Sulotda af Bf r. Robart Hattflald Yeatar- dar Msmlna wHila Suffarlnar from AbarratJoss off Mil Ind. The aaBoanraweat of the death of Mr. Robert Hadfield will cause surprise and pain lo very maay friend. Yesterday morning abont lea o'clock at the ideace of hia daughter, Mrs.) S.

D. Cornell, oa Johnson Placcbc committed snkade; by tbooting him- scli throngh the apper part of tbe head. Mr. Hadfield I been for some tim ill, sad thrre caa be no doarbt that the fatal at was coaamitted while saffdring froaa temporary aberratioa of tba and.

Hadfield had visited Police Justice King, with whom he breakfasted, aad while at Mr. Jungs hoase Be accused quite nervous aaa excited. itt. Hadfield was 67 years of age. He was bora ia Eagle ad aad waa the tea of Iba Has.

Robert Hadfield. wbo waa long a aiember of Parliament fro Sbemeld, a very distinguished man, who wat a friend of John Bright and a prominent Liberal. Mr. Hadfield came to tha country eany in life aad waa a resident here for upwards of forty fears. He waa la tha dry goods business for a time, aad also for a season devoted bimaeli to farming ia Wyoming Bat hit tastes were eminently literary, aad considerable portion of hill after life wss de voted to journalism.

Ha wat for a abort; time con nected with the Advrrtiier and then editorially with the Car. Ha wrote with touch iatelligeace of comsaercial affairs and matters pertaining to politi cal economy, ha news being broad and ha information extended. He contributed! to tbe JVte- Yerk WtrU and other prominent papers, and during tba time of service of tbe Hoo.Elijah Ward of New-York ia Congress, ha officiated at bis being the author of many interesting ipeechei and treatises on international affairs. He was also private secretary to the lata Israel T.

A little more than a year ago his father died, when. Mr. Hadfield went to England to be present at tbe settlement of the estatcj. He returned, and in time purchased a considerable property on Grand Island. This it was hit.

Mr. Hadfield wet a writer of broad Ideas and much force, being widely read and the possessor of a great fund of statistical and general information. Very few men could write with equal facility and intelligence on subjects of political economy and free trade.

Prompt in action and quirk of temper, he was nevertheless one of the kindcsl of men, always doing good with warm lympathy for his fellow-men and a great love for little children. There were indeed few men in city equally strong ia I ideas, energetic in action, and honest and generous in pur pose. He took a great interest ia National affairs and also in the welfare of the people, personally ex erting himself years ago to induce the British Gov ernment lo leniency in Us dealing with those who were concerned in the Fenian, movement- But a short time ago he sent a letter to Mr. Gladstone, entreating consideration for Michael Davit, the recently arrested Land Leaguer. Socially, Mr.

Hadfield was one of the most genial and kindly of men. His broad open nature could but attract friends and warm them to him, and hit unexpected death will cause vety wide-spread and deep sorrow. SCIENTIFIC LECTURES. The first in the series of scientific lectures given adner the aupicet of the Young People's Association of tha Wtshington-street Baptist church, wat delivered in that edifice hist evening by Prof. W.

1 Ktcnaras, DCioru gooa-snea nuaicncc, upon the subject of the Wonders of the Atmosphere." This gentleman has had large and long experience in the lecture field of science, and bandied his subjects ia a manner to easy and graceful as to hold tbe close attention of hit listeners In opening the sneaker made allusion to the great; changes; and discoveries that had taken' place, in tbe various branches of science during the past tea 'years, lie then went on to describe the various wonders of tbe atmosphere, with illustrations by actual experiments. Tbe water mallet first occupied attention and amused the audience with its wonderful yet simple changes. He then explained the contraction and expansion of the air by making al; barometer on a large Into a glass of colored liquid he placed a long tube terminating at the top in a large round hollow bail. He then contracted tbe air in- this ball bv coolin? it. Thia was done bV niacins' ether on top wlich 'wts rapidly cooled, thereby driving the eliqaid into the ball by atmospheric pressure.

