 Narrow Escape From Fatal Mistake.
 Yesterday morning about half-past ten o'clock, MT. Stephen Rowe. father of Daniel Rowe, the druggist, made sad mistake which came near costing him his life. His health having been poor of late, the doctor ordered him to take porter, and yesterday he took large dose of corrosive sublimate and alcohol, very deadly poison used for the ex- termination of bedbugs, which some of the family purchased yesterday and carried home in porter bottle. Mr. Rowe drank heavy dose, not noticing the label ''poison," sup posing it was porter. As soon as the liquid entered his throat he discovered his mistake and aroused the family, who gave him about pint of castor oil and sent for Daniel, who took pr. c. s. Thompson with him and hurried to his house, North Quinnipiac street, Fair Haven East. They found the unfortunate man suffering great agony, but by prompt acting and strong antidotes he was soon relieved and is out of danger. His throat and stomach were very badly burned by the poison, but he has so far recovered that no serious results are feared

Sink or Swim.

Discussing the question ''Shall we sink or swim ?' the Bridgeport Standard advances this theory: ''An animals swim by instinct on first venturing or being precipitated into the water. Those that do not swim as if born to the element are never so overcome by fear as to lose self-possession and sink. Man possesses the same animal instinct, and is physically well adapted to float and re- gain terra frma, as any animal not amphib- ious or web-footed. His fear of death by drowning ignores the instinct and its natural promptings and drowns him." The theory is correct. The writer distinctly remembers being picked up and thrown, when quite young lad, from the bank of river well out into the water, where his only safety appar- ently lay in his capacity to float or swim And swim he did, although previous to that moment he had never believed he could and he has ever since been thankful to the big brother who tossed him off that bank

The Narraeansett.

Yesterdays New London Telegram says !: The steamer Narragansett arrived here from Cold Spring, L. l.; in tow of the Coast Wrecking Company's tug Relief, at O clock this morning, and remained until 6 o'clock, when she was lowed to Noank At high wa ter to-day the steamer was hauled upon Palm CTS ways, in the latter place, to enable an in spection to be made with view to determin- ing whether she is worth rebuilding While at Cold Spring the Narragansett was pumped out, and all leaks patched, and she was lowed thence without the aid of pontoons
 It has been announced that the investiga- tion into the causes which led to the collision of the Narragansett and Stonington would be commenced in this city Thursday. It is not at all certain that it will begin on that day however, for various causes have conspired to delay it beyond the appointed time.
 dispatch from Washington says that in the Cabinet meeting Tuesday the proposed investigation of the Narragansett disaster was discussed to some extent and it was deter mined to proceed to thoroughly investigate the matter at New London. The investiga- ton will be carried on in such manner as to determine whether or not the steamboat inspectors are in any measure responsible and whether they have been negligent of their duties.

ssThe Edenic Period or Man"

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 I have read with deep interest the article
 ''The Edenic Period of Man." by Alexander MacWhorter, in the Princeton Review for July. It is not written in support of any theory whatever, but is an attempt to show in the light of geology and the archaeology of history that the Edenic Period is historic, both as regards the earth and man, and that the teachings of geology and the cosmogony of Genesis as to the time and circumstances of mans first appearance upon the earth are It brings forward many new facts and combinations never before applied to the consideration of the questions involved, and marks decided advance in the method of handling the interpretation of the first eleven chapters of Genesis.

Al Pastor,s Chnrge.

The Naugatuck Sentiners Milford core spondent pays fine tribute to Rev. MT. Bid de, formerly of this city, who recently re- signed his charge at Milford. Few young pastors leave charge more highly esteemed and more regretted. Of Mrs. Riddle he writes In this connection we would speak of Mrs Biddle's cooperation with Mir. Riddle in his labors with us-how earnest and cheerfully she has labored for the good of all classes in our town, and long will her influ- ence for good remain with us. How trying to her it is to be obliged to cease, because of the terrible malady by which she has been afflicted We learn that it is not their inten- tion to assume new pastoral duties inmedi- ately with any other church.

The Excursion Season.

