—Mr. John Connors, one of the con­ductors ou the Auburn branch of the New York Central railroad, resumed his duties Tuesday morning. He has been v e r y ill for severa l weeks p a s t , b u t n o w

—In Pittsburg the other day an ex change states that the children in the Springfield school were ordered to fall in Jine and march out, but did not know at the time there was a fire until they had gotten out of the building. I t seems that in many of our schools the children are so trained, that in case of fite they may safely march out, thus saving a com­motion and perh»ps loss of life. I t ;would be a good idea if the drilling of school children at home were carried into effect, with reference to all contingencies.

—A salt-pipe line is now proposed, io run from the salt region lately discovered in Western New York to some point in the anthracite coal region of Pennsyl­

vania, where use can be? made of coal dust or waste for producing the heat neo-essay to evaporate the lime. I t is ar-

?gued that the expense of pumping the a once an n^Q from the wells, with the interest on

J the cost of the pipe line, will be less than the freight on the coal from the mines

% t o the neighborhood of the wells. Even if the plan of using anthracite waste does not prove altogether successful, it is thought that there will be a saving. I t is not unlikely the pipe line will be built, if the salt developments prove sufficient to warrant it.

—Dr. Bpck was called, for the second time recently, to supply the pulpit of the Methodist church in Perm Yan, where he was pastor some time ago. Las t winter the Methodist, Baptist and Presbyterian churches in Penn Yan held a very suc­cessful union meeting, under the super­vision of Rev. Mr. Davidson, an evangel­ist whose labors have been greatly successful in various places. Since the union meetings last winter these three churches have had a union service about once a month. Las t Siabbath evening the three congregations, or at least a por­tion of them, crowded into the Baptist church, which was filled th roughout About half a dozen ministers, resident and visiting, were present. The service was very impressive and profitable.

—The birthday of Luther was observed at the North church by a sermon in the morning, chiefly historical, and special exercises at the young people's meeting in the evening. Fifteen little girls re­cited each a verse of Luther ' s Christmas h y m n ; another repeated the Cradle hymn. The superintendent gave sketches of Luther ' s life ; texts containing the word faith were repeated! by the audience; remaiks were made by the pastor and others ; t he .church choir sang part of the 'fEin fest Burg ." A portrait of Lu the r hung on the wall, and over it, in large German text, were the words, " The just shall live by faith." The room was crowded to its utmost capacity.

< »n- Baptist church for two Sundays past.

The "Dynograph" Car.

On Saturday last at about 12:42 the ' 'Dynograph" train drawn by pony engine No. 522, consisting of two cars, arrived in Geneva. The observatory car was ahead of the engine, in which were seat­ed a number of the railroad official s, and back of the engine was the "Dynograph" car, which attracted BO much attention. A description of this car will be interest­ing, for it is very seldom that such a oar passeB through Geneva. The oar runs very slowly, in order to do ite work well. Inside of the car is an arrangement by which every poor piece of track or even unlevel road could a t once be detected on paper. This arrangement runs b y machinery, and when the car is in motion the machine dots on paper wherever there occurs a poor piece of road^ thus saving the time and trouble of having men from the different sections along the road to go over it and examine i t . I t is really a model improvement, and it is a saving to the company of thousands of dollars every year. This car runs the whole length of the New York Central railroad. One feature of the work of keeping the road level and all bad places made r ight e t c , is that one hundred dollars is offered to the road master who has the best piece of road.

The party included Messrs. * J . M. Toucy, Gen. Supt. of the whole length of the Central road ; Geo. H. Burroughs, Supt of Western division of the road; and A. G. Palmer, Asst. Supt. , Syracuse, and several other officials o, the road, all of whom took dinner at the Tompkins House, which dinner was complimented by the officials, for the manner in which i t was served ande the rapidity with which i t was gotten u p .

At ISO the pony engine and the "dyno­graph" party started off for Syracuse.