The air wat then autldenJy expanded, and the liquid driven out by burning ether on the ball. The lecturer took occasion to say that be knew of no better way lo keep the young boys at home evenings instead of their roaming the streets nd frequenting the saloons, than by amusing them with these simple experiments. A balloon ascension wss the net thing in order, and be illustrated manner in which Montgolfier sent ap tbe fiat balloon, which waa by the simple process of expanding the air with heat. Air; he skid, was composed of olxygen, a subtle tod life-giving gas, and nitrogen, a gas perfectly lifeless and in which nothing can exist. Three jars stood on tba table, onje filled with itrogen, another with oxygen; and a third with water and nitrogen.

Into Ibe first he plunged a lighted candle and it was immediately 'extinguished! but on dropping it into the oxygen it Immediately burst into a brilliant flame, thereby shewing this properties of the two gases which compose the air we Tbe candle was then placed in the third jar and of course was extinguished, but' on forcing oxygen into it the two gases combined and formed air in which the candle burned brightly. A volcano from ice was next the subject of much merriment. In a block of ice was cut a small hole. nto this tbe attendant placed a small quantity of potassium which immediately separated the oxygen 'from the hydrogen, of which the ice wat cpmposedl and the hydrogen catching fire, burned brightly, frhile occasional explosions threw up showers ofj sparks. Other experiments followed, among the most pleasing pf which were tbe electric experiments in air and in vacuum," but which a gread deal of detail would be required to explain.

The second lecture will be given this evbnirsg by Richards on the "Fairy Realm of Science, aad will no doubt attract a large audience, be beautifully illustrated. It will THE GRAND ARMY MONUMENT.

On the Buffalo aad Southwestern division the trains were from aa Boor to aa boar aad a half late. The trains oa tbe New-York Central road were from one lo two hours late in getting in.

The same may be said of. tbe Canada Southern trains. The snow atom which visited thia city last evening returned all along this route lo Detroit. Everything was in good shape on tbe Lake Shore road. The only delay with the express train was ia waiting for connections.

No material damage was done and -traffic was not interfered with, 4 The rumor that has been started on tbe street that the Grand Trunk crossing at Sarnia over the StJ Clair River was blocked with ice and that tbe ferries could not navigate the stream is entirely without foundation.

King Comas had a brilliant court-gathering at St. Tames Hall last evening oa the occasion of the autsquerade of the Saeagerband. The jolly god had a asott noble retinae, comprising tbe elite aad tbe commoners, the Croesus aad tbe beggar, aad a Bauserous representation of the nationalities of the earth. It waa a merry crowd -and the hilarious spirit of their patron prevailed throughout ha rule. As a carnival, it was grand(snccesa- As a pleasurable affair, it a entitled rank atnong tbe best events of many irnmi.

"Tbe costumes were rich aad varied. Elegance went) arm-in-arm whh tawdry bucdjwalked tide by side with dark and unattractive colors, aad grace and neatness marched is line with deformity and thifUeatae. It waa iadeed a motley gathering. The Sultan strode about with imperion air with a fair daugh ter of America on his arm; a huge fat hoy, a per. feet mountain of corpulency, in checkered suit.

escorted a young and timid school-girl, with her books aader bar arm; gaily attired soldiers flirted with richly dressed coart ladies; fierce Moors sought to win the affections of coy maidens in white; hand. souse lords trifled with peasant maidens; Uncle Sam (a fine characterization) sauntered leisurely through the crowds, with bead aloft, digning-now and then took with tavor upon tome lair senora: a wise doctor." with plasters and pills in hia case, chatted with a great showing of wisdom with the Daughter of the Regiment, and jolly ccartiers chased pink and black dominoes. The festivities opened about nine o'clock. The interior of tbe ball bad been attired in propel habiliments for the reception of tbe queer con. course.

The floor was covered with white duck and tbe front of tha stage with nurooa-coloted cloth. On the walls were bung various carnival pictures, with ugly masks displayed on the front of the gallery and clownish-figures in various parts of the hall.1 On the Eagfe-atreet side wss a depart. ment for tbe members of the press, while back of it wa a representation of tbe mythical god to whom all they paid tribute, set apart for the spectators oa tbe stage and around the press-stand. and all the available room waa taken by tbe large attendance. 1 The entire floor whs given up to the maskers.1 The orchestra occupied an extension of the stage proper.

