Investigation of the Burning of tn Steam
er City OfNew London.

Norwich, Conn, 20. The official investi-
CATION of the cause leading to the burning of
the steamer City Of New London, was begun
at the Custom House in New London o-day,
before Philo B. Hovey of New London, and
Mr.. Booth of New York, government in
'pectors. The second engineer, the captain.
clerk, second mate, and j. c. Palmer, one of
the passengers were examined. All testified
to the ample fire extinguishing apparatus and
life saving apparatus of the boat. The fire
broke out the second time about fifteen feet
abaft the shaft in the port gangway. 1t was
not five minutes from the time the fire was
discovered, before the whole boat was en-
veloped in flames. The second engineer
testified that he had no idea of how the first
fire originated. The steamers manifest was
produced intact except one page, there was
on it memorandum of six barrels marked
oil" Mr.. Palmer testified that there was
no confusion. Everybody was cool and
worked with will. The investigation was
then adjourned until to -morrow morning

AS the time approaches for holding the an
NAL meeting of the State Agricultural So
cie.y, the Farmer submits some good sug
gestions as to the best course to be pursued.
That it is best to hold an annual exhibition
there can be no doubt. The fairs held at
central locations can he made to pay all pre-
miums and the ordinary expenses of the
Society. The matter of location is an i'm
portant one. At the coming annual meeting
the Trustees should take measures to secure
proposals from any location desiring the State
fair for a term of three years, and they should
so locate at that point guaranteeing the same.
1t will cost but little more to put up fixtures
to be used for three years, than to erect those
to be used but one year; thus making an I'M
mense saving in one of the largest items OF
expense in holding an exhibition. Locations
will contribute literally towards putting up
accommodations to secure the fair for three
wears, that would do little to obtain it for
single season.

This is an age of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude of the
evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
Tor the hair, which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware of the
injury they are producing. These prepara-
tions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent Of the Dos
ton Medical Institute, who has been q sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than o
quarter of a century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure thepub-
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without possibility of injury.
81 have tested a sample Of DR.. Greens's Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
injurious matters erist in IL.
c. T. JACKSON, State 44ssayer."
The use of this Hair Restorer for twenty
five years has tested its superiority as o dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in a healthy condition. 1t removes
dandruf, prevents the hair from falling of,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, DR..
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. It is
prepared by DR.. r. Greene at the Medical In
stitute, "a Temple Place, Boston, and sold at
81 per bottle, or six for S., or sent by ex-
press to any part Of the country. Pamphlet

1t was our privilege the other day to look
in upon the air-compressing machine at
Brunswick, near the bridge between that
town and Topsham, where it is proposed to
manufacture the air we breathe and the vari-
GUS substances forming the atmosphere into
power for driving machinery. small
wooden building has been erected on the
burnt district in which has been placed the
machinery, which is driven by water power.
An iron supply tank, about five feet in di-
ameter and twenty-five feet long, is placed in
a horizontal position and kept half full of wa
ter. Two large air pumps, in constant mo-
ton, supply the suction air pipe which enters
the tank at the inclined end. The air is
forced through this pipe into the tank and up
through the solid body of water, into the open
space at the elevated end of the tank, which
acts as an air chamber. FROM thence the
air is forced through the q inch leading
pipe, of iron, that is laid up Main street to
the depot and which is intended to be tapped
at various points to accommodate those who
desire power to run machinery. 1t may APP
pear a contradiction of terms, but the air is
made to pass through water for the purpose
of drying it. 1t is not necessary to lay the
pipe below the action of the frost, but only
deep enough to place it beyond the danger of
being damaged by travel. There are various
places along the pipe where connections may
be made by means of a half inch pipe. Mr.
S. A. Perkins, the superintendent of the
works, is confident that the company have
facilities here for supplying the whole town
with motive power. The experiments that
have already been made, although on small
scale, seem to justify the company in pushing
forward their enterprise. This is the only
machine of the kind in the State, and if it
works well it must in time supersede steam
for all stationary machinery, as it can be
furnished at much cheaper rate, and is very
convenient, being always athand and ready
for use. The trial of this power at Bruins
wick will be watched with interest.
