Prof. Garmsn Of Amherst College is now
re-consderin0 his hasty declination of the
presidency OF the college. The position was
rendered him only by q committee chosen,
last commencement, to suggest a name. The
action of this committee has no binding force.
and will need to be ratified by the college
authorities Prot Garman is an Amherst
graduate of - a Young man of much promise,
and his candidacy is strongly advocated BY
Prof Egbert c. Smyth of Andover The
management of the college is in the hands OF
board of trustees and a board of overseers.
These two bodies are very large and unwieldy
and meet but once during the year, at COM
mencement time, for the transaction OF busi-
ness. This method has not given entire
satisfaction. and a movement, begun by DIR.
Gerrish of Portland. is on foot. looking
toward reduction in numbers and conse-
quent increase in the number of meetings.
1t Is highly probable that a change will be
effected at this coming commencement
Quite a change has been made on the Delta.
A grand stand, capable of seating 200. has
been erected. The receipts from this source
have. thus far, been considerable. and il is
likely that the base ball expenses will be
largely met in this way.-Wright, the college

John Chase, Esq. of South Windsor has re-
Gently perfected an incubator that is no doubt
destined to take the lead among the many
machines for artificial Matching. Although
the incubator is not of late origin yet up t, q
very recent time people we're not successful
with them and it has been doubted whether
one could be made profitable. But the sue
cess of Mr.. Chase's invention seems to
remove all doubt as TO their practicability.
1t consists of case 5 feet long. feet
wide, and 3 high and may be constructed
OF any wood that may be the most
handy. The above dimensions gives a
capacity for 400 eggs at a time. Six inches
OF sawdust are placed around the sides and
also on the bottom to preserve an equal temper
ature which it is claimed with the above
arrangement will not vary one degree
even with change of 80 degrees in the place
where the incubator is standing. just outside
of the case on opposite sides are two ordinary
Oil lamps with tubes placed over the Chin
neys, in order to convey the heat into the air
chambers within. -Four tubes with perforat-
ed tops allow the fresh air TO come in contact
with the eggs and prevent any undue draft.
On top of the case is the brooder and regis
ter. the latter denoting too great tempera-
ture within, by sort of a whistling
sound. In the brooder is about FIVE inches
Of dirt. also the artificial mother which is
composed of two thicknesses of cloth with
cotton between, just high enough so that the
backs of the chicks will touch it. Here they
can run in where a warmer temperature pre-
placed in nests made of stats and cotton,
capable of holding four dozen each, and put
into drawer which pulls out to admit
OF turning etc, which is done twice a
day, morning and night. The case
is capable of holding nine nests iu all
The whole box is set on springs to pre-
vent any jar. The process of construction is
very simple. ANY one with even a scant
supply OF tools can make one with a few
directions which Mr. Chase will furnish.
We had the privilege of making quite thor.
ough examination of the incubator. and think
that it will be hard to beat. Mr.. Chase in
forms US that he has experimental with
steam and hot water, but finds neither as good
as hot air on account of the difficulty in reg
ulating the temperature. He has had
great success and is of the opinion that in
cubators will in short time be wholly used
for Matching purposes.

It is safe to take Brandreths Pills at any
time. but to get the best results they should
be taken on an empty stomach, going to bed.
II is well on the night you take them to eat
little or no supper. As no two people are
affected precisely the same by a like quanti-
ty of the the same medicine, it is difficult to
determine the dose; and it is something
which must be left to the discretion of the
patients. We will say, though, the average
dose for an adult is from four to ten, accord
ing to effect
For Constipation or Dyspepsia, one or two
taken every night will, in short time, per-
form an absolute cure. 1t is well to take a
purgative at least once or twice a month as a
preventive of disease, and as these Pills are
entirely vegetable. and are made with the
greatest care. we know them to be the safest
and most effective purgative ever introduced
to the public. They have been sold in this
country for over fifty years, and have in that
time attained an unprecedented popularity.

Precisely as the clock was tolling the hour
of o'clock A. NJ, yesterday. an alarm of
fire rang out from the engine house. On in
veshgation it was found that bed had been
set stire iu the boarding house of Mrs. Towle,
at the upper end of Water street, the fire
catching from the pipe of bosrder who had
been taking a quiet smoke previous, to par
easily extinguished by inmates of the
house, little damage being done. The
steamer Atlantic was promptly on
hand, but the Cushnoc, owing to the fact
that the city horses were at work in gravel
pit over by the State House, did not put in
an appearance until ten or fifteen minutes
after the alarm was given. Coming down
Bridge Hill the Cushnoc ran over Milky, "
the engine-house dog. tanning him severely.
The fire wound up with dog fight at the
west end Of the bridge.
We read often in fiction of secret drawers

Dies have been secreted, turning up many

Eleven years ago, Mr.. William Morgridse. a
resident of Manchester, residing about three
miles from Augusta. died at quite an advanced
age. lie was a gentleman of a very consid- =
eraole property and is well remembered here,
frequently visiting the city. The farm where
ne formerly lived, one of the best in Man
chester, is now occupied by his son-in-lsw,
MI John Prescott, and there are several
grandchildren. Recently, while. one Of these
Sn'idrsn, boy. some ten years of age, was
fummsging in the attic, he came across an
Old chest dusty and mouldy with age. As
ooss are wont to do, he made q thorough ex-
summation of the chest and accidentally dis
eV'ered therein a secret drawer. Opening it
ne Was surprised to find a quantity of money