W e learn since the above was written that Mr. Bennett, whose division in­cludes the Auburn branch, has the prize for the best roadway.

Almost a Cyclone L a s t Suaday

' Duiragihtervafe foi^ahout a week past Are wind haf swept over and into this end of the Seneca Lake with" a force that almost prevented our people from walk­ing on the streets- -those who braved the elements almost sailing in the air a t times. • At the fire at Orleans, described in the MrsoBMiAHiy,ahousehalf mile away came near being burned.

On Saturday night, while the wind did not blow as hard as on Sunday^ there nevertheless was difficulty with sign boards, several ridieuipus transpositions being made. This is not iaid to the wind altogether. ~ ',

On Sunday night a feaifrul wind-jftorm arose that with several slight cessations continued during the night. A miniture cyclone passed north of Geneva that blew down fences, and in one instance blew an old shed down. I n Geneva (the northern

section) the same wind was felt then —about 10;30 P . M. A gate on Genesee street and several horse blocks were blown around. Later in the night the wind again increased, and loose shingles found themselves unable to rest long in one plaee.

Monday the same wind, or a relative, came tearing into our quiet lake again. This time the wind got under a corner of the tin roof on the Hydrant Hose block, and after dinner i t (the wind) made a sudden attack that, tore the roof com­pletely off the building. The huge tin covering, with the exception df a small portion near the " hose tower," was lift ed up and thrown around like a sheet of brown paper. The large building was completely uncovered. Had a rain storm come up, little would have been left of the ceilings and nice " hard-finished" walls of Maekey's Business College and of Dr. Budd's and the Hose Company's-parlors.

South of Geneva a small cyclone pass­ed over the lake, unroofed a bam and carried the roof into the lake and passed over into Tompkins county. Near Itha­ca barns and houses were unroofed, hen? and sheep were blown into the air, cattle were killed. In an orchard, every tree was uprooted and destroyed, and some of them carried as far as 20 rods ; a piece of woods was entirely destroyed. The win.l carried pieces of fence rails and shingles for miles. I t is stated that there has never been so much destruction in that section before, and the damage by the oyclone is estimated at between five and six thousand dollars in a distance of nearly sixty rods.

D e a t h o f H i r a m D a r r o w .

Hiram Darrow died on Monday morn ing at two o'clock, at his late residence four miles northwest of Geneva. For two or three years he had been in failing health. Dropsy and a complication of disorders afflicted him, find he suffered greatly during nearly all the time. Oc­casionally he rode to Geneva ; but for

s e v e r a l w e e k s o f l a t e h o s a n k g r a d u a l l y

and steadily, until death released him.

Truly, a good man has goDe. Mr, Darrow was, seventy-one years of

age on the 3d day of April last ; and the anniversary of his birth was observed by thirty or forty of his neighbors—who had been in the habit of assembling an-nualy for that purpose. Tho meeting was held in the old family residence—Mr. Darrow being unable _to go to the sugar camp as he usually had done. Though, as a sugar maple celebration, i t was ordi­narily a ]oyous gathering. Many of the friends met Mr. Darrow with the feelint that that anniversary would probably be the last ; and in his greeting's he said as much to them. I t s solemnly was a marked feature ; and it will long be re­membered by the people of his neighbor­hood, for ite associations, and because it has come about as they anticipated.

Mr. Darrow leaves, besides a widow,, a brother (Wash ngton Darrow) and a sis ter (Miss J . M. Darrow) —these two be­ing the only survivors of his family. He was born in a log house which stood on the site of his late residence ; and has been in continuous occupancy of the old homestead for the later years of his life, say about 30 years. Previously he help­ed to build ,the New York Central rail­road from Schenectady to Buffalo ; be­ing in charge of a par t of the working force.

