R'AAN we ~ ENAhH0s
The boy baby which was born to the
female member Of Barnum's Zulu
troupe, was baptized by the Rev.
Father Murphy Of st. Peters church.
The civilized name Of the parents is
James, aud the child was baptized
Francis Joseph James. The mother
is a devout member Of the Roman
Catholic church. The name of the
child was recorded on the church
books, and there it will probably
remain for many years to come, as
that Of the first Zulu child ever born
in Rome. The mother left this city
on Tuesday for Syracuse, where the
circus exhibited. By advice Of the
physician she left the child behind.
She felt very badly at leaving the
baby, aud was a pitiable looking object
crying at the depot. 1t was deemed
best that the child remain here in
better hands for a few weeks until il
should be in better condition to trave

would have been had it avoided some
very grave mistakes in its earlier his

similar work. No topic seems to have
excited so much interest as the prob.

The Last Survivor.

Augustus Willoughby, who died in Bran
ford Sunday, aged SO years and one day, was
the last survivor of the crew of 60 young
men of New Haven and vicinity who joined
the 100 already on board the brig Holkar, of
New York, to engage in privateering during
the war of 1912. The brig anchored in New
Haven harbor to get recruits, and was en-
route to the West Indies, the coast of Brazil,
or wherever the fortunes of war might lead.
The Holkar made many captures but was at
last driven ashore by the "A gun
ship Romulus. The Holkar captur
cd the Surur, which was transport
ing female convicts to Botany Bay.
The prisoners were put ashore the Cape
Verde islands and returned thanks in loud
cheers. Willoughby lost his share of prize
money by the misdoing of an agent and
abandoned the sea, locating here in his bust
ness. For thirty years he was one of
the night watch of the city. He
had great daring and an iron
constitution. These did great SER
vice among the disorderly West India
sailors at the head of the wharf, and in 1854
and 1853 assisted on the side of order in the
town and gown riots. He spiked the cannon
the firemen had trained upon the college
walls. Upon several occasions he narrowly
escaped with his life, he or friends turning
aside revolvers or other deadly implement.
Mr.. Willoughby has four children living
one in Branford and three in this city.

Our Timber Interests.

Americas Trees-Pine Trees and Pine
Cones.
The sixth lecture of the course to mechan-
les was given by Prof. Daniel c. Eaton at
North Sheffield Hall last evening, on 'Pine
Trees and Pine Cones" There was quite
large audience present who were highly in
terested in the discourse. The lecturer first
spoke of the growing scarcity of timber ow-
ing to the destruction of the forests and the
wastefulness of the people. ga continual
chopping," said he, ''has been going on for
two hundred and fifty years and. people are
now beginning to see the probability of tim
Der becoming very scarce in a few years.
There are about three hundred and fifty diff
ferent kinds of treeR in this country, of which
about thirty are pines"
The speaker then gave an account of the
botanical relation of pine trees, showing, that
they, together with spruces larches, cedars
and yews, belong to the order c0fIterG, so
named because most of them have cones for
fruit. The c0niter@ and two other small Or
ders form the class called gymnosperms,
which class is in some respects the simplest
and certainly the oldest of all Towering
plants. The professor went on to describe
the more important kinds of pine trees.
''The white pine" said he, sis the most val
liable of all. Trees of this kind formerly
grew two hundred and fifty feet high, al
though such large specimens are now no.
where found except perhaps in the inacces-
sible forests of Maine. The pitch pine,
found in this locality, grows in sandy soil,
has much coarser foliage and very rough
bark. The timber is somewhat resinous, but
after all is quite useful. Ships have been
built almost entirely of it. The southern
pine, known as Georgia pine is a heavy and
imperishable wood, and is the source of
pitch, tar, turpentine and resin. The sugar
pine of California and Oregon is the largest
pine tree that grows, often reaching height
of three hundred feet The wood when
cherred exudes kind of sap, which is but
little resinous and quite sweet and preferred
by some to maple sugar. The cones of this
tree vafy in length from foot to a foot and
half"
The lecturer also spoke of the New Jersey
pine, the nut pine of California, the sto ne
pine of Italy and the Scotch pine. Boards of
the last named tree are called by the English
''deal," and are as highly esteemed for build
ing purposes as are our yellow and white
pine lumber. 1t is said that from the inner
bark of this tree the Laplanders make bread.
Specimens of leaves, cones and even the trees
themselves were exhibited during and at the
close of the lecture. The next lecture of the
course will be given tomorrow evening by
DR.. E. II. jenkins, of the experiment station,

vennor,s Predictions for march.

The entry of a month does. not necessarily
imply it's first nor yet second day, but rather
its first week. I make this explanation be-
cause see it is required by some of my
exquisitely accurate readers and critics. The
month then this year Q8S2) is likely to enter
with storms on both sides of the Atlantic,
probably about the 3D., 4th Or 5th, accom-
panied by heavy snowfalls. In western
Ontario, western, northern and southwestern
States the indications are that storms will
rage with great severity, and that in north
western and southwestern sections an in
tensely cold snap will be experienced. A
sudden and rapid thaw is then likely to reduce
all to slush and water again, and floods, as
consequence, will occur over several areas.
But further details and dates will be found
below among the items relative to the month.

to be frosty and cold according to location)

Shell Fisheries.
Decision by the Shell Fish Commits

A Decision by the Shell Fish Commits
sion.
The Shell Fisheries commission have rem
dered decision on the contested application
of George H. Belcher for designation of 100
acres Of oyster ground in New Haven waters.
The application is denied. It was opposed
by Henry G. Rowe through John W. Alling,
counsel, on the ground that it would encroach
upon former grant to him, under the old
town law, of some 800 acres. Mr. Belcher,
through W. K. Townsend, his counsel, sought
to show that Mr.. Rowe's designation was
fatally defective for several reasons, chief
among which was the fact that the original
grantees who transferred their designations
to him took out according to the terms of
their deeds but 1852 acres and also because
Mr.. Rowe did not comply with the statutory
provision about the exclusion of muddy or
rocky bottom
The following is a copy of the decision by
the commissioners
New HAVEN, March 6, 1882.
In the matter of the application of George
III. Belcher for one hundred acres of oyster
ground, No. 100, objected to by Henry G..
Rowe, the respective parties having appeared
and been fully heard with their witnesses and
counsel, it is ordered that the application
aforesaid be and the same is hereby rejected;
but nothing herein shall be construed con-
irming the title of said Rowe to said grounds
or any part thereof as against other designa-
tions.
