Huron County News.

The Norwalk Reflector has the follow
ing items:
Rumor gains currency, with how much
foundation we are u%nadvised, that the c.
81 Il. R. R. Co. intend soon to erect large
additions to their shops at this point to
accommodate their rapidly increasing bus
mess. New Locomotives, passenger coaches,
and freight cars-of which latter they are
building a large number-are now the or
der of the day.
The citizens of Huron County, who de-
sire to protect themselves against the dep
relations of thieves who infestt the country,
are requested too meet at the Court House
in Norwalb, on Saturday the 9th day of
December, 1865, at - o'clock, p. NJ, to
form a company of detectives in each
township in the County, whose business
shall be, when any member of the Society
shall have any property stolen, to ferret
out, catch the thief, and return the prop
ertv. Let us have a full attendance, APP
point our county and township officers,
make such bylaws and regulations as
shall be necessary, and we will soon have
the villains locked up or driven out of our
county.
At the last term of the Huron County
Circuit Court four criminals were sen
fenced to the P~enitentiary for the offence
of bigamy, grand larceny and burglary
two were sentenced to the Reform School
and four to the county Jail.

An able correspondent of the Chicago
Republican thus criticizes our representa-
tives abroad as diplomatists and dispatch
writers:
The dispatches written by our diplo-
matte agents in Europe since the Repub-
lican administration, as far as they are
printed land the best and most interesting
L believe are never printed), are upon the
whole very able, and may challenge COM
parison with those of their predecessors ;
and this is saying a great deal, consider
ing the galaxy Of great men which VIC
have employed in our foreign service. No
nation has ever sent out SO many of its
first-class men on foreign missions. Frank
lin, Jefferson, John Adams, John Mar
shall, Monroe, Gallatin, John Quincy
Adams, John Jay, both the Everetts,
Washington Irving, Wheaton, and a host
of others hardly of less note, from a con-
stellation not easily surpassed.
The fault of American dispatches gen.
orally is their length. European states
men study brevity, pregnancy and clear
ness. Englishmen frequently sin too much
in that direction, and their notes become
blunt, not to say rude. What Il contrast
there is between the style of writing of
| Earl Russell and Mr.. Adams. French
notes, while never rude, are always even
on the most important questions of a con-
v%enient length, and as transparently clear
as crystal.
The trouble with most of our ministers
is that they have nothing to write about
from their own courts, and so they take
the opportunity of intiicting upon the de-
partment their incubrations upon the pol
tiles of other countries, which do not con
Gem them at all. Our minister at Brus-
sells seems to have charged himself with
the entire bulk of the politics of Europe
and the rest of mankind.
The most ridiculous display, however,
has been made by ministers, hailing from
the most obscure places, in trying to dis
cuss the policy which the administration
and country at home should pursue. Very
wise lectures nave been sent over from
Europe ~instructing Mr.. Seward now to act.
All this was very well meant, and caused
by enn,ai, since those argumentative gen
tlemen had nothing else to do.

Interesting Experiments ON the ~.
Johns Boilers - Startling Facts
Why Good Boilers EXpIOde-A New
and Rational Theory, Gc., &c.
Mr.. Norman Wizard ofthis city has just
concluded some very interesting eXper-
iments on board of the steamboat st. John
of the Peoples Line Of Steamers. By per-
mission and the request of the owners of
the line, he inserted a number of Their
mometers in the port boilers (the one
which e~xploded), for the purpose of ascer-
tainining the different temperatures III the
interior Of the same. The following shows
the temperature at stated points: Below
the water-line, 276 degrees; in the steam,
from 395 to 500 degrees twelve inches
above the rupture of the 18th of October,
500 degrees twelve inches below the rup-
ture of the 10Th of October, 269 degrees.
The surface of the water in the boiler
oscillated up and down six inches, alternate
ly heating the place by exposure to the hot
steam at 500 degrees, and cooling it by
contact with the water 269 degrees. 1t is
fearful to contemplate when we nov know
hat IA sudden change of 231 degrees is
constantly occurring in these boilers; and
the certain effect must be, with such eX-
p%ansion and contraction, to permanently
weaken the plates of the boiler. These
experiments have already created a great
sensation among boiler makers and engin-
GERS. Before the st. John left on her last
trip a large number of well-known me-
chanics examined the experiment for
themselves and expressed great surprise at
the new and practical discovery.
Mr.. Wizard claims that he has found tie
simple, safe and sure remedy to e~qualize
the temperature in the boilers, AMI ali
those who have witnessed the experiments
believe it can be done. If this be so, then
thepublic should demand that every boiler
should thus be guarded against the fire.
quent and general u~naccauntable explo-
sions. The jury in the case of the st.
John could find no person guilty, but then
they failed togive a cause why that boiler,
evidently of good material, should give
way with an ordinary and lawful press
ure. If all boilers have SO much o~scilla-
ton, and consequently SO wide a range of
expansion and contraction, then the pro-
blem of 'unaccountable' boiler explosions
is solved-NciU York Tribune.

