Ho wants first-class accommodations —lac-jr , airy rooms , an abundant table and the constant service of his host , hostess and their servants—and in exchange lor all this is willing to pay possibly JT per week for the adult members of his famil y and half price for the children , when , iu order to pay expanses , bis landlord should receive not less than $9 , and , if he is to be enabled to make any money at all , $10 , for each guest. What wonder , then , that the persons who entertain summer company ou n small scale are yearl y grow- in-' fewer in number ? They cannot make money, and are consequently compelled to retire from business. Of course , the city guests at country board- ing houses are the best judges of how much they can afford to pay forllieir enter- tainment ; but a man who cannot pay more than $6 per week for hi. board should not expect to receive $10 ascommodatioiis . The following adver- tisement , wliicli we find in Tuesday ' s Herald , and which prompted the above remarks , is a fair samp le of tho demands uinile upon are proprietor of a country boarding house : Seven largo bedrooms and board for six adults and tin children and nurse ; house must be large anil accommodations excellent ; not over 50 miles from city and neur depot; must be near large lake , river nr tho ocean; an excellent p lace• wanted, j ' or tcltich rcasOMuhlc prict * trill be Jiaid. J ACOB - W . S MITH , 220 West 29th sJjjJjJNew Vork Oily. Will slay about ei g ht wtfcks. J V II orf icr boarders to lie taken. IrifA committee of tho engineers , firemen ami switchmen in the emp loy ol the Chicago , lliirlington and Quincy Kailroad , wis, recentl y went out on strike , hove issued a circular to the public , in which the causes of the strike are clearl y si* , forth , and thu statements .if the company, ilsat the strike is off , ure positively refuted. The public has been , the circular stales , greatly deceived by the statements ol the compatf* , and the emp loyees desire to inform the people that the strike is still in progress , and that , pending the return of the strikers , the company is obli ged to employ any and every class of men—the great majority of whom Qafj wholl y incompetent. As a consequence the company is losing moi-uy, and will continue to do so until it is willing to acced e Io the demands of tin, inr-ii , who ask for the samo wages puiil b y other roads.—not an unreason- able request—and decent treatment at the hands of those in authority—certainl y a most reasonable demand . The general public , if it can be made to understand ihe case , will , we believe , side with the sliUiers , who arc clearl y in the ri g ht. Usually we ine ofthe op inion Ihat strikes are unnecessary, but this is certainl y on exception to tbe general rule. • r3* \*~Those who vainl y imag ine that llio country papers must give placo to metro - politan journals should read tlie following opinion of C. F. Chase , published in that excellent publication for newspaper men und other literary workers , tho Writer : \ I cannot agree witl-Aie prediction of recent contributors , thill the coming man will not lind the local newspaper neces- sary, and that its departure would not be a bad thing for the world. The city news- paper is great and the country paper small , but the city daily can never absorb the local paper any more llinn the church choir can give way to ihe city operti. It would be bad if it should. Tho local newspaper needs much reform , like its metropolitan superior; but it occup ies a position of defense and protection , as well as local entertainment , that makes it as much of a permanent factor of village life us the pul pit and the sehoolhouse mast always be. ' 1 ¦fy The llrookl yn Times has two libel suits on baud—Mrs. Coles , of Glen Cove , and ber daughter , Mrs . Titus , have cacb siwd that paper to recover $25, 000. Mrs. Titus ' child diaaj under somewhat peculiar circumstances , and th. Times , with accu- racy characteristic of that paper , charged ihe ladies with child murder. Tlie ladies were vindicated hy a Coroner ' s jury and later l*y the -Grand Jury. Tho Times tecum lo have a bad case , an*i before it is ovei »ill probabl y regret having been so free with ils charges. Moderation is a ¦quality tbat is sadl y lacking in a great tnany men —and the Editor of the . Long Island edition ofthe Times is one of that lind. lie should \ p luck a few featben from tbe wings of his imag ination and .Stick them in the tail of his jud gment. \ B&*Thtt Smith heirs , who own half of the l and under the waters of that part of the Great South Bay lying within the limits of Brookhaven to<vn , with a view to forever doing away with the complica- tions arising from tbe joint ownershi p of the property, now offer to dispose of their portion to tho town for $100 , 000. If the Town Trustees decline to oocept this oiler , it is understood that the heirs will begin a partition suit and demand an accounting. As tho town has always col- lected the revenues from the rental of all that part of the bay within the town lim- its , nnd , according to the story of the heirs , has never turned over tl ^ latters ' half , an accounting will result in some ex- tensive fi guring. Thomas S. Strong, who is guardian for the heirs , is determined to close the matter up as rap idly as possible , and ft partition suit teems imminent. The Long Island Bible Society held its semi-annual meeting on tbe 12th inst., in the village of Huntington. We were cordiall y wel comed b y tli o pastors of the churches. Amp le provision was made h y their peop lo lor the entertainment of nil who came . Wo were invited b y the pastor of the First Presb yterian Chortli , ltev. Samuel T . Carter , to visit the public school . Our company wero exceeding ly interested in recitations