IT WAS A MISTAKE ABOUT THE HOUR.


Perrin H. Summer, broker, of No. 81 West Forty
seyenth-st, ought to have appeared before justice
German at Essex Market Police Court on saturday
for e1 amin alton on the charge OF false pietences
made against him by Daniel NJ. Davidson or NO
66 ChaTlton-st who asserts that through these
false pretences Sumner defrauded him out OF % 500
in the negotiation of the transfer of mining stock
When the case was called sumner
was . not present and Justice Gormatl
declared 6is bond forfeited. Sheppard
Knapp the well-known carpet dealer, had iur-
nished bail for him In $4,000 and would be that
much out of pocket if Justice Germans decision
was enforced. But Mr.. Sumner makes an explana-
ton which puts different complexion on the case.
He saws that il was all due 70 a misunderstanding
on his part as to the hour whom tho case was to be
called. He thought that it was 2 o'clock IN the 81
ternoon instead Of 8 o'clock in the morning. Inns
explanation has proved satisfactory TO Justice Cor
man and Mr.. Knapp will not lose his $4,000;
Mr. Knapp told a rather curious story OF now ne
came to furnish bail for Mr.. Sumner, when nlu-
strates how mans enemies sometimes unwttll9y
serve him when intending to injure him.. Mr.
Knapp was turning the matter over In nus mind as
TO whether he should furnish bail for Mt sumner
with whom he was only slightly acquainted, when
pamphlet, probably sent by the other side, was
placed in MS hands. purportlng to give detalleu
h story Of Mr. Summers career, and heapng ali man
ner Of abuse upon him, This method OF persecu,,
ton so incensed Mr. Knapp that he at once consented
to furnish the bail and he says he is satlshed that
hn will not loose II.

MT. Tingue, the Seymour plush manufac- turer, who recently made many young people wealthy by buying collections of buttons, has given novel order to a Milford man. There are lots of rats in the plush factory and lots of cats in Milford A Milford man who visited the plush factory few days ago discovered the former fact and was already possessed of the latter. He suggested to MT. Tingue that cats and rats mix about as well as oil and water and that many of the former could be easily procured in Milford. This suggestion resulted in an order from Mr. Tingue for a wagon load of cats and the or der will be filled this week.

 the Papers Said of Those Occur-

 The JoI7RNA1. nr COURIER of July 1, 1858, ,o;5 sez.-.st night at 8 quarter before Il o'clock rumbling sound, similar to the passage of a carriage over a bridge, but more sonorous and more protracted in it's movement, attracted the attention of many of our citizens. Some of them felt their houses jar and glasses rattle, and by a sort of intuition became aware that the move ment proceeded from a crepitation of the earth. The movement was distinctly per ceived to be travelling from the southwest to northeast and continued for something more than a minute Not the least damage was done to anything in the city, nor, so far as we have been able to learn, in any part of the State The shock was felt in Bridge port, Milford, Woodbridge, West Haven, East Haven and North Haven-an towns which lie in southwest northeast lipe from New Haven. At the time of the shock the sky was clear and the air was perfectly still In about ten minutes after the first movement a second and slighter one was perceived by those whose attention had been attracted by the first"
 The Hartford Courant says: Old residents of this city have vivid remembrance of severe earthquake shock which occurred on Sunday, August g, 184O, during the after noon service in the churches. A prominent citizen states that at the time of the shock he was sitting on bank of brook, near the present location of the Union depot. The surface of the water was sensibly agitated, producing numerous small nipples. On re- turning home he was told that the congrega- tion had rushed out of the Center church. The Connecticut Courant of August 15, 184O, contains the following:
 "A smart shock of an earthquake was felt in this city and vicinity on Sunday afternoon. about o'clock. It was accompanied by low rumbling noise and report like heavy clap of thunder, and it's duration was from fifteen to twenty seconds. Our buildings were very much shaken, and considerable alafm was manifested. In one of the church es part of the congregation rushed out into the street."

Death of a Former Connecticut man In
 California.
 Captain Robert H. Waterman, formerly of Bridgeport, died on his ranch at Fairfield, Cal, about fifty miles from San Francisco, Friday, August 8, at the advanced age of seyenty-fve years. He had been failing for some time with kidney disease. The Stand ard says of him: Captain Waterman's home in his boyhood was on the east side of Main street, in this city, just above Golden Hill, and just opposite the residence of MT. David Sterling, sen. The families were in innate, and as time progressed came to be very closely allied. In the Waterman family, were two daughters and one son known to the writer, perhaps there were others. The elder daughter married the oldest son of the Sterling family, David Sterling, jr., who, on the breaking up of the Waterman family made home for the younger brother and sister. The late Captain John w. Sterling, another son of David, ST., was successful shipmaster sailing from New York in the China trade. Robert went to sea with him and in due time himself became master, and one of the most celebrated of his time He was thorough seaman skillful and remark ably successful for his owners. On one of his furloughs he claimed, and won the hand of one of the youngest daughters of the Sterling family, Cordelia, the twin sister of the late Mrs. Corne1ia Bunnell, who sailed with him on many of his subsequent voyages. On the breaking out of the Cali fornia fever, about 1849, he turned his clip per from towards the golden fields by the way of Cape Horn and made very successful runs. About 1850 he made the quickest voyage on record in the clipper ship Chal- lenge. Such was the pressure upon the crew that on their arrival at San Francisco they were determined to have redress for their real or fancied hardships, and Capt. Waterman retired from his post and forever quit his chosen profession. His ship returned to New York by other hands and he became quiet citizen of the Golden State. In connection with a friend he purchased very extensive ranch about fifty miles from San Francisco. For many years he divided his time between the ranch and the city of San Francisco where he had a fine residence and lived in elegance. For number of years he has con- fined himself to the ranch, where, it is said, he had everything in the same perfect order for which he was so remarkable on ship board. He has visited the home of his youth but once, when few years since he was on his way to Europe.ne

HoW if Hnppened.

A gentleman living in Bridgeport, who is a druggist and chemist, employs chloroform as an agent to aid in removing severe cold. He procures bottle and inha1es the anaes- thetic until he begins to feel the effect tend ing toward unconsciousness, and then ceases for while. He deems it one of the best of the multitudinous remedies. On Monday night, suffering from the annoying trouble, he used his remedy, and took it to bed with him. He forgot to replace the stopper and fell asleep, and in consequence inhaled the fumes until entirely unconscious, remaining in that state for long time and feeling the effects very perceptibly when he recovered sensibility. It also affected his wife, and caused her to oversleep two or three hours, Ali around 1t was e narrow escape from sor- Ious consequences. Bridgeport Farmer.
