Daring Crimes Increasing-The
 TramPs.

There is sudden and alarming increase in the number and character of bold rob- berries on the highway and by confedera te thieves who boldly enter private houses, bind and gag the inmates and then plunder the premises, Two or three of the latter cases have occurred in New York city in the day time, this week; two or three murders have been committed in country
 places by tramps who met with opposition in committing acts of robbery. Thursday night bands of these prowlers-for we be- lieye the mass of begging tramps who are overrunning this part of the country arc also, If not already desperate thieves, at least quite ready to join some robber band were busily operating at places up the Hudson river, not far from Poughkeepsie. They break into barns and steal horses and carriages; they break into houses and gag the inmates and rob the premises. On reach ipg the country house of Clara Louise Kel. logg thep were repulsed by shot from a loaded gun, which wounded one of their number. Vigilance committees are organ iz.ng, and these will hang the scoundrels, whenever they catch them, to the nearest tree. The northern states are fairly over run with an ever-increasing army of tramps who have resolved on one thing-that, come what will, they will do no more work, even if work is offered. 7Imes.

Sometimes the Divine Master seems to look with especial favor upon His children, and when their active life work is accom- plished He does not keep them long from their reward. Thus it has been with her whose loss we now mourn. Mrs. Coggs- wells life was rounded, completed, perfect ed. It's story need not be told. She was that noblest of all beipgs-a true Christian woman one whose whole life was spent in aiding others. Her loss will be felt as but few others could be. Not only in her sorrowing family, where Mother has been SO long the centre of love, but in tue church and community wherever she her self was known. And yet, while we mourn, we can but rejoice she has entered into rest. Her death was fitting close to her life. There was no protracted struggle she had simply finished her work, ,and when the dread hour came she closed her eyes as quietly and trustingly as for nights re- pose, and slept that sleep He giveth His beloved Her life was her dying, as it has been her living, testimony.
 Children" said the mother of the Wes- leys, "when am gone sing hymn of praise." And what can these children and this sorrowing husband do but follow that example! Our hearts ache with sympathy for them, but we give joy to the sainted spirit that has flown, and with hearts full of thanks for the beauty of her life, we would rear as her only inscription, that glorious tribute of the Master's-''She hath done what she could"

More Law.-Assistant Postmaster Del fiber now closes the mails thIec-quNrters Of an hour before train time. He says the LAW is to close them thrcC-quarters Of an hour before, and the LAW gives him quarter of au hour to mako up the mail and half an hour for the bag 10 lay on thc floor locked. This arrangement is parIcr- larly interesting to people who may find if necessary to write and mail replies on tl.e 2.4l p. ID. train, to letters received by the 1.l9 mail, and which is not open till from 20 minutes to quarter to two o'clock. If less was said about LAW, and more atten- ton given to the accommodation of the people, there would be far less complaint heard from all quarters than now. Law is all very well, but to be compelled 10 take 50 frequent and large doses of it; and from such a source, is humlliating to say the least.

He closed by saying that he had never expected to live to enjoy the privilege of meeting so large number of relatives upon that sacred spot, and he never would meet them again on this side of Heaven; and he bade them all an affec- tionate farewell. There were few dry eyes when he closed. Old Coronation was then sung and was followed by prayer, in which the clergyman rehearsed the many event full years which had intervened since that early settlement, and offered thanksgiving for the remarkable preservation of so many through the hardships and deprivations of the past At the close we all joined in singing, Praise God from whom all bless ings flow, and with many fearful parting, dispersed.

Roberts of the firm of Bull, Rob erts & Co.,, were driving through Flanders, the horse belonging to MT. N. became frightened, threw the men out and ran. Neither were seriously injured, although MT. R. said next day he felt as if he had been through 8 coffee mill, and if all did not know him to be decided peace man, one might fancy from the marks and 5ruis es on his countenance that he had been en- gagged in quarrel......It is rather late to speak of the festivities of the fifth, SO I will only say that the fair, and all connect ed with it, was. success. Three hundred dollars was the amount taken in, of which two hundred and fifty remained after all

 A delightful shower passed over our place Monday. The rain fell in torrents and the thunder and lightning was unusually se- were. MT. B. Sherman living near this vil- lage, was stricken down while returning from the hay field his horse was killed, and the rake upon which he was seated was torn in pieces. MT. Sherman was taken up for dead, but proved to be only stunned and was soon around again. Another ac- cident not as serious, but quite as disagree able, occurred in the lower part of the town. As Messrs. Henry Booth and I. N. Bartram were returning from little busi.- ness trip, they were overtaken by the show CT and came home decidedly 'wilted' MT. Booth found his good wife with all 4hipgs in readiness for his comfort; but poor MT. Bartram, being but pilgrim and stranger, looked the picture of despair. They at first thought to hoist him in on the derrick, but he repaired to the clothing store and soon came out as good as new... Farmers are busy gathering their hay crop, which is very light......Hotels and boarding houses are fast filling up with city people......M J. Bostwick has just arrived from her west ern home.

