The first regular train through to the Hudson river on the New York and New England raitroad arrived at Fishkill Landing at 12:30 P. Thursday, on time.

The Denver extension of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy is finished almost to the Colorado line, and steel rails and other supplies are being pushed forward to the tront. As the parties working east from Denver are pushing work vigorously, it is evident that the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy mean to give the snow as little advantage as possible. The Springfield and New London railroad, run ning from Springfield to Connecticut State line, miles, reports to the railroad commissioners that its capital stock is sundries unpaid, $75; protit and loss balances, $237 81; making total liabilities of $198,457.

The Dolbeare Telephone, though enjoined from benetitting the countrymen of its inventor by the extraordinary decision of Judge Lowell in favor of the Bell telephone--which decision, in effec, gives the company owning that patent a monopoly of electricity as a means of reproducing speech in the United States--is going into use in England.

A company has just paid for the right to the Dolbeare patent in Great Britain $250,000. At least one half of this, we are glad to hear, falls to Prof. Dolbeare himself, whose original researches leading up to the discovery of the telephone principle just missed of being rewarded pecumiarily, while others reaped princely tortunes by the aid of his ideas ard experiments. Prof. Dolbeare's improved telephone is said to be a much more practical and perfect instrument than the one to which this country 18 shut up by the decision above referred to.

No muddling or confusion of messages is possible, and one has no more to listen to hear what comes than one has to strain the attention to hear the person with whom one is talking in the same room MINING NOTES.

Shipments to the La Plata smelter have also been resumed. Elias, assayer of the Robinson company, who is now here, says that the grade of the has not depreciated, and that shipments will continue. There 19 a much better feeling here re garding the mine, though as the mine is not open to visitors it 18 impossible to say definitely regarding its condition.

It has been customary in past years for the glee club and Pierian to give only one concert which the students have the privilege of attending. This year the college will have an unusual treat, as the above named clubs intend to give two concerts instead of one, the first to take place Dec. 19, Sander's theatre; the second some time in May, 1882. There will be a "hare and hound" game on Saturday, Dec. 10.

The hares will start at 2:30 from Mathew's hall, followed by the bounds about seven minutes later. Entries to be made at Bartlett's. Students are leaving Memorial in large numbers, some giving as the reason the high price of board, others the poor quality of the food. At a meeting of the foot ball eleven, Mr. E.

T. Cabot, '83, was elected captain for 1882, but, as he has declined the honor conferred upon him, the eleven have voted to give him a week's time to consider the matter, with the hope that he may change his mind. Mr. Cabot is doubtless the best man in the college, for the position as be has played io the University team ever since he entered college. A freshman while practising in the gymnasium Wednesday afternoon, fell from the horizontal bar and received quite severe injuries to his head and This society has recently admitted fifty new corporate members and annual subscribers, and has received a goodly number of new books, making its entire number about 13,000.

At a trifling expense any one can enjoy its privileges at the hall, or can take books to any part of our country. In past years books have been taken to over 300 towns and villages in eight different states. A great present want of the society is a fire proof building, or a portion of one, toward which it has in band nearly $11,000. The society desires to enrol other founders and associate founders, and to invite persons to give names to memorial halls in the proposed building. The twenueth anniversary of the institution occurs next April, and, through its friends, it hopes to haye a better one than ever.

A FICKLE WOMAN, Prince Salm-Salm, who served in our war of the rebellion and was afterward with the Emperor Maximilian in Mexico, was killed in battle in the Franco-Prussian war. His widow mourned for him some years and then married an Englishman named Hennaye, who settled £1,000 per annum on her. The newly married couple moved into a handsome house at Bonn on the Rhine, but soon disagreed, and the princess banished him to Switzerland. Hennave finally went back to England, asking his wife to follow him. She retused, and he discontinued the payment of the allowance settled upon her.

She obtained a limited divorce, relinquishing to her band one-halt the annual income settled upon her, and went to live in a villa on a Swiss lake, but Hennaye still loved his wife, and pursued her. Finally, influenced by the arguments of Count Salm and other friends, she relented, and agreed to live again with her husband if he would buy her an estate in her own name. They found a castle in Steinmark with 300 acres of land which suited their fancy, and the reconciled pair are now living there. The princess has fitty cows for her dairy, and goes hanting and trout fishing with her husband, and says she 19 happier than ever before. IN A HURRY ABOUT HER LETTER.

John Sojourper to Miss Sarah McGee is quite a remarkable affair. Mr. Sojourner is 92 years of age. He served as a soldier in the war with Great Britain in 1812, and now draws a pension from the government. He has been married five times, and all his widowhood put together only amounts to a little over a year.

He has no children living and only five grandchildren. He has been a member of the Baptist church for eighty vears. He is a sprightly and vigorous man yet, and bids fair to live many years more. He is the oldest man living in his parish, and there are but few older than him in the state, and Dr. Stribling can claim the honor of having performed the marriage ceremony for the oldest man that was ever married in the United States.

The bride, we are informed, 18 a lady between 45 and 50 years of age.
