STRANGE ATMospHERrc LIGHTS AND SOUNDS.
Several correspondents of the London Times
have sent to that paper accounts Of wonderful
sights and sounds in tho air, which they have
lately seen and heard. One writer saw q
broad, illuminated pillar of mist, which proved
to be q portion Of an arc, in all respects re-
sembling rainbow except that no prismatic
colors were visible. Others, twenty miles
apart, heard the discharge Of gun high up
in the air. The report was as sharp and as
instan taneous as cannon. Some believed it to
be a clap of thunder. Tt was freezing at the

The May Party,

Rather disheartening indeed were
the signs of unavoidable weather which
preceded the appointed time for
holding the annual May Party of the
Public Schools, and mapy sighs and
explanations of discomfort and dis
appointment escaped those who In
their vivid immaginations had pic
tured to themselves right merry
time. Clouds and signs passed away
and Thursday morning was usherd in
amid bright sunbeams and welcomed
by scores of quickly throbiBg hearts.
Gathering into their baskets such
things as would tend to satisfy the
craving of an enhanced appetite, about
two hundred and fifty boys ande girls.
accompanied by their teachers and
friends, wended their way toward Cor
Wells Grove, about a mile distant from
this place, there to forget the world
and its follies and busy themselves in
merry making and pleasure. How
they succeeded, let those who engaged
in the plays answer We joined in
with other visitors to pass few hours
in chasing the girls for throwing
piece of cambric behind as. and because
we noticed Others put their faces In
close proximity, we did likewise
How we did run and how every one
else did run, and all for kiss. Sure
ly kiss is worth running for. 1t
makes your blood warm and causes
yonr heart to beat like q bass drum
and your eyes twinkle like stars on q
wintry night We do not mean to
say we went there to kiss or be kissed,
but when we see such things going on
we like to be counted in.
About three O'Clock the children and
others were called together by the
roadside to witness the ceremony of
the presentation of watch, chaia and
badge, the gift Of the scholars, to their
loved Principal Mr.. j NJ. Robinson.
The articles were presented by Mr..
VIM. Gown in behalf of the Commit-
tee and Scholars, with q short and
characteristic speech, to which Mr..
Robinson replied with heart swelling
with emotion. How peculiarly graf
flying this occasion must have been
both to teacher and scholars. ANY
one who has been a participant on
such an occasion may be capable Of
Judging of the pride of those who feel
themselEes,so attached to adarge band
of youthful hearts, or the feelings of
those who deem it pleasure to be
counted among the pupils of J. M.
Robinson, Esq. The articles above
enumerated were selected and pnr-
chased by committee consisting of
VIM. Gown, Jas, S. Wilson end A.
W. Angel, appointed by the pupils,
from the proceeds of an exhibition
given short time since. They are
valued at $3.50. After the presenta-
ton, the scholars again resumed their
sports, making the woods resound with
shouts of merry laughter, until ap-
preaching twilight caused them to
separate. May many such days dawn
upon this party and may merry twi-
lights find them SO merrily inclined,
is the wish of those who made two of
their number on Thursday last

Prize Fight IN Milford.


Since the news of the great Interna-
tional Fight at Marlborough, for the
Champions Belt and the Champion
ship of England the usually mild and
even tempered disposition of our peo-
pie has been reused up to something
like pugiHstic warmth. The gallant
stand made by Heenan, fit representa-.
tive of the bird of Freedom. single
handed and alone, against almost over
whelming disadvantages and odds, and
his signal and undoubted Ulctory over
his more practised, scientific and stub
born competitor, Notwithstanding the
ruse attempted by Savers hackers, and
the cowardly fight, and unprincipled
conduct of that bloody EnglishDlan,
Bowling, Editor of Bells Life, stake
holder and referee, allthese things have
made many here-not naturally in fa-
vor of prize fghting-warm admirers
of Heenan; and as consequence, In
fused into them no small degree of ire
and contempt for his cowardly assail-
ants. But not having any Of the latter
here to pitch into, it finds vent other
wise. As an illustration of this, one
day this week, two gentlemen well
known here, being brim full of this
spirit, got into . wraDgle about an
unoffending liberty pole, standing OPP
posite ones door, though on strip
of earth generally considered here as
common or neutral ground. One of
these gentlemen we shall designate as
HeenGn, and the other as Sayegs.
Well, Sayers threatened to cut down
this POLE Heenan, as matter of
course, told him if be attempted it, he
would lick him; or in other words,
that the first blow he struck against
the pole would be the signal Cor his
own doa0n tatpsblang. Sayers, nothing
daunted with the threat, but armed
with an axe marched boldly towards
the pole, followed closely by Heenan,
who looked fight. Both men showed
splendid, and mnfmur of celebration
greeted the rivals. The excitement
became intense. After few graceful
feints, Sayers nimbly advanced, raised
the axe, and bang-down it came on
the devoted pole. But no soOnersdone
THAI Heenan, quick as lightning, and
from the shoulder as straight as a
spear, shot out Old Broadway, reach
ing Sayer's on the conk, aud, like as
falls house, its walls being under
mined, so down in heap, like bis,
great prototype went our modern Say
ers. Shouts from Heenan's friends and
offers to lay 6 to 4, and eyea 2 toa
theirichampion were freely offered, but
with no takers. But GA time being
called for round second, Sayers was
found SO injured in his breGd-basket as
to be unable to respond to time or
leave his. seconds knee, which they
perceiving. with gallantry which did
them honor, threw up the sponge in
tokensof defeat Heenan was accord
ingly declared victor, after a fight of
one round, occupying minute and 8
seconds.

Being unable to attend the last quar-

ing nothing about it, we take the fol-
lowing from the "Guardian -
This association met at New Bruins
wick on Thursday room. The session
was held in the Hotel of John Will
liams, near the Depot, formerly Stelle's
Hotel. Although Hotvery numerous
ly attended on account of the storm,
the proceedings were very pleasant
and harmonious. In the absence of
the President, Josephus Sham of the
Railway Republican occupied the
chair, and addressed the members upon
subjects interesting to the craft, and
particularly in reference to advance
payments in all cases for newspaper
subscriptions. No business was Trans
acted of Importance to the pubhc gen.
orally, as the hours of the Convention
were mainly occupied in discussion
of the duties of the profession.
At three o'clock the party were in
vited to the dining hall by the proprie-
tor of the Hotel, and a splendid repast
was spread before them, consisting of
ali the finest delicacies and solids that
was to be procured. The following

Nj utllating Bills.

Mutllating Bills.
Al exchange, in abiding to the
practice of boys in tearing down and
mutilating bills, condemns it as wrong
in a legal sense, as well as in a moral
point of view. The posters of busi-
ness men are as much his property as
the goods en- his shelves or the to ols
on his bench, aad when not post ed in
Forbidden places, are equally under
the protection of the law-if not in
kind at least Ia degree. He who
wantonly defaces or destroys them is
liable to prosecution for malicious
mischief The penalty, however, is
Sc Aom enforced, for the reason that
no one ever thinks of proceeding ac-
cording to the enactment against those
who are the most frequent violators
of 1.-THE boys. The offence is one
which requires more speedy vista
ton OF consequences, and more prac-
tical and forcible demonstration OF
what is right and what is wrong. -
Proper parental training, or the prompt
exercise of little authority on the
part of our officers in few instances
where the offenders are caught in the
act, will do more to stop the depreda.
ton than all the tardy processes Of
the law.
