This company lea sed Strong ' s Neck , in- cludin g the e a st b e ach , about six years ago. A temporary building was erected on tbe beach and equi pped with a boiler and en- g ine and con siderable machinery for band- ling sand and grav e l , beside s several other m a chines ' , which did their work behind bar- ricad ed doors. A dock was built on the bay side of the beach and track for smal l cars extended to the Sound shore , but the nature of t he business to be carried ou was kept secret. Then foll owed the erection of a three story building 40x85. The c om- pany experienced a great difficulty in ob- tain i ng fresh water. W ells had been dri ven to considerable depth on the beach , but they proved a failure. Finally, ho w- ever , a well was Bunk on the mainland which furn ished a supp ly, and th e wat e r was conduc ted to the beach throug h p i pes. A few y ears ago auother building, 40x150 , w a s erected and latel y a large bui- ' ding on the Sound shore was added to the plant. The secret part of the business was in the improved method of preparing the sand and up to the time the works shut down str angers were not allowed in the mill The apparent business of the concern has never been sufficient to meet the outlay of cap ital and labor required. The jud gments filed amounted to nearl y $17 , 000. **See those new ov ercoats at B. D. & A . T.

His trial took place on Saturday before Justices Buckin g ham and Peter- man. Their decison was reserved until Monday, when the defendant was found gniity as charged. An appeal from the Justices ' decision was taken , and Jones was required to furnish $200 bail , which he did , for his appearance at the next term of the County Court. The princi pals in the affair are colored.

Central Islip depot , situated forty-two miles from Hunter ' s Point , is t he stopp ing place in order to reach the New York Asy- lum for the Insan e. The village itsel f is a beautiful one , which has been im p r o ved very much during the past ei ght or \ ten years. The im provements are due in a v e ry large measure to t h e li b er a lity an d broad v f ews of such men as James S. Slater G eorge Hilliard , J. Corri g a n , Collinswoo d ' , Thomas J. Car l eton , and others that have made this hamlet so attractive and pictur- esque . These g entlemen have spent thous- a nds of dolla rs and their summer homes are models of comfort and beauty. Through t be uuited efforts of Mr. James S. Slater and T homas J. Carleton , a driveway about fifty feet in width was made connecting the two villlage . viz. : Central Islip and Islip p roper , and beyoud any doubt whatever , it is as fine a driveway for its len gth as is to be fouud in the state. It is on thi3 road , ad joining the staiely residence and well kept grounds of James Slater , that is situ- ated the beautiful property belongin g to t he city of New York. T his property contains one thousand acres of land , and w hen p urchased a b out five years ago was nothing but a vas l stretch of pines and scrub oaks. But time , labor , brains , and wealth h ave transferred this waste id to a magnificent park , and the improvements are constantly going for- war d. Approaching the grounds from the north you pass the guard house , where a sentinel is found ever read y to g ive the visitor any desired information as to the location of auy buildins: or building3 ; directly south- cast is tbe home of the physicians in charge , ; ind to the east of this cot tage is situ a ted t he building** which are the homes of the unfor tunates. T he system adopted in laying out this noble u nd philanthropic work is called the co ttage . Sy stem find ia considered aud rec- ogn ized as the finest in the world for the purpose for which they <vere planned and constructed. The buildings ov cottages are about forly- five in number and are bui't in groups , each group cont aining three pavilions and each od g having its ki leh e o , dining, sitting, •ind sleeping apartments. As we were es- coried throug h the different departments we could not hel p but admire the clei x nli - aess a ad decorum of this noble institution , which has In eu provided by the city of New York for those who are poor mi friendless and wh o need a home and medi- cal trea tment for the delh i oueiiienl of their re asoning faculties. Iu outs sense i t is ;i mammoth hotel and the patients are well served b y tried and faith- ful attendants , who do ail in th eir power o make tl n -m hfippy and contented. We vi sited the different department? , such as ihe bakery , laundry, shoe making, tailor- ing, etc. , and the work in the various in- dustries is done b y l iie patient\ , who num- ber in a 1 : C5. They comprise all nationali- ties , trades aud professions , and every p>i- ;ient admitted is dul y examined as to his skill and cap ability , and the work to which he is be - t adapted is assi g ned