ble, who has so kindly given to our readers his comments on the Sabbath school les sons, asks for rest of month or two through the hot weeks of the summer. Oul readers, the very large majority of whom have enjoyed exceedingly and profted much by his writings, we are sure will cheerfully grant him this respite from his labors, inas- much as he has partially promised to re. sume on the return of the cooler months. 1t.is no slight task to study and write up such lesson every week, and were it not for the fact of our being able to convince hlm his labors are doing great good in the land, we should scarcely succeed in secur. ing his assistance.
 | A Newspaper Dead.-The Philadel. ph1a-New York Sentry is dead. Its strug- gles were worthy of an existence, but the fate of many newspaper enterprise was the fate of the Sentry, and it had to go down. There probably exists no business enterprise that will in a short time make way with so much money as publishing 8 newspaper, and the receipts must be large and constant or it must die. The Sentry was a good paper. and we are sorry it proved failure. MT. T. Frank McGrath, formerly known in newspaper circles here about, was connected with it as assistant in the editorial department, and has return ed to his old quarters in he sanctum of the Rhinebeck Gazette. Frank is a first-class paragraphist, and good fellow, and we hope he has now good and permanent po- sition, as he deserves to have.
 Arlington Heights.-We have received from MT. R. B. Mitchell. quite well known hereabouts in former years, package of his Centennial edition of the Arlington Heights Gasette and Reag Estate Register, which gives a vast amount of information of special value to all who are interested in real estate in the suburbs of Chicago, be- sides considerable amount of interesting miscellany, quotations from the CONN. WESTERN NEWS and other sensible reading matter.
 MT. Mitchell has engaged quite extep- sively in the sale of property at Arlington Heights, and which is located only few miles out of Chicago.
 A fine cut of Mir. Mitchel's residence al the Heights, and also other engravings adorn the pages of the Gazette. Subscribe for it. The cost will be nothing, and after you have read it, buy a lot on Arlington Heights and build house, and live anc take comfort ''like sixty" If any of MT. M s old friends would like copy of his paper, they will find one on our table te which they are welcome.
 1 Another Field of Tobacco. Last year while passing MT. H. P. Barnum's tobacco field near his residence in Wetaug, we were impressed by the extraordinary fine appear ance of the crop, and alluded to the fact ir THE EEws. The other day while agair passing in the train, we overheard pas senger near us say: "There is the bes field of tobacco have seen this season. Some people will hoe and dlg, prune, water and fertilize all the days of their lives, and things won't grow very well, while others seemingly with no special care or pains ir planting, and with manifestly indifferent attention afterwsrd, will raise large an6 thrifty crops. Seed planted by the latter 'oi1 groa0. Pull it up by the roots and ID vert the plant, putting the roots in the ail and the top back in the ground, and it will turn summersault and get around right side up before harvest time. This may be putting it in language little too strong but the statement at any rate 1eans toward ! the truth. We do not know whether tbs merit is in the land or in MT. Barnum. H. manages to raise an excellent field of tobac co, and don't seem to make any fuss abou it either. MT. Scott, how are your straw berries?
 Martha's Vineyard.-The new exten sion of the Martha's Vineyard railroad iron Katama, the southern terminus, to Soutl Beach, was formally opened on Thursday morning. A large party, including promi- nent residents, and accompanied by band from the Sea View, went down on th, train and from the Bluffs, taking the tril to the beach for the first time by rail. Tn new road is in fine condition, and lands pas sengers directly at the edge of the surf A clambake was irdulged in, and the Fem pie of Amusement, the Lodge and the othe objects of interest, inspected and admired Trains are now running from Oak Bluff I HIroaf1u f0 ho n11Sfn H1,o went to the Vineyard last season from thi region. The Rev. MT. Johnson ot this vii lage is now there. but the number wh will gladden. that delightful resort with thei presence this year from this way, will no probably be quite so large. The Centen nial Exhibition at Philadelphia may hay something to do in accounting for the req son, and the ''hard times" may have als some weight in considering what is best t. do about it. Anyway, it is a grand plac to go, as everybody who has been ther will testify, and Centennial Propositions hard times, or anything else won't lon operate to prevent it's having an cxtensiy patronage.
