Sheffield N0. y.

For fear ths't moss grown Sheffield will
 be entirely for gotten, will this week men, ton few happenings, not expecting they will prove very interesting. Everything has been very quiet most of the time of late, however more drunkenness is to be seen than has been before in years. Licen- ses are common and liquor plenty...... One man-Mr. Rider-had his leg broken while working on the road. An Irlshman who was helping him, got drunk and became so unrulv that MT. Rider, trying to manage him, got the worst of it, the man falling on him and breaking his leg. For few Sun days past the Irish have had gatherings in that part of the town called New Guinea for the purpose of playing ball. Last Sun day they had made arrangements for a large play. A number of men from Canaan and many from our town were collected there they had barrel of beer on hand for sale, and everything promised grand time, when suddenly the constable accom- panied by two or three other men, appeared and put an end to their sport, to their grea, disappointment. City boarders are begin. ming to come, although the hotel is not full
 yet, it being very large and capable of ac- commodating great number. .... Several private families about town have opened their houses and got as many boarders 8! they can conveniently accommodate.
 The weather is quite cool enough for com
 fort. Sunday night there was some frost

Nor AFRAID OF BURGLARs.-Another Brooklyn man has been found who was not afraid of burglars, and although in his re- sistancehe unnece ssarily lost his life, while the burglar escaped, the affair ought to be classed with the several other recent brave resistances that go to show burglars that their business is too perilous for them. Mir. Aaron Shute of Brooklyn heard 8 robber in his room, and leaping out of bed grappled with him at once. They fought fiercely, and finally Mir. Shute got the burglar under. Just then the latter drew pistol and put ball di- rectly through the others head. Having mortally wounded him he then groped his way out of the house all covered with the blood that had poured over him. He was traced by blood marks little way, but f. nally disappeared. Had MT. Shute been able to put hls own name into practice, had he slept as every man ought to sleep, with loaded pistol within reach, he would al once have put the burglar out of the possi- bility of harming him. The murdered mans wife. who was in the room, gave { vigorous alarm after the affair was oyel which would have been more effective il sounded little earlier It is to be hoped that MT. Shute's unfortunate fate will con- vince other persons of the need of having arms and using them for just such emer- gencies. ford Courant.

The ocean Telegraphs.

The completion of another ocean tele . graph line, which was announced on Thurs day. scarcely causes ripple of public in terest, SO readily do we get accustomed to the marvellous. The event, however, is none the less important to the commerce and intelligence of the world. It will be remembered that the last Atlantic cable, generally known as the direct cable. was expected to be completed last year; but when it had been laid within two hundred miles ot Nova Scotia, bad weather coming on and the steamship Faraday, which had it on board, sprung aleak, the work was given up. The cable was cut and buoyed, and left with apparently as much conf dence that it could be found again when wanted as our city engineers might show with regard to an uncompleted water or gas pipe. The result shows that this con- fdence was justified, for the connection this year was easily made and the laying of the remainder of the line has been compile ted without difficulty. Although this last is called the direct line, it is really the long est, except one, of the whole five Allan tic cables now in operation, which, with their dates of laying and their lengths, are as follows:
 1s66-lreland to New Foundland... 1896 1S69-Brest to Duxbury, Mass, via
 St. Pierre. ................."....333O 1s7s-Valentia to Newfoundland ......19oO lS74- %. ...19OO 1875-Direct cable. 3g60
 Although these are longer than all the other ocean telegraphs- the one from St. Vincent to Brazil. 1853 miles in length-they form but portion of the az gregate length of the whole. A recent good telegraphic authority mentions no less than twenty-nine ocean lines, none of which is less than 800 miles long. Nine of these were laid in the year 1870 alone, which ap- pears to have been the great cable year, aa then the telegraphic communication oi Europe with Asia was mainly completed, This account does not take in one hundred and eleven ocean cables which are short oi 800 miles in length. As respects capital the heaviest of tho ocean telegraph compa nies is that of the Anglo-A compa ny, comprising five cables, and having capital of $55, ,ooO, 900. Next comes thu Eastern Submarine, operating from Eng land to Bombay. with capital of $l5, 900, 900; and third the West India and Panam Telegraph company-Cub to West Indi Islands and South Amerlca-$9, ,5OO OOo The complete belting of the globe wit

Saw Legs, Crops, Etc. in Iowa.

