West Haven

Yesterdays extraordinary mild weather gave touch of summer to the borough as well as to the city, and quite number of sin gle and double teams were to be seen on the shore roads The shore residents were much interested to learn that they were likely to have a couple more fine cottages erected on the shore, perhaps the coming summer, and were much pleased to hear that Messrs Welch and Trowbridge had become property owners on shore The land sold was owned by Capt. Merriman. The price is not learned, although property is held along this section of the shore at $1OO front foot and some will not sell for less than $12O, and don't care to sell anyway. A Naugatuck gentleman has been looking around at the shore with the idea of buying site and erecting cottage. He has heretofore stopped at the shore on different 0ccasions

Seaman's Bethel.

Steps Toward the Erection of a Suitable Building for the Benefit of Jack Tar.
 Deacon Atwater Treat had in his hands yes terday plans for the erection of seaman's bethel at this port. The work of the Seaman's Friend Society.has been attendediwith..so much success and created so much interest that erect bethel will meet with entire success. We learn that the $1, ,O00 recently spoken of as possessed by the society has been increased to $1, 100, and that many are giving now so that something is being added every day to the fund. If sufficient funds are obtained we may look for a seaman's bethel at this port propably before next fall. It will be located at some desirable point, and the idea is to lave two story structure of pretty external appearance and fitted up with reading room and lecture room on the first floor and with a bath and rooms on the second floor. Jack Tar is to have some attention paid his moral and spiritual interests evidently and to a greater extent than hitherto. New Haven has so many vessels arriving and departing that there is quite little population of those who go down to the sea in ships every day at this port, take them altogether, and with ships coming in from England, Egypt, Italy, Nova Scotia, the West Indies and other countries, and also from many parts of the United States, including Long Island, where they have elopements which cause sensation, there is plenty of room for the exercise of good in fuences and wholesome teaching.

BuchhOIx Again.
The Second Trial of the Schulte Mur-
 GaRe

The Second Trial of the Schulte Mur-
 der Case.
 William Buchholz was placed on trial for the second time at Bridgeport yesterday afternoon to answer to the charge of murdering John Henry Schulte at South Norwalk, Dec. 27, 1s79 The first trial last September resulted in verdict of murder in the first degree and the sentencing of the prisoner to hanging. His counsel prepared list of exceptions upon which to ask the Court of Errors to grant g new trial, but had no need to present them, as the disclosure of the fact that one of the jur. ors had been talking about the case during the trial, enabled them to get the verdict sci aside on this ground. New evidence Is ex. pected at this trial. The court room wal nearly filled with spectators yesterday. Chie1 Justice Park and Judge Martin are the judges who hear the case. The Farmer says: 'sThe sheriff had previously been directed to imme diately summon an extra panel of 36 jurors as it was feared jury could mot be selected from the regular panel of IS. Buchholz wal not put to plead, his plea of not guilty at tht former trial being considered sufficient. Hi appearance has not materially changed since his last visit to the court room. The first two jurors examined acknowledged that they hae formed an opinion and were excused. Int third was challenged. It was regarded as cer tain by the lawyers that the selection of a jury would occupy all the afternoon"

Soft-Winged CharIty.

A well appearing woman asked for bread for her children at the house of 8 Bridgeport lady recently. The lady denied her, saying she had so many appeals, but something prompted her to go and enquire into the case. So she and lady friend donned their hats and sealskins and sallied forth. They found the applicants husband confined to his bed with prolonged illness. The Standard says: He went to Pennsylvania some time ago and married there. His wife was 8 mem- Der of the Lutheran church and he was 8 Catholic. Through the influence of his wife he renounced the Catholic faith and became 8 Protestant. He had been employed at the Cutlery shop lately as a grinder, but was con- pelled by poor health to relinquish work. In- huences were brought to bear upon him with the object of bringing him back to the Cath olic faith. He refused, and since then his story is that his people have refused to aid him, and have gone so far as to take the pill lows from his bed. A collection was taken up for his benefit in the Park street church Sunday evening, and he has been made con- fortable for the present by knd-hearted peo- ple who have taken the matter in hand.

