OBITUARY.

Died at Patchogue, Long Island, Sept 2. 1877, Mir Benjamin Weeks, ip the s2nd year of bls age.
 A widow, eleven children, and eighteen grandchildren followed the remains to their last resting place. The deceased was lifelong temperance man, he being one of the first to organize a temperance society tn the place where he then lived, and for many years was it's leading officer. He was not only temperance man in thought, but hls voice was often heard pleading the cause of temperance, which was so dear to him. And the influence that he exerted at home was such that all of the twelve child ren, of whom nine were men, that grew up 10 manhood, every one were temperance men and women. They did not forget the lessons taught them at home, and to-day the influence of their father is not only felt by them, but is carri, d down to their children. MT. Weeks joined the M. E. church In Patchogue when be was young man, and he lived and died trusting in the grace and goodness of God. Reading a chapter Tn the bible and prayer in the morning was always done by him, unless sick or absent, and at such times 1t was not omitted, for his companion or one of the children, would read 1t, and she would ot- tSA PAoyShs Sh thS A0oooI oAtSthbVh VC- fore his death he was seated by the side of bis wife, who is totally blind, and he asked her if she did not want to go to class meet ing; but she, not feeling very we'll, told him she guessed she would not go. It was his last conversation. He soon after fell asleep in his char, as he often did, and when he awoke he was in fit. He finger, ed along until the next (Monday) morning. when he gently, and without struggle, fell asleep. 'edR 'm
 Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep

 To those who are separated from our na tive place, how often does the death of on, or another or our friends come to us, ant thrill our hearts, vividly recalling scenes O early life, and bringing to minc the friend of our youth Thus, when I read in lat issue of your paper, the death of Mrs. Haf riet Averlll Brewster, was carried back t the tune when first I knew her in the prim of life, the enthusiastic scholar and teach CT, the devoted daughter, sister and friend and in later life, the model mother. Scores of her old pupils will mourn for her. Sh, belonged to family where love, selksac rifice, hospitality, and all the virtues wer, taught and practised. She inherited tai ents of high order, which were used fol the welfare of others. She was the inspi- ration that induced her brother, the late lameuted Professor Chester Averill of Un ron College, to obtaln sn education which resulted in the finished, scholarly gentle man, but who was, alas cut down in the midst of his promising career. Other mem, oers of the family, also. had the advantage ot her influence aud example. She wal not only distinguished for her lntellectua attachments, but for a remarkable suavity of manners. cheerful, hopeful spirit, and deep, abiding faith in the wisdom and goodness of her Heavenly Father. She possessed genial, loving disposition, 'with malice toward none, and charity for all." Life was perpetual delight to her, diffusing happiness to all around her. The history of her long life, of more than four score years has been full of striking events, and great changes have taken place which she fully realized. But she has gone to her rest ''like shock of corn, fully ripe, ' and died as she would have wished sur. rounded by loving and kind friends. No. ble was thy work, and nohly done.

TIE HowoATE EXPEDITION. How gate and his friends are beginning to get un- easy on account of the delay of Congress in providing means to forward his protected ex- petition. They have no doubt but that when the bill making the appropriation is brought up in the House it will pass without much op- position, but they are afraid that the delay will imperil the enterprise. Reports from Lab rador and other high attitudes confirm the opinions entertained here, that no season SO favorable to northern exploration has occurred TOT thirty years, as, owing to the mild winter Just passed, comparatively little ice was form ed, and this is now supposed to be breaking up and drifting south, as the European steam CTS report having encountered icebergs much
 earlier this season than usual. In view of this, 1t is hoped that If the expedition can get away from our shores by July 25 no difficulty will be experienced in going directly north as far as Lady Franklin Bay, about S2 degrees. nearly as far as the highest point reached by any former expedition. Should these hopes be realized, and base of supplies be estab-
 ished in that vicinity during the coming sum- mer, the friends of the expedition say that it's success would be certain, in view of the we'll considered plans on which it is based. To es- tablish this base of supplies, it is necessary that action be taken as soon as possible, as all the time between this and the last day when such an expedition should start can be profit ably used in making proper preparations, with out which success is very doubtfuL-ScientJfc ArnesicGn. ,.....

PowKR or THE WAvEs.AThose who have nev- CT lived on stormy coast, nor been to sea, can form no adequate idea of the effect that can be produced by the impact of a succession of waves, or single wave. What has happen cd ct Wick, on the extreme northern coast of Scotland, where 6 hreakwater has been build- ing for some years past, may give an idea of what is meant by wave-power. It was found that stones Of ten tons weight were as pebbles to the waves, which have been measured to be here forty-two feet from crest to the bottom of the trough. The outer end of the breakwater, where the storms beat most violently, was built of three courses of one hundred tons laid on the rubble foundations next above these were three courses of large, flat stones, and upon this . mass of concrete, built on the spot of cement and rubble. The end Of the break water was thought to be as immovable as the natural rock yet the resident engineer saw it slowly yield to the force of the waves and swing round into the less troubled water in- side the pier. It gave way not in fragments but in one mass, as if it was mono6th. The displaced mass is estimated to weigh about 1,s60 tons. .-.. --,a

Robert Rogers of Falls Village addressed the meeting in speech of half an hour in length. and commanded address of the Rev. MT. Barden of this place was also very interesting, and we'll received.

