Mass will be rendered entire, in addition to the regular church music studies, Professor Palmer to lead.
 We feel that our convention is very far from perfection yet, but great advance is being made, and the teachings of Messrs. Emerson and Palmer are felt in every country church choir. To elevate and i'm prove church music is the real end and ann of the convention, and it is 8 needy and worthy object. So much for music on the Western Reserve; know there arc enthu- siastic musicians in good old Litchfield county who will be glad to know that Or pheus has disciples here and will bid us a cordial God-spced.
 Two of our Jefferson pcople-Mrs Laura Rood Marsh, formerly of Canaan, and Stephen Mcintyre of Salisbury, arc now visiting their old homes in your county. Mrs. Marsh has been away forty-three years but has never ceased to love dear old Con- necticut. can bear personal witness that such attachments are evergreen as New England's pines.

WHAT AMERICA WILL SHow.-There is hardly an industry to the progress of which we have not largely contributed. The cot ton-gin, without which the machine-spin- ner and the power-loom would be helpless, is American. The power-shuttle, which permits an unlimited enlargement of the breadth of the web, is American. The plan ing machine is American. Navigation by steam is American. The mower and reap CT are American. The rotary printing press es are American. The hot-air engine is American. The sewing machine is Amer ican. The machine manufacture of wool cards is American. The whole india rub Der industry is American. The hand-ssw originated, I believe. in America. The ma chine manufacture of horse-shoes is Amer. ican. The sand-blast is American. The gauge-l lathe is American. The only suc- cessful composing machine for printers is American. The grain elevator is Ameri- can. The artificial manufacture of ice which you saw exhibited here two years ago under the name of the Care process was originally invented by Alexander 8 Twining an American. The electro-magne was invented, and immediately after it's in yentlon was first practically applied ir transmitting telegraph signals by Prof. Jo seph Henry, an American. The telegraph ic instrument introduced few years late into public use, and which has since ob tained universal acceptance, was invented by Prof. Samuel F. B. Morse, an Ameri can.-PresSdent Barnard.

Read This NOW.-Sup't Yeomans of the Conn. Western road and Sup't Hecker of the Rhinebeck S Connecticut road have joined hands for grand excursion over those roads from Hartford to Rhinebeck, and on the steamer, "Thomas Cornell" down the Hudson. To morrow, (Fli- day) is the day, and extensive preparations are made for one of the pleasantest excur- sions of the season. One mistake in these combined railroad and steamboat excur- sions is too commonly made, and that is i; desiring to give the excWsionists as much for their money as possible, the routes laid out are sometimes too long; and so much travel is given that it becomes tiresome, but that error Is happily provided against in the excursion for tomorrow. The train will reach Rhinebeck, at the Hudson, at noon, and the sail to Poughkeepsie and return, a distance of not oyer 30 or 35 miles all told, should not at the longest occupy more than three or four hours and the party will un- questionably reach home; at least all living west of Winsted, during the early part of the evening. The scenery of the Hudson is the grandest in America, and is scarcely surpassed in the world, and this opportuni ty for glimpse of it's beauties, will be im- proved by the people of this region.
 The excursion will leave Hartford to- morrow Friday) morning at 7 o'clock. It will reach Collinsville at 753, New Hart ford sos, Winsted S25, West Winsted 8. 30, Norfolk e.55, West Norfolk 9.02, East Ca naan 9.13, Canaan 9.22, Chapinvile 9.34, Salisbury 941, Lakevi'Ie 94G, Ore Hill 9.5l, State Line 9.5G, arriving Tn Rhinebeck at 12 o'clock noon.
 The fare for the round trip, including the sail on the river is, for West Winsted and all stations east of there, $25O; for all stations on the Conn. Western road west of West Winsted $2.OO Now then, lets lay by the cares and labors of our every day lives, and enjoy brief excursion over the new Rhinebeck & Connecticut road and a delightful sail through few miles of the most beautiful scenery cf the Hudson. A good dinner to order can be obtained on board the steamer, or, if that isn't enough !; sling your lunch basket on your arm and come along.

