RADISUES.

Most of our garden grounds are too
rich for the radish +; and but few gaIJen,
that do not contain more or less of the
trre aro'm. Hence we arc induced to
make experiments until we have raised
them at least sem-transparent and as
brittle as glass. Our method is, merely
to mix two parts Of sand with one part ol
common garden earth, and add small
quantity Of stable manure. Or earth OF
a cIayey nature is preferable TO the gard
en- earth. Since adopting the ,bove
method we have not failed in a single in
stance ofraising an abundance Of smooth,
clear, and fine favored radishes.

Iriditor Reroh-Some seamen belonging to
the ship Merrman, were tried at Boston last week,
under charge of mutiny on the high seas. The
defence set up for the men, was unseaworthness in
the vessel in consequence of which they had
PEELED the. captain to return to port. A good
deal of evidence adduced in support of this
defence, and much proof was also offered that the
Merriman was seaworthy. Judge Story having
ntlmated an opinion that the evidence was suffci-
ent to render her seaworthiness, and consequently
the guilt of the seamen doubtful, Mr. Dunlap, the
District attorney, entered noile proseqa, and they
were discharged.

Who says the times are bad? A few desperate
unpr;ncipled political hacks who for the last eight
or ten years have been fighting with the fury of mad

and ever has been, to tear down that which they
cannot build UP. After trying the most hazardous
experiments upon the best interests of the country
defeated in every attempt, they say the times are
bad.

Horrid Murders-We learn by accounts from
Norfolk, that shocking murder or murders were
committed on Friday of last week, at a place
called Mount Pleasant, between what is termed
Black Water and the Great Bridge, in Norfolk coun-
y, Va. The report is, that n man named Fentress
and a neighbor of his, had obtained permission of
Mr. Miller. recently removed from thence Norfolk
borough, to turn their stock into the enclosures of
Miller's farm at Mount Pleasant. man named
Sykes, took the liberty, it seems without leave, to
do similar thing; when Fentress and neighbor
went together, took down a fence and drove Sykes
hogs out. Sykes his son and nephew, armed (the
first with gun and the latter with pistols) came up
at the time, when some words passed between Fem
tress and Sykes and the latter deliberately raised his
gun and shot Fentress through the body at the dis
tance OF only few paces the load entering the pit
of his stomach. Fentress fell dead. As his friend
and neighbor turned to flee, Sykes nephew fired at
him and shattered one of his arms. He turned to
beg for his life when Sykes seized the other pistol
from his son, and shot the wounded in the side,
who fell and is supposd have been so badly woun-
ded as not to survive coroner's inquest had been
held, but the result, further particulars of the
derers, had not been heard at Norfolk, when the
steamboat left on Sunday. ....

OPERATIONS OF THE BANK.-Freemen read the
following statements furnished by the Globe, and re-

MIR Clayton's committee in 1892, procured from
the Bank statement of the amounts paid at Phil
adelphio to lawyers for professional services, and
laid the document the table of the House of Rep
resentatives, with their rcport.-7his document dis
appeared from the Clerks table, and has nerer been
found! We kno,o that by this paper it appeared
that Mr.. Webster had received from the principal
Bank alone for professional services, upmards of

NEWPORT, WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 5, 1884.
NEW YORK ELECTION.

The Election in New York will terminate this
day-we expect to be able to give the result in our
next. In general point of view this is the most
important election that is to take place, respects
the next Congress and, also, the man who will sue
ceed the present executive. If New York remains
firm in her State government, and returns maori-
y Democratic members to the next Congress, how
ever small, the hopes of the Bank Tories pros
trated beyond the power of redemption. That the
number of congressional representives from that
state favorable to the administration will be dimin-
ished little we think altogether probable.
