There are hundreds of acres of land along tho Main Line of the Long Island Railroad lhat if broken up and manured will produce large crops.

To those owning unimproved land adjoining the railioad :—Why not , kind friends , have this land Improved , i.o yon say it isn 't worth it ? Will you allow me a word ? For very much oi the distance from Farming dale to Riverhead , on iho .Main Line, nud much cas t of Patchogue , on the Montauk Division , the prospect is not only unattractive , b tit really repulsive. .\ stranger riding t hrough and perhaps looking for a location mu tt he very thoroug hl y in want of a Su lfolk County home l o feel inclined to purchase a lter beholding such a vast mass of sand banks , gravel , p ine brush nn tl almost everything repulsive , wi lh nothing to remind hint of the fact ti iat lie is reall y passing though a veritable \ garden of the Lo rd . \ Now you doubtl ess agree wilh me that these things oug ht not be .

This , too , would larg e prevent , tho ton-frequent aad destructive forest fires , nnd p lace upon the market desirable land that hitherto , because of its surroundings , no one would think ol buy ing.

Coffin , tho veteran yachting reporter , shi pmaster nnd author , died suddenly, of heart disease , in the telegrap h ollice at S helter Bland Hei ghts , this county , on Monday afternoon. Cnpt Collin sailed into 1 )coring Harbor on the sloop yacht Fanny on M onday, ihe occa- sion being th o annual cruise of the Atlan- tic Yacht Club. Leaving the yacht , the Captain an tl some friends landed and pro- ceed ed to the telegrap h ollice —it being Captain Coll in ' s desire to telegrap h to the World a report of the cruise from New London to Shelter Island. He reacted the ollice ami handed li te first page . of his matter to the operator , and sat down lo revise the remainder. Thoso standing by saw him a few moments later fall back in h is chair , gasp and his face turn a deathly pallor. No word came from his li ps from that moment. Every attempt was made to ret some si gn of returning consciousness from him , but all in vain . A ph ysician who was summoned called an ti pronounced Captni:. dead. On tl t e way up the beach Captain Collin said j ok- ingly iu reply lo a remark* of his fellow- yachtsmen about the extreme h eat : \ This is pretty toug h on an old fellow. The doctors say one ol the valves of my heart i.s out of order , but pshaw! thnt doesn 't amount to anything. \ Fivo min- utes later he bad written bis last liue and said his last word . His unfinished report to his newspaper lay belore him . The deceased wns a na- tive of Brookl yn , and was Gl years of age.

Seven passengers were killed outri g ht and forty others injured more or Lss seriously.

The Inspector thinks also that the scheme was to blow up the Board of Trade , the County Court House , the City Hall np d other large buildings in the city, but is sa tisfied that it has been ni pped in the bud. Four of tha leaders of the latest conspiracy are now under arrest , and no further troubles are antici pated at present. Large quantities of dynam ite were found iu the resorts of the consp irators—more than enough to have blown the princi pal buildings of the city to atoms.

The depredations of the l ?rva of the Imported elm leaf bee tle have now become so great in the Easten S tates lhat Mr. F.

Tin: beetles seem to prefer the European elms , but as so o n as these aru stripped of their leaves they go dirpotl y to the indigenous elms . All the remedies thus far tried or suggested are unsatisfactory , owing to the difficulty of application.

Whether the facts or the papers sh ould drop oul is quite imma- terial. The Port Jellerson Times , under tlate of .lulv I.l , has an article ent i tled , \ Hawkin s ' Sweetheart , \ which directly charges Sheriff Petty with one of three thing s—or all combined—carelessness , criminality or inefficiency. Tl te truth is that since her la-t visit , when s he gave to Hawkins the saws , etc., with wl iicli he w is to try and make his escape , Mis s Slireek bus n ot been seen here , nor woul tl it be sale for her to come. Ne ither she n or any other person has ever \ spent th e t lay \ with Hawkins. N o one can see him except under sharp watch an tl only a few m oments nt a lime. If the article is edi- tori al , Mr. H uman sliiuild know better than to write it . If it was a matter ol correspondence , Mr. Iloman (knowing Sl ierill Petty as well as he tloes) should know he ller Ihan to publish it.

