 Level.
 The altitude of the town of Litchfield in the northwestern part of the State has al- ways, says the Enquirer of that town, been mooted question. In ''Barber's Historical Collections" we read, in his account of Litch field, from it's elevated situation the town has the reputation of being remarkably healthy" but how much that elevation was no one has been able to say, with accuracy, from the days of Barber until the present. Mir. Elmore B. McNeill, c. (Renssel- laer Polytechnic Instltuto), who within the past year has been engaged as division engineer around ''Storm King, |" upon the West Shore Hudson River railway, being at home on vacation thought it good question to decide once for all, and about eight days since started off to run a line of levels from tide water, in Long Island Sound, to Litchfeld. He came into town, with his assistant, about 10 o'clock on Thursday morning of last week, and, as soon as the figures were made up, large tem- porary bulletin, which it is intended to re- place in 8 more permanent manner, was placed in the Center park, inscribed:
 Altitude above level (by actual survey) HIS 80 feet.
 Mir. McNeill was heartilly congratulated, and thanked, for his kindness in undertaking and completing this survey.

 An exchange says ''The lady is as engag- ing as formerly, and the passing years seem ! to make no change in her. Her Jane Eyre is one of her best assumptions, although it ! calls for very little melodramatic action, but rather quiet conversational style, which makes the play wear the sembance of nature. Many do not realize that they are listening to an actress of ability, but nevertheless they find themselves smiling when she smiles and weeping when she weeps." She will appear at Carll's Opera House Saturday afternoon and evening

in conclusion 1t may be said there never was a race at Hamilton Park that was conducted more fairly than the late one by the New Haven Driving association. The officers and members have endeavored to see that every thing be done fairly and strictly according to the rules of the National association At the end or every race the winners have been promptly paid without question, and the judges selected have been competent to fill their positions. The best of order has pre- vailed at the Park, and should the association see fit to inaugurate another series during the present fall they will DO doubt be much more iberally patronized than at the last.

1T STRIKES us as more than passing strange
that Of all our Virginia exchanges the Rich
mond Wing alone makes no complaint of
the atrocious manner in which the mail ser
vice in this State is conducted. Can it be
that the Wing is so good natured that it can
overlook little ncgligencies9 No; for it is
we'll known that it is chronic GROWER and
snarler, and that it snaps at everything the
Boss does not approve Of Perhaps, how
ever, the Boss does approve of the annoy
ance he is thus creating; for his lieutenant,
Capt. Wise, has already said, Howl, damn
you, howl; I've heard you funders howl be-
fore; !" and it is a well known fact that the
''funders'' that is the democrats) get more
mail matter in one day than the Mahoneites
get in month. But there is another posi-
bic solution to this problem Can it be that
the Wing and its mail matter have therieht-
of way over all others, and that anti Ma
hone papers are purposely kept back? We
have heard this intimated.

propriated nine millions of dollars for the

Virginia nor in that on the wine and brandy
