The Polish journals state that the corn crops have
totally failed in Gallicia, and that the province is likely to
suffer all the horrors of famine, as Hungary did last year.
AN ECCLESIASTICAL EVENT.—Me Spurgeon has
announced his intention of withdrawing from the Evange-
lical Alliance.
EXTRAORDINARY RUN OF SALMON.—The recent
fresh in the rivers Ayr and noon, after so long a
drought, coupled with the earlier time for the removal of
the stake nets, afforded scenes on Thursday which gladdened
the hearts of all interested in the re-stocking of these, of
late years, almost barren rivers. Salmon were seen disport-
ing themselves at the mouths of the rivers, making clear
leaps out of the water; and in the river Ayr, it was esti-
mated by the miller and his men, and by delighted disciples
of Walton who watched the sight, that at least 500 salmon
leapt the dam-dyke at the Ayr mill on Thursday. Now
that the upper heritors of the Ayr and Doon have got their
rivers re-stocked, a grave responsibility rests with them,
to meet and put on watchers to protect the fish in the spaw:
ing season. If this is not done, they may be sure that, as
in years past, parties who neither know nor care for the
difference between clean and foul fish will spear and use
them—Ayr Advertiser.
A HINT FOR LINCOLN.—The
following were
among the mottoes inscribed on the hauliers at the
peace meeting in Syracuse on the 18th ult. :—" No more
victims for the slaughter pen ; not a mon nor a dollar."
"If Seward touches his bell again the people will stretch
his neck." " Abe Lincoln slaughter s white men under the
pretence of freeing niggers." "The people are ready to
take vengeance on the advocates of civil war." "Lincoln
demands blood 1 Provost Inarshila beware 1" "Let the
tyrant tremble when the people speak." " Usurpation
unrebuked is despotism accepted." " Crush the tyrant
Lincoln before he crush you." "Free ballots or free bul-
lets." " War is dissolution, speedy and final." " This is a
nigger war." "We will not be conscripted in a war for the
emancipation of slavery!' " Humanity commands that
this butchery shall cease." " Lincoln has murdered three
white men to free one negro."