In token of their gratitude to Dr. J. G.
 Holland for the good he has done the world by producing the noble works that have emanated from his pen during the twenty years since he became known to the nation by the publication of his '0Titcomb Letters to the Yeung," two hundred business and professional men resid- ing in New England and other sections of the country have sent him letter, specifying in their thanks the charming pictures of the Con nectisut valley scenery he has given in his poem, "Katharina," the wise counsel of the
 Titcomb" essays and letters and the right idea of life that mark his novels, Arthur Bon nicastle," 'tSevenoaks,' and sNicholas Nm turn" Not only does the letter come unsought and unexpected to the recipient, as all who know him can readily believe, but the gentle men subscribing it are those who expect no fa- vors in return, and who give this eommenda- tion because they believe that it is.

A beardless young man, of pale, studious fAce, clear blue eyes, dreamy aspect, and chest- nut locks--this is Edison, the inventor of the PhonograPh. He is very deaf, and, it is said, ton. The phonograph is his 15eth patent, and trom his inventions he is said to draw Q large income. He has handsome house, but does not himself enjoy society, and is never so mis- erable as when he is idle. It is related that when in New York few weeks ago, he spent three hours in an organ factory, and in that time made four practical suggestions to the manufactures, and learned to play six airs.

Advice From Chicago.
Chicago letter to Troy Times. )

% Chicago letter to Troy Times.)
 , As rule do not believe in news cor.
 respondents advice. But wish to offer a
 little to those who may have an itching to come to Chicago in hopes of bettering their fortune. Irefer to these who have no money, or no prearranged business engage menta. If there are any young men. or old men either, who are comfortably, or even moderately we'll fixed in New York,
 Vermont or any eastern territory. I emphat- ically advise them to remain where they are, in preference to coming to Chicago without definite or ssttled business connec- tions. It may be Chicago is not different from other large cities, but it is a matter of fact that there are actually thousands of men here who are out of employment and who are not likely to secure any for some time to come. For every vacancy there are hundreds clamoring. Instance,-an acquaintance of mine desiring an assistant book keeper in his office, three-line ad- Yertisement in the Tribune brought to his poet office box 365 applicants in single day, and the remuneration offered was only $50 month. Some of these applications were really pitiful, and exposed a world of unwritten care and distress. i.-.ss' ,rt
 Work work work was the sorrowful prayer. There is man in this city who was counted worth Sso, 900 in 1872, and who refused bonus of $5,OO0 for the lease he held upon store on State street at that time. To-day he is driving an express wa gon, delivering ice cream, for salary of el2 per week. A printer, who was partner in concern who had business of $s0, ,O00 per year five years ago, is now setting type at the case in second rate ofice, glad enough to get that to do. But it is useless to multiply these cases. The world of anx- iety which hangs over the unemployed find its fullness here if anywhere. Therefore I lift warning cry to any and every reader of the Times who may be making an even living, not to throw 1t up to come to this city on uncertainties. If you have ready capital, good practical business experience and are wide-awske, Chicago is a good place to locate in and beyond us, in the growing and thriving sections of Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnessota, there are splendid opportunities for men of money, muscle or brains to develop the country and make comfortable homes for their old age. Bank presidents are not wanted, nor clerks either soft jobs with big salaries command . high premium, with none in the market. For all these and divers other reasons, you have the advice of an old resident not to come to Chicago now to get employment.

The Ten Eyok Exeoution.- .--There seems to be a general desire among the whole people to have the execution of Ten Eyck in Pittsfleld in August public exc cution. The large room in which it is de- signed to execute the sentence of the law upon the condemned, will admit of but a few besides the officers in charge. and it is thought that if the old custom of perform ing these duties should be adopted in this case, the effect of the example upon the murderously inclined would be salutary, and hence the moral effect of executions would be greatly enhanced. To be sure some will say that the only motive the thou- sands upon thousands who would go to Pittsf1eld on that day to witness the ex GU
 tion. if made Tn the open fieIus wneIe all could see it, would be to satisfy morbid passion to see man hung, and it is doubt less true that this would be 80 but suppose it Is: Can any harm come from gratifying this deslre on the part of the people? It would seem as if the inhabitants of this re- zion, whose feelings were so shocklnglY outraged by the inhuman butchery of two ot our most esteemed and respected cit- zens, ought to be indulged in the gratifica- ton of this passion If it would be any sat.
 isfaction to the people to see the author of this misery hung, their wishes ought to be respected. It is question whether the 'powers that be" can be prevailed upon to respond to this universal desire, and which has already become almost demand, but the effort should be made. Exactly what is the proper course to pursue to bring about this change in the prescribed rules and regulations in the management of this matter, we are not prepared to advise but that there is correct way of proceeding there can be no doubt. and way that if properly managed will undoubtedly meet with success. Where is the man or men in Sheffield or Harrington, who will take the necessary steps to have this change brought Ahontp It is now none too early to begin.