in the juvenile department on mental arithmetic , history of the Revolutionary war , and hygiene , or the effects of alcohol ontl tobacco on tin; human system. The questions were clearl y put , covering the whole field , and answered b y a class of 40 children with astonishing correctness. Answers to questions made by llie v isitors showed a thorough acquaintance with their subjects. This , with the perfect order and manifest self-control among llin children , fully confirmed the hi g h reputation of the school. As a model school it is worth visiting. Uy the kindness of the pastor we were conducted through the massive old First Presbyterian Church, lt was built about one hundred and fifty years ago , and contains timber enough for five such churches as tliey ure now built. It was considered u model church , and one of the best on the Island. From its tower , out of which the British stole the bell , we looked out upon the Sound and down upon the village nestling among the grand old trees p lanted by former gen- erations. Un the lop of Cemetery Hill we stood upon the mound which marks the tort erected by Col. Thompson , a traitor to his country. On this sacred spot , where tbe people for a hundred years have buried tlieir dead , he erected his fort , and used tho tombstones to con- struct firep laces , ovens and floors for the fort. Tho peop le of lluntinston still cherish the indignity. At 3 P. M. the directors of the Long Island Bible Society met according to appointment in the Second Presby terian Church . After the report ot the general agent arrangements were mad e for canvassing parts of the Isliud. The Treasurer reported a balance (after pay ing to the parent society $500) in the treasury of $027. The popular meeting in the evening was held in the large audience room ol the Second Pres- byterian Church , which was well filed. The address wns by Itev. 1. Simmons , late Presidicg Elder in the New York district The p lace the Bible should occupy was clearly defined aud impressed upon his audience. Th roug hout the address was practical and up lifting. The teachings of John Calvin , John Wesley antl John , the Apostle , were so blended , so broad , and so full of love and grace for fallen man that denominational lines faded away ; lifted iuto a higher p lane of christian thorn-lit and work , the wonl of God stood out in such beauty and sweet- ness it filled tbe thoughts of the hearer rather than the speaker. These Bible meetings bring christians of all chsrehes into closer sympath y in the one great worl* of g iving the word of God to all people without note or comment. Kev . O. D. Crawford , of Patchogue ; Itev . W . J. Peck , of Corona; Rev . E. Gutweiler , of Uicksville ; Bev . Thomas Doug lass , of Sayville; Rev. W . W . Gillies and Rev . Theodore M. Peck , both of Huntington , and Kev . Sidney Smith , of Counecticut , led in tlio various parts of the evening service. After a vote ot thanks to the speaker and the kind people of Hunting- ton, the meeting adjourned with the benediction. —[S. XV . m Riverhead News. I. ON.. ISLAND BIULE stil l IC IV Bmofce --Pride ol the Islan d , \ best fl.e-cent cigar In tbe market. f8*8 Mrs. Lizzie Pfiffer , of Moore street , Brooklyn , while riding on the eleotrlc railway running from the Brookl yn city line to Jamaica , on Friday evening last , sustained a paralytic stroke , which ren- dered her entire left side useless. It is doubttul If she ever regains the use of her left arm and leg. Another lady wbo was in the car at the time sustained a less se- vere shock. Several other passengers oc- cupied seats in the cars , but were unin- jured. Mrs. Pfiffer described the accident to an Eag le reporte r as follows: \ I went out Friday last with my sister and my twn children to see a Mrs. Smith at Union Course. Coming back , about eigh t o ' clock at night , I had a seal in the front corner of the car , on the side where tbe poles are set on which the wire rune to furnish electricity for the cars. Just as we passed tbe second toll gate I heard two loud reports , like a revolver going off , and a bri g ht blue flame abot in at the win- dow. 1 made a grab for my little girl , who was looking out . As 1 did so I felt as if my left hand had been cut with a knife. The skin was burned off the first finger. At this moment all the electric li ghts in tho car went out and everybody rushed to the street as the car stopped. The engineer asked one of tho passengers to push thu connecting wire into lis place on the overhead wire , from which it had ft- .lten.aiid to be careful and not touch the pulley ou which it ran. The man was very nervous , nnd he could not hare put it on ri g ht. We were told by the con- ductor everything was all ri ght and got into the car again . Thero were several passengers beside ns. 1 had bard ly sat down when tliere wus another report aud my lelt knee was drawn up to my chest so that I could not strai g hten it or move my body. It was only for a minute , and I seemed to be hurled out of iny seat. I don ' t remember what fo llowed. My sis- ter says I was thrown ri g ht int j the lap of a man across the car and was uncon- scious. They took me to a house near b y, and when I came to it was 10.30 o ' clock. There wasn ' t a muscle of my bod y that didn ' t move constantly and pain terribl y. I felt as if a flame of tire was coming out of my throat and could not see out of my left eye. My husband came up after me and 1 bad to be carried home. Ilr. Rad - iol! came to me and said my left side was paralyzed. -M y face and arm got their feeling back , but 1 can p inch my leg from the knee down and I do not feel it. The doctor says I will be so for life. I tried to sew and help my husband to-day, but my fingers would not obey nie. \ THE P-KBII.M OF AN BLKCTRIC K1ILIIOID.