DEAR RNEws.-Perhaps it is little out of the natural order of things to mention the accomplishments of a people before their regular business pursuits, but I think I may trust my eastern cousins to arrange these misplaced facts in their proper relation be = fore making an estimate of us,so will say something of our county musical conven- tion which has just held its autumn session here.
 We are musical people iu Ashtabula county, both yocally and mentally in our own little village of @ thousand people one may count eighty pianos of greater or less value, besides melodeons, organs and small CT instruments innumerable. Almost every thrifty farmer who has family of young people growing up around him has cabi- net organ in his house and some one to play it 1; of course such state of things must conduce to general musical interest and intelligence, however indifferently the means may be used, and their influence is plainly visible in the various musical un- ions and the county convention just men, toned.
 This organization has been in existence some twenty years, holding @ session ot four days every spring and autumn in any town where they might be invited and en- tertainment offered. Until 1872 1t did not gain any great hold upon the people, fol several reasons-poor conductors and light music being chief among them-but in that year Prof. l.. O. Emerson of Boston wat engaged as director and new order oi things came with him. He gave our choil singing and choir singers vigorous rakinl down and taught us the great all-importan truth that church music is to be heard, mol for the music's sake but for the words il underlcs. He also revealed to us by de- grees the beauty of oratorio and operatit music, in particular the former, which ht led with great skill, and best of all with ar understanding heart
 Prof. Emerson led four conventions il succession, during which time there wal great improvement Tn numbers as well a in execution then H. $. Perkins directed two, and at the one just held here in Jeffer son Prof. H. R. Palmer of Chicago wield ed the baton, winning golden opinions ant the utmost confidence from all.
 The chorus now numbers 1o3 singers, al of whom are good readers as well; the, now read choruses from Elijah, Samson, 'Creation,' 'Stabat Mater,' etc. with pcrfec ease, and manifest the same rapid improve ment in other music. At the March con. vention Mozart's world.yenowned Twelfth

They were seen in company (after trying to sell the jewelry) up at the D. S c. depot counting over a large roll of bills, having previously stated that they had no money. They said they wished to take the 9 25 train for Win sted, but were aftcrward seen in George Browns store in the evening calling for an oyster stew for three.

proposed plan for receiving the money had been abandoned and that he should put the money in O white leather satcbel and on the afternoon of certain day he should take a tram for New York should ride on the rear platform and hold the satchel in his hand. If any person along the route sh"uld display white flag in daylight or white lantern at night, he was to drop the satcn,l and at stated time Charlie was to be sent home. If no signal was displayed between Philadelphia and New York, then he was to go to Albany in the same way and to look for the same signal. On the morning of the 3Oth of July, MT. Ross informed Mosher through the Ledger that he was ready, and on the afternoon of the same day he set out on the trip, going clear through to Albany, but seeing no signal. It happened that the story about little Charlie having been seen in Pottsvllle was started on that very day, and the newspapers sta ted that Mir. Ross had gone there to identi- | fly him. Mosher saw this and supposed | that MT. Ross had not kept hls promise hence he notified his confederate not to give the signal. It may be remarked that MT. Ross kept the police authorities advised of his movements. On the same train that bore him to New York and Albany were two sharpshooters with rifles, ready to bring down the man that displayed the sig nal the instant that they got their eyes on him. MT. Ross did not know that these men were on the train. | Negotiations were opened again. and the correspondence was kept up for some months. He made one or two trips to New York to pay over the money according to directions given in the anonymous letters, and advised Mosher of his presence in the city in personal in the Herald, but some thing always interfered to prevent the scoundrels from carrying out their part of the agreement. The vigilance of the de- tectives made them excessively cautious. In the meantime MT. Ross health gave way under the strain upon his nervous sys- tenn and for some weeks he was unable to reply to the letters sent him by Mosher, and before the correspondence culminated in the restoration of the lost child the abduct- ors were sent to their final reward. Ven geance could not suffer them to live. Since their death MT. Ross has received DO anon ymous letters proposing to return his son, and the mystery remains unsolved. If the wretch now on trial knows anything about the boys fate he has thus far refused to tell Ift.l ~

How MATTHIAS VINEYARD WAS NAMED A correspondent of the Baltimore Ameri- can tells iii the following paragraph how Martha's Vineyard got it's name:
 ''I said to an old gentleman whom I met this morning, who is at home here: Why do you call this place Martha's Vineyard ? have not seen either Martha or grapes since have been on this island.' I will tell you,' he replied. You see a long time ago a rich old fellow owned all this coun- try about here. He had three daughters Martha, Elizabeth and Nancy. This island he gave to Martha, and as there was large vineyard upon it he added that name. Ton island he gave to Elizabeth. Nancy said she must have one and claimed the other, now called Nantucket. (Nancy took it. Now if that is not the true explanation of the nomenclature can only say it is as good as was received"