Bartram, the contractor of this noble structure, has taken the pier and abutments to build for two new bridges across the Housatonic river-one between New Milford and Bridgewater and the oth CT between Bridgwater and Brookfield. The span of each is about 25O feet. These bridges were carried away by the freshets of last spring.

Bachelder, a copy of "Popular Resorts, and How to Reach Them ," large splen- didly bound book of 36l pages, devoted exclusively to description in detail of all the noted resorts in the United States. The work is profusely Illustrated with very fine engravings of the places alluded to; every resort of any note being truthfully repre- sented by Q beautiful and finely wrought cut; and the typography of the book in general is unsurpassed. It is not guide book, but rather gazetteer of pleasure travel in the United States nor is it con- fined 10 summer resorts, but gives interest ing and valuable information of the many places in the Southern states frequented by northerners during the winter season. All the various routes are described, and every thing tourist requires to know to aid him in selecting place to spend his vacation,is is here found, and is arranged with that tact peculiar to some authors it amuses and entertains while 1t instructs. It is beau tiful table book, and especially valuable as a souvenir of travel, and the demand for it
 last year determined the publisher to make it standard work, and issue it annually, each year adding to the Illustrated depart ment The price of the book is S2.Oo, and will be sent free of expense by addressing George A. Foxcroft Jr., the general agent for its sale, Nos. Al and 45 Franklin street, Boston, or at any of the bookstores.

New State House.

At the last session of the legislature the
 present plans and estimates (amounting to $2, 300, ,oOo), for the new state house were approved. The commissioners have ac- cordinglY made contracts for fire proof and improved building, regarding the esti- mates, and in no case exceeding them. The state had appropriated only million of dollars. The Finance committee now re- port bill appropriating the other million,
 (the city of Hartford paying the remaining half mlllion). The resolution confines the commission to an expenditure of not ex- ceeding $4Oo, ,ooo in any one year. This probably is just about the sum that the commission would expend annually, as the proper progress of the, work will require that amount of money from the state, and we think not much if any more. The building will be finished for the sum esti- mated, viz., $2, 500, ,OO0.-Hartford Tunes.

EDITOR NEws.-In beginning letter to you we take it for granted you will like to hear something of the farmers prospects for the coming harvest in East ern Iowa.. Our prospects at this time are very good for all the grain crops produced here; but the, apple crop will be very light: small fruit is good. Have been hay ing continued strawberry festival from the 10th of June until the 9th of July. At supper one evening we had twenty-five per sons besides our own family. We picked and sold next day over two bushels of ber- ries. Our patch is one rod wide by fifteen long. We are now having plenty of rasp
 berries to use every day, also plenty to can for winter use. Of grapes we will have ! an abundance. There have been no hard storms, either of wind or rain, in this sec tion of the country, but our principal streams are high, caused by heavy rains in the northern portion of the state. Cattle and hogs are bringing very good prices. Horses from this section mostly shift to Boston.

 see the iron business is slightly on the rise in your vicinity as we'll as In other parts of the country, but a return to pros
 porous times in the business must, think, be slow. In my short visit last yesr to Salisbury and vicinity, noticed many i'm provements in washing and preparing ore for smeltings yet all of them combined would not compare with the one I intro duced, or ln fact invented in 1842, to wit !: blasting Unaer water by connecting the pa- tent fuse, previous to that tune only being used in place of the needle for safety in priming. My invention was the pitched cotton sack to hold the entire charge and keep it dry, using the fuse as priming by connecting it with the sack. the thing was complete, and with it the first charge was fired by me in Grldley's ore bed at Armenia, N. Y. Scon after testing the thing fully, and proving that powder could be used un der water without the use of tin tubes, Mr.
 Bradley, then of Salisbury, now of Ann Arbor, Mich, called on me in company with some other person-perhaps J. Van Deusen, whose business at that time was mining-and then and there demonstrated the thing to their entire satisfaction, and l from that time it was put to general use | throughout the entire country. As most of the ore now used is in or under water, will leave it to those in the business to de- termine it's value in dollars and cents from it's first introduction to the present time

A cool headed man however, jumped upon scat and shouted there is no fire,' while large number soon got out into the street and the jam at the doors and windows was relieved. The audience soon returned to the performance. During the panic several women tainted and a number of persons were quite badly crushed. Had not the fire been speedily extinGulshed the loss of life would have been great.
