that Irish mobs are much influenced by the

Seven Or eight cases Of intimidation were in
evidence as traccablc to mobs headed by the
Rev. Peter Conway. Into the particulars of
these cases we have not space to tier to-day.
We may, however, State that it was after

committee properly resolved that undue in

about one.!ortieth of the whole exports of the
country, and G,100000 bushels considerably
more than half went to England alone.
Corn has always been an important article
in this country, both of consumption and ex-
port. The total amount Of this produce ex
ported in 1870 was 578.346 bushels: in II.

While three glunt hell-hounds, grim and gray
Besct with fiery fangs their prey
Nor gave her respite night or day;
But each in turn his victim rent,
Until her feeble strength seem Il spent;
And yet within that mourntul face,
Nc thought the eye could flintly trace
Some old familiar lines of grace.
And Beauty, that had buddcd there,
Before the teeth of d lrk Despair,
Those wan and pa!d checks had rent,
AMI that pale brow with woe was bent
Her frantic cry, her laugh, and moan,
All sccm'd blent with thlt fond tone,
] loved to listen to 50 we'll,
Nj d song and beauty, in G.thm,l
The notes of woe hal ceased to swell,
Disturbing the stiffness of the dell,
And slowly the monrncrs turn away
From that heap Of fresh turnd clay,
Till |, alone, in the vale of gloom,
Stood weeping beside the CAerub tomb.
Unbinding the sigact ring she gave,
| laid ii on her new made grave,
And turning from that mound Of clay,
S.dIy we Mt my lonely way
Again those wales to ramble DER,
Which bloom'd 50 sweet in days eli yore;
Where the bright waved river h)w'd,
And the cloudess sunshine fell,
Among the flowers that sweetly blow'd
In the valley OF Gothm;l--
Where the crystal brooklcts mnrmurcd,
Meath the groves umbragrous shade
Keeping time, in gentle numbers,
With the bird song in the glade.
But the little flowers had vanished
From the dcsolated plain,
And the happy groups were banished,
Never to return again
Now, fruits that round my path before,
50 rich ana lucious, hung,
Like apples on the Dead sea shore,
We're ashes on the tongue.
Bat stretching forth my arm, spoke,
And with the effort | awoke,
And found this aye of joy and woe,
Was but a changing dream;
Fol where, but one short hour ago,
I'd hid me, from the beam,
Beneath the milk white blooming sloe,
Where boughs o'erarched the stream,
All unchanged, the scene vicw'd,
or hill and valley, lea ami wood.
Now all who read this mourntul tale,
No more imagined ills hewail,
But learn lifc's greatest joys and gricfs
Arc only dreams that Fancy wrc athcs.

CLEANSING GRANARIEs- DEFENCE AGA,y.;r
WGEvlL. Before storing away your wheat,
vou should cleanse your granarics In the
first place, the floors. walls and ceiling
should be carefully swept, the dirt, cobwcb!
and insects gathered and burnt-not swept
out of DOORS Then the entire interior Of the
Sranary should be secured with hot ley, mode
strong. and when dry the whole room, from
tloor to ceiling, Should be white. washed. -
Such cleansing would probably destroy the
wceyll that proves SO destructive to stored

The GREATEST BETTING MAN IN ALL ENGLAND.
"A correspondent of the Louisiana Courier thus
describes the greatest betting man in all England,
and his appearance at the recent Derby Races:
Conspicuous among those who were making their
way to and fro through the crowd was Mr. Davis,
the greatest betting in all England, and who
was actively engaged in completing his book for
the coming race. To those who have read or heard
of this individuals sudden rise and extraordinary
fortunes in the racing ring, it may not be uninter-
esting to say that, with the exception of sharp
and well defined profile, and keen, bright eye,
there is nothing about the man to indicate genius;
his gait is Irregular foot being slightly lane
while the left shoulder is so much higher than the
right to give his body almost the appearance of
deformity. He is of obscure origin and when he
began his betting he working at his trade
as a journeymsn carpenter. He has lost and won
hundreds of thousands OF pounds within the past
few years. and his conduct has throughout, been
high-toned and strictly honorable. He is said to
have lost on one occasion 100000, which he
promptly paid thus affording honorable contrast
to the conduct under like circumstances, OF his So
cal betters, according to English ideas-men with
hereditary titles bearing commissions in the
Queens service.
