FROM several sources tie report has
reached the writer of occurrences at the
Electric Light Station that need the at
tentiou of the commissioners, and the
facts be ascertained for themselves. 1t
is reported to us that at, or before SIX
O'Clock on Saturday morning last, when
our informant passed the station, the en-
gines was running at full speed the
boiler had barely ore gauge of water, and
both engineer and fireman were sitting
in their chairs asleep. If this be true
and we have no cause to doubt our intor-
mants veracity-this is criminal care
lessness that might cost the town many
thousands of dollars should all explosion
f How; and also a great Inconvenience.
We are not paying men to sleep at their
posts. but to do work that the town may
have protection aud convenience while
others sleep or need it. 1t is the duty OF
the commission to take cognizance OF this
that the towns interest may be pro-
tected; or, should 1t be persecution; that
their employees reputation and their
own be cleared from all reproach. on
Tuesday morning last between midnight
and 1.3e a. m. the lights were out, aud the
darkness was remarkable because ofdense
storm clouds. Again between 800 a. M.
and daybreak the lights were out for
some time. We had occasion to know
because sickness in the family kept us
up. We supposed that the change and
duplication of the plant would remedy
these annoyances, but they still are com-
mon. Under the management Of Sey-
mour Smith, who was engineer for a long
time. we had excellent lights, and for
nearly a whole year not one interruption
in the. light service. The lights were
kept up to candle power, and there was
little complaint; but since his time the
service has been more or less erratic, and
as the public pays for and expects uni
form service they should be accommo-
dated. Accidents will happen OCCASION
ally to the best regulated machinery, and
those instances any reasonable man over
looks, but almost weekly occurrence, come
from some other source than accident,
and it is the duty of the Commission to
see to il, or there will be howl in March
next that they will not like.

was more than well done-it was hne,

is impossible to give special praise to any
one especially. After the performance,
ice cream aud cake was served to the
audience for the moderate sum Of fif-
teen cents, and from this source the
Workers received a small revenue. The
entertainment was for the beuehL of the

from its being for good cause, the prac-

In her castle at Craig-y-Nos Nine.

cherishes and pets as if it were a child.
One day there went to interview Patti n

Just then there was rustic of skirts

full, birdlike notes rose upon the air, un-
mistakably from PATHS throat.
"She is singing 10 me-" said the de-
lighted listener to himself, 'and she is
too modest to come in and sing directly
before me. She wants me TO hear her
as she sings ut home. Oh, what joy to
have this privilege!'
At this moment the heavy draperies
were pulled aside and the attendant
said:
"You may wait upon Nine. Patti

Men in the ministry are brought into
contact with cranks of all sorts. Their
name is legion, and the subject Of re-
ligion, which appeals strongly to the
imagination and gives full scope to
speculation, has Il special fascination for
them. If preachers would write out
their experiences with this class of per-
sons there would be no scarcity Of spicy
reading. 1t was harmless kind Of
crank that Bishop Thomas Bowman, of
this city, ran against one time at camp
meeting. On that occasion he preached
from the following text: LAS Noses

even SO must the son Of man be lifted
up" The most attentive listener in the
congregation was tall, lank individual,

latter, divining the character of the
man, tried to get away from him, but
failed.
"Well, now, nay brother" said tho
bishop, with just little pique in his
voice, for he was very tired and the
weather was hot, "what is it you wish?
Bishop" he replied, with intense ear
nestness, IL have been IL student of the
Bible all my life, and there is one ques-
ton that has troubled mo for n long
time. Perhaps you can throw some
light on it. 1t is this: What was the

Connections Produced by Electrlei..

COmmOtlOnS PRODUCED by Electricity.
Many effects have been attributed to
electrical commotions, but for some Of
these it would be hazardous to vouch
There are wells and springs which are
thrown into IL state of apparent obulli-
ton on the approach of storm. Fount-
aims are said to pour out eopious streams,
even in times Of drought, when Jupiter
"media nimbo in nocte, corusea full
nina malitur dextra." Subterranean
thunders have occasionally been heard
preparatory to an aerial eruption. The
seq has cast mp volumes of water, as il
volcanoes were exploding below. The
ground has burst open, and foods Of
water have gushed forth from the sides
Of hills or frola fssuros in the rocks.
Taking another class Of effects, cures
have been performed by lightning; souty
men have been enabled to walk freely;
epileptic persons have been healed;
amaurosis has been removed and rhsu-
matism dispelled by fash. But one
dare not look too closely into the snb-
iect Of medical electricity, nor venture
TO recommend any one to tempt light
ming in the hope of experiencing its cur
ative powers, for its action is arbitrary
and oftener than not hurtful. Three
hundred persons were once struck in
Charleston prison and clean robbed of
their muscular strength.
