Mr. Ol-oy, the gentleman who is en- deavoring to secure from the Town Board the franc hise for furnishing the peo- p le of this election district with gas for il- luminating purpose ? , called at the S IOSAL olli ce on Tuesday and showed ns the fran- chise granted him b y the authorities of lslip town. He state* that land has been purchased in llay Shore , upon which the company—known as Ihe Mutual Gas Compan y of Suffolk County—will erect t heir p lant. Mr. 0. also informed ns that the work of lay ing the mains throug h the villages of Sayville , lslip and Bay Shore and theuce w est to tho Babylon town lin e will he commenced within two months , and that before next spiing the work s will be in full operation. We have no disposition to question the truthful- n ess o f Mr. Olney ' s .tn tenients , but the fact is , to many fran chises lor the supp ly- ing of d ifferent Island villages with gas and water have been granted outside par- tics heretofore , a nd n ever act e d upo n , that until the work is actually under way the people are disposed to question the good Inith of app lican ts for permission to fur- ni s h e ith u r gas or water. The llabylon Town Board , at its meet- ing on Saturd a y l a st , again laid Mr. 01- ney ' s app lication for a franchise or. the table , and def erred action thereon until next week. In th e meantime Mr. Olney and his associate* are circulating a peti- ti on asking the Board to grant them a franchise. TF e und er stand th a t many of our cilizens are affixing their si gna tures t o this document , and if the number ex- ceed, those attached to the Electric Light Company ' s counter pelilion it is probable lhat the Hoard will grant the franchise asked for. f 3_fi > *~T- i c Hunting t o n Bulleti n o f t he 0 t h in s t. says : Snow on June 8 is the latest weather freak.

GEy-The public school system of New Tork City is to be investi gated , a nd a numb er of well-known men aro to conduct the investigation. It is quite generally admitted that the system , g ood enough in its ori g in a l purp o s e , has been perverted until now the public schools of the l ar ge vill a ge s , as well a s the cities of the country, ar o really colleges , and a re g iv en over more to the teaching of what is not absolutely necessary than to imparting vitally-important instruction to t he c l a ss o f c hildren t he found e rs o f t h e system had in view. This in radicall y wrong , and the abus e should be done away with. Let tho public schools exist onl y for th e p urp o s e of impar t ing a pr a ctical , business education to the children of tho masses. The offspring of the well-to-d o and wealth y can secure higher education at the academies and coll eges—and their parents can pay for it. Now it is too frequently tho caso tha* . the extra expense of maintaining a hi g h school de partment in a public school , borne by the taxpaying public ,beneff ts only a few persons , who can well afford to send their c hild r en aw a y to s ch o ol .

Colonel McCaull has never before given so meri torious a production , for t o hi s ground work of a good opera , he ha s added a very strong cast, including all the lavorite artists of his organ- iz a ti o n , a large and excell e n t chorus , scenery that is simp l y gorgeous in its be a u t y and cos t um e s of t he riches kind , so that an evening at WallackV , li st ening t o t he mu s ic , laughing a t tbe comedians , and admiring all that is bri ght and pre tty, is a t i me well a nd profitably spent. The S at urday m at inees , commencing a t two and ending at four thirty are patronized lar gel y by out of town residents.

We have seen some very exagger- ated accounts of the accident in the New Y o rk a nd L o ng Island papers , and although wo full y appreciate tho sympathy ex- pre ssed and return thanks , we u re g lad to say that a merciful Providence saved us from harm. Within a very .hort timo after iho accident the li g htning rod \ fiend s \ endeavored to get in some ol Iheir line work. One party wrote to us \Hying Hint the fact of the house being st ruck b y li g htning proved that, it was located on a magnetic belt , and the only w a y t o avo i d su c h vi s it ati ons in fu t ure was to obtai n one ol' their lightning rods as soon as possible.

