History of Salisbury.

EDITOR NEws.-The celebration of the one hundredth anniversary ot the first town meeting held in Salisbury, took place in November 1S4l. At that time the Hon. Samuel Church. subsequently, Chief Judge of the Supreme court of Connecticut, de- livered an address embodylng many facts and incidents relating to the history of the town from it's first settlement, as far as he could gather them from the records of the town, and from the statement of the older inhabitants then living. Nearly third of Century has elapsed since that period.
 With one exception perhaps, all of the aged, and great number of those in the prime of life have passed away. have thought sir, that it might interest large number of your readers, and also be of much service to those who may come after us. that incidents that have occurred since that period should be preserved in the col umns of the NEWS, and not left without 8 more enduring record than traditions han ded down from one generation to another. Perhaps no one person would be willing to devote the time necessary to give full general history of the town, but some may perhaps be found to give statistics relating to certain branches. am very much grat- flied that you have commenced the good work, by your publications respecting the great iron interests of the town and hope that we may not only see in your columns a continuation of your articles in regard to that interest, but also from time to time, relating to our church organizations, our public schools, our charitable and humane institutions. Here let me say, that Dr.
 Knight, see has commenced series of articles, respecting the education and i'm. provement of imbeciles. He will undoubt. edly give fund of information, on sub
 ject that is perhaps not fully understood by many. Let us have also history of the part this town took in the overthrow of the great Rebellion. The above sugges
 tions are made with the hope that they may meet with favorable response, and trusting that we shall see in some of the future issues of the NEWS facts and incl. dents relating to our local history, worthy of remembrance. N.

Horse Exhibition.

The thirteenth annual fall meeting of the Union Park Horse Association in Falls Village on Thursday, was one of the most successful! exhibitions ever held on these grounds. The day was all that could be desired, clear and just comfortably warm, and early the myriads began to assemble. To make an estimate of the number in attendance, that would approximate to any thing like accuracy is beyond our ability. Although last season the attendance on the the Horse day, was very large, it is freely asserted that on Thursday it was far In excess of that, or any other day slnce this organization was formed. At about II o'clock A. NJ. an excursion train of six long passenger cars we'll loaded with pas sengers arrived from Bridgeport, also the morning train from Pittsfeld left a large share of its load. The trotting throughout the day was equal to the expectations of everybody, being indeed very fine. We are not able this week, on account of the lateness of the hour after the trnts for the day were ended, to give the results of the many and various contests. Next week,
 we expect to publish then in full. One of the races however, which to uS appeared to be the prettiesl of tine day, We will make brief mention. The two double teams entered for the purses of $60, and $50, owned by the Hon. Wm. H. Barnum of Lime Rock, and man from Copake, whose name we could not learn, were the only contestants. The first two heats Mir. Bar num's blacks broke badly, but in three others they worked splendidly, without a break during the entire heats, and nobly won the race. In the most important con- test for the day, for the purse of $2oo, four entries were made, but after the first heat, two of the horses were withdrawn, one on account of being lamed, and the other, the"White Swan," probably because he could stand no chance with the rest.

It is quite surprising, at time when al- most everything is done by steam, to know how few people have any correct idea of what steam really is. Let the question, "What are the bubbles which rise through boiling water filled with ?" be proposedto to Q number of all ages and conditions in life, and large part of them, three out of four if not nine out of ten, will answer at once, ''Tbey are filled with air." But how air enough to fill so many and such large bub- bles eyer got into the water, it is quite plain they have never taken the trouble to think. And these same persons will tell you, with equal promptness, that the white cloud which comes from the nose of the boiling tea-kettle, and the whistle of the iron horse on winters morning, is steam.
 Now, both these common notions are wrong. The truth is, the bubbles are filled with steam, which is water changed by heat from a heavy liquid mass, to light, gas-like fluid, just as invisible and quite as light as air. The white cloud is watery vaper.. It was once steam it is true but not now. It is already returned to water whence it came.
 Such is the nature of water. that when an atom of it, lying at the bottom of kettle or boiler, IS exposed to 2l2e of heat it is instantaneously changed to steam and be- comes nearly two thousand times as large as it was before. As Satan, in the garden of Eden, crouching in the form of toad at the ear of sleeping Eve, sprang instantly into the stately proportions of a gigantic man at that touch of Ithuriels spear, SO the tiny particles of water, under the magical influence of heat, suddenly leap from their humble form iuto great his sing bubbles of steam. These, on account of their great lightness, quickly begin to struggle upward out of their watery bed. This great expansion and rapid rising read fly explain the violent agitation of boiling water.-Olioer Optics Magasine.
