 Judge Granger will next Saturday ap- point commissioners to appraise the Cross Brook property, which the water company could not bargain for at anything like it's fair value. David Baldwin, the new post master, assumed charge of the office on Monday last. A special agent of the post office department is here examining the money order accounts as kept by Mr. Err win, and there are some unpleasant rumors about town concerning them. ..... The burg lars who broke into the office and blew open the safe week before last, have not since been heard from. Jasper North rop's horse and wagon which was taken by thieves, has been found at Pawling. .... Our base ballists seem to retain the skill of former years. They have proved victorious in every contest this season, and last week with the Woosters of Danbury, they scored 27 runs to 5 by BaileY's Danburians..... Hawkins and Burrall of Springfield, Mass, have the contract for new structure to replace the old town bridge over the Hous- atomic. The summer drouth occasions de- lay in getting out timber, so that they will not complete it, as the bridge company had expected and announced, which puts our agricultural society, whose grounds are on the west side of the river, in tight fix, for they now learn that the bridge, or rather the river, will be impossible at the time they have advertised to hold their annual cattle show and fair, so they have decided not to make any exhibition this fall Q.

Elder Marvin Lutz of New Haven has established new society, the "Free Chris tians, who worship in Shelton hall and have offered him $2,ooo year to act as their regular pastor. The New Haven
 Union thinks MT. Lutz is humbug or worse, and says: "As for MT. Lutz's ser mon last Sunday, it is sufficient to say that it was such as no modest woman should listen to without feeling herself insulted, and that any actor who should use such language as Lutz employed, would be hissed off the stage of any decent theatre in the country. Let respectable women under stand that MT. Lutzs church is no place for them. The saving of sinners is not MT. Lutz's mission in these parts. ."-Erchange.

Japanese Students.

Hino Mono writes to the London Times that all the young men sent out by the Jap anese government throughout Europe and America with the view of applying them selves to the study of different branches of science, have been ordered to return home. The students at present number 600. The government charged the resident minister to make choice among the students, requir- ing the mos: deserving of them to be point cd out and the remainder sent back to Ja- pan. The minister, however, preferred to send all backt advising the government to submit them to an examination, after which those who should have to return to Europe should be chosen.
 The reason fgi7en for the recall is that upon their return from Europe and Amer ica they were unable to bear a satisfactory examination in the studies they were pur suing. The failure is attributed to wan of knowledge of the language of the coun try in which they studied. The Japanese government, acting upon this, resolved te send no more students abroad until sucf time as they have undergone some three ol four years tuition in home colleges, ant can submit to rigid examination in Eng lsh, French or German.

Pine Groos Camp Meeting. - Last Monday closed the most successful series of meetings eyer held in Pine Grove, between Falls Village and Ca naan. The attendance in the aggregate was said to be ever so much larger than any previous year, and every feature was pronounced decided success. During last week, Thursday was said to have brought the largest attendance, but the culmination of all was on the following Sabbath, when it seemed as though the whole country turned out ea naGsse, the roads in all directions be- ing crowded with teams all the morning go- ing, and in the afternoon returning, and the large grounds were everywhere full. As for attempting to feed the crowds, it would seem as though the most hopeful would have become discouraged at the first, but Landlord Van Deusen with his scores of asss sistants pitched in with will and-well- the destruction was great He was eaten l all up clean before he could realize he had made beginning, and yet he started off with a stock of provisions that would gorge an army.
 We spent parts of two days at these meetings; viz, Tuesday and Saturday of last week. In last weeks NEWS we said something of what we saw Tuesday, and have to say that Saturday was similar in most respects to Tuesday, with the excep- tions of larger attendance and considera- ply more interest manifested in the relig- ious exercises. The morning service was conducted by the Rev. MT. Haughhurst of Amenia, who was really an earnest worker. He preached very practical sermon, and in his earnestness seemed to grapple the crowd of consciences before him, and give them good vigorous shaking, awaking them out of their lethargic sleep in sin, and leading them to th6,sk of their souls salvation; and as is always the case with earnest workers at anything, it accom- plished something, as was evinced by the large number who went to the front when the invitation was extended at the close oi his remarks.
 In the afternoon the children were con gregate6 about the stand in large numbers and addressed by Miss Katie Lent of Mil lerton, who conducted meeting of some
 thing like an hour, in manner that would do credi: to one of older experience. Al the close of the regular afternoon service by Rev. MT. McCune, came the prayel meetings in the tents, and if there was any lack of manifested interest in any of ths other exercises of the day, it was fully made up in the meeting in the Cornwall
 Bridge tent between five and six o'clock One venerable colored dame, who had lis tened attentively to the rest for consider able time seemed not able to stand it longe without letting out the pent up feelings ir her bosom against all sinners, and aros,
 and said she ''Had prayed the Lord to mak, it hot for sinners around here, and she knew
 something was going to be done about it.
 Such faith will not go unrewarded.

