The Strike In the Building Trade.


The strike has become general and is
causing much serious inconvenience
and loss to the employers. The master
builders of this city have intimated
their desire to settle the disputes by ar

course may prove acceptable to the
workmen. Meanwhile the other nu-

than Paris has been for fifteen of the eighteen days, that we have been in it. First snow fell to the depth of about 6 inches and made beautiful sleighing, but there were no sleighs to run upon it. We did see half dozen or so, one of which

 was a regular Yankee goose neck cutter, and with good horse and plenty of robes and bells, it was the handsomest turnout on runners in Paris. This was followed

 by dense fogs and occasional rains, and

 for ten days certainly, we have not seen the sun. This however, is said to be the true part of winter for Paris, but London was not so bad for the twelve or fourteen days we were in it. Yet, unpleasant as Paris, it is full of Americans. We meet old, or make new acquaintances among them every day. Americans must leave millions of money in Paris every year, but the time is not distant when the wealthy and health seeking in Europe, will make their pilgrimages to the new world, as we now make ours to the old, to look upon it's curosities, character and civilization. These old cities, in their silent monuments of art of various kinds form indeed, an epitome of the history of the world. With all their monuments, history, civilization, scenery &c., none of them compare for homes and happiness with the land of our love and our birth. H.

MR. EDIToR.-I reading your paper, of the l5 irst, saw that the correspondents of this place have committed q great crime in the minds of some who read the WESTERN NEWS, in writing about school visiting, therefore hope do not intrude, when l send this article to you about the school at Chapinville, which had the honor of Yis- iting on Friday last with friend from this place We started from the station of Ore Hill on the train due there 10 P. M., and in short time as it seemed to us, the train halted, and we were informed that we were

 at the station called Chapinville, and were surprised to find ourselves in the middle of large field about l-4th of mile from the village. After turning around several times we discovered the main road and had q glorious time walking in the mud, as no carriages were there to convey passengers from the depot. After inquiring the way to the school house, we found another quarter of mile to walk. We thought our informant must be mistaken in the house, for neat white building esented itself to our view, which does not at all compare with our building at Ore Hill. Not being used to such school house 1 ask to be excused. The inside of the school house also presented different ap- pearance instead of benches with no backs, here we found neat patent desks and seats, which shows that the parents at Chapinville try to make their children com- fortable, even if it takes few stamps to do it. The school register numbers about 50 scholars, all of whom are pretty we'll advanced. The recitations were good, and we hope the young lady will not blush when say, that her reading interested us very much, and regret that the time would not permit her to finish it. It would be useless for me to attempt to praise the teacher, us her reputation as such was es- tablished in many of our school districts, long before we had the honor of her ac- quaintance. To conclude with, will say that if your readers want an afternoons enjoyment, they will find 1t in visiting the schools in their vicinity. SHEKoMoKo.

The Rinderpcst-Cattle and Horse

 Disease.

 The cattle disease or the horse disease which is the same thing, is so near upon us that any information with regard to the nature of the disease, as a preventative is now become worthy of an equal share of attention with politics. By the microscope the disease is discovered to be caused by an imalcule or mscroscopic insects, the virus ova of which is innoculated in the first in stance, by the bite of flies, and this is the way the disease spreads so rapidly. A weak solution of carbolic acid, or carbolic acid soap suds, as wash, will keep off the flies no matter how greedy they may be for their drop of blood; while at the same time it is the best disinfectant known. When the virus is once innoculated into the bloodno outside washing can do the an- imal afflicted any good, and there is no other alternative but to use those remedies known to be destructive to insects Cfor all insects breathe through the pores of the skin which they use for lungs) which at the same time do not endanger animal life.