To Cure Fits of SneeZing.

A correspondent Of the British lNed5-
cal Journal says "During the recent
rapid changes of temperature [ caught
a severe cold in my head, accompanied
by most incessant sneezing. My I'M
fortunate nose gave me no rest. The
slightest impact of cold air, or passing
from the outside air into warm room,
equally brought on a fit of sneezing.
In vain snuffed camphor and pulsa-
tilla; the light catarrh still triumphed
over me. At length I resolved to see
what the maintenance of uniform
temperature would do toward diminish
ing the irritability Of my Schneiderian
membrane, and accordingly I plugged
my nostrils with cotton wool. The
effect was instantaneous. [ sneezed no
more. Again and again I tested the
efficacy of this simple remedy, always
with the same result. However near [
was to sneeze, the introduction of the
pledgets stopped it at once. Nor was
there any Inconvenience from their
presence, making them sufficiently firm
not to tickle, and yet leaving them
sufficiently loose to easily breathe
through" This is really worth knowing,
for incessant sneezing is among the
greatest of smaller ills, and it seems
only a rational conclusion to hope that
this simple plan may furnish the most
efficient remedy against one of the most
distressing symptoms of hay fever.

What English Soldiers EAT.

It will be interesting to our army men
to learn the details, just published, of
the rations of the British soldier in the
field. A pound of bread, a pound of
fresh meat. half a pound of fresh yegeta-
bles, three-quarters of a pound Of -four,
and, at the discretion of the commanding
officer and medical staff, pint of porter
or half a gill Of spirits, form the daily
ration. AS it is not always practicable
to obtain bread, fresh meat, or fresh
vegeta bles, three-quarters of a pound of
biscuit, flour, or rice, are to be con-
sidered equivalent to the ration of
bread pound of salt meat or three
quarters Of pound of preserved meat
may be substituted for the fresh-meat
ration, and two ounces preserved yege-
tables, one ounce compressed vegeta-
bles, or a quarter of pound Of onions
or leeks may take the place Of fresh
vegetables.

A Trick in Faro.

I happened, in response to pressing
invitation, to find myself in law court
last Monday, when curious mode of
cheating at faro was shown. The game
is played thus Thirteen cards are
spread out on the table-that is to say,
an entire suit. A pack Of cards is shut
fled by the banker, then cut by a player,
when the banker proceeds to draw the
cards, one after another, from the pack,
first removing one. IF player has put
stake on any one of the cards which
has been laid out upon the table, he
wins, provided it's equivalent is an odd
card in the pack and he loses if it is an
even one. Now, it would seem impossi-
BILE that player could cheat the banker.
This is. however, how it is done In
shutting, the banker generally shows
the bottom card. When he hands the
pack to be cut, the player cuts an even
number, so that when the cut is put back
by the banker the player knows that
what was the bottom card will be an odd
one, and, knowing also what that card
will be, can stake upon it with GER
tainty that he will win. But how does
he cut the number OF cards that he
chooses? By very simple process.
One side of the nail of his thumb is al
lowed to grow straight, and little
notch is made in it. Provided the
length Of the nail from the notch to the
end be always kept the same, and that
he presses the nail against the cards in
cutting, he must always take up exactly
the same number Of cards. -LO2aCzo2a

Of Berks county, has a shrewish wife,
who has long rendered his domestic life
anything but couch Of roses. One

Extraordinary Longevity.

Prominent among the lay representa-
tives in the conference of the Methodist
Protestants at Pittsburgh, Pa, is Joseph
Wells, of Wellsville, Ohio. He is mem
Der Of family of seven brothers and
sisters whose longevity has, probably,
no parallel in the United States, the
youngest being beyond three score and
ten years. Their several ages are as
follows: Mary, SO; James, 81; George,
81; Joseph, 80; Ann, 80; Alexander,
70; Rachel, twin sister of Alexander,
70. The aggregate Of all their ages is
557 years. The father of that family
was William Wells, the founder OF
Wellsville. He died at the old home
stead, near that town, about twenty
seven years ago at the ripe old age of SO.