 There was excitement in Hawkins street, Birmingham, Tuesday morning, caused by the blasting of rock in front of Thomas Walsh's house. Henry Roylan has stone quarry by the roadside, where he has foI some time been blasting. Tuesday, about 9 o'clock, he let off blast that threw a piece of rock weighing over 700 pounds through the side of MT. Walsh's house. Ii broke through the house just under the caves, and then down through the floor into the sitting room, destroying two or three very fine pictures on the wall, just grazing the piano, breaking two or three chairs and doing other damage. A second stone ot smaller size struck the roof of the house. and passing through lodged on the floor, making large hole. Altogether it was a regular smash-up. But very luckily no one was hurt It looks as if MT. Boylan would have quite bill to pay, although it is stated that the usual precautions were taken tc prevent anything of the kind.-BrSsto | Press

Sheffield.


 Camp meeting with it's wearying pleas ures is over, and again we return to our usual routine. It is not my purpose here to give report of the meeting, for every body and his wife was there, (also many of those less fortunate individuals who have no wives but were evidently looking around.") For the study of human nature, no place can be found better than on the camp grounds, for there one sees every va riety of character. While waiting the hour of servlce the other day, we were greatly amused by watching the moving throng about us, and listening, to the confusion of tongues, our attention was called to the nu- mereus lads and lasses who were prone nading the grounds arm in arm, many of them we judge were just entering the 'spooney" age, and thought it high time they decided the question of Time at least, and "to marry or not to marry, that is the question" This public courting to the un- initiated seems wondrously silly, but prob ably to the actors themselves it is bliss. Providence has surely smiled upon the camp meeting this year with clear skies and warm sunshine and it ought to prove a success as we trust it will, when the good seed sown by our faithful ministers has been harvested and gathered......Th is little transpiring in our village at this season which is worthy of note. There are the usual parties to the lakes, Bash Bish and Sage's Ravine, but of all this we write not, it having become too old story......A private residence in the village at the pres ent time occupied by two lone women, was entered by burglar the other night. He succeeded in thoroughly frightening the ladies, who were awakened by the noise of his footsteps on the stairs. They succeed ed in rousing the neighbors without alarm ing the burglar, who came with lights and entered the house through back room, and being we'll armed proceeded to the front where the robber was yet at work. What was their chagrin to find-only an immense rat ! and which was the worst frightened, the rat or the armed force, 'tis had to say. If it only had been genuine burglar, might have made an item of in terest, but as it is, we will imagine it one, or call it NONSENSE.

A Very Valuable Book.

''The Undeveloped West, or Five Years in the Territories.h Being complete his tory of that vast region between the Miss issippi and the Pacific; it's resources, eli mate, inhabitants, natural curioslties, etc., with life and adventure on prairies, noun tains and the Pacific coast. By J. H. Bea- dle. Western correspondent of the OSncSr- natl Commercial, and author of "Life in Utah." etc.
 The National Publishing Go. of Phila- delphia has just issued one of the most re- markable and attractive books of the centu- ". It is we'll known to every one that far beyond the Mississippi, and stretching over half the continent, is vast region which we vaguely term "The Great West"-a re- zion aboundlng in the most wonderful nat ural formations, rich in precious mineral deposits, and offering the greatest attrac- tions to the settler and the tourist. Though so often spoken of, it IS almost an unknown land.
 MT. Beadle went into this region for the avowed purpose of seeing it and describing it, and his journeyings and observations were all governed by fixed purpose, that of discovering and making known the actu- al character, condition and resources of the country visited by him. He first traversed the states of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas, examining the lands and living and conversing with the people of those sections. For five years he kept moving from point to point, exploring the Territo- ries and the great and rich states of the Pa cific coast, ,encountering strange people and innumerable hardships and praying many dangers in his wanderings among the say ages. He visited the rich mines of Colo rado. Utah, Nevada and Idaho; passed into California and Oregon, and there enjoyed peculiar advantages for seeing and investI- gating the resources and curiosities of those remarkable states. He spent considerable time in New Mexico, Arizona and Texas, and his account of his observations and discoveries in those strange and deeply in teresting portions of our country will com mend hls book to the careful consideration of the scholar, as we'll as to all who seek practical information or amusement. His only companions in his travels in Arizona were Indian guides, and for weeks during his explorations in that Territory he never saw the face of 8 white man.
 To prospective emigrants and settlers in the Ear Vest" this history of that vast region will prove an invaluable assistance,

