STAGE LINE.

Although Princeton has no railroad
facilities as yet, she is blessed in having
first class stage accommodations; four
horse coach 3, leaves Princeton for Elk
River every morning in the year, Sun
days excepted, and returns every ey-
ening, thus Princetonians receive the
st. Paul papers on the same day that
they are issued; the American House
is headquarters for this end of the
stage line.

eight furlongs to equal a mile, he comes 10
the following conclusions: "The heavenly
city will be 1900 miles in each of its d.
menslons, which will accommodate all the
people Of all the worlds with separate apart.

The yard-master at Jackson junction, Mich, who was responsible for the recent fatal collision on the Michigan Central road, has become demented He recently went in to the yard and began opening and closing switches at the same time yelling to the yard men to hasten the trains out of the way as the express was coming. He finally seemed to imagine that collision had occurred and cried, ''There they lie Don't you see those dead women ?" This is not the first instance of insanity from such cause. The engineer responsible for the terrible disaster at Nor walk in 1853, went insane afterwards, or was so reported. And the designer and contract or of the defective bridge at Ashtabula ccm- mitted suicide soon afterward, while out of his mind.-CouTdnt ,r.

There have been so many bottles, and corks, and bits of board found at various times containing last messages from wrecked people that skeptical world looks at them all with doubt. It is an easy way to ''disap- pear" if an insurance is to be collected, and il is an easier way to deceive if some idiot pro. poses what is called a practical joke. So many bottles.were found after the loss of the City of Boston that nobody paid any attention to them, and all their effect was to create in4 dgnation at the unknown writer. Now comes. bottle from the sky, which probably deserVes the same opinion. Itpurports to be from Professor Wise relating that he is near ly dead November 2d, and is 'sup in a balloon boys'' and unable to come down.

Thanksgiving assumes the aspect of an annual lnstaument of our indebtedness to our Maker, and who, but for legislative decree would re. pudiate the entire debt, are they whose mar row conception places the law of God subordi- nate to human ordinances, forgetting that hu- man law is founded on the divine. The old time requisite for true Thanksgiving, viz :- fasting, is fast being erased from the category of rites and ceremonies, and when the few lin gering disciples of the ''old blue laws" shall have gone to their reward, it will be among the things of the past. The puritanical idea of Thanksgiving observance partook more of the nature of 8 penance and self-denial than the modernized conception of it's purport, which calls for "glad festival ;" simply merry-making carousal, which under the guise of Thanksgiving offering, renders the day one of Thanksgiving only in name. As un- derstand the definition of the word Thanks giving, it is the earnest outpouring of sincere gratitude to the Giver of all good gifts; the humblng of ourselves before God in realizing sense of our own weakness and dependence. Can such sentiment be fitly expressed in carousal2 Shall we screen hilarious celebrd- tion with the cloak of sacred Thanksgiving By the masses the day is considered holiday on which debauchery and revelry are license by divine and human law
 l advocate nothing but consistency in these things. Sincere, genuine gratitude will never render farcical the observance of Thanksgiv- ing. There is need of more perfect realiza- tion of the purport of the day; ivelier ex- ercise of the principles it is designed to teach. ''The greatest of these is charity" Unchar- itableness is nowhere more forcibly exempli- fled than in the palatial habitation of "plenty and to spare" where exists & chilly uncon- sctoushess,of the proximity of next door want and starvation.