Emperor Frederick II., of Germany, died at Potsdam on Friday morning, after a reign of a tride over three months. His oldest son , William II., is now Emperor. The accession of the latter to the throne will , it is feared , plunge nearly every Eurpean nation into war.

Crash upon cra-h of thunder , accompanied b y blinding Hashes of lightning ami hailstones measuring from one-half an inch t,, an inch iu diameter , ami subsequently torrents of water , wiiich ijiislicil from the clouds in rapid succession and transformed innthcr earth into a vast ocean. Tne damage tn buildings and crops was considerable. A boll of li g htning struck the large willow- tree near the tation and felled it to ihe ground . The top brunches landed on tho p iazza of Powers ' Hotel , crushing it under its immense wei ght and blocking all ingress anil egress. It took nil dav Saturday to Hear the wreck. What the result mil -lit have been , had ihe tree been nearer to the house , can onl y be conject- ured. Michae l Dempsey ' s house was struck by a bolt uml a large hole , torn in its roof. A shed at the Kennels , used for storing coal and wood , was ' also struck and burned to the ground. The house ol ' William Post , ol East Williston , was also struck and con- siderably damaged. The wind p luyed sad havoc with out buildings , and over- turned wagons , and br.ike strong trees like p i pe stems. The house of Mr. Mitchel , only lately put put , np was comp letely blown from iis foundation. W' iat ph ysical forces will mark the out- going ol suniuu r anil lull remains to be seen. The members of tne if. L . lhipti. -t Church have j ust concluded arrangements with the famous 'J rn/ bell foundry to furnish them wil11 a UOO-poniul hell , and soon the tolling of a church bell will be heard for the lirst time in Wesbury, calling the faithful to worshi p. The strawberry festival of the Ladies ' Home Mis-ion Society was held in lln zruie near the lecture room ou Thursday afternoon and evening. T|ie a ttendance was , as usual , large and select , and a neat little sum wits realized. The Coroner ' s inquest over the bod y ol Jerry Lnnce , tlm young Italian , who came lo an untimely end !u*i week , was concluded on Saturday.

The impression seems to prevail , prctt\ generally, that we arc to have a hot sum- mer throug hout the country. The Indiana Pharmacist predicts it upon the following theory, wiiich has been advanced b y others : The weather seems to run in cycles of about seven years—that is , when we have a hot sum- mer it is always followed by a cold one , and it lakes about seven years to reach another equall y hot. It isremembered by many that the summer of 1 8G7 was very hot , aod so dry that during August the grass crumbled under tne feet when trod upon. The summer of 1868 was noted for its coolness , tho themometer very sel- dom getting above 85° , and we did not reach the top wave of therraolity again until 1874 , when it was extremel y hot. The following summer was cold to a re- markable degree. From then on the summers grew graduall y warmer until 188 1 , which was excessivel y hot and very dry, no rain fulling for over nine weeks; and there were more sunstrokes that summer than there has been in all the summers since. Tho summer of 1882 was quite cold. A few (lakes of snow fell on tlie morning of July 4 , followed hy hail in the afternoon , and during the rest of Ihe month nnd through August ihe temperature was so low that overcoats were necessary for comfort , particularly at ni ght. The summers since 1682 have grown warmer and warmer , and last summer was a moderately hot one; but , unless all si gns fail , the coining summer will be the climax cf the cycle , nnd u hot , dry season may be expected. So far the si gns Imve been against the theory hero advanced , hut possibl y the coolness of the spring may bo succeeded b y a regular oltl scorching summer with a temperature un- rivalled for hotness .

The lire statistics for 1887 , published in The Chronicle , furnish some curious and interesting reading. According to this showing, the value of the property burned in this country last year was $119 , 209 , - 380 , an increase of $14 , 284 , 630 over 1 880 . About fifty-ei g ht per cent , of loss was made good h y insurance companies. Over $S7 , 000 , 000 was lost on property where tires ori g inated . The rest of the $119 , - 000 , 000 wns lost on property burned by exposure. Incendiarism and defective flues are reported as the chief causes of fires , the foimer leading. About twenty- one per cent, ofthe fires of known o rig in are said to have been incendiary. A brief examination of the principal fi re causes as distributed b y States show that fires from incendiarism and defective flues wero most frequent ia Ohio and Indiana ; from spon- taneous combustion most numerous in Illi- nois , New York , and Massachusetts ; from li g htning most frequent in Pennsylvania , Indiana and New York. The record in- dicates that carelessness in tbe use of matches is most prevalent in Massachu- setts , Illinois , and Pennsylvania , and the servant girl and the kerosene lamp seemed to liave put in tlieir deadly -work taost frequently in New York , Pennsylvania , and California. The Keystone Stale ap- pears to be more afflicted with fires from all causes than any other State , its name appearing as ono of the first ou nearly every list. The njjmbef . of lives lost by fire lust year in this country was greater than ip any other year of which record has been kept. FIHE STATISTICS.
