No More Locomotive Cfnders.

William Stamp. machinist employed in the Erie railKay shop in Susquehana, Pa.. has patented an invention that prevents sparks and cinders from flying out of the smoke stack of locomotive. His exhaust has spiral channel connecting with sim liar channel in the smoke stack, giving the cinders centrifugal force that sends them against the inside of the stack, whence they are conducted to the ground. They can be retained, if necessary, and be deposited at any point along the railway. Mr.Stamp says that if his invention is used locomo- lives can be run with less coal, and passen. gers can raise the windows without having their eyes filled with cinders or soiling their clothes. The engineer can keep better lookout, and the cars may be thoroughly ventilated without annoyance. So sanguine is Mir. Stamp of the success of his invention that the offers to give two stacks to any company having more than ten locomo- tives, and pay all expenses if the result is not satisfactory. Any company having twenty-five locomotives can have patterns to build four stacks, company with fifty can have ten, and company owning two hundred locomotives can build twenty stacks free of charge for patents, if built within six months. MT. Stamp is an old machlnist, dependent on his labor for his support, and his invention is evidently not humbug.

BOrrfllXtOlR.

The St. James (EpiscopaD society of Burlington have had tea party on two evenings of this week, the object being to raise money to help build a new rectory for their church. Their efforts were crowned with success, the net receipts be- ing over four hundred and twenty-five dol lars. They have commenced to dig the cellar, which is in the rear of the old par sonage. The new building is to be in line with the cast end of our town hall. Their committee is composed of men who count the cost before they begin, and with the help of their enterprislng ladies will soon have building that will be an ornament to the village and what is much needed by the soclety.....W Why is it that when Harrington wants to build new town hall they must go for their stone away down in Connecti- cut to get the red stone, and when the En- field Shakers want to build meeting house they come to Burlington for the beautiful blue stone which is so plenty in our vil- lage. MT. Film has about dozen men at work in Doctor Collins quarry getting out stone, which is shipped by the way of Ca naan to Hartford and thence to Enfield for the shaker meeting house. Well the rail roads make something by the operation.

Sea Serpent Near New York.

Incoming vessels have strange tale to celebrated traveller Gutefundus, and the records of old Pontoppidan. The sea ser pent, or sea serpent, has been seen off the coast near New York and in the lower bay, by some yatchsmen, among others by Cap tain Peter Williams, of the Alathea. Ac- counts differ as to it's appearance, some al- leging that it has the horse head, enormous eyes, and long, slender body that charac- terized it of old in Norway, but Captain Williams says that its head closely resem- bles that of an enormous snapping turtle, while it's body can not be less than ninety or one hundred feet long and is very smooth and of greenish hue. He first saw it in coming from Block Island to Newport, and shortly before landing at the latter place. It was seen at dusk on the larboard side of his yacht, with it's long body lying of the surface and with head erect. It was not more than two hundred feet from the Ala thea, and seemed to be observing it.. Cap tain Williams shot at and wounded it, for it sunk at once and left a stream of blood on the water. Subsequently It was seen by him between Rockaway and ConeY Island, apparently in as good health as ever. The head is described as being as large or larger than an ordinary hogshead, and the mouth, which was then distended, ran from ear to ear, for the serpent is furnished with good- sized aural appendages. When last seen it lay on the water and was swallowing garbage by the bucketful, the water about Coney Island being amply supplied with that enticing edible by the boats which should carry it away. On Thursday even- ing it was seen by numbers of people from the steamboat landing ID process of cree. ton on the beach. In the main, the de- scription they give of it tallies with Cap tain Williams account. If we are to have visits from what has hitherto been re- garded as fabulous being-the great sea serpent-it is to be hoped that it will con- fine it's ravages to the garbage so kindly provided for it by the police commission ers.-N. ?.

The Canal ROnd.

Judge Granger, several weeks since, issued an order commanding the canal railroad company to stop its trains in Plantsville, IF the town of Southington, in accordance with the law passed by the Legislature in 1875. The law provided that if the people of Plantsville should build proper depot and convey the sane with the lot to the company, the trains should be stopped there. The depot was built and conveyed, as the law provided, but the. company de- clined to stop its trains. On application, Judge Granger ordered a writ of manda- mus to be issued commanding compliance with the law. The company appealed from the decision, and claimed that they were not obliged to stop their trains till the decisions of the higher courts were ob- tained. They intended to appeal from one court to another till they could get a deci- sion in the Supreme Court of the United States. This would occupy three or four years time. Now, Judge Granger decides that the peremptory msndamus ordering the trains to be stopped at Plantsville must be obeyed until it is reversed and he gives the company twenty days to comply with the order. If they hold the court in con- tempt, and do not comply with the order, the judge directs that the managers of the company shall be confined in the Hartford county jail till the order is complied with. -Hartford Tunes.
 LATER-G. St. John Sheffield, director of the New Haven and Northampton road, has been interviewed by New York Sun reporter in regard to Judge Changers order that the company shall stop their cars in Huntsville under penalty of imprisonment. He is reported to have said ''Southington is perfectly satisfied, but Huntsville is not. Real estate has not increased in value in the village as the owners hoped it might, and they then began to complain of the change of the station. A peremptory mandamus was obtained last spring by the village re- quiring the trains to stop as formerly. But before the necessary legal papers reach ed the railroad office writ of error was served on the attorney general by the con- pany as they wished to carry the case into the United States courts. The directors of the railroad will pay no attention to Judge Grapger's order. The president and direc- tors therefore expect to be arrested and bailed. The case will come up in the Uni ted States courts this fall.

 Sharon IS gay and festive this summer. The village is literally oYelfowing with summer boar ders. The hotels and board ing houses are full, and every private house whose proprietor can be persuaded to open his doors to them is jammed full. Wheth, CT it would be paying speculation or not can not say but there is no doubt but that should large boarding house be built here with accommodations for a couple of hun dred there would be no difficulty in filling it during the hot summer months. The delightful location of the village, it's beauti- full surroundings, delightful drives and gen. ial citizens give to it attractions which are possessed by but very few towns in the state. Your correspondent never quite so fully realized the many attractions of the place as now when he is about to go hence after sojourn of several years, and he can assure the good people of Sharon that their kindness and hospitality will never cease to be remembered, and the pleasant remini- scences of the past few years will always be fountain of grateful and agreeable thoughts......A select party of ladies and gents from this village and Amenia visited Bash Bish falls last Thursday. Delightful weather, most agreeable company, the grandness of the scenery, the palatable Yiands, and last but not least the kind hos pltality of our friends, MT. and Miss Doug lass, whose beautiful home is in close prox- imity to the falls, rendered the day one long to be remembered and never forgot ten......The Episcopal Sunday school had a picnic last Wednesday in grove overlook ing Nudge pond. As is customary at such times the attendance of pupils was much larger than it is wont to be on less festive occasions. ALPHA.

 WHERE NlcKLR COMES FRoM.-It may not be generally known that the nickle de. post near the Gap, Lancaster county, Pa, is considered the largest yet discovered in the world, and the only deposit of the ore worked in America. The mine is on the high dividing line between Chester and Pc Quea Valleys. Besides nickel, copper, iron and limestone are found in the same locali- ty. Nickel was discovered here about the year 1856, though copper, which is taken from the same mine, was known in this locality seventy years ago. The ore has gray color, is very heavy, and so hard that it is mined entirely by blasting. After the ore has been broken into small fragments, it is put into kilns holding eighty or ninety tons each, and subjected to heat produced at first by the burning of small quantity of wood and continued by the conversion of the expelled gas It is then put into a smelting furnace and undergoes treatment similar 10 that of iron ore.
