It is claimed that there is a very select family of large and educated black bass in Bantam Lake in LtchAeld, Conn. We have always known that Litchfeld boasted of it's ayistocracy and pointed with pride to old hOmesteads where men now great made their hrst appearance on this worlds stage. We did not suppose, however, that this pride of spirit extended to the bass of the neighbor- ing lakes. but when party consisting of an official of our royal navy, very d;stinque in. dividual, member of the legal fraternity, who figures to great advantage in courts of law as well as tennis courts, the chief of one of our floating palaces, who speaks French with the accent of a native, and a member of the New Jersey press, fails to make their ac- quaintance, we think it must be so. Ldtch- fieldites can go out almost any day and return to dinner with f0ur-and-a-haIf pound bass and not "weary" oYer it either.

Attractions of the Season.
 The lawn party at the Hills Homestead on Monday evening was source of much satis- faction to large number of the people at the shore, affording much interest and pleas ure It was much talked of at the shore yes- terday as fine af air. The thunder shower cleared off just in time to prevent disappoint- ment. There was large array of Chinese lanterns and they were very tastefully ar ranged. large number of ladies and gen. tIemen enjoyed the dancing in the new dining hall alternated with promenading on the cool piazza. Later on refreshments were served.
 Another of those large parties at Skeeles' roller skating rink takes place this evening. The West Haven brass band furnishes the music. These assemblies have become i'm mensely popular, bringing large number of cottaeers and members of West Haven fam flies to enjoy them.
 Schools of the little bluefsh are occa- sionally deserted from shore, and few are now being caught of Kelsey's wharf.
 MT. Matthews, of Spencer & Matthews, and family are enjoying the season at the shore, having cottage near Bradley Point. Mrs. Radcliffe, widow of the late John Red cliffe, has 8 cottage at the same point.
 The ladies of the Sea View House, Monday evening, improvised 8 game of commerce, which afforded considerable amusement, prizes being taken by Mir. James Horton of New York, Mir. Smith of Hartford, Miss Spiro of New York and Meriden lady. Mrs. Henry Wolf, of New Haven, managed the commerce party and did it well, beside guarding the quarters from the depredatlons of tho sterner sex who endeavored to make some money out of the amusement.

 Mir. Hamilton thought it unfair to thrust this change on the commissioners without opportunity being offered for an enquiry as to the proposed changes. MT. Doolittle con cured.
 MT. Baldwin said the company were bound to restore the highways in good order and a sewer was part of the obligation.
 Mir. Hamilton said if owners of homes were to be destroyed in health by reason of these notifications of the sewers, they should be heard. Mir. Doolittle said the cit izens themselves had rights and the city was an incorporation by itself. MT. Hanil- ton said this was sprung in so that citizens oul not be heard before the Public Works board.
 Mr. Driscol said whether the Board of Public Works would accept changes of the Cheeseboro system he could not tell He had had no time to consult either the Board of Public Works or the engineer for the city. The whole thing must be trap
 H. E. Hewitt, in the real estate business with Fl, F. Hoadley, said the layout of the Hartford and Harlem would be an undoubted benefit. For passenger depot he should prefer the Whalley avenue location.
 Engineer J. c. Rowland of the H. and H. testified as to the best location for a passen. ger depot. He named between Chapel and Martin streets and between George and Oak streets. Referring to the depot being so far below the grade of the street, he said that Baltimore Union depot was 25 feet below l grade and the same was the case at St. l Louis. He thought it for the interest of large railroad companies to have freight and | passenger depots widely separated.

These principles, founded upon facts
gathered from experiments, are known
and can be taught to the children now
growing up as well as the multiphca-

from the private purse of Mr.. H. H.

most literally. In addition thereto he
has paid out several thousand dollars

Experiment i'm Potato Culture.
Cor. Country Gentleman.

