mediate appurtenances had been entirely de-
stroyed the wharf just above was torn away;
the small warehouses in close juxtaposition
were wrecked. There were two Of them,
and perhaps less than 80 feot Of the earth
facing the water wOs broken away. There
are several little wooden houses within 100
feet of the explosion, where windows were
not broken, and large jewelry factory, less
than sixteenth Of mile distant, with al
least 500 panes Of glass, and not one window
pane cracked. The government, police
charity, emigration and excursion steamers
all made trips over the late reef, and ther
steamed for home.
The praise Of Major.Genoral Newton, the
representative scie ntifc engineer of this age
is upon everybody's lips, aud no man in thii
community is held in higher esteem than he.
Everything was accomplished as he said il
would be, and the navigation of He'll Cat,
hereafter, thanks to him, will be probably al
safe as in the deepest portions of Long Islant

A Winter Recreation.

Before great while the long winter sea-
son will be upon us. Everyone is looking
forward to its approach aud adapting their
plans to the change from beautiful October
to dosolate and stormy December. After
all arrangements are made II becomes great
question with many young people of both
sexes, what to do with themselves during the
long winter evenings To DO sure there is
much work to be done, lessons to be learned,
books to be read, stockings to be knit 1--WE
hope that useful accomplishment has not en-
tirely died out among the young ladies of
New England and many other tasks and
pleasures that take up much of the time.
But with all these there is much time that
is left to be filled out with some amusement
or duty.
Well, then, the question comes up, what
is the best thing that can be done that will
combine, as it we're, business and pleasure
We would suggest the establishment Of a
good Lyceum in every community whether
in city or country. A great many have been
successfully planned aud carried out, and a
great deal of pleasure and information de-
rived therefrom. But there are many places,
especially in farming communities, where the
subject has not been mentioned and acted
upon. We would ask all those who have
not tried the plan, to do so, for we feel sure
that with good management they will be
amply repaid.
BY introducing questions that arc before
the public at the time Of discussion, a
greater variety of information can be gotten
and the knowledge thus obtained will be
remembered much longer than if hastily
glanced at in book or newspaper. Besides,
much of the difiience that most young per-
sons have in speaking before an audience will
be dspelled by practice aud an increased
knowledge Of our own rhethrical powers.
We cannot tell how useful this requirement
may become, in this free republic of ours,
where none are so poor that they may not
reach fame and power if they have but the
brains and energy to carry themselves forward.
While Of course the gentlemen are supposed
to assumeprominent parts of such meetings,
yet some questions should be occasionally in-
troduced so that the ladies can take impor.
tant parts. Well do we remember the dis.
cussion Of "Womans Rights" in the old brick
school house in years gone by.
Such organizations are also the means oil
promoting the social emjoyments Of life
Business and pleasure can easily be combined
at such meetings, always remembering tc
transact business before pleasure" Though
meetings cannot be conveniently held oitenel
than once week, yet much valuable infor'
nation upon various subjects will be con
stantly gained in the study of the question:
under discussion. Th0n try the plan, young
ladies and gentlemen, and see if it is not I
profitable way of using some of these white
evenings.

Old Sol as a Thief Taker.

When photography was in its youth an
artist in that line went out with his instru-
ment, aud plates aud baths, on a bright, sun.
ny day, for the purpose OF taking photo
graphic views of the most wild and romantic
Of the forest scenery of Bontainbleau. Hav.
ing found a place wild and picturesque
enough to suit him, he set his tripod, aud
placed his camera, and, having got his foe us,
he prepared his plate and inserted it. When
he deemed that he. had caught the sylvan
vista and glade, he removed the plate to his
little dark box, where he was subjecting it to
the necessary chemical manipulatous for
developing and fixing when he experienced
an unceremonlous tap on the shoulder. Upon
raising his head and looking around, he
found himself confronted by gigantic Spec-
men of the SdnS.cuLlot, who, in a very rough
aud peremptory way, demanded of him his
purse.
The photographer was a small man and
unarmed, aud, as a matter Of personal safety,
he drew forth his purse. The robber took it,
and as there was gold in it, he made off with
it into the forest, without even stopping TO re-
turn his thanks.

scattered senses, returned to his G ass picture
or negative and found that its development
was perfect. But-what is thisP Holding
the plate up between his eye and the light,
he found that he had caught the picture OF
man who had been lurking in the coppice,
The face was in full view and periect-the
face of the man who had robbed him The
rascal had been lurking in the wood, aud
had held still while the artist had been look
ing that way.
As quickly as possible he returned to
Foutainbloau, where ho printed fine proof
from his plate. Then he repaired to the
commissary Of police, aud having related his
story, he exhibited his Photographic view,
with the likeness Of the robber.
The police knew the man, and on the fol-
lowing day he was arrested, and the photo
graphers purse found upon him.