Tbe ball opened with two selections, and then followed the grand polonaise, It wat something different from anything that had been previously seen in this city. Tbe orchestra played a popular rgarch, and 34 young ladies and 34 gentlemen filed in. Twelve of the ladies wore dresses of white with variegated trimmings and half-crowns as headdresses; tbe remainder were attired in white, pink and blue, and helmets on their bcE'ls. The gentle- men 'a costumes were of two 1 kinds, both court dresses; "one was of black and red velvet, with flowing sleeves all trimmed with gold, black bunting boots and light felt bats with red plumes; the other was of black velvet, with white silk capes, slashed sleeves, lavender stockings and black turban bats with white plume. The commander, Mr.

Hermann Bernhardt, appeared in an elegant cot lumeof crimson silk, the style being similar to tbe last described dress. Tbe following ladies and gentlemen participated in the march: Mrs. Braun, Mrs. Kkkebutch, Misses Mary Wssmuth, Anna Wasmuth, Anna Kreiss, E. Schenk- elberger.

When the ladies and gentlemen were drawn up in line on opposite tides of the hall, a tall wooden figure representing the Egyptian obelisk was rolled to the centre of the floor, the men drew their swords as in salute, and at a signal the sides fell down, bringing to View Prince Car- nival (Mr. F. Itilger) in brilliant attire. His costume, i very rich, was made of crimson -nd pink silk, blue velvet, and gold lace, with a beautiful cspe trimmed with ermine. In a short speech the Pnnce returned thanks for the reception.

With a wave of his baton, he declared the festivities opened. Then with the court: jester, William Escherich, who was clothed in black silk with gold trimmings, in front, the Prince and Master of Ceremonies headed the procession, and after marching around the ball disappeared in the dress ing-room.

The floor was then for a lime given up to a gymnastic exhibition by members of the Turnverein as clowns and harlequins. During the evening the nrncri frequently delighted those preseut with turuL. and crazy antic. Interspersed with a number' of fancy figures' vere given, speeches were delivered, full of jokes upon prominent local characters, etc There were Tbe Cuckoo Egg," Dr. Eisenbard's Cure," "The Tableau of the Amazons," The Fearful Tragedy," etc.

These were exceedingly laughable, and drew forth rapturous applause from the spectators. The following gentlemen took part in them; Messrs. F. Buckelmuller, Chas. Fischer, Paul Ktahlbrodt, Andrew Lehner, M.

Gabriel, Max Geiger, Alb. Braun, Edw. Adlcr. Fritz Koehler, Fritz Reinecke, Heiorich kebeau, 11. Pfeffer, Richard Beiscber, Willy Behrens, M.

Rose, and H. Rummel. The maskers enjoyed about three hours of dancing, and the couple formed were oftimes ludicrous in the extreme. An ape and a pert I young miss, rooster and a domino, an old clo' man and court lady, an Arab and a negress, an Irisbn.m and a Fairy Queen, a harlequin and a school girl, glided through the waltx with perfect ease and nonchalance greatly to the edification, of the spectators. At twelve the masks were rdered removed.

This developed a most ludicrous scenr. The freedom of the floor was then allowed to all, and the jollity carried on during the early evening was continued to a late hqur.

Alderman Drake moved lo reconsider the resola- tiona adorned at the previous' meeting on the sections pertaining to cements. Ia soppotl of hi notion he said that there was aa impression that the proposed change ia tha brand of cement to be ned would Increase tha cost of the sewer some or $50,000, whereas he thought at 6rst that $11,000 would cover tbe increase.

He said that the so-called Portland cement could ba made from the tame rock at common cement by a little more burning.

It wat more expensive lo the tax-payers, but msdc no better work than tha Portland." After several amendment had been offered, some Of which were accepted by Alderman Lee, bis motion was carried as amended; the sections referring to "cements" and "Portland cement" reading thus: "Two kind of cement will be ased in the work, one lo be freshly burned." etc, and tbe other to weigh leas than 105 lb, per bushel, etc. i Aldtrman Lee moved that the sectioo relating to flushing gates, overflows, be adopted.
