Tbe order of Sons of Temperance includes, it has been estimated, about one-twelfth of the population of Suffolk county, Elkannh Soper, of Northport, and Heniy A. Holmes, of Orient, have been nominated by Gov. Hoffman and confirmed by the Sen ate as Loan Commisilonera in and for Suffolk county. It is stated that Clark W. Byron, of the firm of Samuel Bowles & Co., publishers-of the Springfield (Mass.) Republican, is about to engage in tbe garden seed business at Mat- tituck, Suffolk oounty. The schooner Elisa Pharo, Capt. Sherman, of Newport; R. L, came ashore on the Sound Beach, near Hillers, Place, on Sunday night during the snowstorm. Thevesselwas bound to Elizabethport, light A good deal of feeling is being engendered in Huntington and vicinity against Connecti cut oyaterman for monopolizing the shores of. Long Island in that neighborhood to the ex clusion of native oysterman. The Surrogate of Suffolk county haa lately admitted to probate the wills of John Mott, Samuel Ireland, Fanny Gillet, Barnabas Cor win, Jesse D. Sammis, Samuel Brown, Allen Seaman, and William Painter. August Belmont has several fine twq-year old colts at his Babylon nursery, which he is training for the coming races. Five fine colts have beSh foaled this spring. It is said Ken tucky is to run at the races soon to take place at Boston and Philadelphia. A Citizens’ Protective Tax Association has been organized in Flushing, tbe object of which may effect the town of Flashing, and also the opposition to granting the trustees of the several villages of the town authority to raise more in bonds for improving the streets. The Trustees of Flushing, College Point, and Wbitestone, bad a joint meeting, on Mon day last, in opposition to the bill now before the Legislature amending the New York and Long Island Bridge Company. A Committee was appointed tq wait upon the Governor and protest against the meaiure. Iu the new game law now pending before the Legislature^ the Gxnat South' Bay.and Long Island Sound are exempted from that clause which prohibitsthe use of batteries in thekillingofduckand other wild fowl. It also prorides for the election of a “game con stable” to prosecute infractions of die law. Hr. John R. Held, the newly elected Coun ty Judge, of Buffolk, is stated by the Babylon Signal to have a library worthy of hia repu tation and public position. It says the collec tion “now contains over 10,000 volumes, .and in law and literature is the largest and most complete private collection en Long Island.” Daring the first fifteen days of last month the receipts of the South Side Railroad Com pany, from passenger traffic, wete $12,000, in excess of any similar term in any previous winter months.’ The trade has increased gradually, and this month it ia nearly as great as it was during the first summer months of last year,. Sami. A. Smith, Henxy O. Webb, and Carl S. Barr, were appointed a committee at*a late Railroad Meeting held in Smithtown to con fer with the L. I. Railroad company and offer the Same a atock subscription of five thousand dollars a mile for each mile of road that the company will build between Northport and Fort Jefferson. Three Germans were precipitated ‘ into fhe dock a t Thirty-fourth street ferry, on Hun- ter’s . ’n t side, Thursday evening, and came near being drowned.

