Burglars in Bridgeport.

Sunday evening the residence of w M In- gersoll, No 16 Clarence street, Bridgeport, was burglarized between 7 and 9 o'clock, while the family were absent at church. An entrance was effected through a side window on the ground floor and the house ransacked from top to bottom. In the bedroom occu- pied by MT Ingerson the bureau was ri1ed and articles of value taken. The thieves who are supposed to be professional, removed the marble slab from the top of the bureau, thus getting into the top drawer, and from that opened the remaining ones. They succeeded in securing about fifty dollars in money, 8 ladies' gold watch, two ladies' gold neck chains, several napkin rings, silver spoons
 forks, and quantity of other silverware
 the greater portion of which was solid. The police department of this city was notified

Accidental Drovvninr.

The particulars of the drowning of Eugene Shepard in the Housatonic river are as fol lows He started to fish in the river about nine o'clock. Late in the afternoon his ab- sence caused anxiety and search was made. This disclosed his dead body at the edge of the river. One foot was on the bank and one hand was full of earth, as if he had made great effort to save himself. On the line were four fish. It is probable that, as he had been suffering from heart disease, he was attacked with it while bending over to pick up his fish preparatory to re- turning home. Falling into the water the work of death was completed.

Our Llttleness in the Universe.

Astronomers sag that this world of
ours, which seems to us so large, is
in fact so small in comparison with
the sun aud stars, that It's presence or
absence is, to the universe, matter
OF inconceivably small Importance !;
aud that, even in its own system, it
would hardly be noticed by an eve
capable of taking in at one view the
sun and its attendant planets. Sir
John Herschel gives the following
Illustration of the size and distance
of the bodies: Choose he saws.
well levelled field. On it place a
globe two feet in diameter this will
represent the sun; Mercury will be
represented by grain of mustard
%edus1, 9ess iiGiGqYe fffgRpaoe e es eisella
diameter the earth also a pea on
circle of 4so feet; Mars, rather
large pins head in a circle of 954
feet; Jupiter, moderate sized
orange in a circle nearly hall miie
across Saturn, smaller orange on
a circle of four fifths of a mile: Uran
US, full-sized cherry on a circum.
ference of circle more than mile
and a half; and Neptune, a good
sized plum on a circle, two and a
half miles in diameter" If our earth
were struck out of existence,it would
hardly be missed from such a system.
But this is far from the extreme
measure of our littleness. The even.
ing sky is studded with stars. Be.
tween us and them is empty space.
A look across it, the distance does
not seem so very great, aud even as.
tronomers were long in learning how
great it is. and how utterly isolated
the sun with its train of planets is
from even the nearest star. Keeping
the same scale as before, in which
our inconceivable distance from the
sun, 925 millions Of miles, was re-
duced to dozen rods or SO, and
then setting out to visit our neigh
bors, if we are lucky enough to turn
our steps to the nearest, we find be-
fore us journey of nearly 1000
miles. Had we directed our course
to any of the other stars, orr road
would have been many thousand
miles longer. There are stars from
which light requires 5000 years to
reach our globe.

Ex-Governor Washburn on a Solid
South.

has written the following note to
William II. Moore, Republican Con-
gresham elect from the Memphis
District;
Minneapolis, MINI, Nov. 6, 1850.
The Hon. I'm. r. Moore, Memphis,
Tenn.
My DEAR SIR Permit me TO
congratulate you on your election to
Congress. | do so with all nv heart.
but | congratulate the people OF Ten
nessee, the South generally, and the
whole country more. 1t is the best
augury for the future of the South
that | have seen since the close of
the War. My recollection of you is
OF the most pleasant character. To
meet in those days a Southern man
OF education, wealth and high per
sonal character, standing by the
Union under all circumstances, was
pleasant thing. Your pronounced
opinions during the war, always firm,
but kindly expressed, make your cleo.
ton specially gratifying to me. a
Solid South is not good for the
South. 1t is not good for anybody.
Your election, and that Of Gen.
Hawkins Governor. is a long stride
in the right direction. The North
must not longer be misiadged. We
are not enemies. We want to see
peace, pros oerity and happiness pre-
vail throughout all our borders ; the
laws bearing equally upon all, and
faithfully observed and maintained.
Only guarantee personal liberty,
equal rights. freedom of speech, and
faithful observance of the constitn
tional amendments and we shall be
your friends, rejoicing ia your pros
perity, aud glad to serve you when
We can. 1t is strange that the South
should adhere to the Southern De
mocracy. Il can bring them neither
honor or profit
Very truly yours,
G. G. WAsaBURN.

Storing Butter.

Butter is an exceedingly sensitive
product, and when it is to be stored
from two to four months, great risk
OF loss is taAen. The best butter is
liable to be spoiled ia few DAYS by
exposure to bad air, or, it NAV be
SAID, by exposure to any air of tenn
perature above % degrees. The i'm
portant thing to do is to exclude the
air. 1t We had package that could
easily be sealed air.tight and then
placed In storage room not above
60 degrees, the finest butter might
be kept indefinitely without injury.
Il Is now established that the air is
hlled with germs capable of destruc.
tive development in any fit medium.
Ii butter were freed wholly from all
casein and albumen. destructive fer.
mentation could not occur; but we
have no process IN butter. making bv
which the oil in milk can be separat.
ed IN an absolutely pure state. 1t is
therefore liable to rapid injury by
contact with the air.
The Danes put up their butter
which is to be kept for an indefinite
period IN alright tin packages of
I'VE to ten pounds. and these again
are packed in wooden cases. But
the objection to tin is its liability to
corrode; it would be much more ap-
proprlate to put the butter into small.
alr-tlght glass packages, and pack
these in safe wooden cases. 1t does
seem as if this might be practically
accomplished, and then no possible
harm could come from contact with
glass. The finest aroma and flavor
OF butter ought to be preserved, in
this way for years.
But at present the most practical
way of excluding air from butter is
to suspend the sacks of butter in
brine. BY surrounding the butter
with strong brine the air is quite eff.
tectually excluded. This plan has
been tried and found practically to
work well.
One way is to stop churning the |
DutleF when 1t comes in small gran |
nles, OF the size of wheat kernel to
that of pea, wash it, and then with
out any working, place it in large
tubs, or barrels, made so as to hold |
brine; fill loosely with granulated
butter, then saturate the whole with
strong brine, and head up tight. This
has been found, months afterward. to
come out in the finest condition.
Another is to have straight tubs,
slightly faring at the top, and the
butter, after being worked in the
tub. The upper head has tight /! |
inch plug, the head is replaced, and
hoops tightly driven. Now strong
brine is introduced through the hole
IN the head, the tub completely filled,
when the plug is driven and the sack
OF butter is suspended in the brine
and air excluded. Butter may thus
be kept in hot weather.

From a Dime Mover,

"6gizziy Dann had led a wonder

red devils, and was obliged to run
for his life. He headed for the brink
OF cliff about 700 feet high, dodg.

able through long practice to tell tho

approached from the rear. Grizzly
Dan unhesitatingly leaped over the
cilff, to the amazement of the Indians.
who gathered in a row to watch him

was falling, raised his Winchester
rife TO his shoulder and pulled the
trigger. An Indian toppled over
with ball through his eye, and Dan
kept pulling the lever and trigger
until seventeen red devils had balls
through their left eyes and were fall.
ing over the cliff after him. The
eighteenth shot only carried away
an Indians nose, as the air was so
full OF falling Indians between DAN
and the top of the cliff that his aim
was a little confused. He struck
