sAv1N ROCKS NEW DISTINCTION.

Illuminating by Electric Incandescent
 Light without the Ala of a Dynamo
 "A sDynamo Made as Far Back as
 1s4O by a New Havener at Sugges-
 tions of Faraday she Great Scientist.
 Savin Rock enjoys @ new distinction through the inventive genius of Mir. Samuel L. Marsden which will attract much atten-
 tion wherever known throughout the coun-
 try. and is awakening great interest at savin
 Rock. Many of the cottagers and others
 now residing at the Rock and a number of
 prominent New Haveners who have driven
 down to the shore have been privileged to see
 it. Savin Rock, as far as is known, is the
 only place in the country where place is lighted by electric incandescent light inde-
 pendent of and without the use of dynamo.
 MT. Marsden, who is the owner of two cot- tages on Beach street and has rented them,
 has erected little cottage adjoining one of
 them for his own accommodation when in
 town in the summer months In this cottage
 he has introduced this interesting method of
 lighting. He has two lights of 12 candle
 power and one of IS candle power. The
 light is turned on similar to those in stores
 and buildings, but there is no dynamo used,
 This is great novelty. The light is steady.
 continuous and brilliant. It greatly interests
 old and young. All the electric lights in
 cities are operated by the use of power fur
 nished from dynamos. MT. Marsden put
 this novel light into his cottage for his own diversion, having for many years taken great interest in electricity and electric me- chanisms, and as far back as the year 1s40 made dynamo in Leeds, England flor testing @ galvanometer. This dynamo he made for MT. W. King Westley of Leeds upon sugges- tions made in person by Faraday, the great English scientist, whose name is so famous the world over. The dynamo thus made was the same in principle as those which drive the electric fluid in the electric supply man. ufactories of the world to day. Through MT. Marsden, therefore, Savin Rock has 8 new distinction of interest in the scientific world and to the world at large. The same gentle- man and MT. John Blake were also the pio~ neer telephone users at Savin Rock, the first telephones at Savin Rock having been or dered by them for their cottages.
 St. John Street MI. E. Church. Rev. W. F. Markwick, the new pastor of the St. John Street M. E. church, preached last Sunday at that place of worship to large audiences. Mir. Markwick is not only an
 able and eloquent speaker, but faithful pastor. whose labors in former churches
 have been sigually blest. In Meriden, where he preached for the past five years, large audiences assembled to hear him, and in the two churches over which he minis- tered large accessions to the membership were made and great good accomplished. Through his instrumentslity a new and
 handsome church was built in Meriden. Doubtless the St. John street church will prosper and increase it's usefulness under his faithful and able ministrations.
 The steamer Messenger OG to Lake ChampIain.
 MT. L. Collins, brother of Smith Collins, former resident of this city, who is now pro- prietor of the Putnam House, Bennington, Vt., has chartered Captain Charles W. Fos- ter's steamer Messenger of this city for the season. She will be run the coming season on Lake Champlain in connection with the Green Mountain View House of Willesboro Point from Burlington to the hotel. This speedy little steamer was built by Thatcher
 of this city and is considered by those who know to be one of the staunchest little craft
 on the Sound. The steamer will be taken up
 the Hudson river to Troy and from thence
 through the Lake Champlain canal to her
 future quarters. Captain Charley Foster
 goes with her to command her for the season.
 It is matter of regret that this little boat
 will not be here this season for her trips back
 and forth to the Thimble Islands