An incident whereby ban< _ 's a tale, occurred at Floral last Saturday, whicli. had i t not been for immediate assistance , might probabl y have had se,ions results. a\bout 5 P. M. a well-dressed stranger , apparentl y about 40 years uf age , was observed about; 20 p ices from the establishment of John Lewis Childs , leaning against one ot the small trees which line the avenue. As he seemed to be in distress and was sp itting blond , some of the emp lojoe ofthe store started to his assistance , but before ihey could reach him he fell to the ground unconscious with blood gushing from his inoulh. Ilu was carried into the ulliee , where restorative were g iven him , and when fully recovered he gave lhe following interesting account uf him- self: When 17 \ears of age, he was sent by his father , J C. Someiv , uf Soinerspoi ii r , J\ew Jersey (liie well known shipbuilder), In Step h e n Girard ' s College , in P iiil-uiil . phia , from which institution he was ex- pelled for misconduct, alter remaining there three year* . Ue then worked his way lo West India Islands, and engased as purser on bnard tlie '- Virg inins , \ the n ot ed bloc ka de runner , then commanded by Fry , the ex-Cunfederale Genera ] When the \ Vir g inius \ was ceplured , b y some guod luck he escaped . , being one of tho three who , i t will he remembered , eluded the vi g ilance nf the S panish olli - cers. He next continued his wanderings in Mexic o , and finally brought up in Mile * City, Montana , where , as book- keeper , ho entered tlio employ ol \ a Boston syndicate wniking some mines in that vicinity. He had bee n with them sume time , when one day a premature cxp lo. -ion occurred in one of their blasting operations , w hich m a nn e d him i n a terrible manner . For some timo hu laid i n th e hosp it a l , and underwent several oper at ions , and , when finally discharged , he wrote to his folks fnr money lo pay his way home. His sister sent him $350 ; he had scarcely received the money when he had again to enter the hosital , and when he came nnt it was only with $03 of money left. With this he purchased a ticket to New York City. U pon rea ching there , be started to walk to Gard e n Ci t y, wh ere lie believed he had a friend of whom ho could borrow s uffic ie n t money t o c a rry him t o bis destination. Upon arriving tliere , however , ho found that this friend luul rem oved sometime since. Now throug h, l y disheartened , he was retracing his ;teps lo the city, when he had a hemorrhage of the lungs and fell as before stated. Alter satisfy ing all that his statements could be relied upou , the next question was \ What to do with him?\ All were no t long in doubt , however , for whilst the gemle and kindhearted postmistress was preparing some nourishment for the \ inner man , \ Mr. T ilttin , Mr. Child s ' bookkeeper , who is never behind in any gooil deed , started a subscri ption ami ob tained $7.15 . a lter which ho was taken to the depot and sent on his way rejoicing. —[.Jamaica Standard.

Mr. Josep h O. J a ck so n in t he New York Tribune h as this to sny on a top ic which deserves more attention than it has r eceived , a nd makes suggestions whicb seem to us very well taken: In the li g ht of observation and experi- ence had at nearly all the islands and sea- board resorts on our Atlantic coast , ex- tending from Frenchman ' s Bay to the Gul l ' o f Mexico , I hare no hesitation in saying that , for tho s e r e siding not ov e r a hund red and fifty miles from New York— say as far east as Sprin gfield , Mass., as far north as Albany and as far south as Balti- more—the southern shore of Long Island , particularl y th e splendid stretch easterl y Irom the Great South Bay to Montauk 1' u int , where solid , arable land comes quite down to the ocean , i s by far the mos t desirable summer resort and restful re gion available for those wishing sea air. An observing p h y s i cian ha s a nnoun ce d that the two counties in the United States most remarkable for the health and lon- uev ; ty of the residents are Suffolk , Long Island , and Berkshire , M assachusetts. The United Stales Coast Survey is made tbe a uthority for reporting that the drinking water ot * Eastern Long Island is the purest known. Those who have studied the ef- feet* of its proximity to the Gulf Stream aod ot h e r f av or a ble condi t ion s declare that in winter , and even during last March' * blizz ard , the temperature was several degrees warmer than elsewhere in this Stale ; while in summer no stretch on our coast has a cooler or more agreeable temperature , and at no point can salt water bathing be beneficiall y indul ged i n so l ate in the autumn. IiONU ISLAND':* HEALTII-GIVIM- AI K. The Rural New Yorker says : \ At the Iiiverhead (Long Island) farmers ' in- slitute tbis question was found in the question box : ' Why sho u ld we n ot have a br a n c h o f t he New York Exp e r i- ment Station located on Long Island ?' Th e id e a i s r a pidl y gaining ground that local experiment stations scattered about the State would do more good than a sin- gle central station. New York is a big State. It contains as great a diversifica- t ion o f s oils , climat e a nd market demands as severa l European nations. Long Island f a rm e r s woul d st a rve on a sys te m of farming profit able in St. Lawrence Coun- t y. St. Lawrence farmers could never af- ford to pay the money that the Long Is- land farmers are forced to pay for ma- n ures and fertilizers. Nearness to mar- ket and improved transportation facilities de termine the style ol farming most profitable. These things show the diffi- . culty in attempting t. make one station conduct exper iments exactl y sui t able t o all parts of this great State. If we ever do have a dozen experiment farms in this State , a _ we ou ght to have , ooe of them should be place d on Long Island. There is no farming section in tbo State where such a f a rm would be more hi g hly appr e- ciated. \ IaUN(- I SLAND KXPEnilRBNT STATION. GESERA L SOTES. Mis.

A large arch , of purple and white flowers , surmoun te d by a harp, spanned the pul p it. A pleas- ing disp l a y o f bouquets , etc., adorned tlie organ and chancel.

The exercises consisted of recitations by the cliildren , s ing ing hv the school and choir (whicli evidenced llieir skillful training under the organist , Mr* .

The ad d resses on \Education \ by Ever ett Squires , the solo and chorus by five little misses and a recitation by George Philli ps are worth y of special menlion. In the evening the exercises were continued , with sing ing by the choir , addresses by Ihe Superintendent , and Assistant Superintendent (loshna Curwin) aud Wesley Squires , and recita- tions h y Miss Lina fanning and Miss Annie E S quires , who gave promising evidence of elocutionary talent.
