A New INvENTIoN.-Mr. Gustav Schu-
macher has applied for patent on new doub-
le registering thermometer which he has Just
invented. 1t is much n the form of sextant,
and has three indicators, one making the tenn
perature as it falls or rises one registering the
point of extreme cold during the day, and the
third Of extreme heat during the same time.
Whoever chooses can hang the instrument out
of doors during twenty-four hours, and on
taking it in will find the points of extreme heat
and cold registered. The result is obtained by
the use of vulcanized rubber and meta, neither
mercury nor spirits being employed, the expan-
sion and contraction of the substances used in
the construction serving to mark the variations
of temperature,

Miss Blanche Howard, the Bangor authoress,
will be regular correspondent of the Boston
Transcript during her st ay abroad.
Eli Jones, the veteran Friend missionary,
met with an accident which rendered him
senseless, at Birmingham railroad depot, Eng
land. After few days he proceeded to Lon
don.
Seeing statement in parer to the effect
that the Maine Central was becoming too inde-
pendent to care for its patrons, Mr.. TIL. Wig
gin of Levant, takes occasion to refute the as
sertion BY the following illustration: "On the
night If Sept. 20tb, 1875, as the train from
Boston came into Portland, the conductor
stepped into the car in which / was seated and
said, This car goes to Bath 1 left the
car, forgetting to take a valuable bun
die from the rack where had placed it, and
went about my business in towo Missing the
bundle went directly to the Office OF Superin-
tendent Tucker and informed him of my care
lessness in leaving the bundle. He received me
courteously and Immediately telegraphed to
Bath, to find the bundle, if possible, and send
it to Brunswick. AS preceded it to Bruns-
wick, left my address there, and the bundle
was expressed to me at Levant, and this the
Maine Central railroad did without Ieguital
from me"

THE BARBER CAsE.-Judge Knight delivered
an opinion in the barber case in the Municipal
Court, yesterday morning, He said that the
case was not question whether or not a man
may shave, or be shaved, on Sunday, but
whether man should keep ''open shop to do
business on that day. Shaving and hair-cutting
cannot be said to be such works of necessity as
the makers of this statute meant to except FRI m
its prohibitions; and if a man whose shop is in
hotel can keep open there is no reason why
everybody else may not keep open. That we
think differently as to the Sunday law from
our ancestors is plain, but we ought to have the
courage to say so in the laws themselves, and
not set them asi ie or evade them. The Su-
pleme court can give construction to this
statute that will be sound and enduring; but it
would not be becoming for a court of inferior
Jurisdiction to cut off such opportunity to pas s
upon the qaestion by annulling the statute
The respondent was fined one cent and costs,
and an appeal was taken. The shops will con-
tinue to keep open as before
