EFF. Greenleaf. NJ. d.. of Santana, Los
Angeles county, Cal, who is visiting his
brother in this city, C.. S. Greenleaf, Esq,
after an absence of A. years, brought with
him large box of oranges, lemons, figs,
raisins, etc, grown on his own plantation.
The oranges were delicious, as we know by
the most satisfactory of all tests. He brought
one cluster of four large, golden oranges
depending from a single twig, taken from the
tree August lst Mr.. Greenleaf studied med
ieine almost half a century ago with DR..
Hubbard of IIallowell, and was obliged to go
West on account of failing health. He set.
tied in Missouri, but went to the Golden
State at the close Of the rebellion, finding the
atmosphere Of Missouri rather sitting for a
Union man to breathe. Although he has been
absent so long he finds few old acquaint-
ances in our streets, one of them being DIR.
H. II. Hill. He saws Hallowell looks quite
familiar, but Augusta has changed greatly.
Mr.. Greenleaf will return to California about
the first of October to gather his raisin crop.

Lectures to Mechanics.

The fifth lecture of the course to mechan- ics was given by Professor Brewer at the North Sheffield Hall last evening. There was quite large audience present and the lecture-the second one on the history of geography-was a most entertaining one. The lecturer commenced with the close of the dark age and noted the progress of geo. graphical science from that period to the present time.
 At the conclusion of the lecture lime light views were shown of the maps of Ptolemy 1; the map of Foscanelli sent to Columbus and used by him as hif guide on his first voyage i; another by Juan de Ia Costa, who accompan- jed Columbus on his second voyage and made on his return to Spain; the first map of Con- necticut, made by Nathan Woodward in the year 1642, and another of the coast of Con- necticut made in the year 1719. The next lecture will be given next Tuesday evening by Professor Daniel C. Eaton on 'sPine trees and pine cones.''

In clos ing the speaker said: I say to you gentlemen there is no call and no need of new rail road and if you grant this charter you do a great wrong to the various towns in the State. I protest as citizen against build ing up one section of the State at the expense of another.
 Wallingford, Meriden, Hartford, Williman- tic, Putnam, and their sister towns have
 grown up to what they are because of the
 business brought them by these roads. If
 the new road is chartered, and is as suc-
 cessful as tuey predict in diverting
 business from the Consolidated and
 New England roads, these towns must receive
 serious check. The cities along the Sound, with Essex and Norwich, might feel a new impulse, but what New Haven gained Hart ford would lose, and what was added to Essex and Norwich would be at the expense of New London and the Shore Line towns. To charter new road when there is not busi-
 ness enough to make the old ones pay, for no better reason than that it would build up one part of the State at the expense of the oth- CT -this is the feast to which Connecticut Legislature is invited by MT.

Death of the Fair Haven Hermit.
Bruises Found-A Jury of Inquest Mak-
 ing Enuuiries

Bruises Found--A Jury of Inquest Mak-
 ing Enquiries.
 A jury of inquest was empanelled yester- day in the case of Francis Reilly, the Fair Haven hermit, who was found Tuesday after noon in dying condition in his old boat on the shore of Mill river, near the rolling mill, where he has lived, or rather existed, for several years past. He was found there by Assistant Superintendent Coogan, of the almshouse, and removed to the hospital. He was unconscious when found, and was in an almost nude condition. An examination showed that his right side was paralyzed and also that he was suffering from consumption. It was impossible to arouse him to conscious ness and within twenty-four hours after be- ing admitted to the hospital he was dead The remains presented very emaciated ap pearance, and his right side commencing at the eye and ending at the foot was covered with bruises and abrasions, while on the back of the head were several small wounds apparently made by fall or a blow. The right arm, hip, knee and shin were very badly bruised while every toe presented wound that looked as if piece of flesh had been cut ont. Justice Eli Mix acting as cor oner impanelled jury with George R Bill foreman. They viewed the remains and then heard the evidence of Dr. W. s. Russell, the house physician at the hospital who testified that he was satisfied that deceased died of consumption. The bruises, from an external examination, did not appear to be dangerous. Paralysis was probably caused by old age. The wounds being entirely on the paralyzed side might have been made with the left hand while the man was in pain, although it did not seem to the witness that such a large number of injuries could have been inflicted in that manner or even by fall; yet it was not impossible Dr. Russell in conclusion said that the deceased was very dirty when brought in and presented every sign of neg lecT; his appearance showed that he had been consumptive for long while.
 Superintendent Starkweather merely testi fled to the admittance of the patient to the hospital.
 Coroner Mix ordered an autopsy, which was made at 4 o'clock by Drs. M. c. White and William s. Russell.
 The jury adjourned until this morning at 9 o'clock, when further testimony will be taken. Detective Brewer made an investiSa- tion yesterday and was satisfied that death was not the result of foul play.
 Deceased was about sixty years old and had lived long time In his old boat or ''ark." He climbed up by ladder into the boat and then drew the ladder in after him. People living in the vicinity had noticed everything so quiet about the old mans abode that they suspected something was wrong and Michael Kendall and Alex. Graham climbed into the boat and found the old man lying as if para lyzed. The attention of Rev. Father Mul holland called to the case. The deceased had long attended St. Francis church. He was called Fiddler Reilly, as he used to fur nish music for dancing parties.