As a citizen, and a man, Mr. Darrow enjoyed And deserved the high respect of all who knew him. He was upright in all things ; positive in his opinions ; and exact iu his adherence to his views. Po­litically he was an'advanced Republican, of Whig antecedents ; and he never either sought or accepted office when tendered to him, and he held no public position other than those required in his neighborhood. .

Mr. Darrow was not a member of any church ; bu t he lived an examplary life ; and toward the last became a humble believer in ^Christianity, dying in ful hope thereof. His funeral will take place this (Wednesday) afternoon at one o'clock, from the late residence. His re­mains will be interred in the neighbor­hood burying ground, on the " Butcher farm," Castle road, where his father, mother and daughter were buried.

D B A B SIB:—Your interesting' papers

are received here and perused with much pleasure; we a r ea s well posted i n local' matters ss if we were at home. W e left Geneva an Oct. 22d, and spent the night Ih Rochester, at. the, Whi.tcomb House. Accommodations good—charges reason­able. We would recommend i t to our friends. Took the morning train to Sal­amanca/ on f i e Erie railroad. I t is a great railroad center, full of carriages a n d p a s s e n g e r s ; t h e n o n t h e P e n n . &

Ohio road to Cmcinnati. Many were the pleasant towns and business looking places we passed. Jamestown is situated on a hill" and in a valley; Carry smelt strong of oil and was covered with smoke. Successively we passed Greenville, Warren, Mansfield and Day­ton ; between the latter place and Cin­cinnati the dwel ing houses are very small, neat and park-like. On the route we saw much land that is good, and inuch that is poor. The pleasant farm houses, well cultivated grounds, were character­istic of industry and economy. In the valley of the Ohio river the com appears very small and almost earless. We spent an evening in St. Louis, a great railroad center, as the immense number of per­sons in and about the depot was conclu­sive proof. Took a night train and were doon at our pleasant home in Springfield.

We have thought much and talked more of t h e fearful a n d d r e a d e d cyc lones

ain the West, and little thought we were coming to Springfield, Mo., to experi­ence one ourselves ; but so it is. Yester­day, & little past two o'clock, a dark, ominous looking cloud rose up in the west, and moved eastwardly over the city. Some distance^away it was met by a storm from the south, when a fleecy cloud like a roll of wool was followed by a cloud black as night. They came rolling and bounding on, occupying a space apparently of some 25 or 30 yards in width and about one mile in length through the town. The destruc­tion included dwellings ; out houses were upturned'and demolished. The broken fragments filled the air, and were driven about as chaff before the wind. Many of the stronger buildings that withstood the blast, lost their ehirnneys, and many the entkv roof. Such destruction cannot be comprehended without being seen. Five persons were killed and many were more or less injured. The storm passed some two blocks south of the business street, taking that part of the town where the people were the least able to bear the loss, The south line of the storm just

Not to be behind th<3 remainder of Western New York, Penn Yan now pro­poses to have an oil well. Speculators have drilled wells in Watkins, in Hone-oye, in Naples, and in many other villages in this neighborhood, with varying suc­cess. In some places the drill has found gas, and in some salt, but it is hoped that oil will be lound in this vicinity.' Last week Mr. Sherman, who has been putting down wells in Ontario county, came to Penn Yan and has leased land here. Commencing with Mr. Randall 's land, in the outlet, he secured most of the territory down toward Dresden. The leases run twenty years, and in consider­ation for them the speculator g ves one-eighth of the oil, brine or gas found.

Three or four years ago an incident occurred that leads to the belief that gas or oil could be found by drilling. On the land belonging to Mr. J . A. Shutts a two inch drill was put down about forty feet, and when withdrawn gas was dis­covered. A reservoir was evidently tap­ped, for the well commenced to blow, and soon opened "a hole at least two feet in diameter. This was lighted and could not be extinguished, till another drill about twelve inches in diameter was sunk a short distance away and drew the gas away. I t is highly probable under the circumstances that gas or brine will be found. Mr. Sherman does not ex­pect to commence operations till next spring. -— Chro niele.