 Last Saturday noon, Daniel Geer, a brakeman on the Naugatuck R. R., in at tempting to get on train while it was in motion, by stepping between two fiat cars loaded with coal, just as he had raised him. self from the ground with hand upon each car, lost his hold and fell on the track between the rails, portion of the train passing over him mangling him in a most shocking manner tho wheels going over both his thighs, breaking one leg in three places and the other in two, also breaking an arm three times besides crushing and bruising his body. He was able to speak once just after the train cleared him and then immediately expired. He leaves 8 wife and several children. The cause of his falling was wholly accidental, and no blame can be charged to the railroad com pany or any of the train hands......The sev- eIal new blocks that arc in process of erec- ton in the village are progressing as fast as the weather will allow.

it are held entirely clear of it by huge iron braces and plates. The boiler for SUD- plying the tweir pipes with water weighs about four tons. The buildings about the stack are very large and roomy, and built in the most substantial manner, much at tention being given in their construction to the arrangement for ample room for the workmen. which is certainly very desir- able feature in the construction of fur mace. Some idea of the magnitude of the works will be obtained by those conversant with furnaces and their construction, when we tell them the height of the top or stack 1 house, which is about 70 feet. In the con- struction of this furnace, there seems to have been nothing left undone to make it the best finished as well as the most sub stantial furnace in the country. Near these new works are being built two large store houses for charcoal, which will hold about 45, ,O0O bushels of charcoal leach. These with the three old ones with capacity of ,000 or 90,000 each, are thought sufficient accommodations in that line for the pres ent. As this work appears every way to be 50 well done, it is no more than right that people should know to whom sense of the credit is due. Mir. l. N. Bartram of Shar- on is the man who has superlntended the masonry and Mir. H. c. Stevens has the charge of the wood work. As we are get ting slightly personal in this item, we might as we'll say with the rest, that Mr. John Fry, the veteran founder, appears as much pleased with the new furnace, over which in connection with the others, he is to have charge, as boy with new pair of red-top boots.

VNHE INVENTOR. who has been actively engag- A ed for the past twenty years in introducing to the public his several systems of Warming Build ings with Steam and Hot Water, by methods well known throughout the United States and Canadas, has, at the solicitation of numerous friends, finally produced a more economical Heater, which en- bodies all the excellent qualities of Steam and Hot Water heat, with the simplicity of Hot Air Furnace construction.

 Notwithstanding the large sale and universal approval of Colds Steam and Water Heating Apparatus its responsiveness has impeded it's general introduction and uso. To remedy this de- feet has long been the study of the inventor, who is now satisfied that in this new Heater, he has secured the only plan whereby persons of moder- ate means can enjoy in their homes, the comfort of ample warmth without injury to health and that his new method meets a demand long felt. and must when we'll known, supersede all other Heaters. No one desires, + it be avoid ed, to put into his home heater which will cer- tainly impair the health of those who inhale the air vitiated contact with highly heated surfaces All other Hot Air Furnaces DO heat the air too hot because of the very limited amount of superficial surface exposed to the nre, 90 that much of the surface is often heated to rsdness; the proportion of surface to the aame sIHe of fire in this new | System is TEN TIMES GREATER than the common Hot Air Furnace, and ne part is overheated; in deed it is adjusted on such correct scientific prin ciples, that every part of the surface is equally l warmed.

 In the new Furnace the valuable result is secured of an apparatus with all the merits of Stean Heater, with the simple construction of the Ho Air Furnace avoiding all the dslsterieus effects o that kind of heat.

The public are requested to give their attention to the above circular of S J. GOLD, who has been so long engaged in the business of Heating, and manufacturing apparatus for it.

 The plan upon which this new ap- paratus is made and operated is entirely new and novel.

 It is constructed upon the most sim pie and yet the most effectual principle of Heating yet discovered.

 There are a number of them now in operation in different parts of the coun- try, and the results of the trial have been very gratifying to both the invent or and manufacturer.

 The economy in the use of fuel and its heating capacity is truly wonderful, no such results having ever before been achieved by any previous invention.

 It is only designed in this notice to call the attention of the public or any who may wish to secure what the in- ventor says in his circular above,- s ample warmth without injury te health, ,"-to this new invention whicl probably will come into general use 1T all our. country homes, as well as in th' homes of the wealthy who live iu thu large cities and towns. It is subjec of interest to all who have homes wher' health, comfort and pleasure are sough TAny person who may wish par ticulars about the size, price or descrip tion of the apparatus, or any informa tion whatever, are requested to call an see one in operation, or address
