The uncommonly warm weather, for December, that we are now having and some very similar winters of the last l 5 years hsve suggested the theory that a permanent change has come over the climate of New England. But this idea seems baseless when old residents say that they recall winters of the same mlldness as long as fifty years ago; aud when we are told tbat in 1843 the work of grading the Housatonic railroad was not hindered till into January, that in fact the winter of that year was just like the present. It may also be of in- terest to state that the winter of 1853 was entirely different from the winter of 1S43 The Rev Dr Hiram Eddy says that he lived at East Canaan in 1853 and he distinctly remembers that when he, preached his Thanksgiving sermon the worst snow storm of the season was raging.

Cyrus Fields Son Charged with Grand
 Larceny. s NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Edward M Field, of the firm of Field, Lindley, Wiechers & Co.,, was arrested by Inspector Byrnes' men st the Manchester mansion, a private insane asylum near Tuckahoe, N. Y. He is now locked up in this city,
 The arrest was made on 8 warrant issued by Judge Maritime and the charge is grand larceny in the second degree. The warrant was granted on an affidavit submitted by the district attorney chare !ng Field with grand larceny in the first degree. The de- tectiyes who served the warrant were told to get their man without regard to the pro- tests of the guardian in whose keeping he might be.
 When the detectives reached the sanitari- um and stated their errand, Dr. Granger at first refused to turn Field over to the off cers. He was quietly told that force would be resorted to to secure the prisoner, if other means failed, and thereupon submitted and brought out MT. Field. During the journey from the asylum to police headquarters young Field was quiet and dignitied in his bearing
 He said little, but had nothing either in his manner or conversation to indicate that he was not of sane mind.
