The thousand: names were secured, and due care being taken to secure only sober, industrious, and prudent subscribers, the money at the end of the year was also on hand. The sum was $78,000, with a little savings interest added. As soon, however, as £25,000 was to theircredit in the bank, they b:gan to ook arpund for a location. They decided, prudently to buy only the best land, as they were buying homes for themselves and their children. Attention was called to the fine location of a new suburban village, sloping back nnd across the New Haven Railroad, which was then just begun. The saciety decided on it, and paid $10,000. down on the con- wact, the rest to be paid in afew wonths. } Long before the year was out, the remain- [ however, is very evident--the United | q.r of the purchase money, $40,000, was States ard not in a condition to go to War | 14id down, and the control of the village | with any power ful nation.

CONDITION OF THE AMERICAN Navy. -- An American paper, in speaking of the lection of maritime curiosities, the ships more resembling those of the midille ages than anything else, and that the entire navy at home and abroad consists of about 50 vessels, 8,000 men,. and 670 guns, and goes on to say, *' Jobn Bull has avoided numerons wars by the judic'oys expendi- tupe of $50,000,000 yearly. and without increase of taxation, has within 'eight years, built up a navy that isa match for . ay two Eurcpean Powers combined.
