Smith, late of the Springfield Re pubHcan's editorial corps, for three years past one of the lights of its editorial page, has is- sued the first numbers of the Newtown Bee under his proprietorship. It is needless to say that his work is of the best and that the Bee is an extremely readable and valuable weekly, which does honor to the thriving town and surrounding territory for which it is specially issued. We think the Bee will not only hive readable matter, of which it is full, but cell well, as it certainly is highly meritorious

Morning journal and courier., 1881-04-30


 John Roach is building for the Fall River line of Sound steamboats a steamer to be callen Puritan, which will have 300 state rooms and accommodations for 1000 passen- gers. She will be 3s4 feet long, 37O feet long at water line, s7 feet wide over guards and r feet six inches deep at sides. The double hulls will be divided into ninety-six water tight compartments, bearing pres sure of five pounds per square inch Steam will be supplied from four Redfeld boilers and there will be one inn mense beam engine, having cylinder of no inches in diameter with fourteen feet stroke. This cylinder was cast Thursday at Roach's Morgan iron works, and it is said to be the largest cylinder ever cast in this coun- try. Ninety thousand pounds of gun metal were melted in three hours and ten minutes. It will take two days for the cylinder to cool. The two main shafts for this engine will be forty feet long and twenty-seven inches in diameter, forged from wrought iron, and each will weigh S5, GOO pounds. The Puritan will have two feet more beam of hull and four feet more on deck over all than the Bristol and it will be fifteen feet longer and four feet wider on deck than that steamer. It will not be completed until the spring of 1882.

The Great Call for Those Elegant Silks,


 The great call for those black silks, black satin de Lyons and silk Merveilleux at Mon son & Carpenters is the business sensation on Chapel street. It is because nowhere else can such quality goods be found at such prices They are the cheapest black silks to be found in the city of New Haven. The store is just crowded during the busiest shop ping hours, and the scene when trade is at it's height at Monson & Carpenters tells in itself of the great popularity of this old established house with the ladies of the city and neighboring places. In fact, the firm has the largest stock of silks in New Haven The stock of these goods is superb, selected with the skill, judgment and taste. for which the house has long been noted. Their enter prise is appreciated, as is seen in the thrones of fashionable ladies focking to the store any bright morning or afternoon. In spring and summer dress goods in general and trim mings to match, parasols, passementeries, beaded fringes, ornaments, etc., there is a world of everything that the ladies delight to see, and such selection is better than a ong tiresome journey after what may not suit.
 
 The Chaldeam Legend Of the Creation. To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 ''The Chaldean Account of Genesis" by that enthusiastic discoverer, the late George Smith, of the British Museum, was first pub- lished about six years ago. Naturally, it has been talked about more than it has been studied. It was regarded by some as con- frming and by others as overthrowing the credibility of the book of Genesis in the He- brew and Christian Bible. second edition, very much corrected, has been published re- gently by an equally learned and, perhaps, more cautious scholar, Prof. A. H. Sayce, of Oxford.
 Having given to the Chaldean Genesis, and especially to its story about the creation of the world, such time I could save from other duties, thought that might render an acceptable service by giving the result in the form of a popular lecture.
 l propose, therefore, to give in the Center church on Sunday, May 1st, at half-past sev- en P. m., lecture (not sermon) on saThe Chaldean Account of the Creation as Compar- ed with the First Chapter of the Bible Gene. sis"
 This little explanation (perhaps should say apology) may be excused, inasmuch as an ordinary announcement of an evening ser vice would not be sufficiently explicit and might be misunderstood. LEONARD BACON