Cor. Country Gentleman.
The contributions of Mr.. Talcott and
others relative to the cultivation of po-
tatoes, that have appeared Ia your
columns recently have been of interest
to me, and prompt the relation of my
own experience. Some three years
ago desiring to plant Snowflake pota-
toes, and having only very small pota-
toes of this kind, | wrote to Mr.. Tai
colt stating this fact, and asked him to
supply me with larger ones for seed.
He had none to sell, but advised me if
my Snowfakes we're as large as wal
nuts to plant them on good soil, one in
hill, and added, "See if you don't get
a good crop" Acting upon his sug-
gestion l did get good crop of large
sized potatoes.
Subsequent experiments have con-
WINGED me that the character of the
soil, cultivation and season, have more
to do with producing large yield than
the size of the seed planted.
But my purpose in writing this is to
give the result Of my experience in
raising potatoes for special prize Of
fered last spring by Mr.. A. COrbin, Jr.,
the secretary Of the Gouverneur Agri-
cultural and Mechanical Society. The
prize consisted of a wheel harrow for
the largest yield of potatoes from three
fourths of pound of seed furnished
by the secretary, who purchased bar
rel of pride of America potatoes from
Mr.. Talcott to be distributed among
competitors. The product was to be
exhibited at the Gouyerneur fair il
September, and the prize awarded by
the regular committee on vegetables
Nearly 300 competitors entered for tht
race, but only some 30 or 40 came tt
the scratch at the fair, myself among
the number. Ny allowance Of seeC
comprised six small potatoes, averaging
two ounces each, from which | obtain
cd 90 eyes and made that number O

The increased interest in the study
of astronomy that has taken place
within the past few years is simply
wonderful. Formerly only profession
al astronomers studied the heavens;
now telescopes of every size and dea,
cription may be seen pointing from
the roofs of houses and private obser-
vatories. As consequence more dis
coveries have been made during the
period specified than eyer before in the
same length of time. This result is
due to several causes, as will be shown
hereafter. Among the number of dis
coveries made by independent workers
may be noted the following: Mr.
Burnham, of Chicago, with only six
inch telescope, has discovered over one
THOUSAND double stars wholly new to
science. Mr.. Barnard, Of Nashville,
Tenn, with a 6ve-inch instrument, has
discovered two comets, both within the
past year. Prof Schaeberle, of Ann
Arbor; Mr.. Brooks, of Phelps, New
York, and Mr.. Wells, of Albany, have
all made cemetery discoveries of an
important nature. Prot. Swift, of
Rochester, has discovered two intra.
mercurial planets, several new nebul@,
and seven comets, for which he has
been awarded three German medals
and the LeLande prize of the French
Academy of Sciences. Brof, Hall, of
Washington, is the discoverer of both
of the moons of Mars, and Prof. Bond
of the eighth satellite and transparent
ring of Saturn.

deep hills in my garden "a sandy loam)
in each Of which | put one shovelful of
about equal parts of muck and ashes,
also small handful of Bradey's super.
phosphate, well mixed, putting one
eye in each hill. After the potatoes
came up gave them top dressing of
superphosphate, and during the dry
weather in July and August | kept the
ground well watered from a small hy-
drant in my garden. The vines were
kept free from potato bugs by using a
stick and pan-no small task.

still green, the potatoes were dug and

and smooth skinned potatoes as one

ing for the same prize, fancied that
was fairly "a winner, as indeed would
have been had not that expert potato
grower, II. G. Pearson, of Pitcairn, N.
Y, put in his appearance with eight
bushels of potatoes raised from the
three-quarters of pound of seed he
received of Mr., Corbin, out of which
he obtained, by means known only to
the initiated, 1873 hills, making four
hills from each eye. The only satisfac-
ton had was in being second best,
and having the finest looking potatoes,
and this is the point | have been so
long in reaching. Heretofore l have
been able to raise in my garden only
cabbY potatoes, almost unfit for use,
while these were perfectly smooth and
of unsurpassed quality. To me, the
practical question is, was it the muck,
the ashes or the superphosphate that
produced this result? If some of your
potato growing readers will inform me
| shall be greatly obliged.

there was no fire, and he must be