The fourth meeting of the Editorial As- sociation of Queens and Sull olk Counties was held at Patchogue tm Monday . There was a goo tl attendance of editors , and a p leasant meeting resulted. The sessions were held in the hand- somely-appointed head quarters of the Lincoln Republican Club, on Ocean ave- nue, which were kindly p laced at the dis- posal ot the associa tion. Me. srs. Henry and 1* ' .. C. Livingston , ol thu S IGNAL , and \V. II. S . Smi th , of the Hempstead Inquirer , were elected to mem- bershi p in the association, and JI. I j. Van- dust' -i , of i ho Advance , an tl 0. li. Sli ep - ard , ofthe (genuine) Long Islander , were proposed as members. The election of ollic ers resulted in the previous Hoard being again chosen. The failing eyesi g ht of President Lincoln im- pelled him t o withdraw from that posi- t ion , but the members , acting on the prin- ci p le that \when you have a gootl thing hold on to it , \ refused to entertain Mr. Lincoln ' s proposition , and he yielded gracefull y to the demands of his editorial brethren . Several matters of interest to news- pap.r men were discussed at tome length. It was decided to follow the example of the State Press Association , and hold nn \ outing \ meeting in August. This gath- ering will be at Rockaway Beach , and each member is requested to atten tl in company with his wife , mother , daughter , sister or swcetl t ea t t , whicl i will insure a most pleasant gathering; Messrs.

He is a captain , iu this case , because ho is o\i tier , commander aud crew of a cut-boat—n cr aft used by lisbing nud excursi on parties. Vou will find n crowd of these men and boats at Beach - luven , Atlantic City and in two or three other points , and in the pa st live years uot a sing le life has b eeu lost from tine of litis fle et of bouts. T here are young men as well as old , but you will find tli eni all bronzed and weather- beaten , grim, sil e nt , taciturn. Sj ine faces cau bo read. The so cannot. You will no- tice , if yon l o ok k e enl y, that there is a shade of anxiety over all. It is there bv ri g hts. These nieu stud y the sk y—tl io clouds , ths s et of tho wind , the ri sing up aud the going dowu of the sun. Their dail y lifo i.s a com- bat with treacherous currents , insatiable tides—the fierce de tnou who lurks at tho bottjm of the sea aud reaches up to pull down bis victims. In summer they are captains and masters. Iu wiuter they are banded iuto life-saving crews. It is peril—always p eril. You hear rytb t n iu the lap ! lap I l a p I of tho wav es against ti nt sand y hutch. They hear a u iuuace. To you on the sands a change of winds is noth ing. T.i these men it may mean tho clutch of death. A barr el g o es floating up or dowu the shore , you may wouder wh y it do e s n o t drive iu , but tho thought con ies and go es. To these tueu it si gnifies a u ew channel—a wash iu a uew spot—an other danger lo encounter.

Ico cream knives und a fish knife and fork aro very desirable presents. Silver olivo bowl , with fork , is ft happy thoug ht Set of mother-of-pearl tea knives or oyster forks aro never amiss.

Aro tho public aware that newspapers are lold at a price less than tho cost b y wei g ht Df the paper ou which thoy aro priuted , and the press work ? As a rq le one-half of tho price paid b y tho public goes to the inter- mediary. Thus , if the price of the paper is two cents the newsman r e ceives ono cent thereof. Always a larger edition bus to bo printed than is takeu b y the public , because the publisher wishes no bod y to go m isap- p lied who d esires the paper , and it is im- p ossible to tell at what point the demand may bo larger on any ono day than on other days , and he consequentl y bikes tho risk of printing as many as will certainl y bo culled for , which always proves to bo less than tho number actually called for. This has led to tho rule general among the publication offices of receiving back from tho newsman any unsold cop ies , ond refunding them the one cent per copy ori g in- ally received for them. This very liberal treatment has created n great many abuses. It has led a great many boys and m e n to stand at the cars , ferryboats and other thronged p laces and solicit the g ifts of news- papers from peop le who havo xeod them. There upon these newspapers art sli ghtly moistened and ironed , as the case mny re- quire , and sold back to the newspaper office for the full price ori g inall y paid. Thus the publication office is swindled , and gets noth- ing at all for a very large percentage of its issue , which has been read and then re- turned as if unread. This evil has become so great that the Herald and World have decided not to re- ceive back any papers , and other newspapers restrict the r*turns to 10 per cent of the quantity iold to on; dealer and receive bank no papers except through regular dealers.