him. The laun i iiy is complete and contains every requisite .for the washing and hand- ling of i ts goo - .ls. It U supp lied with two inii'ui uotl) washes of the A. At. DolpU Co. patent , aud a large c entrifugal dryer , rank- ing 1800 revolu tions per minute ; the ma- chinery in this department is propelled by a large and p owerful eng ine , * which is iu i ' he care of a competent , skilled eng ineer , iu an other part of this kvge building is s ituated the shoe making and tailoring de- partment , and . it is here that all tbe clothes and shoes arc made and renovated. The cloth and leather are purchased iu l arge q u antities and manufactured upon the prt-mises by the yuticnts , presided over by mi attendant who is an experienced cutter. There is also connected with the ius i itu- tution a barber shop, in which the patients are shaved with safety razors twice ea ch w eek aud their hair cut ouce a mouth , and ev ery prec a ution is taken against disease of every kind. Cleanliness is their motto , a - .(l the sanitary ' arrang ements . are i t s near p - rfcc i as experience can nuilce them ; pun! ¦• . ¦ • • A running water is to be found in i'v > ry direction aud lhe duii u uge is without r . u ' . f The patients are compelled to work and m»cli credit is due those in charge for the mi i liiry and clock-iike precision iu which . v ry thing moves. The patients rise at 5.30 o ' c Jmjk aud after imiking and a rrang- ing tiieir individual beds they proceed to U ie wa - h-roomfi , where they w ash and comb , ih s:ir hair. At 6 o ' clock they breakfast , at which a bountiful supply of nourishing food and c offee is g iven. At 6:45 'hey pro- ce ed to their respective places and duties , in sec tions or platoons numbering iifleen s ne u , accompanied b y an a ttendant. Th ey remain at w rrk until the riuging of the hel l tu 12 o ' clock , which is the si gnal a u - uouncing that the midday un - al has bee n prepared . Upon their arrival they again iv ash and theu proceed to tin* dining table. The biil of fare ou the day if my visit con- s isted of roast beef , pot atoes , boiled and m ashed , fresh beets and other vegetables , and for dessert apple pudding aad berry . sauce. At one o ' clock they are again marshalled and proceed to their work in platoons as m entioned before. At 5:30 o ' clock the evening bell is lolled , which anuounces ^ o them that their day ' s work is compt u icd , and upou hearing this bell all tools are gathered and stored iu their proper places , « nd the men march to their pavilions; w here the evening meal is prepared and awaiting them. This consists of bread and butler , piuues , che ese- , e tc. Cuke is fur- nished them three times a \wee k , and as we h a ppened to call there on baking duy we kno .v that the cake was good. A fter supper the men are at liberty and ( hey amu se , themselves with strolling around the premises and silting upon the bio i d ver andas , w hich, afford them a vi ew of the magnificent grounds anil stir , lo u ndingd . Al 8:30 o ' clock they retire and e r ery patieut is comp e lled to fold his clothes and p lace thtin in order upon a chair at his bedside. -Neatnes s , as well as cle a nliness , i i followed in eveiy detail. The institution is amply provided with liabcock fire extinguishers aud gren a d e s and every precaution is taken for the com- fort aud safety of the inmates ' T he bath rooms are large and commodi- ous and it is here that the patients btithe themselves twice a week and renew or change their entire underclothing. The institution is presided over by A. E. M a cDonaM , M. Dr , wao is t he generai supermte mlent of all the insane a s ylums of the city of New York , and it is t hroug h iii s supervision and professional skill tiiat t he asylums of New York City have at- tained ihat perfection which is the admira- tion of all who are acquainted with this kiud o f phiia n throphy. H. E. J ivarts , Al. J )., is the ph ysician in charge of the patients at the Central Isli ;; asylum , and it U> to him and his able staff of a ^ sistau ts that th t; patients look for their medical treatment. It has been supposed by some of the res idents in this locality that there are tou- taiued iu this institution many who ate vicious and desperate , but this op inion is erroneous and ' uugrou u u ed. The asy lum does not conta in a single patieut of thu character. Cen tral Islip asylum receives the overflow from Ward ,. Hart and other islands and only those of mild type are NATURE'S DYE WORKS MARSHMALLOW ROASTS selected and ' sent to Long Island by Dr. MacDonald The inmates sheltered and so kin dly cared for are looked upon wit h little hope as to their recovery ; they are know n as chronics , yet t here are many here who are not con- s idered incurable aud some have been di s - charged , a fter the mist has been removed that clo u ded their mental faculties.

