A recent letter from Sauquoit, n.
Y, says: One mile and forty rods
north of the beautiful village of Sau-
quot resides Mr.. Andrew j. Green.
Day before yesterday be started to
walk to the village. Swinging along
with his wonted stride, and reaching
a point within half a mile of his des-
tination, bis attention was attracted
by the strange actions of a large flock
of swallows, lowering low down over
the sidewalk, flying rapidly bither
and thither in great excitement.
As be approached them, and when
in their midst, they evinced no fear
Of his presence, and instead of 0ying
away on his entrance among them,
they pressed around him in great
numbers, and almost Immediately at.
tackled him with their sharp bills
with great fury. At first be was dis
posed to treat the attack as a trivial
matter, and attempted to brush them
away with his hands, but the few
thus displaced were Immediately re.
placed by myriads more, darling,
chattering and piercing him with
their sharp bills like "the fight of a
cloud Of arrows"
The immense numbers and persist.
ent charges were SO great that be was
soon thrown to the ground. Now
thoroughly alarmed be struggled to
his feet covering his eyes and fsce
with one hand as well rs possible, he
e~ndeavored with The other hand to
wrest from the fence at his side u
stake or picket with which to defend
himself, but not succeeding, and the
wild and Infatuated liule warriors
still increasing their attack, be was
forced to fight them again with his
hands, when again he was thrown
to the ground. Now really terrified
for his life, be pulled bis coat over
his face and head for protection, re-
gained his feet, and fed for his life,
but they did not pursue him far.
Exhausted, and with his hands bleed
ing, be reached the village, convinc.
ed that be bad had a narrow escape.

Bold safe Robbery at Atlantic city.

ATLANTIC CRY, August 3 9-The
Atlantic City RerieU has the follow
ing: This morning, about quarter
past 2 o'clock, thieves entered the
Delavan house, at the corner of At
lsntic and Connecticut avenues, and
removed q small Herring safe from
the Office, took it two squares away
to The corner Of Massachusetts, and
Arctic avenues, and exploded it
with gunpowder. 1t was found
about daybreak in the middle of the
avenue, blown to pieces. Although
there had been $500 in the safe on
Wednesday morning, vet the thieves
only got about $25 in specie and some
spoons, the rest Of the money
having been deposited in bank 10 the
by the proprietor. There
are no clues to the thieves.

Edison and the Unseen Universe.

Hitherto mans knowledge of the
extent of the universe has been bound
ed by the limits Of vision. During
the day, when the range of sight lie
narrowed by the suns excessive
brightness, we see bat a minute frac-
ton of the little world we inhabit.
At night a wider reach of vision is
possible, aud some thousands of stel.
lar and planetary bodies are added to
the domain of positive knowledge,
thus charging enormously mans idea
of the magnitude of the universe.
But the increase of knowledge which
darkness reveals is almost infnitesi-
NAL compared with the wider view
of the universe opened up by the tel
escope; and every addition to the tel
escope's penetrative power brings o
larger and larger universe without
our ken.
That the most powerful OF tele.
scopes enables Us to reach the limit
of the universe no n imsgines. See
az much IS we may, more-perhaps
Infinitely more-lies beyond. SO, at
least, all experience leads us to infer;
but our positive knowledge ends with
the limit Of vision.
Must this always be so? Hitherto
science he's given no hint Of the pos
sibility Of exploring the vast and mys
terious beyond, from which no visi-
bic ray of light has ever been detect
ed, or is ever likely to be detected,
by the most tarresching and sensitive
Of optic aids. But now there comes
a promise OF az extension Of positive
knowledge to fields Of space so remote
that light is tired out and lost before
it can traverse the intervening dis.
lance. A new agent or organ of sci
entiGc sense for space exploration has
been given to the world in the tasim-
eter, by which it is possible not only
to measure the heat of the remotest
Of visible stars, but, Mr.. Edison be-
%lieSes, TO detect by their invisible rad.
~iations stars that are unseen and un-
seeable Mr.. Edison's plan is to ad-
Just the tasimeter TO its utmost de-
gree OF sensitiveness, then to attach
it to a large telescope, and SO explore
those parts OF the heavens, which ap.
pear blank when examined by tele
scopes of the highest p%enetrative pow
er. If at any point in snch blank
space the tasimeter indicates an ac-
%cession of temperature, and does this
invariably, the legitimate inference
will be that the instrument is in range
with a stellar body, either non-lumin-
GUS or SO distant as to be beyond the
reach of vision assisted by the tele'
scope; and the position of such body
can be fixed and mapped the same as
if it were visible. Seeing hat the
tasimeter is affected by q wider range
of etheric undulations than the eye
can take cognizance Of, and is withaI
far more acutely sensitive, the proba
