 On Friday evening, the 18th inst, large number of the friends of Rev. Henry Upson, some three hundred by actual count, met at his house for Q house-warming. Mir. Upson AAB for several years received . few young men into his family as students. His interest in this work has led him to enlarge his honse, ao as to enable himto considerably increase the number of his pupils. His friends came to- gether on Friday evening to congratulate him on his success thus far, and to wish him guc- cess in the future. The earlier hours of the evening were spent in pleasant social inter- course. All present were then invited to par take of the gsod things of s richly and bounti- fully laden table at which the divine blessing was fervently asked by Rev. MT. Lancashire. After the collation. short speeches were made by Rev. Messrs. Lancashire, Thrall, Harrison; Mir. '. W. Gum, Col E. D. Blinn, A. l. Rogers and others. MT. Upson followed, ssa- ting his purposs of making his home centef sf intellectual culture, and refined social intsreourse, and asking his neighbors and ss pscially the young to use it freely .as such. ,
 All present on this pleasant occasion, eer- tainly hope that Mir. Upson will sealiss hia wishes in this matter.

DEFERRED LETTERS.
FALLS VILLAGE.

The terrible disast CT on the Conn., Western railroad has come very near all the inhabitants of the northern part of the County. Not . town along the line of the road but was repre- scented, and theexcite.nent was intense, until all the missing ones were heard from, and then the sad tidings of injuries and bereavements, were brought to many family. Mir. & Mrs. Merritt Spaulding, of this place, were among the injured. Mrs. Spaulding was badly cut and bruised, but she suffered most from the long exposure to the chilling water. When found she was unconscious and her clothes fro zen so stiffiy that they were obliged to cut them from her. Many others whose names are not among the injured, are still suffering from exposure to the cold. The scene is described by those who survived az frightful in the ex- treme. The intense darkness (the lamps all being extinguished), the groans and the cries of the injured, the struggles to escape from drowning, the inability to help those who were cGnging to them, made an impression on the mind that will never be forgotten as" '
 There is little sickness now in the village; one or two cases of scarlet fever; no new cases of diphtheria, though there are still some at Lime Rock. ..

A number of men and women
interested in scientific investigation
gathered last evening in the Thir-
ty-seventh street residence of DR..
Robert S. Newton, President of the
Electic Medical College, to witness
experiments in "physicometry :"
by Prof. Joseph r. Buchanan. This
science, the professor explained,
was comparatively new. lie had
discovered it many years ago, but
not until recently had it become
widely known. Through this
science one person could learn the
personal characteristics of another
by coming in contact with him, by
seeing him or by touching his let
ters. The whole science of medi-
cine was to be revolutionized, be
claimed. The physician could tell
at once the peculiar ailment of his
patient by soul insight, and would
be able to remove the disease by a
touch. Some experiments IN re-
gard to the sensations following the
holding in the hands of parer sat
urated with various drugs were first
made. Experiments with hand
writing come next. A slip from the
manuscript of a single author was
placed against the forehead oil
each person in the room. A lady
said: "This is evidently the writing
of person of strong character and
great intellectual power. Earnest,
truthful and persistent, he would
make statesman of a high order,
but is more suited to argumentative
writing" Another lady said that
she felt the influence of az active
personal magnetism; the writer was
of a nervous organization, but a
powerful writer. He reminded her
of Carlyle. "And that is his
name," said DR.. Buchanan. "That
is really the handwriting Of Carlyle" d"
Experiments with other writers were
tried, and resulted in similar
manner A letter of Alice Gary
was given to two ladies. One said,
after putting it to her forehead,
that it seemed to be from man
and yet a very queer sort of man
too. He had feminine characters,
tics. The other lady said it was
from a lady On taking the first
piece, DR.. Buchanan found that it
had been indOrsed in "a mans hand,
thus, as he said, mixing the char.
acters. The second lady described,
very accurately, Alice Cary'S char
acteristics. The same success was
met with in using the writing Of
Phoebe Cary.

The Neue Freie Presse publishes
some interesting letters from Count
Moltke, describing bis impressions
of the court Of Napoleon III in
1856, when the Count (then Major.
Baron Won Moltke) was member
Of the suite Of the present Grown
Prince Of Germany, who was at
that time on his way to London to
make arrangements for his mar
riage with the princess royal. The
count describes the Empress Eu-
genie as "of astonishing beauty,
with a slight, elegant figure, and
dressing with much taste and rich
ness, but without ostentation, =
She is very talkative and lively,
much more than is usually the case
with persons occupying SO high a
position" AS for tho emperor, the
count "thought he was taller; he
looks very well on horseback, but
not on foot" "He struck me-"

almost extinguiShed look of his
eyes. The predominating charac-
teristic of his face is q friendly and
good-natured smile, which has
nothing Napoleonic about it. He
mostly sits quietly, with his head
on one side; and events have
shown that this tranquility, which
is very imposing to the restless
French nation, is not apathy, but
the sign of superior mind and a
strong will. " = + He is an

Affairs in France are not in a nor
NAL condition, but it would be
difficult to say how, under present
circumstances, they could be i'm
proved. The founder of new dy-
nasty is in a very different posi-
ton from the descendant of series
of legitimate sovereigns. The latter
may 90 on in the old grooves, but
the former must make new ones,
and far more is expected from him.
Napoleon III has nothing of the
somber sternness of his uncle,
neither his imperial demeanor nor
his deliberate attitude. He is a
quite simple and somewhat small
man, whose always tranquil coun-
tenace gives strong impression Of
good-natured amiability. III ne
Sc fache jamais, say the people who
are in most frequent intercourse
with him. I'll est toujours poll ct
bon envers nous; ce nest que la
bonte de son c9ur ct sa confance
qui pourrontl lui deyenir dangereux.'
That at this moment there is only
one party in power, and that the
emperor cannot always surround
himself with the most important
men of that party, is a necessity Of
the situation. Napoleon cannot
make use Of men of independent
character, who insist on having
their own way, as the direction of
the affairs of state must be concen-
trated in his hands. Greater lib
erty ought to be conceded in a reg.
ulated state of affairs; but in the
present condition of France there
must be a strong and simple direc.
ton, which, moreover, is also best
suited to the French character
Freedom of the press is for the
present as impossible here as il
would be at the headquarters of an
army in the field, if the press wished
to discuss the measures taken by
the general in command. Napo.
leon has shown wisdom, frmness,
self-confdence, but also moderation
and clemency; and though simple
in his dress, he does not forget thai
the French like to see their sOver.

Mr. Stanley, the African explorer,
was one of the most superb enter

the good fortune TO be present. The
gorgeous hotel, which cost, it is
said, 50, 100000 to build and finish,
is in itself feast for the mind as

will remember its superb exterior,
standing as it does on the verge of
the Park Monoeaux, so that its win.
