GA Canoe Trip on the Coast of British
 Columbta.''
 Prof. E. 5. Dana gave the first of series of five familiar talks' ill Association Hall last evening. The hall was we'll filled and the Professor was listened to with the closest at tention for over an hour The subject of his talk was his experience in a canoe last sum- mer on the coast of British Columbia. Ar rived at Victoria, the principal town of British Columbia with G,0OO inhabitants, a steamer was taken to point farther up the coast of Vancouvers Island, from which the canoe trip began. The canoes are not light thin
 boats, but the one they took was 30 feet long, or , wide, weighing between 600 and zoo pounds, baggage 1,5Oo more, seven in the party, with two Indians (making 1,500 pounds more) and most of the time for the
 month of their trip of 600 miles, a "white-
 ash breeze" The tide falls 15 to IS feet
 often, and after camping at night finding the
 boat a half mile from the water in the morn
 ing was no joking matter The shore is fre-
 quently sloping, similar to Savin Rock shore The coast line of the Pacific above Washing ton Territory is rocky and very much broken and thousands of islands border it. Steamers
 take the passage inside the islands for 1000 mics. so that not more than fifty miles of ocean is encountered. The shores of the islands are very interesting, abounding in deer, ducks and grouse and the water is filled with multitudes of seals, which they fre- quently shot at but seldom hit. The coast reminded the Professor very much of the coast of Norway, which he visited two or three years ago. The Indians are very friendly and honest between themselves, but | great thieves among the whites live on the water, subssting almost entirely on fish ; catching large quantities in the summer which they lay up for winter. They much prefer American money. An American quarter dol lar would buy half deer and 10 or 15 cents ] fine 10 pound salmon, which the Professor S ! party considered reasonable The Indian houses are wretched enough. Made of split I cedar plank with floor and no chimney. l They build fire right in the middle, and the l smoke gets out as 1t can. Inland one or two l miles are incredible quantities of mosqui- ! toes, but there are none by the shore. The l Indians very superstitious and also very l sklllful ln carving sometimes carving heads 1 and various forms or sticks 40 or 50 feet 1 long, calling them ''totum sticks'' and stand 1 ing them before their houses
 The talk" was given in an easy, conver l sational tone, with frequent humorous allu 1 sions and at the close several questions were ] answered in reference to the climate, habits of Indians, etc. A hearty vote of thanks was 1 given the Professor at the close. The next l lecture will be given next Thursday evening 1 by Dr. Ayres.

 COLFAX LECTURE.
 Ex-Vice President Colfax delivered his very interesting and entertaining and pa- thetic lecture on "Jincoln and Garfield" last evening at Peck's Grand Opera House. Sev- eral hundred people were present and were evidently well repaid, judging from the interest and attention shown and their ire quent applause. The speaker narrated many incidents in the life of Lincoln, illustrating the humor, pathos, patience, self -abnegation and wide reaching patriotism and love of hu- manity of that illustrious man, and gave many fine allusions to the late martyred Pres ident The lecturer was warmly greeted. DREAMS, OR FUN IN A PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY At the Grand Opera House last evening, during the progress of ''Dreams," the audi ence was startled by loud voice from the gallery, excla1m1ng, 'Here, let that woman alone'' It referred to Willie Edouin, who just at that moment was placing his arms around the coquettish Ruby. While the crank on the subject of stage hugging was hustled down the stairs by the vigilant guard of the gallery, he remarked, s'Well I didn't mean anything by it; only I didn't want to see him kissing the woman. ''-R0chester Dene- ec'0t. The company will appear at the New Haven Opera House Saturday afternoon and evening, and those who attend cannot fail to be highly amused and entertained.

The First Shad

very interesting story was told in the
 1imes Tuesday, that shad was taken from
 the pound of MT. Pease at Saybrook Point,
 Monday evening, that it weighed 54 pounds,
 and that it was ''the first taken from the
 Connecticut river this year, and the earliest
 probably for many years" It is pity to spoil
 such choice item, but on the authority of g gentleman conversant with the facts, it may
 be stated that the shad was originally cap
 tured in North. Carolina, and was brought up
 to Saybrook on the steamer Columbia by MT. Van Vleck, New York fish dealer. It was intended for the breakfast of party of gen. tlemen who stopped over at Saybrook, on their way to the sale of the steamers at New London. For joke, the shad, wrapped in g paper, was let down by string from the boat into the river, so that it might be said that it was taken from the Connecticut. Un fortunately the string slipped, there was 2 long search with small boat and lanterns before the fish was recovered. As to being caught in pound, it may be said that fisher men in the Saybrook section do not usually set the stakes and nets of their shad pounds
 until later in the season than this.-Hartto20 0O2L7,nnf

About Hook Gloves.

The cost of afixing the hook fastening to any glove is high, owing to the royalty all have to pay to the owner of the patent, and therefore hook glove which is sold at a low price must be of very poor quality indeed, the cost of applying the hooks being large proportion of the price. After very careful ex- animation of every glove in the market having this fastening, we selected one which we knew to be of reliable make, and by adding less than the cost of afixing the hooks. at the expense of course of our usual close profit, we gave our customers at $1 25 for 5- hook length, really good and serviceable glove, which will give satisfaction to the wearer and be 8 credit to ourselves. We guarantee this glove against any imperfection which appears at first trying on. Our sales have been large and are steadily increasing.

 Court of Common PIens-Judge Torrance.
 In the case of State of Connecticut vs Frederick Hotch1ziss, of Waterbury, an action to recover the forfeited bond of $500 of Al fred Rice, of Naugatuck who was bound over by Justice Spencer August ,, the demurrer to the defendants answer was sustained. The answer set up by the defendant was that when he was to make an appearance here, the man whose bondsman he was could not come because he was in jail in LitchfieId county for another offence, consequently he could not be here. Judge Torrance took the view that this answer was insufficient, for under such defense 9 man could purposely commit in another county, lesser offence about the time his bond was to be called for a greater ofense and so escape the conse- quences of a greater ofense- Doolittle, Stoddard & Bennett appeared for the State and Greene Kendriok for the defendant The defense may now proceed in another way.

Marking down staple goods like these, which are saleable all the year round, is thing very seldom done, and housekeepers likely to need fine table linens soon should not miss the chance.
