What is a Bat.

All who have examined bat closely,
its fur, ears, and teeth, must, we think
have recognized il as kind of beast.
Its real afiinites, however, serve wei! to
demonstrate as a guide to fundamental
relationship. The bat is essentially an
animal of the air, all its structure is
modified for flight, and it rarely descends
to the surface of the ground. The N ole,
on the contrary, is essentially an an
imal OF the eatth-al its structures is
modified for burrowing, and it rarely
ascends to the surface of the ground.
The contrast could scarcely be more
complete, and yet the bat and the mole
are rousins-the mole, the hedgehog,
and a.he shrew mouse belonging to a
to group of beasts which the bats show
no inconsidearble affinity.
We have spoken of the opinion that
the bat is kind OF bird. This view
seems to have been entertained by the
Jews, and the "bird OF darkness " ia
placed in Deuteronomy VII. IS, among
the unclean ones forbidden as food
And the stork and heron after her kind,
and the lapwing and the bat" "
Aristotle, though he placed the bats
among the flying animals, and, therefore
among birds, distinctly recognized the
difference in their organizations, and
the same thing may be affirmed of Piny
But, in spite of this and although AL
bertus Magnus, in the Middle Ages. was
fully acquainted with the true nature O
bats, as beasts, az we'll as with their win
ter torpi1ity, and we find later on re
PROGRESSION of opinion.

A HOLOCAUST IN NoRwAY.--A terrible
calamity recently occurred in the Nor
wegian village of Ellngso. The school
master had called the children of the
village together with the object of ex-
aiming them, using for this purpose the
second floor of large unfinished log
house, to which access was gained
through window by means of a ladder,
the stairs not being finished. Twenty
children had assembled and the examin-
alton was nearly concluded, when sud
denly the schoolmaster observed heavy
volumes of smoke penetrating the room
directly followed by flames. Rushing to
the window he observed to his terror that
the ladder had disappeared, thus cutting
off tho only means of escape. Selling a
couple of the children he threw them
out OF the window but blinded. sutfo-
eating, and scorohed, be was unable to
get hold of any more, and jumped HIM
self through the window, breaking one
leg in the fall. Ali the men in the vii.
lage were out fishing and the women
away, thus no assistance was possible,
and the poor children we're left to their
fate. Only. four of the whole number
escaped, all more or less burned and
bruised, while sixteen persisted, the floor
giving suddenly away.

The FIRST WATcH.-At first the watch
was about the size OF dessert plate. II
had weights, and was used as "pocket
clock" The earliest known use of the
modern name occurs in the record OF 1862.
which mentions that Edward vi. had
one larum or watch of iron. the case be-
ing likewise of iron gilt. with two dunn
NETS of lead" The first watches may
readily be supposed to have been of rude
execution. The first great improvement,
the substitute Of springs for weights,
was in 1850. The earliest springs were
not coiled, but only straight pieces of
STEEL Early watches had only one hand,
and being wound up twice day, they
could not be expected to keep time
nearer than fifteen or twenty minutes in
the twelve hours. The dials were of
silver or brass; the case had no crystals
but opened at tho back or front, were
four or five inches in diameter. A plain
watch cost the equivalent of 1000 in
our currency, and after one WAS ordered
it took year to make it, Troy Times.

The Christmas tree at South Canaan was quite success. The church was sim- ply but prettiiy trimmed with evergreens. The tree was abundantly loaded with gifts, aud looked very prettily. MT. H. P. Morse. the Superintendent, has taken great interest in the school and deserves great credit for it's success. The exerci- ses were very interesting. and the singing suitable to the oce asion. The Methodist Sunday School at Falls Village. (which is a very prosperous one), had a sIeighride. on Wednesday the 27th. going to South Canaan for an oyster supper The oysters were not to be obtained, but the tables were loaded with an abundance of good things. There were about 16 sleighs we'll flied.
 Hugh W. Franklin, the superinten- dent of the Housatonic R. R. died at his residence in North Canaan, Wednesday, at 10 a. m. He had suffered for some time from infammatory rheumatism which finally attacked his brain His death casts gloom over the business community. The funeral was al his resi- dence, Sunday, Dec. 31st. ..#
 On Saturday morning the train started out with two engines to open the Housa. tonic Railroad. having on board, among the employees, MT. Bartlett, the ''boss carpenter. A little this side of Dewey's station they encountered Q large snow bank and got stuck. They then ran back to get good start, but az there was some danger of an engines running from above, MT. Bartlett said he would try to walk across. The train, getting under head way, came.up, throwing him off into the snow, and went on, not knowing what had occurred. A man passing with sleigh heard his groans, as it was near cross- ing, and carried him to Dewey's station. where they obtained two surgeons who discovered that his arm and leg were both broken, with his collar bone. He would probably have soon perished with the ex- posture had he not been found. The train returning from Pittsield found him there, and brought him to Falls Village, where he thanked his friends for their kindness and attentions. His injuries are regarded as very serious.

CHR1sTMAs.-About 300 presents were on the Sabbath School Christmas tree, at West Goshen.

 CENTENNIAn.-A large company gather ed last Wednesday evening. at the house of Mir. Edwin White to tell what was seen at Philadelphia, and to listen to the same. One large sleigh-load from Cornwall turn ed over going up, and another from Goshen did the same thing going down. Henry Norton was chosen chairman and Mrs. Lyman Hall, Secretary. Those who did not visit the Exhibition were excused, but nearly all who went gave an account of what they saw and heard. The Secre- tary read long poem written for the oc- casion, which was quite instructive; in it she gave her ideas of the butter woman, and alluded to the whistle made of a pigs tail, which she saw in the Connect icut House Mir. James Leonard said it was really so, for he blew upon it. MT. Albert Wadhams saw many things which escaped the notice of others. Mr. Lester. our Academy teacher, one afternoon when the people were leaving, saw man sitting near the Corliss Engine, and began to converse with him. He soon found that it was MT. Corliss himself, who offered to show him all the parts of the ponderous engine, so they went below and saw the whole. It was bright moon- light evening. and after doing justice Co Mrs. Whites entertainment, we all pass ed those enormous drifts safely to our homes.
 SNow.-Friday, we had another tre- mendous snow-storm which took roof from one of John D Barton's barns. This time the North and South roads were blocked mp with drifts. HIN.