Mrs. N. S., Killey, proprietor of the Poughkeepsie Farmer, made flying visit re- gently to Norfolk, Winsted and Hartford and speaks thusly of her impressions of Norfolk and Winsted: ~'- <.:-
 We have recently had the pleasure of a trt to Hartford, Conn! On our way we coulo not resist the temptation to again visit ou friends ln Norfolk, and make promised call at Winsted. ..~.
 It was during tie lovely days of October that we again saw these delightful villages 'mong the Connecticut hills, and were given, opportunities by ourtriends, the families of Hon. J. K. Shepard of Norfolk and J. H. Vaill, editor of the Winsted Herald, for view. ing and enjoying the beautiful scenery that surrounds them.
 We remember with much pleasure our visi to the hospitable home of J. A. Shepard Esq, and the pleasant acquaintances we made with the Hon. Robbins Battell of Norfolk and Mr. md Mrs. A. L. Dennis of Newark The latter gentleman is the we'll known railroad mag nate of New Jersey. MT. Battell is gentle man of ample means and has made generous use of his wealth for the pleasure and con- fort of the people of Norfolk. One of his gifts IS the chime of bells, in the old church there This church, which we attended, is plain, neat and exceedingly inviting. Its rural simplicity, it's fresh green lawn and it's entire surroundings on beautiful day in early autumn inspires one with devotion, which is made more earnest, when the chimes each hour ring out their soft melodies on the air. Through the kindly attentions of MT. Vaih and family, our few hours in Winsted were most agreeably passed. A drive through the villages of East and West. Winsted and sub- urbs, then up to Highland Park afforded an excellent opportunity, which was we'll i'm proved, for noting the many points and ob- Iects of interest on the route, one of the most interesting to us beingsthe quaint old-fash- loned residence of Rose Terry Cooke, the eel ebrated authoress. The dwelling is an1 old substantial farm house, built many years ago, which was purchased by the gifted lady, who has preserved its ancient architecture High land Park is altogether the work of private eff | fort, and promises to be in the near future a great attraction. It comprises about one hundred acres of >rough and picturesque
 mountain land, lying zabove~ and overlooking
 the village, Timber, rock. shrubbery and
 lells, wild and almost inaccessible abound Winding roads have been constructed, that
 take you to the summit in the park upon
 which is an odd, but beautifully inished log
 cabin, built on rock overhanging great arG
 giddy depth. From this point the scenery is
 most grand and beautiful Far below the eye
 takes in at a glance the busy, bustIng, thriv l ing village of Winsted, with the iron bands which connect it with the commerce of the | world.

Post Office Department.


 A. D. Hazen, third assistant postmaster in his annual report says The whole number of letters and packages received and disposed of by the Dead Letter office during the last year was 2, 996, ,5l3-a decrease of about l9O,OO0 from the total of the preceding year. The fact that while an increased number of let ters were mailed 8 reduced number were sent to the Dead Letter office presents an anomaly which is explained by the increasing efficien. cy of the delivery service and the growing popularity of the return request" system. The extent of the latter is illustrated by statement that of 354, ,666 letters mailed in single day at New York, Boston, PhiladeI- phia and Baltimore, ls3,s79 bore upon the envelope some clew by which they could be restored to the writer if undelivered without the intervention Of the Dead Letter office r." Of the dead letters opened during the year, l3,775 contained drafts, checks, etc., of the value of over $l, 100000; about e4 900 con- tained money or stamps of an aggregate val. ne of about $34,ooo and aside from many thousand other letters containing papers, etc , of more or less personal value, there were found in 38,306 letters and parcels, jewelry, books, clothing, and miscellaneous articles in endless variety, from small bottle of choice perfumery to large box of Lmburger cheese The total number of letters registered for the pable during the year was 4, ,s90, ,763 and some 2O7, ,oO0 parcels of third and fourth class matter were registered during the same peri cd. The increase in the number of letters and parcels forwarded was 53o,2ls The ac- tual losses of registered mail matter were small, being only 9s9 letters and parcels. or about one out of each 1000 forwarded Mr. Hazen reports that the success of the new step taken last year, admitting third and fourth class matter to the privilege of regis. tration, has been amply demonstrated. No serious difficulties have been experienced in carrying the order into practical operation, and as the public attention has been directed l to it's advantages the business has steadily in- creased
 The beneficial effect of the change in the law regulating the compensation of fourth class postmasters, under which they are not | allowed commission on the number of post age stamps cancelled, instead of as formerly the number of stamps sold, are reported to be already very apparent, not less than $l ,0OO,- 900 having been saved to the government by this means last year, and it is noted by MT. Hazen that, aside from the pecuniary advan- tage, inestimable benefits have resulted from the change by putting a stop to the demoral- ization wrought among postmasters by the fraudulent speculations. in stamps to which the old method of compensation constantly tempted them

The annual recurrence of day, set apart and recommendei by government as day of Thanksgiving to Almighty God for His mercies and loving kindnesses, suggests 8 question whether the day is kept in spirit embodying the entire fulfllment of the injunctions of the president and several governors. Consistency Is jewel, and the motives actuating any pub lie or private demonstration of gratitude should be consistent with tho ruling motives of every day life and labor. Those to whom
