EAvEsDRoPPISe is an art of such delicate refine
mcnt that its cultivation among us should be en-
trusted only to the most accomplished teachers in
our public institutions. Their time need not nee
essarly be wholly given to teaching the manly art,
but practical illustration Of its utility might be
afforded, during vacations for instance, by con-
tributing now and then TO the local papers "a few
Serious Thoughts" to which this item may be
added as a serious moral

NIPPED IN THE BUD.-What might have been a

Jail, Friday last prevented by the disclosure
of the plot. Marshal Parke and Mr.. Fyie having
learned Off, were fully prepared on Friday evening
for any uprising, and their promptness alone pre-
vented it. At the examination which followed it
appeared that five or six of the rioters lately SEN

TO fire the oil room on Friday night, and in the

The Massachusetts DIsnster.

One of the most terrible disasters that have ever
been witnessed in Massachusetts, occurred on Satur
day morning May l6 near Northampton. On the Mill
River, small stream flowing into the Connecticut
from the northeast through the towns William sburg
and Northampton, the manufacturing villages of
Williamsburg, skinnersvile, Haydenville, Leeds.
Florence, and Bay State Mills. The waters of this
stream, which mutually rises and falls very greatly in
different seasons have, within few years. been col
eced in two reservoirs, one at Goshen the other at
Williamsburg, whence they are served out to the
factories uniformly the year round. Between and
o'clock Saturday morning the Williamsburg reservoir,
covering an area of nearly 125 acres gave way and
its waters were hurled almost without warning on the
villages below The river valley being very narrow,
not over 600 yards at any point, the waters came
with full force against the dwellings, factories bridges
ETC.. etc., that occupied the valley. About half of
the village Of Williamsburg was almost instantly
swept away, while large portions of Skinnersville,
Haydenville, and Leeds were al so obliterated.
Florence five miles below Williamsburg the country
is more open, and the destruction is proportionay
less. Occurring at so early an hour of the day, it
overlook many who were not yet up. OfthOse, how
ever, who were up and at work, many persisted from
the shortness of the notice they had of the danger
that impended. 1t is estimated that at least $50
lives lost in the food The loss in property is
estimated at not less than Sl5OO,OOO. The damage
was all done within an hour. The stream which had
suddenly swollen in the middle to a height Of fifty
feet, in almost many minutes fell back to FIVE or
six feet, having carried off with it everything that
could be moved, and leaving broad acres Of meadow
land in the lower part of the valley covered with
earth and debris injuring them very largely if not
wholly destroying them. Tho suffering and dcsti-
tuition great but whatever kind hearts and genor
Gus purses and willing hands do, is being done,
and will continue to be done for the relief of the suf
ierers

THE Transit OF VENUs.-On our fourth page
will be found an instructive article on the approach
ing Transit of Venus TO which the attention of the
scientific world is now directed. These Islands
have been selected as one Of the best points on the
northern edge of the transit belt where to station
some OF the corps of observation. On the 25th of
April, II. B. MS ship Tcnedos, while at Vancouver
Island, received orders from London 10 proceed 10
Valparaiso, there to receive on board party of
English, French and German scientists and convey
them to the Sandwich Islands to observe the transit
of Venus. She may be expected here during August.
SUMNER FRUITs.-Mangoes peaches and tama.
rnds have been quite plentiful this year. and are of
rather better quality than formerly. Grapes and
strawberries have been scarce and dear. Figs, We
observe, are again being cultivated near the city,
where for some years past the blight has destroyed
nearly all the trees. This disease seems TO have
passed off, and trees in favored localities are
quite full Of fruit The variety which is liked best
in California is the white Smyrna fig, which we
have never seen growing here Ii is said TO be very
prolific there and bears with more certainty than
the black Turkey variety which We have. There is
for improvement in this rich fruit and also in
peaches, which will grow every where and bear well
PUNAHoU.-The annual examination of this insti.
tuition commenced yesterday noon, and will continue
during to-day, from a. NJ till P NJ, closing with
the gymnasiic and Indian club exercises, which no
one should fail TO witness, it is novelty here,
though practised in some of the American colleges
The exhibition exercises take place at the court
house on Thursday evening, the doors opening at
z O'Clock, and the exercises commencing at $50
The entrance will be at the makai door, The entire
receipts are to be devoted to the purchase OF new
scientific apparatus-philosophical chemical and
which the college is deficient |
Tickets can be procured at the bookstores and at
the door.
