An Incendiary Fire.

 A Barn Burned fin Newhallvil1e-Three
 Horses Perish in the E1ames.
 Shortly before o'clock this morning an alarm of fire was sounded from box 521. which is located at the corner of Newhall and Division streets, occa- stoned by the discovery of flames issuing from the barn owned by o. A. Bill and occupied jointly by him and Mir. James Me Guire. MT. Bill had two horses in the barn and MT. Mcclure one, all three of which perished in the flames. There were six or seven tons of hay in the barn, which had been put in only few days since, all of which was destroyed. The barn, which was of wood, burned rapidly, and owing to the distance which the steamers had to travel they were unable to arrive in time to save any of the property. A buggy, belonging to MT. Bill, was also burned The entire loss is estimated at over $1 ,o0O. It was not learned what, if any, insurance there was on the barn or it's contents. The fire was un. occasionally of incendiary origin.

The First steamboat.

The question has sometimes arisen when was the first steamboat line formed to ply boats to and from New London. The first notice that we find of this kind is the follow ing advertisement in the Connecticut Gazette of the date of March 5, 1877:
 ''The Sound Steamboat Line The line from New London to New York will com- mence on the 10th of March, and continue throughout the season as follows: 4 steam boat will leave New London every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at o'clock in the evening. Another will leave New York on the same days and at the same hour. They will meet at New Haven and depart from thence every Tuesday and Saturday at 5 o'clock in the morning-the one boat for New York and the other for New London. !" -IelegT0ns.

Musical Notes

Thoughts on Some Fine Organ Music
 Abroad by a New Haven Professor.
 A New Haven professor of music, J. l. Ensign, thus writes to the JOURNAL AND CoU- R1ER, under date of July 18th:
 After smooth passage to Liverpool and short visit to old Chester we reached Lon- rest. The first Sunday we attended High church service where the only parts that were not sung or intoned were the lessons from the Bible and the sermon. The organ playing and the vocal music were of high character, but, before we left, so much chant ing became monotonous. The whole con- gregation united very heartily in all the sing ing, which was led by well trained choir of boys and men. In the evening we attended Rev. Joseph Parker's service and heard the first of a series of discourses in reply to In gersolPs "What must we do to be saved2' The singing was led by good choir of ladies and gentlemen, who opened the services with one of Barnby's anthems, well exc. cuted, and sustained by fine organ At the close of the meeting MT. Parker made some sympathizing remarks with reference to the attempt on the life of our President, and the
 
 respond to some resolutions which he offered At Darmstadt, where we passed the next Sun. day, we were present at @ full service of the principal Lutheran church of that city. The organ playing was unusually good, displaying fine judgment in the proper use of the stops instead of the miserable mode too much in vogue in our American churches of using sc constantly the small solo registers in order te show what the organ or organist can do. The singing was led by choir of boys and men, who also sang sometimes alone. The whole congregation sang the melody in their long choral tunes, while the organist executed 6 different accompaniment to each verse. UL to this time have not heard an interlude be tween the verses. In Germany each verse is introduced by few chords that lead to the first note of the melody which is perfectly understood by all the people. In Dresden, where we spent the third Sunday in Europe | dral. How can describe the gorgeous ser. | vice with the lights, processions, kneelings postures, groupings, &c., of the priest and ! attendants I must leave it to the imagina ! tion? The service opened with an organ vol untary of five minutes in the best style. The most of the music of the service was sung \ by the Court Opera company without ! organ accompaniment, and it was about \ the best vocal performance that ever heard The pieces were evidently of the old Italian school, with fugues and limitations in singlt and double counterpoint, and shaded SO cor | rectly by the proper use of every degree oi force and effective crescendos and diminuen dos. The organ was used but very little I with the voices. One thing was quite notice ! able, that in many of the pieces and respon ses the close was on the Dominant, and ever
 the last chord of the Recessional was thu \ chord of the Dominant as we left the edifice
