 An 1mpostor.-Any one who will trife with the sympathies and generosity of the public as did one George Caul, alias Wm. Ellsworth, who made his appearance in this city last week, deserves to be put to the whipping post. This man Caukplayed one armed dodge in town and collected sum of money. He ordered work at the Press office. poem-'The Empty Sleeve and did not pay for it. His home it is said is in Falls Village, Conn.,, and thither he departed, via the Poughkeepsie & East ern railroad. On the route he collected some S4. 50 because of the supposed loss of his arm in the service of his country. At Millerton station however, the snigger in the fence appeared.

When ordered out of the station at Millerton at night he drew pistol and fired at those who had care of the premises. He was finally arrested and placed in the lock-up.-Poughkeepsie Telegraph.
 Steam Heaters.-Although Pittsield in Berkshire county is but little nearer the north pole than the rest of the creation hereabout, it possesses a climate frigid enough to identify it with latitude parallel with that of Sitka. Exactly why this par ticular locality IS so cold at all seasons of the year we do not know, unless perhaps because it is of much higher altitude. Not withstanding this exceedingly cold climate, the Bradbury, Wilmot & Goodsell Co.,, of Bridgeport, manufacturers of the celebra- ted Gold steam heaters, arc essaying to warm some of them up. This company has just closed contract with the Rev E. H. Purcell, for heating St. Joseph's Catho- lie church in Pittsfield at cost of two thousand five hundred dollars. That the company will succeed in taking some of the frost out of the PittsieId people, those conVersant with the merits of their steam heaters have no doubt. When the new ad- vertisement of this company appears in THE NEWS again, which we expect it will ao very soon, our readers will learn further about these celebrated heaters.
