WOULD BENEFIT FARMERS.
Plans for the Extension OtNthe Signal
Service Bure8d.

Special to tie Rssister.
WASHINGTON, January /25 Gen. Hazen
Of the Signal Service Bureau, has trans
nritted to Congress communication from
the National Agricultural Congress. asking
the extension Of the benefits OF the Signal
Service to the agricultural opeistions Of
the country. The desire Of the memorial
ists is explained TO be means for obtaining
timely information Of the approach OF
storms and inclemencies threatening de-
struction to the products of the farm, sent
to every accessible neighborhood through
out the country. A lstter from Gen. Hazen
accompanies the memorial, in which he
ssys that to reach what is desired, even in
a small degree, would necessitate the tele.
graphing of data to certain telegraph sta
tions-say at first a third OF those of the
Western Union Company's line-and spec
ial dispatches for this purpose, announc-
ing II arked changes in the weather, would
cost, for telegrsphirg services alone, $780,
OOO; for the necessary equipment of flags,
&c, for the above number of stations, S75-
90, and for hoisting of same, as 900. To
carry this out, more or less fully, is the ex-
treme of what it is thought the service
ought at first to attempt.

AN ECCENTRIC MisER's DEATH

Radcliffe, an old resident of this city, died
here this afternoon at the age Of seventy.
nine. He was born in Dutchess county.
but most of his life had been spent in butch
ering, farming and other pursuits He
accumulated wealth that is estimated at
$500, 900. Mr.. Radcliffe was never married
and had led strange life. For many years
past he had kept himself securely locked
up in one of his houses, shut away from
all visitors, and living with the strictsst
economy. II is said that he had not been
seen on the streets by anybody for years,
taking no part in the various interests
common to the world. An old colored
barber and doctor living near him, being
a special favorite, is believed to have been
the only person having access to this eccen.
tric individual during the later years OF
his life, save, perhaps, few OF his many
tenants when necessity compelled. Much
speculation is INDUCED in by the public as
to the disposition he has made OF his
boarded gains.
