West Cornwall.

CRoPs.-News is scarce; not so, potat o bugs. They are literally ''too many" for the farmer. Earth, air, and water seem full of them. and our only hope is in pois- on. Corn is well up, but the cold wealth CT of the past week has given it very sorry look. Milk is drug in New-York, the price paid the producer for the past month being only q cents a quart. Still tLe farmer plods on. and hopes for the good times coming.

 NEW RoAD,--A special town meeting held last Wednesday to discuss and vote upon the subject of laying out a new stage route upon from Cornwall to Seelye Harts. on great Hill, by way of Washing ton turnpike. or the ''Ss" on Hugo Beach road, necessitating an expense of about a 1000 dollars. The petitioners had verbal ly agreed to open this proposed route without any expense to the town, but when asked to obligate themselves in wri- ting, refused to do so. Consequently the taxpayers. who are already heavily bur- dened, refused to grant the petition, and the subject is dropped, We hope for long time to come.
 NEW CHAPEL It Is at last decided to locate our new chapel on Mir. Shepard's land up the railroad. opposite the resi-. dences of MT. Fitch and MT. Daniel Baldwins.

his claim. He has so far progressed, it
is said, that the present occupants Of the
American house property have effected
a compromise with the claimant upon an
agreement to pay him $4,000 in cash
The old state-house and grounds, it will
be remembered, were sold to the county
by the state, and the building is now
used as courthouse. The price to be
paid was $250,OO0. This, and the St.
Nicholas hotel, with what is called the
Jefferson street block, will make the val
uatlon of the whole property at least
100000, and twill probably reach $780,
600. The will transferring this estate to
White is on record at Lincoln, ILL.,, and
other papers in connection with the mat
ter are said to be at Mason City. So far
as can be learned now, the chain of doc
umentary evidence is perfectly complete
to substantiate Whites claim, and his
friends in Quincy-the number of whom
is increasing daily-hope to soon see him
in possession of that which is rightfully
his. A prominent legal firm of this city,
and the Hon. John NJ. Palmer, of Spring
field, are retained as counsel for White,
and have already commenced the neces-
sary proceedings in the case.

THE NEW JERSEY MUTUAL.
Suits for 1892, 900 Brought Against
Directors and Stockholders.

Receiver Joel Parker, in pursuance
of the chancellor's order, has brought
suits against the following stockholders
and directors Of the New Jersey Mutual
Life Insurance company: William NJ
Force, president, $4,000; Charles c..
Lathrop, vice president, $40, 600; Thorn
as B. Peddie, $4,000; George Peters,
$4,000; estate of d. M. Wilson, $40, 900;
jeremiah Councillor, $4,000; James
q. Barnet, $4,000; and John H. Kase,
So 900. The writs are returnable before
Judge Depue, of Newark, on Tuesday
next, but the trial will probably be post
poned until September. The defend
ants have secured the services Of half a
dozen of the most prominent lawyers
III New Jersey, and are determined to
fight to the bitter end. They sold their
stock to the directors of the Hope at an
advance of 50 per cent and received
therefor bonds and mortgages held by
the New Jersey Mutual Life, which re-
duced the assets Of the latter company
5000 OOO-a deficiency, it is claimed,
that was never made good by their sue
cessors, and which was the beginning of
the troubles which caused the ruin of
the company. Before instituting these
suits Ludlow McCarter, attorney for the
New Jersey Mutual, obtained an opinion
from Mr.. Barker Gunmere, of Trenton,
that they could be maintained. Should
a decision be rendered in favor of the
receiver suits will be brought against
the other former stockholders.

A New Torpedo.

CLEVELAND, o., July 1O.-For some
time past there has been made privately
in this city a series of experiment with
what is known as the Lay torpedo, an in
venion Of Mr.. Lay, Of Buffalo, N. Y.
The torpedo is cylindrical, with conical
ends, the forward cone calculated to
contain 100 pounds of any explosive
substance. The dynamite will probably
be used. In the forward section of the
main cylinder is a powerful gas, liquid
form, used for motive power, connected
with the machinery by valve operated
by Electricity and a pipe. There is also
a cable coiled as harpoon and ropes are
arranged on whaling vessels, which may
be my length desired, and, connected
with the shore or vessel. The torpedo
when launched is entirely under the con-
troll of the operator, who may be sta
tiored on the shore or aboard ship. He
has a compact battery and keyboard on
which are small switches with which he
guides, controls, and explodes the craft
by means of electricity. The secresy
with which experiments have been made
aroused general curiosity, and a large
crowd gathered on the docks this after
noon to witness public trial. The ex-
pertinent was splendid success in every
particular. There were present num-
Der of distinguished gentlemen, con-
splcuous among whom was the Assistant
Chinese Minister, Yung Guen Poo, and
MS Secretary, and a number of naval
officers and visitors from other cities. A
was stationed half-mile from
the shore. When the battery was APP
piled the torpedo started off at a rapid
speed, going to the stake boat in 800.
Gracefully rounding the boat, she started
on her return, which was made in the
same time. It is claimed by the owners
that this craft will travel twelve miles
per hour. The rapidity and precision
with which the machine obeyed the OPP
orator clearly demonstrated that it is
one of the most formidable weapons,
ever invented in naval warfare. This
machine viii be shipped directly to some
European Power for which it was built,
but the owners decline to state for which.
one, but say they have orders for a large
number from the same Power.

Heat and Disease.

During the relocating of the furnaces
in an iron establishment in England,
says the British "Jour7aal Of Science" the
men worked when the thermometer,
placed so as not to be influenced by the
radiation of heat from the. open doors,
marked one hundred and twenty de-
grees. In the Bessemer pits, the men
continue a kind of labor requiring great
muscular effort at one hundred and for
ty degrees. In some Of the operations
of glass making, the ordinary summer
working temperature is considerably
over a hundred, and the radient heat to
which the workmen are subjected far
exceeds two hundred and twelve degrees.
In q Turkish bath, the shampooners
continue four or five hours at a time IN
a moist atmosphere at temperature
ranging from one hundred and five to
one hundred and ten degrees. In en-
amel works, men labor daily in a heat
of over three hundred degrees. On the
Red sea steamers, the, temperature Of
the stoke hole is one hundred and forty
