Narrow Escape.

Yesterday morning as the Shore Line owl train which is due in this city at 12:4O 8. m. was switching out a car, and while nearing Long Wharf crossing, backing down, a young man named Newman, somewhat under the influence of liquor, attempted to cross the track in front of the car and also tried to jump on. Night Watchman Edward Dona- hue, who was in charge of the car, jumped of and grabbed the man and barely escaped getting knocked down. He showed him clear of the car. Leavingthe man in charge of the gateman be succeeded in getting on to his car again. It was narrow escape, and it was due to the watchman's coolness and good judgment that a serious accident to both of them was averted.

Retreat for the Insane.

The fifty-seventh annual report of the Re- treat for the Insane at Hartford shows sta- tistics as follows: On the 31st of March, 1880, the whole number in the retreat was, of males, 68; of females 75; total, 143. The admissions during the year have been of males 60; of females 54 total IA. The discharges have been, of males, 62 of females, 53; total 115. The deaths during the same period have been, of males, 16; of females, z total, 23. The whole number under treatment during the year has been, of males, 128; of females, 129; total, 257. The number : in the retreat on the 31st of March, 1881, is. of males, 66 {; of females, 76; total, 142. There have been of recoveries during the year 36, IS of each sex. Of this number 30, 14 males and 16 females, had no previous recovery-record, while of the remainder one female had had four, one male and female each had had three; and three males had each been twice discharged as recovered. The recoverles have been rather more than 30 per cent. of all admissions, and something less than 50 per cent. of the number of first admissions. This coincides pretty nearly with the history of the institution in this respect during the last few years. There have been discharged improved, r. How many of these will ultimately recover It IS 1m- possible to say, but fair to presume that some of them will Thirty have been dis charged as stationary. Some of them have been removed to their homes by friends un- der the impression that they will never re- cover, and therefore treatment in an asylum is useless, while others have been removed to State asylums with the view of economy.
 During the years legacy to the retreat, under the will of Mrs. Anne E. P. Sever, of Boston, of $5, 900, has been received, which to that extent has increased the charitable resources of the institution.

R1st of President Woo1sev.

Professor John F. Weir's bust of ex-Presi- dent Woolsey at Yale College was shown pri- vately to few friends in this city the other evening and was received with marked favor both by Mir. Weir's fellow artists and by men who have studied under Dr. Woolsey. The bust is an excellent likeness of it's subject as he appeared about fifteen years ago, when he was in his physical prime, but it Is much more. Dr. Woolsey is distinguished for the balance of his moral and mental powers, for his executive force and determination, and for great natural lbenevolence-this latter quality, however, not being always obvious, although it's existence is unquestionable. Professor Weir has caught and preserved all these lead ing traits in most happy combination and in due proportion. The result is not at all con- monplace. On the contrary the whole as- pect of the head is distinctly classical, and this result is reached not by effort but as natural consequence of the truthfulness of the artist A pure minded, high-spirited, nd-hearted and able man is the personality disclosed by Professor Weir's manipulation This head is designed for the colossal statue of President Woolsey which Professor Weir has in hand, but it would be an excellent thing if some wealthy alumnus of the college would give the artist an order to have the bust put in bronze for permanent preserva- tion in Alumni Hall.-Neao York Fge7aing

Fair Haven.

A few remarks protesting against annexa-
 tion are occasionally heard in the borough, and the desire is expressed to get out an in-
 junction to suspend or prevent the confrma- tion of the act, on the ground of irregularity in the passage of the bill, on the claim that it was not submitted to the committee and alleged insuficiency of notice to the two towns The friends of the measure are sat- isfied and content and rest easy, confident in the defeat of any attempt to undo what
 has been done by large majority.
 The evening meetings at St. Francis
 church the past week, held for the women of
 the congregation, have drawn out throngs. The preaching of Fathers Shaw and Abbott
 is eloquent and full of spirituality. The eff fects of strong drink was the topic of one of the evening discourses, and it was a temper ance address which the hearers will not soon forget, for it's earnestness and graphic picture of the woes which come from intem- perance. The evening meetings next week are for the male members of the congrega- ton.
 Decidedly one of the most beautiful gar dens in Fair Haven is that of Hiram Camp, Esq, on Ferry street The large plot on the left of the residence fairly blooms with conservatory plants and fine plants which will bloom later. On the tract of land In the rear of the house and grounds proper are vegetable gardens quite extensive. The peas are already two feet in height.

Steamer Ashore.

The propeller Galatea, Capt. Wal den. of the Providence line, went ashore Thursday night about 12 o'clock on the east end of Little Gu1 Island. The fog was very thick, and the cap- tain states that he did not hear the whistle at Gull Island Light The shock when the steamer struck was so slight that the officers thought she had only come in collision with a small boat. The steamers Stonington and Francis, of the Stonington line, went to her assistance yesterday morning. Capt. Scott left little later with the Alert and wreck ing schooner. An intellectual attempt was made to get her off at full sea. Her freight was being transferred to the steamers lying alongside. The Galatea is a freight boat, and the few passengers who were on her were brought to New London on the Alert yester- day noon, and they took the o'clock ex- press to New York

The SmaIIpox Scare,

Among the cases of smallpox reported is the death of John Brush (coloredO at the Bridgeport pest house on Thursday. Two cases have also been discovered in Harwin- ton among emigrants recently landed.
 William Pritchard, employed at the North Haven brick yard, from whence Holt was taken, who recently died with the smallpox at the pest house in this city, is sick, and it is not certain whether his disease is smallpox or something of 8 malarial nature. Every precaution will be taken however.
 The two remaining patients at the rest house in this town are getting along nicely, and the attending physician has great hopes of their ultimate recovery. It is thought that the danger of the spread of this disease in this city has been overcome by prompt action of the authorities

Strange Behavior of a Hawk.

"As wild as hawk" is familiar saying supposed to be derived from the known char acteristic of the widest of birds. A resident of that part of Trumbull street near Park river has for year past had in confinement a red-tailed hawk-the largest variety of the species. Recently he resolved to give the captive his liberty. But the hawk, lately so fierce and untameable, had apparently lost his wild instincts-he had to be actually poked out of the cage with a stick before he would start. Then he flew to the dividing fence between that yard and the next, and from that vantage point viewed the situation. Then he flew back into his cage He was again poked out, and this time he flew to 8 tree on the park, on the bank of the river, but soon returned again to his cage. Being forced out third time he flew to the fence, took long look at the blue sky, and then sailed of into it's shoreless depths. He has never written to his friends since.-Hartford TI2neS

Where Do All The Hats Go Tn .
