CURIOUS INc1pENr.-The Captain of the
bark Fnen, which reached the place Of the
wreck of the Central America in time to pick
up forty four of those floating in the water,
gives the following singular statement OF
how he came to steer his vessel to the place
Of the wreck:
"I was forced by the wind to sail little
out of my course before came up with you,
and on altering it, a strange bird flew across
the ship once or twice, and then darted into
my face. l, however, took no notice of this
circumstance, and the same thing occurred
again, which caused me to regard the circum-
stances as something extraordinary and
while thinking on it in this way, the myste-
rious bird for the third time appeared and
went through the same very extraordinary
maneuvre. Upon this was induced to alter
my course into the original one, which had
been steering, and in short time | heard
noises, and on trying to discover what they
proceeded from, discovered that was in the
midst of people who had been shipwrecked."

There has been, since the time Of
Adam, six thousand years; and if you
count 33 1-3 years to a generation three
has been 180 generations. It was esti-

now on the globe about $50 million of
inhabitants, and if you count that as
one generation, there has been 153,-

since it was created. There are 2, ,0S5,-

WILTON, Oct. 18th, 1887.
EDITOR JOURNAL Wilton is getting to
be quite famous, or else times must be e1-
cecdingIy slight" in Mascatine and adjoin-
ing towns, to drive all the rascals to the
Junction. Some two or three weeks ago
the Ticket office of the NJ. Il NJ. Railroad
was entered by breaking the window, and
money to the amount of about thirteen dol
lars stolen therefrom also coat belonging
to the Agent, Mr.. Francis, and a few tickets
were likewise pilfered by these lght-fnger-
ed gentry. The same night they tried to
enter the store of J. j. Rider by breaking
the glass of the front window, but the noise
awaking tie two clerks who slept in the
store, ard delieately inquiring what was
wanting, had the effect to cause their imme-
diate withdrawal at 2.40 pace. Also the
dwelling house of Esq. Gibson was entered
and a watch taken from the side of the
bed room where he was sleeping. Last
night he Same acts were repeated in part.
Mr.. Francis, having. eccasion to go by the
Depot about 10 o'clock midnight, thought
he would go in and leave his lantern, the
light of which had gone out. just as he
was fairly inside he heard and saw some
fellows making tracks for the outside through
a raised window. Had Mr.. F. been pre-
pared wi pistol he thinks he would have
them little. They paid second
visit to Mr.. Rider, when after breaking
glass backed out. Two or three more houses
were visited with like success. Now, Mr..
Editor, what W oull you advise one to do9-
The nerves of the good people of this town
are considerably excited at such repeated at
tempts at burglary, and they feel considerably
alarmed for their personal safety and prop
erty. lusrs, truly, j. D. S..
four C N @ondent represents the inhabi-
tants of " ilton as consid iderably frightened
about these matters, and asks what they are
to do. We advise them to keep cool, and
prepare themselves with the necessary ar
ticles to give the Williams welcome with
cold lead when they make their nocturnal
visits.