The show in Floral Hall was good ,-espe.

short haraugues by Hon. G. IL. Heath and

The He'll Gate explosion has come off at
last, and nobody was injured and no prop
erty destroyed. Some found fault with the
fact that the explosion was to como of on
Sunday but the majority were satisfied with
Gen. Newton's explanation that then was
the safest and the necessary time to explode
the mine. 1t must have been grand sight
to see the effects of 26 tons Of explosive ma
teral, even though the effect was not as great
as was anticipated. The work Sunday was
the result Of seven years labor and the ex-
peuse of 100000. In another column
we give the immediate account Of the explo-
sion, not having space to give the details in
full.

For tho VERMONT FARMER,
Dog River Valley Fair.

The fourth annual gathering and exhibit
ton of the Dog River Valley Association
was held at Mortified, on Thursday aud
Friday, September 81 and p. The weather
prospect, early Thursday morning, was any
thing but promising for good opening day
was such, in fact, as to keep large numbers
at home But this time, the fears and for
bodings of the doubtful ones we're not
realized, only clouds and threatening pros
poets for the morrow.
The show of live stock and products was
very good not, however, equal to what it
would have been but for the fact that the
fair was Immediately preceded by the Mad
River Valley Fair-held Tuesday aud We'd
nesday, which kept at home some Of the finest
stock which can be shown at any fair-that
of the Joslyn's of Waitsfeld. Having been
on a two.days exhibition at home, it was not
to be expected they would be driven over the
mountains to Mortified to again grace our
exhibit of stock. Several very fine yoke OF
oxen we're on the ground-good size, hand
some and we'll mated. The first to catch the
attention was a splendid pair of eight-year-
Olds, owned by Bradley Buck of Mortified.
They were said to weigh 5O75 pounds and
measured feet in grth. They were entered
as fat and draft cattle. No one, of course,
was surprised to have them draw, not only
the heaviest load, but the first premium
Among handsome COWS, Devons shown by
WIN. Clark of Brookfeld could not escape
notice. One very fine COW to look at, APP
parently grade Devon, was shown by j. Den
nison. A fair show was made Of Jerseys
The fine and commeudable points and char
acteristics Of the jersey cows are not so plain
and discovorablo on the fair ground as they
are, suppose, at milking, or more especially
at churning time. A very superior half
blood Jersey bull (yearliug) was shown by
Lewis Thresher, Mortified. In speaking o
Dovons, mention should have been made o.
A yearlings, 2 bulls and 2 heifers, exhibited
by Clark & Crane. Nothing finer, to tn,
lover Of good looking animals, could be asked
for. They were brought, last fall, from
Windsor county. They possess the beaut.
Of the pure bOods, and have added thereto
good size,
A very creditable show Of coarse WOO
sheep was made by Geo. W. Flagg, Brain

A good exhibit of swine was made by Boyn

The Centennial travel is now probably at
its height. Hundreds of thousands of peo-
pie who would not or could not 60 during
the hot days Of midsummer are going or
making preparations to go now. At this
season, when the beautiful Indian summer
makes the weather all that could be desired,
the city of Philadelphia is crowded with
sight seers from all parts of the world.
One Of the most interesting features now
forming part of the Centennial exhibition
are the estate days" on which the original
thirteen states celebrate the occurrences of
q hundred years ago, with other ceremonies
suitable to the occasion. Last week the
people of New York held their estate day"
over $4,000 people being in attendance.
This was the largest number that has yet
attended the exhibition in one day, and
probably the largest number ever in attend
ance in one day at any exposition in the
world. Nobody who can, should let the
opportunity pass by to see what the world
can do in the way of arts, m. nufactures and
progress in civilization. Tho present genera.
ton will probably never have another chance
to attend another exhibition of this kind un-
less they go to Paris in 1878, which will be
an anticipation to only favored few. The
present is the pleasantest and the most aus
picious time to travel and a visit will doubly
repay one for his or her outlay Of time and
expense.
