TeleRranhtc Change.

The intelligence is received that Mir. J. Murray Fairchild, so long as it were the head and front of telegraphy in New Haven, has been superseded in the management of the
 Western Union telegraph office in this city. MT. Fairchild has been identified with the telegraph interests in this city for period of thirty years entering when youth, and for eighteen years has been manager and is we'll known as one of the best managers and teIe
 graph men in the country. His inventions have been many, some of them displaying ing remarkable talent and of a very superior order. When it became known that his re- moval was intended, 8 petition was circu- lated for the substitution in the position of his brother, William H. Fairchild, SO long assistant manager and treasurer at the office here. The petition was signed by large number of prominent gentlemen in this city, in hopes that the effort would result as the petition asked. MT. Fairchild's removal will occasion disappointment to his many friends His successor is Mir. J. H. Lounsbufy, form erly American Union manager at Hartford, whose ability and qualifications well fit him for the position, but who is of course not responsible for the change MT. Fairchild still retains his management of the Fire Alarm Telegraph and his occupation of that posi- ton was givena as the reason of the change and not any personal feelings of hostility.

The smallpo1 and the Brick Men.

Recently it was erroneously stated that Mir. Frank Stiles, of North Haven, visited this city and asked permission of Town Agent Reynolds to enter case at the pest house in this city We have seen Mr. Stiles and he has not been to this city with any smallpox case, or with reference to any smallpox case whatsoever. MT. Stiles says that the idea prevails among the brick hands that the smallpox cases came from the brick yards in the center at North Haven, which is not the case, there having been no cases whatever in the yards in that section. This impression prevents men from engaging work in the North Haven yards. The smallpox cases which have been brought in were from Quin- :lipiac, which is in the town of Hamden, and some two or three miles distant from the center, where there are several noted yards.

Church Notes,

The Rev. William P. Corbett preached to g large congregation at the George street M. E. church last evening on fThe hard thin gs of the gospel" His text was taken from the Second Epistle of Peter, 3d chapter and 16th verse 'tIn which are some things hard to be understood" The first consideration in con- nection with the discourse was ''the quanti- ty of light" which God has given us in the sacred volume. The second thought was s'Why has not God revealed more to us." This was treated, as was the preceding thought, in an able manner. MT. Corbett concluded his interesting discourse with re- marks on the light that will dawn upon us when we are through with this life and are safe in the heavenly city.
 Rev John P Taylor, of New London, preached at Center church yesterday. He spoke in the morning upon the subject of the necessity of tolerance in the Christian re- ligion as well as in other things He is an able and eloquent speaker. Mir. Taylor was the valedictorian of the Yale cla..s of '62.

of1nterest to the Iaritime Public


 The following letter, handed us by prom inent New Haven importer, will be found of interest to the maritime public.
 LANzARoTE, 16th April, 1881. To the Harbor Master, New Haven, Conn.,: Sir: Incidental circumstances having brought me here for short time, it seems advisable in the interest of American whaling and other vessels to call your attention to the following facts:
 1. Lanzarote contains the only harbor in the Canary Islands.
 ?. There is no other safe harbor nearer than Cadiz, distance of almost 600 miles, and during the greater part of the year, on account of the northeast trade wind which usually prevails in these attitudes, vessel in distress hereabouts could not get there.
 3. Santa Cruz infTeneriffe is the only place near here at which supplies and a reasonably safe anchorage are to be found, but Santa Cruz bay is an open roadstead, where with strong northeast winds aswel frequently sets in then during of shore squalls, or with northwesterly gales, it is no uncommon oc- currence for ships to be driven to sea, and this might be dangerous to life and cause the loss of valuable property, especially in the case of 8 vessel undergoing even such moderate repairs as by reason of the nature of the anchorage she can receive there.
 4. The harbor in Lanzarote bears the Aoh4IAO OA O1G 4N6OeS etAlA oeRAO e1AA CTS.
 5. Steamers coal at Lanzarote day and night, and, as the wind invariably blows off the land, the sea is quite smooth on the side of the island where are the harbor and coal ing station.
 6. Experienced pilots, cheap provisions and excellent water can always be had at Lanzarote. where there is every facility for reftting ships
 T. The United States consular agent here is both able and willing to look after the in- terests of American citizens.
 8. It has been officially announced from Madrid that this island is to have submarine cable and be placed in telegraphic communi- cation with the world.
 I send you this letter because too much publicity cannot be given to the above for the more the barbor at Lanzarote becomes known, the more it will be frequented by American ships in distress and by those which require repairs or supplies. Indeed, it appears to me you would do real service to the owners of United States whaling vessels if you would call attention to this island as being well adapted for them, and they ought in their own interest to take supplies at Lan- zarote, either by purchasing them here or by having them sent from home. am told an American whaler does look in occasionally but more of them should touch at this island and ought to add that there are no port dues for ships which neither land nor take cargo from here.
 If you require any more information on this subject, my services are at your disposal.
 l am, sir, yours truly,

The throng of planets that in April swarmed after the setting sun are already beginning to appear in the east just before daybreak. Mars has joined them, and his ruddy face may be seen peeping above the Long Island horizon at about 8 o'clock in the morning. He will hereafter be conspicuous in the planetary levee. The astrologers are now claiming that the dire effects of last months great conjunction are yet to be ex- perienced, and that these will begin in earn est in June. They have staked their reputa- ton upon the success of their predictions for f'the great year, " as they call it, and so are anxious to prolong the time within which the promised horrors may happen. The fact that they blundered as to the time of the conjunction by several days is not calculated to add terror to their threatenings.
