To-DAY occurs one of the great events of the century-the formal opening of the great suspension bridge connecting New York and Brooklyn cities, spanning the East river, and carried by causeways back to level with the streets. A structure 135 feet above tide water supported by cables, and so firm that trains of steam cars can cross without vibrating it so as to be felt. Truly the word impossible has little place in the American vocabulary. The idea of the bridge was first conceived in 1866, but it was several years later before steps were taken to build. Fortunately the construc- tion has so far as possible been kept out of the hands of the ring-thieves who consti tute New York's city government, so that in point of cost and time of construction, it has happily disappointed those who ex- pected it to be done after the New York fashion of things

A cennect River steamboat Burn-


 Fire broke out on the steamer Granite State just as she was making landing at Goodspeed's, on the Connecticut river, on herupward trip, on Friday morning at about A o'clock. The cause of the fire is ur1-. known, but it's spread was rapid, and the .hawsers about being made fast to the dock were burned off Many of the passengers had to take to the water, but boats were at hand and rescued most of these; others were got on small ferry boat that was run along side. Four persons are supposed to have been drowned-Mrs. c. D. Main of New Haven, who had been married the day before, young negro named Jackson, 8 German emigrant, and one whose name was unknown. Only the bodies of Jack son and Mrs. Main have been found, and possibly these may be the only ones that lost their lives, though it. is quite prob- able that the other two mentioned were either burned or drowned. The boat, with a valuable cargo of freight, ,drifted down the river, grounding on a shallow, and burned to it's water line.
 The fact that the boat was near the dock and the prompt and judicious action of the officers of the boat, alone prevented ter rible loss of life, as most of the passengers were asleep in their berths when the alarm came. The boat was some thirty years old, perfect finder box, and the flames quickly ran from one end to the other. The body of Mrs. Main, who was 20 years of age, was recovered during the day. Her husband is terribly grief stricken, and in- sanity is feared as 8 result.

Hartford Courant, 21st E. w. Royce, 8 physician whose office is at Mo- 40 Asylum street, was lodged in jail yesterday, being unable to obtain bond of $1 800 in civil suit. About year ago Dr. Royce bor- rowed $500 from Hartford lady, whose acquaintance he had made through the practice of medicine. He gave note for the amount which was secured by lien on real estate located in Wales, Mass Dr.
 Royce represented that the property con- prised five acres, and that at the very low est valuation that could be placed on it it would bring $1,0O0. The note was con- tinued from time to time and finally went to protest. The lady in question instituted an investigation which disclosed the fact that while not exactly myth the Massa- chusetts real estate covered but two acres in area, that it was located in an out-of- the-way place, and if offered for sale it would not realize $50. She brought suit through her attorney, Joseph L. Barbour, and the doctors arrest and lodgment in the county jail was the result. The suit is is returnable to the court of common pleas on the first Monday in June, and if the case is contested the plaintiff will be rep resented by Messrs. Barbour and Jones.

SOMETHING NEW ABOUT THE ESUN.-AlthOugh Solomon told us, nearly 5000 years ago, that
 'there is no new thing under the sum-" it is well established fact that some startling dis coveries have been made sn the sun. Men have always had some vague idea of its heat ing power, but of it's other mighty agencies and infuencies they were largely ignorant.
 It is a subject as fascinating as it is instruct
 i've, and it is worthy of our earnest attention, especially when so admirable work as ''The Celestial Symbol Interpreted" (advertised in another column, published by J. c. McCurdy
 & Co.,, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, ) is within the reach of every one
 The learned author not only acquaints us with, and makes plain the newest scientific discoveries, but he also teaches, at every step, some great moral truth. Lest we be accused of undue enthusiasm in speaking of this book, we take the liberty of quoting the opinion of the able and critical N. Y. Observer: ''This work has been carefully examined by eminent, learned and orthodox diyines, who unite in testifying to it's great beauty, usefulness and truth. To some, the analogies may appear strained, yet they are not more so than the fgurative language of the Bible fairly war rants, and the illustrations are fitted to exalt our conceptions of the glory of God in nature, and especially as it is seeu in the brightest of all His works. The reader finds the evidences of Gods power and goodness constantly re- fected from the sun in these pages, and is led from admiration up to that adoration which becomes the creature contemplating his Di- vine Maker"
