MT Dunning, it was announced had not subscribed for preferred stock. He failed of 8 majority of the votes, and so did MT. Stevens, who had 29 less than the lowest on the regular ticket. This left but twelve directors elected, who are those given in the first twelve places above. The law specifies that there shall be ''not less than nine or more than thirteen."
 Among the heaviest stockholders of the new preferred shares are w. l.. Gilbert of West Winsted, $l59, ,OoO; T. M. Allen of Hartford $87. .5O0 William Bolles of Hart ford, $53 ,OOo Charles T. Hiilyer of Hart ford. $42,5OO. MT. Barnum has $l7, 800 of the new stock, and Mir. Stevens $l3, ,5OO. Several Hartford gentlemen have $2O, ,000 each involved, but the average holding among those who have accepted the scheme is apparently only $4,ooo to$6, 900. The First National Bank of Suffield has SIS, 1000; the Mystic National Bank $2, 800, and the Blddeford savings bank $9,0OO.
 The shares of the preferred stock are $500 each.
 The directors not reelected are William Bolles, Joseph Toy, Byron Loomis, N. B. Stevens, G. M. Bartholomew, F. Watson, G. s. Frink. Some of these, it is said, re- fused to allow the use of their names.
 The opinion was thrown out at the meet ing by prominent director that at the present rate of earnings the road would pay two per cent. on the preferred stock after two years. Hartford Courdnt.

ON THE BEATM OF LITTLE
 EMMA CAPRON.

Suffer little children and forbid them not, 'me unto me; for of euch is the kingdom saVens-MATT., XIX IA. When the dark and gloomy shadow Fell upon our loved one's brow, And we saw the life cord breaking,
 And the death dart piercing low; How we tried to keep our darling.
 Tried to strengthen the cord again; Tried so hard to pull the arrow.
 But our trying was in vain. And our loved one passing from us,
 Told us palmer than words could tell, That an angel came from heaven,
 From Him ''who doeth all things we'll" And he took our Emma with him,
 Took her to the "other shore" Placing her among the jewels,
 There to rest forevermore. And her little feet will batter
 Lightly along the ''street of gold" And she'll know the love of Jesus.
 A half of which was never told. And beside the crystal river,-
 Flowing out before the throne. She will stand and beckon to us,
 Beckon dear and loved ones home. And we know that she'll be waiting,
 When this weary life is o'er, Watching; and the fret to greet us,
 As we reach the pearly door. And though life may aeem so weary, Darkened by the cloud of death; Clouds of sorrow lowering OCT us,
 With no sunlight underneath; Yet we'll not complain or murmur,
 For we're looking far above. Clouds of sorrow cannot reach us,
 When we reach that world of love.

AN EXCITING VoYAaE.-A thrilling story is told of the running of the Russian block ade at Galatz by Hobart Pssha:
 It is stated that while his vessel was lying near Rustchuk the Turkish authorities re- ceived intelligence of the arrival of the Russians at Galatz, and that they were placing torpedoes in the river. Hobart Pasha was advised to leave his steamer in the Danube and return to Constantinople via, Varna, but disdaining all such counsel, he declared that he would rather blow up his ship than desert her. Night approach. ing. he made everything ready for running Into the Black Sea in opposition to all Rus- sian hostile intentions. getting clear fires under the boilers of his craft in order to avoid smoke from her funnel, and making other arrangements. The RethYmo, be it said, $ very fast boat, capable of steam ing at the rate of Ia knots an hour. When Hobart Pasha started on his daring expedi- tion. the Danube current was running swiftly, being estimated at fully five knots an hour. Upon nearing Galaiz, he found that heavily armed Russian batteries com handed the river. looking capable of sink. ing anything afoat, besides the torpedoes reported to be hidden beneath the waters. Immediately it was dark. the word was passed. Flights out," and the steamer was rapidly along. The batteries were soon reached, and the Russian lanterns. the heavy guns, and soldiers in great number were clearly visible to those who manned the saucy Rythemo, when suddenly a rocket was sent up from the Roumanian shore to apprise the Muscovlte gunners of Hobart Pasha's coming. Other rockets followed in quick succession. Then the hoarse word of command was distinctly heard 'bugles sounded, and the drums beat merrilY, summoning the Russians to their posts. Hobart Pasha expected every mo- ment to be blown out of the water by the fire of the heavy guns he was treating so cavalierly. but being determined to make efforts in some degree proportionate to the great risk he was facing, he ran his vessel close in shore-not forty meters from the batteries themselves-indeed so near that the Russian gunners were unable to com press their pieces sufficiently fast to get good aim- His boat went quickly by at 20 knots an hour, and soon all danger was over. When satisfied he had nothing to fear from his enemies, Hobart Pasha order. ed the crew of the Rethymo, which carries one 40 pounder Armstrong gun, to throw one shell into the midst of the Russian camp. an order which was quickly obeyed the missive bursting in the midst of the Muscovite tents. Its effects were of course unknown, but it was the first cannon shot fired upon the Danube.