The Rush to the Seaside-Large Parties
 from Hartford, Merfden and Ho1yoke-
 Other Excursions
 The Hartford male choir visit Savin Rock Friday. This organization had day at West Haven shore last year. Their reputation for fine singing and splendid service in the Moody and Sankey campaign in Hartford had extended to this section prior to their visit here last year. They gave some informal specimens of their accomplishments at the
 shore last season, to the great pleasure of many visitors who were present. They will
 be accompanied this year, as last, by many
 friends, and party of 200 or more is ex-
 pected. It is probable that they will come
 by extra train especially as the First Baptist church of Meriden also has it's picnic at West Haven shore the same day, which, with the choir, will, it is expected, make 8 throng of five or six hundred people. The First Baptist church of Meriden have on one or more occasions hitherto had their annual pie nic at West Haven shore.
 To-day large party of Massachusetts peo- pie, principally from Holyoke and vicinity and numbering 800 or 600, visit West Haven ! shore. They come by special train on the Hartford road, which will carry them through 1 to West Haven depot, which is 8 short walk from the main avenue, where the throng will take horse cars for the shore. Howes serves them mammoth clam bake, with Merritt Thompson chief of the bake.
 The congregation Mishkan Israel had their annual day at West Haven shore yesterday. The children went down and returned on special cars, happy throng A large num- Der of the members drove down or went
 down in the horse cars in the afternoon. The party numbered 300 or 400.
 The Park street Congregational church, Bridgeport, with their friends held their an-
 nual picnic at High Rock Grove yesterday. They went up on a special train of nine cars, leaving about nine o'clock.
 High Rock Grove seems to be in demand
 this season. The Nichols Farms M. E. Sun day school, desiring to picnic there, found
 upon application that only Monday the 26th
 of July was open to them, with chance Gf
 the day should be stormy the following
 Thursday, provided the intervening Tuesday and Wednesday are pleasant. If not, the party who had engaged for one of those
 days had reserved it. Arrangements were
 being made to go on the first named day.
 The temperance people of New Milford
 picnic at Parlor Rock to-day. The Washing
 ton Park M. E. church, Bridgeport, were at
 Parlor Rock Tuesday.

Promising Look for the Crops.

Promising Look for the Crops.
 A special to yesterdays Hartford Times as to the crops in Western Connecticut is as fol lows: Having has advanced to such 8 stage that the report of the crop can now be given. The general report is that fair crop will be secured and it undoubtedly will feed better than last years. On occasional pieces the crop is better than last years, while on others there is next to nothing. The crop generally is 8 disappointment to all, it being better when cut than expected. The rye crop has turned out splendidly we'll the straw being good and the berry plump. The crop is not nearly secured, many pieces lying spread during the late lowry weather, much to the detriment of the same. The oat crop will be fair, but not large Many pieces will have to be cut this week, as they are ripening fast, and rusting slightly. The heavy showers of late have been an injury to this crop. Potatoes are looking fair, where the bugs have been kept off or Paris green used. If we are not mis- taken the bug has done more damage and been more numerous the latter part of this season than ever before in this vicinity. The corn crop is very early and looks as whole better than we ever knew it before. The stalks are tasseling out and the set in many places; and, barring storms, or any other unforeseen danger, there will be an early and most excellent crop. The fruit crop, as before stated, promises a rich and abundant harvest. This also promises to ripen early. On the whole we think the present crop prospects of the season are not discouraging.

Drowned at sexmour.

Charlie, aged about 12 years, son of Wm S. Cooper, of Seymour, was drowned in the Naugatuck river while bathing Tuesday af- ternoon. In company with younger broth CT he had gone into hole just below the first crossing south of the village, and wading up to his neck stepped out into deeper water before he was aware of it, and being unable to swim was drowned. The body was re- covered soon afterwards by man who could wade all about in the hole. The father was telegraphed at Forestville, where he works, and was expected home yesterday.

A Sudden Denarfnre.

George H. Hubbard, of East Haven, young man who came to the place five or six years ago, very suddenly removed with his family recently. On his departure it was found that he had offered note of $55O at the Second National Bank in this city, pur- porting to bear the indorsement of Alfred Hughes, Esq, of East Haven, a brother-in- law and benefactor, and had obtained the money; also that he had obtained the money on a note for $500, this also purporting to be indorsed by MT. Hughes. Recently the notes matured and MT. Hughes found his name had been forged. Hubbard had been loaned $500 by Mr. Hughes some time ago. MT. Hughes gave note for the amount to assist Hubbard in his milk business and furnished the money to pay the note. Mir. Hughes furthermore stated that the young man had left his home July for parts unknown, taking with him his wife and their only child. It is stated that Hubbard gave his wife but half an hours notice with which to make preparations for the journey. He would not tell her even where they were going. Before leaving she had only time to say that she was going away, but where she did not know. Some little time ago Hubbard told several parties that he had about $2, 500, left him by an aunt out West, and with this-money he proposed to go to Canada to trade in horses, conse- quently it is thought that Canada was his destination at the time of his sudden. depar- ture.
