wife were broken, so that they could be
doubled up and forced into the hole, which was

Mr.. Hackett communicates to the New York

ton to the engagement Of Grisi and Mario in
this country. Madame Grisi, between 9TH Sep.
TENDER and 2lst February last, performed f2
times IN Operas and times IN Concerts. Sig.
nor Mario, in consequence Of occasional illness,
appeared 10 all GO times only. The total re
ceipts from all the performances was Sl94,97O
-, Of which New York paid l27,048, Boston
Sf5,059, Philadelphia Ss,904, Baltimore lone
concertl 1852, and Washington 1926. Mr..
Hackett SAYS:
Signor Mario was prevented by illness from
appearing ten of the nights for which he had
contracted to perform, and consequently was
preceHted from earning at least fire hundred
dollars upon erey such occasional delinquency
Madame Grisi performed the character of
Norma, and also her role in Puritani. each
ssrenteen times; Lucretia Borgi eleven times;
Semiramide and Lafavorta, each eight times
during her sojourn in this country. The two
largest sums received upon any single occasion
except that for the benefit of the suffering moor
Of New York, were at Castle Garden, Septem-
her IL, where Madame Grisi performed Norma
f5r the first time, viz: $4,694 20, and to the
same role in Boston, January 22-$4,225 25.

Mr Arthur Ragin, a respectable citizen o.

ting man named Mower. she states that she
wrote letter to Mowery proposing that he
should persuade Ragin to go out West with
him, and, while there, he was to get rid of him
by shooting or by poison, and suggesting that
oyster soup was a good article in which to put
the poison, and that when the plan had been
fully carried out he was to telegraph her Of Ra.
GINS death, when she would be enabled 10
draw his funeral benefits Thirty dollars) from
the Temple of Honor and forward it to Mowery,
aid then there would be no difficulty in her
joining him and their living together. Mowery,
however, never received the letter, but subse.
quently urged her to elope with him, which she
refused. He then, she says, urged her to poison
her husband, which she finally did by putting
arsenic in his coffee. Mrs. Ragin and Mowery
have both been committed for triis. The par
ties have heretofore been highly respectable,
and strict members of church.

HsS- Mr.. Robert G.. Scott, our Consul at Rio
Janeiro, being on visit to Liverpool, and no.
ticing the great number Of men drawn from
agriculture by the war, gives some suggestions
as to the policy which our farmers should pur-
sue. He says:
"When drained OF her men, when 40 manv
thousands now engaged in peaceful pursuits
are taken away, and the labor of the countrv
thus manifestly lessened, who, pray, are 10
furnish meat and bread for these vast armies.
and the population that yet remains at home
There IS not mouth less TO feed, and MANY
less LETT to produce the necessary food for ali
at home or abroad. Russia will send nothing
from the Baltic, the great wheat growing com.
try on the Danube, and that which is watered
by the many rivers entering the Black Sea is
ravaged by desolating war; and all the people
OF that vast and rich country has for years sent
abroad, and to England especially, will find for
its diminished production consumers az homo.
Already are these considerations pressing on
the English wheat and -four market. and keen
up the prices even after good crop has been
secured in most admirable condition. Wheat
sells now at rather higher prices than it did
one year ago, and our own country can now
but insuficiently supply England or France.
But let our people make less tobacco, and
less cotton the next year and the year after,
tell you, and your millions of wealth will be
drawn hence to us, for these now staple articles,
articles OF corn, wheat, and provisions be sub,
stituted. Clear up our lands, and put the ut
most breadth of them in everything necessary
Tor the food Of man, and everything that Is
produced will find an admirable market the
next year. True, our wheat crop is already in
the ground and its quantity cannot now be in.
creased; but our corn crop may, and that is an
article which will pay much better next year,
than either tobacco or cotton