FIRE Ar SEA.-The regular Charleston steamer Gulf Stream, Captain Crowell, left that port on Wednesday last loaded with cotton. She got up with Sandy Hook at about 5:3o on Saturday evening, when the cargo was discovered to be on fire. The hatches were at once battened down, and no alarm was given, the passengers remain ing in ignorance of the danger. The steam pumps were got to work and the ship was flooded, all haste meanwhile being made to reach the city. After the passengers had been safely landed, stream from the dock hydrant was turned on the fire and it was extinguished. A number of bales of cot ton were burned and many more were in jured by water. The fire was in the after hold, and had probably been burning from the time the steamer left Charleston,

New Evidence Regarding the Ma
 than Murdero

The New York Sun reports secret-ser : vice detective as saying in regard to the fa- nous Nathan murder. committed in New York city some years ago: ''1 will pro duce the meerschaum pipe, tobacco box and watch taken from Benjamin Nathan immediately after the murder, and afida- wits clearly setting forth the cause of the murder, and by whom planned and execut
 ed." Cole, Gunnion, Johnny Irving, and Billy Forester, continued the detective,
 were brought by Kelley, the house keepers son, into plan to rob Nathan's safe. Ma than was very regular in his habits. He returned home invariably between 10 and II o'clock at night. Before going to bed he always smoked his meerschaum pipe and wound up his watch which he put on night table at his bedside with his tobac- co box. Young Kelley found the men above mentioned and admitted them to the house. When Nathan returned home he called Kelley to his room and gave him or ders for the following morning. He closed the door and retired as was thought, to bed. At in the morning Kelley entered the room and found him sleeping. He then admitted Gunnion and John Irving, Billy Forester being left outside the house to give the alarm in case of danger. It was while Gunnion was trying to force the safe open with the dog that Nathan reused from his sleep and seeing Kelley. asked kim what he was doing. Before Kelley could reply Gunnion sprang up with the inten- tion of running away, when Nathan grap- pied with hlm. Gunnion struck hlm on the head with the dog. and as Nathan stag gered out of the room, Gunnion struck, him again killing him. The officer says he can procure afidavits corroborating this story, and that Gunnion has repeatedly expressed regret at killing Nathan. Gun nion is in the Albany penitentiarY, having 20 years to serve Irving and Forester are in Sing Sing, and Kelly is in the Auburn prison.

| THE SEVENTEEN YEAR LoCUsTs. .-Oul exchanges from various parts of the coun- try report that the seventeen ear locusts have made their appearance in large num- | bers. A correspondent of the New York Sun, from Greenbush,s N. r.. writes that they have also appeared in that vicinity They first emerge from the ground in the form of large grub, The wings appear soon afferward, when the locust settles in the nearest tree. The noise made by the insects is a constant shrill humminR. They do not eat growing crops, as many suppose nor do they ln any way resemble the rav- enous locust of the West. They devote thelr time to working in the branches and twigs of all kinds of trees. They blow llt- tie grooves in the limbs, ID the tender bark next the wood. Their perforations in the trees kill the branches, and the foii- age soon turns yellow. In 1860 the locusts did not appear until June. when the trees were in full leaf. In two weeks the woods looked as they had been subjected to the frosts of November. From all appearances the locu>ts will be Us thick as they were i'll that year. Stores of the poisonous na- ture of the sting of this curlous insect. which did duty in 1880, creating much alarm. have been revived. but the seyen- teen year locust is harmless to man and beast. It is an inch and half long when full grown. It comes out of the ground tail first. and has on it's head white marks forming perfect w. In 1860 believers in signs and superstitions declared that the appearance of this cabalistic sign denot- ed war.
