 Winsted, Aug. 2S.-A hearing upon the application of William Spittler of New Haven, the president of the Vul- can Manufacturing company for the appointment of a receiver for the com pany came up before Judge A. T. Ror- aback of the superior court in the chambers at the court house Saturday. The company was first organized in Delaware under the name of the Auto Tool Manufacturing company and was afterwards changed to the Vulcan Man ufacturing company. The concern has capital of $600,OoO divided into 24,000 shares of $25 each.

 The bears also will wait, nose down. against the foe by which seals, mar whales and even white whales swim, and when one Of these will rise to breathe, spring upon it like a cat on a sparrow, hugging and tearing it to death in the water and eventually dragging it up on the ice, to be de- youred at leisure. When no better food offers they subsist on some of the in numerable. diving birds that abound in Northern seas. The bear will immerse himself in the water where the birds are swimming, and then, sinking be meath it, will leave only the black nose visible. up to which the unwilling bird sWims only to find itself victim to his maw. ss It is while abroad on the ice that the bears are carried off by adverse winds and swept south to perish of starvation i During last Christmas week the steam-
 ship Hanover, crossing the Grand Banks on the way to Baltimore, sighted an iceberg on which there were moving objects first thought to be human be- .ings, but subsequently, seen to be six polar bears. They had been ferried hundreds of miles from their Artic home and were doomed to perish by
 drowning or hunger. Similar scenes
 are often witnessed by the crews of
 vessels fishing on the Grand Banks.
 Last July two castaway fishermen
 from one of the ships on the Banks pulled toward an iceberg to get some
 fragments to melt into drinking water
 but found it tenanted by a starving
 polar bear, which plunged into the sea and made after them on catching sight 10 fthem. They had to row their boat
 to escape, as these bears can swim as
 well as seals, and 1t was only when he
 saw he could not reach them that he returned to his lonely eyrie, believing

EDINBURGH IN THE 18TH CEN
 FURY.

For nearly half century the cloud
 of poverty and abandonment hung heavily over Edinburgh. There was no
 commerce, and little trade. The nobles and gentry, who had been wont to spend their holidays and guineas in Edinburgh, flourished in London or pin ed at their country seats, according as their politics were whig or tory. The
 university was housed in a group of
 shabby buildings where a handful of
 students gathered to hear a set of use less, needless, headless, and defective
 pseudo-science and medieval metaphy-
 sics. Alone of Scottish institutions there remained unbroken the fierce and intolerant national church, which, no longer finding a counterpoise in the power of parliament, exercised a rigor- ous and unchallenged domination over the minds and manners of men. Its seizers and compurgators arrested the goddess Wretches who appeared upon the streets during sermons on the
 Sabbath. Its obedient magistrates clos ed the doors of Allen Ramsey's little ltheater, and pried into his bookshop in search of .'villainous, profane and ob-
 scene books and plays" Not even the lprivacies of family life were hidden from the ever watchful eye of the kirk session. From the strict inquisition of the kirk non professors fled to the club of refuge, and the very names of some of the more noted clubs in Edinburgh were on1inious of rebellion against the rule of the saints. The Sulphur club,
 the Hell-Fire club, and the Pandemoni- um rang with the lan1poons on the clergy, the loose stories, and the riba1d
 songs that marked the reaction in Scot ttish society against the severity of lchurch discipline. Between the crush ling tyranny of the kirk on the one hand
 and the reckless license of the ungod- fly on the other, Edinburgh in the first
 half of the eighteenth century must
 have been as unpleasant place of res Iidence as ever thirty thousand souls
 gathered in.--T. M. Parrot in the Sep tember Booklovers Magazine. -
