How long oxygen has existed in this

How long oxygen has existed in this
world it might overtask our arithmetic to
tell; but it was not discovered until Aug.
l, 1774. Rev. Joseph Priestley has the
honor of being the discoverer. That
event dates the starting point in the mar
velous advances which the science of
modern chemistry has made, the result
of which has almost completely revolu-
tionized the commerce and industries of
the world, besides their important bear
ings upon the progress of the other
sciences. A martyr during his life to his
obnoxious notions, fugitive from En-
gland and scarcely tolerated in America,
the "Priestley centenary celebrations"
here and there, are just now bringing him
fame and plaudits in plenty. -

By far the most brilliant and enjoyable party of the season was held at the pala- tial residence of MT. Julius Morehouse Monday evening, Feb 10th. It was given in honor of the Sharon Literary Society, in which the daughters and sons of mine host had taken prominent part. AS the society had decided to hold no meetings during the Lenten season, ard wisely rec ognizing the necessity of mental and phys ical development accompanying each oth- CT, the invitation of mine host was gladly accepted, to hold grand finale at bis resi-
 Gence and relieve the mental strain conse- quent upon months of arduous labor in de- bates, compositions, etc., by a wholesome indulgence in the perhaps no less labori
 ous, tut more collaborating and refreshing, terpsichorean art. About fifty couples re- sponded to the invitations, and at an early hour the ample halls and spacious parlors presented gratifying scene of beauty and gayety, and when at the proper time mu- sic in the large dancing hall invited the dis
 ciples of Terpsichore to attend, there were noEe to disobey the summons no, not one. All were prepared to sustain their parts in this final exercise, and how well lovers done, and how thoroughly enjoyed, can better be elucidated by the remark, (which beg you will not consider origi- nal,) They ripped the light fantastic toe till tie wee sma hours, etc., and took their leave, with many thanks to mine hest and family for affording them so truly enjoyable occasion.

A New Trout Picture.

Hartford has long been recognized as the art-center of the state, and her list of pro- fessional artists, comprises names of which she is justly proud. And, aside from the strictly professional artists, we have some amateur painters who do most eredltable work. Aspccimen of this amateur execu. ton may now be seen at Glazier's art gal, lery. in the shape of a trout picture by Thomas Sedgw;ck Steele, of the firm of T. Steele 6 Son, jewellers. The painting rep resents trout, weighing about a pound, suspended from nail by fy-hook or brown hackle, as the anglers call it: The picture Is ireally an excellent piece of work. The drawing is careful and accu- rate, the colering remarkably fine, and the shadow effect upon the wall very happily managed. The picture is one that will at tract attention, and is the more commend able from the fact that it is entirely gaslight work, having been painted at leisure mo- ments during the evenings of the past win ter. showing an unusual eye for color on the part of the artist. It will remain on exhibition for day or two longer. Hart ford Post.

Grand Opera. The Kellogg Grand Eng. fish Opera will give an entertainment in the Winsted Opera House Thursday even ing next, (March 5th). Our exchanges speak of this troupe of sirty.fge artists as an array of talent not often seen together in one entertainment. They allude to this opera as one of the grandest that ever wis tied the country. The Hartford Courant, in speaking of it's anticipated visit to that city says:
 A very great interest, both in and out of Hartford, IS felt in thls Operatic entertain ment, and there will be very lively call for seats as soon as tho chart is opened.
 Extra trains will be run on the Conn. Western railroad, and will return after the entertainment. Only half fare will be charged.
 Ct. Barrtngton.-The Hope fire com pany of Ct. Burlington, Mass, gave their sixth annual ball at Sumner Hall on Tues day evening, Feb l7th. It has been our fortune to participate at many similar fes- tivities, but seldom have we attended a gathering of this kind where everything passed off so smoothly and tremendously. The hall was tastefully and beautifully trimmed, and in the center, suspended from the ceiling, was the wa,chword of human life, which is also the company's name, CHope, ) done in evergreen letters and illuminated by colored lights, the eff feet 0t which was superb. At the farther end was the stage which occupied the whole width, and was devoted to the uses of the band, and to such of the elite of the city as, having passed the hey day of youth, still love to contemplate from an eligible position, and comfortable seat, the graceful gyrations of their more juven- band; what shall we say of that? Lan- guage is inadequate to express our feelings! So in simplest phrase we remark, the mu- sic was pre-emlnently, incomparably, sat issactorily-perfect When we say it was Prof. Ed. Lees band from Hudson, no will doubt us. The supper at the Miller House was such as would warm the heart of an anchorite, and bring a smile of inef- fable content to the lips of an epicure The attendance was large, and, of course, as cosmopolitan as is our population, yet the absolute polteness and quietness of every one constantly reminded us that we were in the state of Constabulary Law. In conclusion we wish to say that, tho not of kingly blood, the young gentlemen of Ct. Barlrngton merit the title of Princes of good fellows if any ever deserved such name; we were never better, nor more at tentively entertained, nor was our enjoy ment ever more thoughtfully promoted. We desire to thank them sincerely.