October has also given us many deli g htful days. And yet there are s ome who are never quite satisfied. The fact is , our ideas of the weather are so ex- alted that we fail to be satisfied with any- thing short of perfection. In the mean \ time prepare for w inter and \heavy weath- er , \ and in your selecti on of those things which are intended to mak e cheerful the l ireside during the long winter evenings to come , do not forget to include the Echo. It wiil be published after election—abso- lutel y refusing to elide into the si l ent tomb , even at the earnest wish of an indi- vidual or two interested in things mortu- ary. No \heart failure \ in ours , gentl e reader ; the Echo, is not built tha t was- . Therefore , look not for the elevation of our j ournalistic toes after the booming of cannon has g iven warning that some one —Harrison , f or instance—has been elected Pr esident. As we said before , i nclude the Eclirt in your selection of cheerful things for the winter.

A Crystal Stream Blnndines Hair and Kougos Cheeks. Had Ponce De Leon , in his search for the \fountain of youth , \ wended his way to Little Sandy, Elliott county, at a point about nine miles from here , , and p lunged beneath the placid waters oi Red spring, he mi g ht not have had h ia days prolonged until now , but most certain it is his color would have bee a changed to a bri ght crimson. On the Frese llardin farm tbe Red spring 1 is located , and for years has been used by the old ladies in that vicinity to color their carpet rugs , by the young ladies t o color their d ress goods an d ribbon s and to blondine their hair. The water of thi s spring looks as clear as crystal and is remarkabl y cold a t this season of the year , much more so than the water of wells In that vicinity. This water is much used at the ap- proach of Easter Sunday to color eggs , and a strange thing about it is the dif- ference in color upon articles of differ- en t quality or substance. The hair it blondines , colors e g gs , ribbons and dress goods a crimson red , the flesh oj persons a li ght blood red. The color la perman ent in both cotton and silk goods d y ed b y the water. The blondlning o f the hair generall y las t s ab o u t t hree weeks, while a person who bathes in its waters is given a coat that lasts aboul six weeks. Soap app lied t o a ny ar t icle d yed by the water but strengthens the intensity of the color. People for miles around come and carr y t he w a t er a w a y i n \bot- tles , jugs and barrels , to use in dy ing various articles. . A famil y b y the name of Brand , whose numbers are quite large , and whose color has always been a phenomenon , is now explained , it is b e l i eved , b y their having 1 always used the water for drinking and bafchin g pur - poses. So long have they used it , sa y s a dispatch from Greenup, K y., to the Cincinnati Commercial Galette , that its quali ties seem to have permeated their systems , and its effects are seen in their progeny to the fourth genera- tion. They have known of this spring fo r y ears , and for a long time kept its qualities a secre t , but it was divul ged recentl y by a young man wlio bad mar- ried i n to the famil y. TIio La tost Diversion to Amuse tho En. nuied Summer Girl . Marshmallow roasts are announced as the latest thiujr in the way of sum- mer resort diversions , says t he Bu ffalo Commercial. The simplicity of this form of- amusement is particularl y charming 1 . One buys two or three p ounds of marsh m a l low s , invi t es half a dozen friends , a nd that is all the prep- ara tion required. However , a s mall amount of kindling wood must be taken along with which to build a small fire in an unfrequented spot on the beach , away from crowds unfamiliar with so refined a species of entertainment. When the fire is blazing merril y, or , better still , when i t has died do wn to red embers , each member of the party t ake s a sharpene d s t i c k a n d affi x es u p on the end of it a marshmallow. Simultan- eously all those engaged hold their marshmallows over the embers , as close as possible to avoid burning, and roast t he m car e full y, turning 1 the sticks a round de xt erousl y, so as to brown the marshmallows nicel y on all sides. This requires some skill , because marshmal- lows are highl y i nflammable and w ill take fire if not very prudentl y ha ndled. The most interesting 1 poin t about the p roces s i s t ha t t he m a r shmallows i n slowl y roasting swell up to considera- bl y more than their normal size. When done they are morsel s for the gods , re- sembling in flavor the most excellent meringue , with a delicious nutty and crusty outside. They are a sort of sub- limated combination of cand y and cake , all in one bite , t hough t he proper . i a g h- ibn is to nibble the roasted marshmal- low off the end of the stick. One set consumed , each person pokes the pobit of his wooden skewer t hrou g h a n o t her marshmallow , and the performance is repeated until every bod y ' s appetite is satisfied. Marshmallo w roasts are an excellent medium for flirtation , mutual regard between a young 1 lad y a nd a young gentleman bein g 'appropriate l y exhibited by nibbling the mavshmal- lows of t each other ' s sticks. Accord- ingly the idea is sure to grow in favor. Wate r at the Fair. A false statement is going the rounds of the press to the effect ^ that visitors will not be able to get any drinking water at the world' s fair without pay- ing for it. .
