shall not yet
have Sabbath of rest. There is not Ia
borer in the workshop, nor tohIrg man
in the Post-ofice, or clerk in the count
ing-house that may not claim the Sabbath
Next to Gods wold, Gods Sabbath is the
right and privilege of Man. lnhdellly I'M
pugns and denounces both by Gods grace
we will part with neither. And when that
last Sabbath comes-the Sababth OF all cre-
ation---the heart, wearied with Its tumnltu-
Gus beating, shall have resi- tiie so"'' i''e
ed with its anxieties, shall enjoy peace
The sun of that Sabbath will never set, or
veil his splendors in cloud, The flowers
that grow in his light will never fade :
Our earthly Sabbaths are but faint recollec-
tons of the heavenly Sabbath, cast down
upon earth, dimmed by the transit oi their
rays from so great height and so distant a
world. The fairest landscapes or com
biaatioas of scenery on earth, are but the
outskirts Of the paradise of God, fore-earn-
est and intimations of that which lies be-
yond them and the happiest Sabbath heart
whose every pulse is Sabbath bell hears
but very inadequate echo of the chimes
and barmonies of that Sabbath, that rest,
where we crest not day and night" IN
which the song is ever new, and yet ever
sung"

FLOWERS AND PERFUMERY.-Some idea
of the importance Of perfumery as an artl-
Gle of commerce may be formed, when it is
stated that one Of the large perfumers of
Grasse, in Flance, employs anhually 10000
lbs, of orange blossoms, 60, 900 lbs. ofcasse
flowers, 81, 600 lbs. of violet flowers, 20 600
lbs. of tuberoses, 16, 900 lbs. of lilac flowers,
besides rosemary, mint, lavender, thyme,
lemon, orange, and other odorous plants,
in like proportion. Flowers yield perfumes
in all climates, but those growing in the
warmer lalitddes, are, it seems, the most
prolific in their odour, while those from
the colder are sweetest. Though many Of
the finest perfumes come from the East
Indies, CeyIon, Mexico, and Peru, the south
of Europe is the only real garden of utility
to the perfumer. Grasse and Nice are the
principal seats Of the art. From their geo.
graphical position the grower, within COM
paratively short distances, has at command
that change of climate most applicable to
bring to perfection the plants required for
his trade.
On the sea-coast his cassie grows with
out fear of frost, one night of which would
destroy all the plants for season; while
nearer the Alps, his violets are found sweet
er than if grown in the warmer situation
where the orange tree and mignonette
bloom TO perfection. England, however,
can claim the superiority in the growth OF
lavender and peppermint; the essentIa! oils
extracted from these plants grown at Mitch
am, in Surrey, realise eight times the price
in the market of those producedin France
or elsewhere, and are fully worth The dlf-
ference for delicacy Of odour.

New USES OF SPlRITUALIsM.-A singu-
lar case ofbigamy recently occurred in this
city, says the New York Times, which IL
lustrates the new uses TO which spiritual raps
NAV be appropriated. a woman named
Susan A. Hubbard was arrested for the a.
bove offence, and taken before Judge Os-
burn, of the Lower Police Court, for hear
ng, On the goth inst. 1t was alleged that
she had three or four husbands; but it was
necessary only to prove the existence OF
two marriages. Rev. Mr.. Saggart, Bap-
list clergyman. one of the witnesses, iden-
titled the prisoner as the person whom he
had, some years since, married to Hubbard.
Hubbard himself was present, and was al
so identified by the witness-thus proving
that he was not dead, but had, unfortunate
ly turned up"
The second husband (or rather one of the
subsequent husbands) was also present, and
swore to his recent marriage with the &C.
fendant. Mr.. Smucker, the counsel for the
prosecution, wished to know the circum-
stances under which the last marriage had
been brought about. The witness, Henry
w. Smith, was a schoolmaster. he had
first met the prisoner at an assemblage OF
spiritualists, on the corner of Broadway and
Lispenard street. She was prominent
member of the circle, which met there from
time to time, to summon the world of splr-
its to their presence and interrogate them,
The prisoner gradually became acquainted
with the witness "a robust, good-looklng
young man, and having conceived pas
sion for him. set about the work OF inducing
him to marry her. He heard that she had
former husbands, and wished TO know II
they were dead. At the next meeting, she
summoned the whole ofthem from the land
Of shadows, and made them all, one after
the other, testify to the fact tina! they were
dead, (n body,) and give other interesting
items as to their spiritual condition. Inc
Young man. being firm believer IN Spirit
uaism, could not, Of course, deny such ev-
idence and being attracted BY the smart
ness, intelligence and good looks OF the ''me-
dunn" he married her. Not long after, he
discovered that her Spiritual Manifesto

A New Potatoe-The potatoe

A New Potatoe-The potatoe disease has
proved very extensive in many parts of England
In some grounds usually productive of large guam
titles for consumption there is scarcely enough of
sound potatoes for seed. In the United Statesthe
crop has been very large and very generally, we
think, il is free from disease. Among the many
remedies for the potato rot it has frequently been
suggested that the oldstock should be supplied by
new species produced from the seed. In this con-
nexion we see il stated that Mr.. Charles Wesson,
of Worcester, Massachusetts, has harvested fine
crop of potatoes. As an evidence of the prolific
yield of his farm, two men and three boys dug
seventy bushels in single half day last week, and
such potatoes as they exhibited, it is said have
never been excelled in any Of the qualities that
are regarded as most valuable. The potatoe re-
ferred to, is known as the Princeton Jenny Lind,
a new variety; and what is particularly worthy of
note in conncxion with its uniform superiority of
development, there is not in the whole crop the
slightest indication ofthe malady which has proved
so destructive TO other varieties The introduce
ton of this potatoe, therefore, is matter of inn
poriance to farmers and all others.
