It is unoficially reported that President Watrous of the Consolidated road has de- clined to accept the conditional resignation rendered by John T. Moody, superintendent of the New York and New Haven division, and has acceded to Mir. Moody's request for more help by appointing Conductor Frank Hermance assistant superintendent. The re- ported appointment of MT. Hermance was last evening pronounced correct in railroad quarters. It will give universal satisfaction.

 NEW LONDON, Sept. 6.-The centennial celebration of the battle of Groton Heights, commonly called 'tthe Fort GriswoId mas sacre," commenced this morning under somewhat unfavorable auspices. The sky was overcast and light fog prevailed. About 10 o'clock it lifted and the weather was very hot and sultry. Vast crowds were in attendance. Bunting of every shape and color is elaborately displayed everywhere, the City Hall, old court house, the New Lon don Northern R. R. building, the Crocker and Belden Hotels being prominent in this respect. Excursion trains and steamers brought large influx of strangers from various surroundings. At o'clock minute guns were continuously fired from Fort Gris- wold and the bells were set ringing in all the churches. At 10:30 to 12 o'clock the assault upon Fort Griswold was made. The British were represented by the Connecticut militia under command of Brigadier General Smith, the garrison at Fort Griswold by United States artillery from Fort Trumbun and by volunteers from Groton. This novel scene was carried ont in a creditable and successful manner. No casualties of any kind marred the event. During the fight the naval forces kept up 8 continuous cannonade which gre atly heightened the grand spectacle At noon national salute was fired from Forts Griswold and Trumbun and from the naval fleet of New London harbor. The afternoon exercises at Groton Heights commenced with prayer by Rev. Dr. Bacon of New Haven for the restoration of President Garfeld's health The Marine band of Newport followed with choice selections. Senator Joseph R. flaw lev then delivered an ora- tion The various scenes and incidents connected with the massacre were rehearsed in a masterly and eloquent address. This was followed by various American anthems, music and poem. General Sherman made few remarks at the conclusion of General Hawleys oration. At 5:30 8 grand proces- sion of the Connecticut military took place. They were reviewed by General Sherman and Governor Bigelow. It is estimated that be- tween 40, GOO and 50, GOO strangers witnessed to-day's demonstrations. Tonight both New London and Groton are magnifcently ilumi- mated by grand display of fireworks.
 GRoToN NOTES.
 The special train that left New Haven yes- terday morning for New London took away 800 or 600 people from hefe. The train was added to at various stations, ,and two or three delays occurred waiting for extra engines. Finally the train numbered thirty nine cars and three locomotives. It did not reach New London till noon, when there was hurrying and rush to get to the sham battle, which was partly over, though it had been delayed an hour.

A QUEER LETTER.

QUEER LETTER.
 Coroner Bollman yesterday received a very strange letter, which he says is only one Of several of similarly queer and strange charac- ter he has received in this Cramer case. This one is signed A. C., and came from Providence. The writer claims that he met Jennie Cramer on the night of her death and attempted to outrage her, but without suc- cess. He did not believe her and attempted liberties which she resisted. He then ad- ministered some Spanish fly (cantharides) in some cream candy and then ac- complished his purpose. He acknowl- edges that he could not bring the girl to, and became frightened. After Providence, walking nearly half the way. 'sGod knows didn't intend to kill her," he adds and then goes on to say that he don't care d-n for Jim Malley and would just as lief see him hung as not. The writer asserts that his father is dying and it would hasten his end to learn of the mishap, but as soon as his paternal sire dies he will give himself up to justice He advises Mir. Bollman to inform James Malley of the letter and tell 61m It comes IKOm A. U. dlQ G0ou S60 now Q0 takes it.
 THE IMPORTANT wALL1NaFoRD WITNESS. Miss Mary Harland, of WaIlingford, the important witness for the defense spoken of two or three days ago. is described as 8 very beautiful girl, about eighteen years old, wearing her dark hair in the prevailing fash iop-banged; clear, healthy complexion. dark blue eyes, covered with long black lashes, with just bit of dash in her walk i; about five feet three inches high; very pretty figure, to which is added elegant taste in dress, in which kind father has indulged her. From other sources, considered relia- ble, it is learned that Miss Harland was in New Haven on that eventfu1 Friday, and in the company of James Malley, and it may be was the young lady who was seen walking with him.
 It is reported that James mother was a frequent visitor at the Harland house. MT. HarIand is prominent man there, having Q valuable contract in R. Wallace's Sons' Man ufacturing company.

One Sight Of the Sea.Serpent Enough,

The sea-serpent has been seen again,
this time in inland waters. 1t was in
the Machias Chain Lakes, and Mr.. +.
Hall, Of Calais, was the individual who
met with the encounter. In relating
his story he waxeth earnest, is impa
tient at any expression of doubt, and
his excitement. evidently unfeigned,
convinced his listeners. It was broad
daylight, eleven o'clock a. m. the hour,
when he beheld the spectacle, and Of
course he can not be mistaken. He
and another logger were ON the shore
OF the lake when the serpent came

his head six feet in air, bore down upon
them. When very close to Mr.. Hall
and his horror-stricken companion the

Covering Strawberries.

Often there is much said, and espe-
cially at this season of the year, about
covering strawberries; and many per-
sons are induced by what they read to
act so as to heartily regret it when the
spring comes round. We have known
people to act on this suggestion, and
cover their strawberry beds with ma.
nure, and find the whole completely
rotten in the spring. And yet a little
covering with the right kind of mate
rial is not bad thing. If the plants
are entirely unprotected the leaves are
Drowned and often destroyed; while it
must have been noted by every observ-
ant gardener that the best fruit comes
from plants that have managed to keep
their leaves bright and green till their
spring-ilowers appear. And this is why
covering of snow the whole winter is
SO good for the strawberry crop. As
we have remarked, when the leaves are
Drowned the crop is small: but when
the snow covers the plants all the winter
long. they come out in the spring in the
best possible condition.
But we cannot always depend on the
snow. 1t does not always come, or con-
tinue in a regular way. So if some
light material can be put over the plants
that will not smother and rot them. and
yet will be just enough to make shade
from the winter sun and a screen from
frosty winds, it will be doing q good
turn to the strawberry plant. Manure
is bad. There is salt in it, especially
when fresh, which is destructive to foil.
age; but clean straw, or swamp or
marsh hay that is free from weeds, an
swers the purpose very we'll. But it
must not be put on very thick. The
idea is, just enough to make q thin
screen. and yet not enough to hold the
moisture long. Shade without damp is
the idea Such light protection is good
for the strawberry plant. = Germantown

A Leak In Lake Ontario.

No little concern is felt by persons
interested in the harbor accommoda-
tions of Lake Ontario by reason of the
assured fact that the level of the lake
has fallen steadily and in a marked de-
gree for many years. The records have
been accurately kept, and leave no
room for doubt. Many wharfs in many
ports were formerly accessible to YES
sells which cannot now come near them.
Tho entrance to the harbor of Toronto
has been kept open only by means Of
thorough dredging, and now, when
rock bottom has been reached, there is
scarcely enough water to float the larg-
est of the vessels which seek to pass.
Various explanations for the subsistence
Of the water have been offered. but
none of them seems tn be adequate.