Seizure of Tobacco at Richmond.

No little sensation was created among
the traders on Wednesday, by the seizure
of tobacco purchased by John Jones, of
this city, who is purchasing agent for Bel
mont s. Co., of New York, who are agents
for the Rothchilds. 1t appears that dur
ing the morning Colonel LOOMS, who is
agent for the Treasury of the United
States, called at Anderson's and Myers
warehouses, and asked the inspector if they
had not some of Rothchild's tobacco stored
there. The inspector informed him that
they had, whereupon he ordered it to be
put in order for shipping. He was then
asked by the inspector had he the usual to-
bacco notes? To which hereplied that he
had not, but that he had a list of the to-
bacco prepared by MIR. Suydam, who is
also an agent of Belmont u Co. The in
spectors, of course, had nothing further to
say at the moment, and yielded assent.
The amount at Anderson's warehouse is
253 hogsheads, and at Myers warehouse is
lib hogsheads. If we recollect rightly
the Confederate government seized this
same tobacco during the war, but subse-
quently gave it up to the owners.-Rich-
nond Wing.

Tbe New Senator from Vermont.

Judge Poland, the new Senator from
Vermont, was born at Westford, Vermont,
in November, 1915. His advantages for
education were unusually limited, yet he
so far surmounted and overcame all him
ORANGES that at the age of twenty-one he
was fitted for the bar, and was admitted
to the practice of law in Lamoille county.
His progress in the profession was very
rapid, and he soon took rank as one of the
ablest and most successful lawyers in the
State. At the age of thirty-three he had
become so widely and favorably known
as a successful lawyer, and as possessing
traits of minds and character which pecu-
liarly fitted him for the Office of jurist, that
he was chosen, by a legislature politically
opposed to him, one of the assistant justices
in the Supreme Court. That position he
has held until this time without variation,
except his gradual promotion to Chief
Justice, which position he was first chosen
to in 1860.

Apotber Rumor az var

The Louisville Journal has q to
which it processes to attach some import
ance, that "a most tremendous quantity
Of powder has accumulated and is still
rapidly a~ccumulating, at Cairo, and that
commissaries', quartermasterS' and med
ical stores are gathered there for a hun
bred thousand men " that the stores have
been ordered South, but that the powder
remains for the present at Cairo The
editor of the journal proceeds to draw
largely upon his imagination, and
paints a vivid picture of the
French being driven from Mexico
BY the arms of the United States. All of
which is the sheerest nonsense-mere sem
sational twaddle. The government has a
considerable army of occupation in the
Gulf States, and while this is the case,
there is nothing to excite remark in the
shipment thither of subsistence stores,
camp and garrison equipage, and munitions
of war. Troops must be fed and clothed
in time of peace as well as in time of war,
and an army without the materieL of war
would be precisely equal to no army at all.
We are not willing to belive that the gov
eminent would proceed against the usur-
per Macmillan and his transatlantic
ally in any such clandestine manner as the
Journatindicates. When the United States
government finds just cause for war it will
make an open declaration of the fact and
act accordingly. And especially would it
be unwise, in Jul opinion, to actively
espouse the cause of the Mexican people
now, when the clamor of the Opposition at
home is about to compel the French mon
arch to deSist from the scheme of subiu-
eating an American Republics The armed
interference of the United States at this
time would only delay the withdrawal of
the French troops, for Napoleon's pride
would not allow him to submit to the ex-
pulsion of his troops by force so long as he
could sustain them there; but that the
early evacuation Of Mexico has been de-
termined upon by the autocrat of the
Tuileries we think there is good reason
to believe.