CONN. WESTERN NEWS :-1n your col umns, which I occasionally have chance to read, take much pleasure in reading the correspondence contained, and in yours of May 14th I observe that your Ellsworth correspondent makes mention of large oak log, twelve feet long, which Daniel Hall sawed, containing $50 feet, and adds that Messrs. Conner 6 Studley sawed a white oak log twelve feet long, containing "A feet. This is truly large log. Now, as am Connecticut boy, 1 suppose that I may be permitted to speak for myself and for my adopted home, although am standing on Iowa soil.
 At Daniel & Slade's mill, which is situa- ted on the banks of the majestic Cedar river, in the town of Waterloo, Blackhawk county, Iowa, we sawed on the 18th day of April one white oak log which contained 1907 feet of No. lumber; and on the same day we sawed burr oak log ten feet long containing 656 feet, and this was the second log from the stump, being one ot three logs taken from tree for which they paid thirty dollars in the timber. The butt log made much more, but have not the exact figures with me; and the top log made more also, as that was twelve fee long. This burr oak tree was thirty-fvt feet to the first limb. We also sawed th' same week black walnut log which made over 14O0 feet of lumber.
 The weather has been splendid, but rath CT dry until the last week, during whicl time we have had some very fine showers All crops are looking we'll.
 I see in your columns many familia names. ever rejoice at their prosperity while sympathize with those who are il diversity. hope dear Sir, that as Litch field county was my home, and is endeare to me by many fond recellections, that am not presuming too much in addressln you these hastily written lines,

Hurried Alfves

The driver of paupsr cart has just been arrested in New Orleans under singular cir cumstances. On the 25th ult. young col ored man died. or is said to have died in the smallpox hospital of that city. The body. was put into a rough coffin and started in Another coffin, containing child, was in the same wagon. In passing through the streets number of persons were attracted to the wagon by seeing the lid of the coffin containing.the body of the man removed and hand appear from the aperture. The wagon stopped and the driver proceeded to replace the lid, when the following scene occurred, the facts being substant tiated by a half dozen persons who witnessed it. A Mrs. Smith says: .. ....
 ''The wagon stopped, and I thought it had broken down. A friend called me out into the street to see. went close up to the wagon, and then saw two coffins-one for baby, the other for grown person. The coffin for the grown person was open. the lid being partly off. saw distinctly the man in the coffin moving his hand, try ing to push off the lid. The driver took the cushion off his seat and put it on the mans face, and sat down on his head. In this position he sat for a square, when he stopped again and took hammer and tried to nall down the lid. He then took the ba- bv's coffin and put it on the top of the mans feet and sat on him again. The dri- yer said to me in an angry tone 'What do you want here2' I said wanted to see, and he answered: Get away before slap you in the mouth.' said, You are carry ing live man to the graveyard He drove on and l followed the wagon. but was not allowed to enter the cemetery"
 Another woman, Mrs. Thompson, states that she saw the man raise his arms, put out his hands. and try to get up out of the coffin that the driver pushed him back with great force, and then sat on his head while he drove on A crowd of witnesses 1 state that the man was alive while being conveyed to the cemetery, though the sex ton says he was certainly dead when he ar- rived on the ground. It seems almost be- yond belief that such inhumanity should exist but if any reliance can be placed in the word of the witnesses, this worse than savage barbarity, was certainly exhibited as related. The hanging of monster guilty of such fiepdishness would be mild punish 1 ment for the crime.

 Jack Frost paid us a visit last Sunday night and left his marks on the tender plants and early vegetables. It is hoped the old disagreeable chap may keep his dis tance for the next four months 1.-The new Presiding Elder, Rev. MT. Goss. off, ciated at the M. E. church at the quarterly meeting services on Sunday last. The i'm provements on this church are now finished and the exterior corresponds to the inside appearance......The town of Sheffield was disgraced by an open act of Sabbath break ing last Sunday. A party of roughs from the land of Canaan, 'tis said, came up and spent the day in base ball playing with a company of like characters in tais town. We learn that this took place in the locali- ty known as New Guinea, and if reports are correct the town authorities must of course act in accordance with the law and arrest these Sabbath breakers. ... Mir. Rider, I the road commissioner, met with sad ac- cident last week while at work upon a sluice in the village. He fell and broke his leg badly......The people in this street were much amused the other day when an afflict- ed Irishman made calls at several houses in quest of the woman who helps to get up the papers, as he expressed it. Arriving at last at the place where such literary person is supposed to reside, he was asked his business with said correspondent, he re- piled Me wife has left me and I want to post her! Being informed that the editor wrote all those pretty things, he drove off in haste to see the editor, whipping his horse unmercifully as he went. We con clude his wife had just cause for desertion. .....As there are many in this town who were once students at Amenia Seminary, would like to call the attention of all such persons to the fact that an Alumni Reunion takes place at the old seminary June 24th, at2P. M It is the 4Oth anniversary of this most excellent boarding school, and it is hoped goedly number of her sons and daughters who have been absent for years, may return at this time to the old and cher.
 ished spot for day. We know they will find in Prof. Frost, it's present principal.
 genial host, who cordially invites all to return. This school has been. Ss and will
 ever remain one of the best,in our opinion. LUNA.
