Fair Haven Matters.

The First Congregational Church --
 What Was Done Yesterday After
 noon-A Generous PeOp1e-Debt Wiped
 Out.
 Yesterday afternoon Rev. MT. Hart, pastor
 of the First Congregational church, preached
 an interesting sermon to the cheldren, taking
 for his text the words found in the first
 clause of 2d Kings 22d chapter Josiah
 was eight years old when he began to reign.''
 At the close of the sermon the pastor an
 nounced that the chairman of the committee for raising the debt would like their attention for few minutes Deacon James F. Smith then went forward and said there was little less than $35O wanted to iquidate the entire debt of the church, and he would like to see the amount raised at that meeting. The pas tor made a few remarks, commenting the earnest efforts of the committee to relieve the church of the debt, which had been 8 source of hindrance to it's prosperity, and thought the call of the committee should meet with hearty response. Slips of paper were then passed around by the ushers, and BPS, 200 was raised. The chairman was much pleased with the result, and in thanking the church said he would not trouble them any more, but as the pastor was about to dismiss the meeting Dea John s. Farren rose and said he would like to see the entire amount raised, and suggested that the ushers circulate the slips once more which was done, and the additional amount of $7,61O was raised, which was more than enough to wipe out the entire indebtedness of the church. There was general rejoicing in the congrega- ton when this announcement was made, and after the singing of the doxology by the choir and congregation and the dismissal the mem
 bers, in passing out, fingered about the doors and vestibule congratulating one another up- on the happy result of the efforts to raise the debt. John Futile was awarded the contract for lighting the street lamps in the borough of Fair Haven East. The bids were opened and the contract awarded last Saturday night. - At the session of the Sunday school of the Second Congregational church yesterday, it was voted to hold their picnic at High Rock grove, the date to be decided upon at a fu- tura 1neetin0

The new shell was built by Waters Son, is 58 feet long, and is built after the model of the Keast cedar shell used by the crew last year. The rig is entirely different from that of the new Waters shell, which has proved signal failure. The boat, although not so nicely constructed as the first shell, is much stiffer and very well adapted to Yale's heavy crew.

Some Scientific Results Obtained i'm the

18th Century.
 [Dr John w. Draper, in Harper's Magazine for July
 These pages would fail me were I to at- tempt to relate in detail the many minor sci entific subjects that occupied the attention ot the eighteenth century-if, indeed, minor they can be called how the predicted return of Halley's comet struck every one with wonder; how La Caille was sent to the Cape of Good Hope to determine the parallax of Mars, and make catalogue of southern stars; how Bode published his celebrated law, which led to the discovery of the asteroids how Bouguer in Peru and Maskelyne in Scotland determined the attraction of mountain masses and how from those results Hutton (177S) computed the mean density of the earth making it 45 times that of water; how Cooks first voyage was undertaken in 1769 partly for the observation of the transit of Venus, and partly for the exploration of the Pacific Ocean: how the measurement of time was rendered precise by Graham's invention of the mercurial pendulum and Harrison's s invention of the gridiron; how the more ex- act determination of terrestrial longitude was accomplished both by observations on the place of the moon, and by the transport of time; how the British Government paid to the heirs of Mayer reward of $15, 1000 for his tables, and to Harrison $100,000 for his marine chronometer how the redecting auadrant-that an-important instrument in navieation-was invented by Godfrey: how the disputes respecting the figure of the earth were attempted to be settled by expeditions to Lapland and Peru. Conspicuous among the inventions of the age were the exquisite engines for correctly dividing or graduating instruments for the measurement of angles. The century that had closed in the direction of physical research with the pile of Volta closed in the astronomical with the Mecan- ique Celeste of Lapland.