Degrauw; - ort Xtrtifi J, DtnjfiA ■ -i A B r id g e t o lf«w York# For the Long Itland Farmer* The point of Westchester most accessible to city travel is Opposite 180th street; and the line of the Harlem River and Spreyten Dnyvel Creek varies between that and 212th street. The distance from 84th street, there fore, to the nearest attainable point of West chester, is five miles; while on the North River side the distance Is\ four miles further. We all know that property in the lower part of Westchester county is selling at al most fabulous rates—utterly disproportioned to thb prices of property in Queens, much nearer the centre of the city. Why is this? It admits of but one explanation. West chester has direct communication with New York, by bridges—making it, in short, part of the same place; while Long Island can only be reached by ferry boats. It is true tbat the time ftom the city to much of Queens county, is less than to Westchester; but the river makeB a bredk. which adds greatly to the imaginary distance; and the change from cars to boat; and boat to cars again, cause it to seem, to those not accustomed to the trip, quite a journey. For many years, as we all know, the sub ject of a bridge from New York to Brooklyn has been discussed, an3 such an undertaking is now probably in practical form; but tbis bridge, though a vast benefit to Brooklyn, will be of no advantage to Queens county, particularly as the business centre of New York is so rapidly moving up town, and this bridge, of course, cannot be approached by steam on the Long Island side. The bridge, to benefit Queens county, must be directly be. tween itself and New York Clty^and at a point to wbicb our rapidly-increasing network of railroads can run directly. Fortunately, nature has so formed the East River that the most feasible situation to span its waters it precisely where we, for our own benefit, would desire it. While the grade of the sur face is sncb, in the lower part of the city, that the approaches to the Brooklyn bridge will have to be at least half a mile long on each side of the river; at Ravenswood there is a point which seems specially designed by nature as the situation for the great work. At this place the banks of the river on both sides consist of solid rock; and between, and cqui-distant from the two sides, lies Black well’s Island—itself a bed of rock At this point it is now proposed to build a bridge, and a bill to facilitate this work is before the Legislature. What a bridge at this point will be worth to Queens, it is impossible to estimate. It is certainly moderate, however, to say that the real estate of the county will be increased, immediately and directly, in permanent value, at least fire million dollars the moment the work is completed. The in direct benefit tb the county, by bringlng’vast population and wealth, causing the rapid erec tion of buildings, and in every way increasing our taxable value, I will not presume to esti mate. It would certainly be difficult to over estimate i t The bill before the Legislature does not impose one cent of taxation on Queens coun ty ; it simply authorizes the county (imd NeW York as well) to take stock in the company, if the Supervisors so desire. What our Su pervisors might think proper to do so in the matter, of course I do not know. But they are a moBt’safe and conservative body of men, and, for one, I do not believe they would spend, a cent of the peoplq’s money unless they saw that the immediate return to the county would M y warrant the outlay. It is further provided in the bQl that any such sub scription ehould be paid—not in cash, but in bonds payable in not less than thirty years; by which time the bridge would have paid the amount to the County ten tlmesjover. Or, it is ibrthef provided, that if the Supervisors perfer, they can, in lien of taking stock, slm- ply aid hy guaranteeing fhe bonds of the com pany to such amount as they think proper. So ths-trhole provision is simply permissive, ahd does not force anything npon ns against ' our own desires. ‘ That such a bill as this should receive the enthusiastic support of every citizen of Queens county ono would suppose a matter of course. And yet; to the astonishment of all thinking men, one of Queens county’s own represents- , tivos, Mr. Pearsall,' ia opposing it most vigor- ously. If itwere opposed by Westchester, or Staten Island, or by a New Jersey lobby, or any rival community, we could see ths cause,, but opposition from the very place ben efited, appears veiy strange, and strongly ang- gcsts soma personal feeling to lie underneath. It la quite poatible that the bill can be im proved by amendment; if ao, every such im provement ehould bo made, and the interests of onr itounty cartiblly guarded; but to op pose it directly ii to oppose tbe pragma ol Queens county, and to stand directly in the of tha grcatct natural boon over predat ed tothapeopleJ Qcxxkb.

T he S torm .—The storm of yesterday was the most violent for the time that it lasted, that we have known in this vicinity for a long: time, and was productive of much damage in the blowing down of fences, uprooting off trees, etc. Tbe high southeasterly wind that prevailed, caused the tide to rise to an unusual height. The meadows between Hunter’s Point and Dutch Hills, were overflowed so: that the tracks of the Long Island and Fluah- Rtilroads were submerged, rendering travel v difficult and dangerous. Shortly after the eight o’clock train from Flushing had crossed the meadows, the track, near the Dutch Hills crossing, for a distance o f fifty feet, gave Way, causing a suspension of travel for several hours, the trainB laying up until 2 o’clock; when the break was temporarily repaired. Trains on the Long Island road were detained OBly a'Ishort timo. The road leading across: tbe meadows to Calvary Cemetery was so completely submerged that nothing bat the toll-house was visible. The tide in Jamaica Ray was the highest known in yeara Sleeting of tbe Board of Education, Dis trict No. 6, Flmhlug.
