course this morning on Essentials to church
Growth"
Frederick Myers, aged about forty years,
died Thursday night after q short illness.
The funeral will take place this afternoon
from the Lutheran church.
Matt Clark sold his mare Keevie c., by
Almont, to Isaac Staples Thursday. The
mare has exhibited some very fine trotting.
She will probably be placed on the farm.
"Nip and Tuck as played by the Harry
Webber combination Thursday gave the
best satisfaction of any entertainment given
in the city for some time, and the firm of
Nip & Tuck provoked laughter just as easy
''as A. B. O."
Invitations are out for the grand mas
querade ball. 1t is intended to make the
ball success in every particular, and care
will be taken that no improper characters
gain admittance.
Afalse fire alarm at about 4:30 o'clock yes
terday drew out the fire department and cit
liens in large numbers. The cause of the
alarm proved to be fire built in South
Hall for the purpose of thawing the ground
so that the men could dig down to the gas
pipes, which needed fixing.
A. Rohrbach has backed out of his bet
made the other day, that his mare could run
three-fourths of mile with two men in the
cutter, in lao. Abe lacks the nerve and
backbone which should characterize the
secretary of the jockey club. The club
should elect new secretary.
Reports continue favorable from the pine
ries. VIM. Foran, foreman for Isaac Staples,
came down from Moose, Thursday night, and
reported every one doing good work. If the
thaw which commenced yesterday, continues,
however, it will probably change the tenor of
the reports from the woods.
The ice was the scene of some fine track
sport yesterday afternoon, number of fast
flyers being present. A. Rohrbach con-
scented to let his horse run, and she was
driven the half mile by D. L. Cooper in
1:2415, to cutter. The probabilities are that
there will be some fast time made this after
noon also.

The Mooilus Noises.

The scientific theory that the earth is a cooling globe, bound for the same desolation as the moons, is every now and then brought before us, and Prof. W. N. Rice, of Wesleyan University, accounts for the Moodus noises by means of it. These noises are like those that gave Bald mountain in North Carolina a sudden renown as the coming United States volcano few years ago, but more remark able They occur in Mt. Tom (East Had dam, Ct ), one of the half dozen sugar-loaf hills in the Connecticut valley, like the one so named in South Deerfeld and our own neiphboring Tom. The hill was called by the Indians Mackimoodus, ''the place of noises," and from the first white settlement down almost to the present day it deserved the name, the latest manifestation occurring in 1852 on a Sunday. A devout minister in 1729 was uncertain sEwhether there be any thing diabo1ical in these things, but this know, that God Almighty is to be seen and trembled at" He says
 I have myself heard eight or ten sounds successively, and initiating small arms in the space of five minutes I have suppose, heard several hundreds of them within twen- ty years, some more, some less terrible. Oftentimes I have heard them to be coming down from the north initiating slow thunder, until the sound came near or right under, and then there seemed to be breaking, like the noise of cannon-shot, or severe thunder, which shakes the houses and all that is in them; they have in manner ceased since the great earthquake.
 In these disturbances, particularly during the considerable earthquake of May, 1791, great Assures were opened and immense stones thrown out of their places. Alegend current in the latter part of the 18th century was that some 30 years before Dr. Steel came to Haddam from England who dug up 1.-two pearls of great value which he called carbun- cles," near Salmon river, and told the people that the noises would cease for many years, as he had taken away their cause, but there were other carbuncles growing which would bring them on again-and it had actually happened that, after a long quiet, the noises were beginning again in 179O. Prof. Rice says that they are simply small earthquakes, such as are frequent in regions of greatly disturbed metamorphic strata" and due, like the severer earthquakes, to the contraction of cooling globe. Dr. Holmes effectively en- ploys phenomena like these for the striking catastrophe of the rattlesnake ledge in his novel of ''Elsie Venner. ."-Springfeld Re- publican.