A FOrger Captured

A few days ago James l.. Bliss, Jr., clerk in clothing store, in Providence, observed an advertisement in Leslie's 7nat8trated Newspaper offering $l, ,O0O reward for the arrest of J. H. Horton, who in May last passed a forged certificate of railroad stock on bankers in Lancaster, Pa, realizing from that and similar transactions about $75. .000. Ihe advertisement contained a description and woodcuI of the man want ed. Bliss, having 8 remarkable memory of faces, recognized the picture and descrip tion as that of man who tried to purchase a coat of him few days before. Watch ing, he soon saw him agaln and tracked him to his boarding place. Independent detective George A. Billings was then called on by Bliss, the surprised man was arrest ed, and Pinkerton's detective agency, which advertised, was notified. Parties came and at once identified the forger, and he was rest was kept secret two or three days that an effort might be made to recover $28, 900, over which the prisoner was supposed to have control The injunction of sccresy being removed thls afternoon. it is pre- sumed satisfactory arrangement has been made to secure the money. Horton was boarding with respectable private family on the east side and had succeeded in mak- ing good impression. He was much liked for his genial qualities apd for his skill as an artist with a pen. Various cred itable specimens of his pen work are hang ing up in the house, which he presented tc various members of the family. His prin, oipal occupation while here was to visit the bankers, brokers and board of trade daily and learn the condition of different stocks, appearing to be much interested in stock matters. He was also in correspondence with several New York banks under the name of F. A. Vaughn, which was the name he was known by while here. Upor being taken to the police station Horton was very indignsnt, but after conversation and finding he was thoroughly caught hs quietly inquired what MT. Billings was t get for this operation, and upon being told $l,ooo, held up four fingers, asking: "Hov would that do p saying by writing to Nev York he could get the money here by tn, next night. Of course the suggestion dit not prevail.

The Ocean Balloon.

Messrs. J. H. and M. c. Goodsell, the managers of the ocean balloon experiment, announce the time and place of the depart ure of Mir. Wise on his perilous voyage. The day set is Wednesday of next week, the hour between and P. M., and the place is at the Capitoline grounds in Brook lyn. But all must depend upon the state of the weather, and the resources of the gas company" The managers say:
 "The company have contracted to fill in ten hours, and we believe there will be no difficulty from that quarter. We have ar- ranged for weather signals, and if these in dicate favorable prospect on Tuesday night, Sept. 9.h, for the next 24 hours, we shall commence filling and despatch the balloon as stated"
 Meantime the big balloon will be publicly exhibited at the place named, beginning on Saturday evening and continuing till the start.
 Nor are the @ronauts and the book pub fishers slow to take advantage of the pub lie interest in ballooning, by turning their opportunity to practical account. The re- porter who accompanies Messrs. Wise and Donaldson has prepared "a book for the times," entitled Through the Air and Over the Sea" in which he is to tell us, as the newsboys would cry it, "all about" ballooning. He will also send back-if he has good luck-a ''history" of this trans atlantic balloon voyage, the first of it's kind. A good deal of stress is laid upon the cir cumstance, that hourly details of the prog ress of the balloon are expected to be re- ceived in New York at the office of 11e Graphic, (and inserted also in the forth coming book by means of trained carrier pigeons; but we don't take much stock in the carrier pigeon arrsngement-nor very much, if the truth must be told, in the bal loon enterprise itself. But the book will no doubt be an interesting one. and it is likely to meet with a large sale. It is to be published in this city, by Dustin, Gilman 6 Go.
 The publishers of the Graphis send to their friends of the press specimens of the material of which the balloon is construct ed. It is cotton cloth, very heavily coated with varnish and (seemingly) some other substance. It makes very heavy balloon too heavy, we should say. Judging by the weight of this little sample piece, we should say the balloon would be likely to justify Prof. Henry's apprehensions, and descend prematurely. The Professors fear, however, was based, not so much on the weight of the balloon, as on the con stant tendency of the gas to escape or con nse.-Hdrtford ISnaes:

THE PAY OF CoNDUoToRs.-The Spring field Unson says: In view of the recent arrest of Conductor Jennings of the Bos- ton and Albany railroad for embezzlement, it is interesting to know how large salaries are paid to conductors. On the Boston 6 Albany, all-whether in charge of express or accommodation trains-get $1 200 a year apiece. This Is the most that is paid by any New England road, save the Boston & Providence, which adds $9O0 for every four years faithful service. The express conductors on the New York, New Haven 6 Hartford railroad draw $1,1oo year, and those who run accommodation trains $90O and $1 1000. These latter are the sal aries paid on the Connecticut River rail road.
