Ministerial crisis was feared, in conse-
quence of the Russian invasion of the
Principalities. A pacific solution was
generally expected, but there was no
cessation CT ornaments. The Command
ants OF the Darndanelles had been ordered
to permit the passage of the allied fleets,
whether by day or night, and at any
moment. A formidable conspiracy against
the life of the Sultan, got up by the
lmaums, or ianatical party, had been
discovered, and fifteen of the leaders had
been arrested and bowstringed. They
proposed to depose the Sultan in favor of
his brother, and to declare war against
Russia. The greatest discomfort prevail
ed among the Redifs or reserve corps, who
were thirsting for crusade against
the Greeks. The Turkish authorities
were exertirg themselves to prevent dis
turbances in Constantinople, which would
serve the designs of Russia.

requisite effects of light and shade.
1.-THE peach crop throughout the
country is a small one this year. The
hard winter Of 1872 came near killing
off all the peach trees. Few have recoy-
cred from the effects Of those unusual
trosts, which even extended into the mild
climate of Florida. Those trees that
have been carefully nursed, are producing
fruit, but after all, they are rather sickly.>
The fruit ripens prematureiy, is small,
and of unpleasant flavor. We do not
believe it is healthful, like the fully de-
veloped fruit of vigorous tree. Peach
trees grow rapidly, however, and unless
the coming winter should be unusually
severe, we shall have some fruit from the
the young trees next season.

RAILWAY FENCEs.-The Cincinnati and
Dayton Railroad is partly fenced on both
sides, at cost to the company of $40
600. The farmers are in the practice of
taking the fences down for convenience in
driving their cattle across, and of leaving
them down. The recent accident on that
road arose from this cause. The compa-
ny, after having done all in their power
TO prevent accidents, are determined to
punish those who, through malice, per-
yerseneSS, or carelessneSs, have been the
cause Of accidents, by making them bear
the loss which the company has sustained
by injury to cars.