HINTS FOR ADVERTISERS. public know when an advertiser is timid and half scared and when he means business, and believes in himself and his goods, and it will act accordingly. Many an advertiser misses a near-at-hand success by quitting too soon. The public won't rush in and buy you out the first day; it has other things to think of. Some will read your announcement and buy at once; others will glance at it one week, read 1t the next and buy the third; others will be haunted till they are, at last, obliged to look you up to ease their minds, and you are meanwhile making your name and business familiar to tAousands who will como to you sometime. Pay no attention to silly notion, encour- aged chiefly by people who have got tobe prosperous, that it is not quite the proper thing to push your business through the newspapers. It Is just as legitimate as putting sign over your door, and far more modest than sending out drummers to worry people into trading with you, for ysur newspaper advertisement addresses no enc in particular, and whoever buys your goods in consequence of it really does so without your asking. -HIrtferd Post.

The Farmers Friend.

The Agricultural Insurance Co. of Wa tertown has attained it's majority. From its start to the present time it's career has been uniformly successful. During the first ten years no efforts were made to ex- tend its business beyond it's own and few adjoining counties. In 1863 it's entire as- sets were less than $96, ,000 .00, and at the clcse of 1874 they figure up the grand to- tai of $S24, ,000.00. During these twenty one years the company has paid in losses $l, PIP, 4S0.o0, yet has aeoer insured, or lost, dollar on any but farm pro perty and private residences and their contents, and never lost $5, ,000 by any one fire, sweeping or otherwise. The sweeping fires of the last few years, destroying millions ot dol lars worth of property, and rendering worthless thousands of Policies upon the homes of our people, arc convincing proofs of the wisdom of the "Agricultu- ral's" plan of separating dwellings and farm property from business hazards. To farmers and owners of dwellings these facts are of importance, and when to them may be added, that the Policy of the Az riculturar can be had for Jess rate than that charged by companies doing a general business, what man will hesitate to place his insurance with company which abso- tutety cannot fail in which there is no chance for an assessment, and which for a generation has so ably demonstrated lts ability to not only meet it's liabilities, but roll up so handsome surplus.

The friends of Capt. Charles Wright made him their annual visit on the occa- sion of his birth day, on the l4th instant. That Capt. Charles was a very welcome valentine is fact all will acknowledge. This party of friends alluded to above, found this venerable old gentleman, as they always do, in the best of spirits, and most happy to welcome them, as was also the welcome of his worthy spouse most cordial. After partaking of the bounte- ons redast, at winch jokes and repartess were exchanged freely; the Captain giv- ing and receiving the same with an equal relish with the rest, the party listened to the most excellent music furnished by Misses Fannie Hinman, Hattie Morris, En- ma Blodgett and others, which was indeed charming. The Captain said it was the happiest and every way most enjoyable birthday of his life, and that he may see many more of them was the unanimous wish of the party. Mir. Wright was born and brought up on what was once known as the Nelson Fuller farm in Salisbury. He is now seventy years old, and is not only full of years, but is full of hon or. Long may he live to enjo y the happy gatherings as the years roll around and mark the rec ord of tune. SARI.
