RETURN AND RECEPTION OF THE TROOPS
The two Worcester companies left Concord
Saturday arriving home from the encampment
about four O'Clock in the afternoon. The
Guards, As guns, paraded the streets as the es-
cort of Major Stoddard and staff, of the Third
Battalion of Rifles, accompanied by Fishes Cor
net Band. The Light Infantry, 90 guns, ac-
companied by the Worcester Cornet Band, es
corted by Major Lamb and staff, of the Third
Battalion of Infantry, to the Common, where
they went through dress parade. The In
fantry, with Major Lamb and staff and the Band
as guests, then proceeded to their armory in
Horticultural Hall, where bountiful collation.
had been provided by their friends. Capt. d.
w. Lincoln, past commander of the Company,
briefly addressed them in behalf of the citizens,
welcoming them to their homes after the tolls
and privations of camp life. He concluded by
introducing to them distinguished friend of
the corps, Hon. Dwight Foster, who compli-
mented the Infantry for their soldierly bearing
upon the field and for their safe return and
healthful appearance after the wearisome labors
through which they had just passed.
Capt. Pratt, of the Infantry, responded, in
behalf of his corps, thanking their citizen
friends for the generous entertainment which
had been provided, and Messrs. Lincoln and
Foster for their favorable consideration.

STRIKE OF TIRE HATTERs.-One of the most
formidable, and, at the same time, one of the
most discreet and best managed STRIKES" on
record, has been recently brought to peace
full settlement in New York. The "strike"
was initiated at meeting of the Hatters' Trade
Association in June last, when a scale of pri-
ces was agreed upon and referred to their en-
ployers. Large numbers of them refused to
accede to the desired increase of wages, and
formed a defensive association to resist the de-
mands of the journeymen. The matters be-
came more determined by opposition, and
struck. Fifteen hundred employees in New
York and Philadelphia left work to await the
pleasure of their employers For five weeks
this contest between capital and labor went on
quietly, the former prudently refraining from
making public announcement ofits grievances,
and the latter as wisely retaining from max
ing public appeals for sympathy. Within a
few days, it is stated, the workingmen's scale
of prices has been adopted with some modfca-
tons and mutual concession, the former rela-
tons of the contestants being quietly and ami
cably restored. The average wages of jour
neymen hatters in those cities at present is
about ten dollars per week.

The TELEGRAPH MANUAL; A Complete
History and Description of the Semaphoric,
Electric, and Magnetic Teegraphs of Asia,
Africa, Europe, and America, Ancient and
Modern By T. P. Shaffner, 8vo., PIP. $50.
New York: Pudney & Russell, publishers.
There are, at the present time, so many per-
sons who feel the want of such a book as this,
that Col. Shaffher and his publishers are not
likely TO find their enterprise improbable.
The book will readily find purchasers, for it
not only gives information concerning tele-
graphs and telegraphing, which is wanted, but
does it in a style which deserves extensive ia
vor. First, we have an account of the various
contrivances for telegraphing, ancient and
modern, which preceded the discovery of
electro. magnetism; and there is particular
account of the most complete and effective
system of visual telegraphing, of Chap
pc, as improved by himself and others. The
first four chapters of the work are devoted to
the old systems. Then follows very clear
and complete account of the origin and pro-
gress Of the science of telegraphing by cleo
tricity and magnetism. The idea of an cleo
trio telegraph originated in Germany; and,
even the important discovery, that the earth
can be used as one half of an electric circuit
is due to German, Professor G. A. Steinheil
of Munich. Col. Shaffner says very justly =
"This was the grandest discovery ever made
in practical biography" And yet this dscov-
cry, made in 1888, appears to have been acct
dental. Professor Steinhei invented a writing
telegraph; he discovered the system of
telegraphing intelligence by sound and
he first organized the system of poles
and insulators, for telegraph wires Pro-
fessor Morse does not clam to have dis
covered or invented anything but "the.art
ofimprinting characters at distance for tele-
graphing purposes" and "the use of sounds
for telegraphing." His discoveries were made
in 1882; but the idea of an electric telegraph is
older. His mind was led to the subject by the
prevalent activity in Europe of experiment in
relation to electromagnetic He was very
fortunate in what he did, and through bis in
fluence telegraphing on long lines of wire was
first introduced, the first successful line being
that between Washington and Baltimore
Col Shaflner's book contains six hundred
and twenty-five pictorial illustrations. There
are ten or eleven steel portraits of distinguish.
ed telegraphers; and there is complete ac-
count of all the existing telegraph lines
throughout the world. OF course he gives
proper attention to submarine telegraphs in
general, and to the Atlantic cable in particular.
If the book is not for sale by somebody in
Worcester, it should be.

graph, which will be read everywhere with
surprise and regret:
"The publishing house of Messrs. Phillips,
Sampson, & Co., suspended payment to-day.
This announcement we make with regret, for
the enterprise of the firm has been creditable
to our city. Within a few months both Mr..
Phillips and Mr.. Sampson have died, and the
whole active responsibility of the firm fell upon
the junior partner, Mr.. Perkins. A distrust
has arisen which has proved very injurious to
their credit, and to-day it was deemed prudent
to suspend"

ROBBERY IN MILFoRD.-About two weeks
since, the office of DIR. Russell, in Milford, was
feloniously entered, and robbed of papers, in
Guiding notes to the value of $500. In few
days fellow was arrested in Boston for lar
ceny of shoes, on whose person the missing
notes were found, payment of them having
been stopped. Deputy Sheriff Hayward Of
Milford went on and took the fellow into Gus

committed to Jail in this city to await his trial
in October next. The Office of the depot mas
ter was also entered last Wednesday night, but
nothing of value was taken.

Berkshire county for the office of State Treas
