The genial weather with which the week COM
menced being followed By the return Of harsh
winds, vegetation has made small progress.
Some Wheat undoubtedly looks we'll after all
its trials. but there are very many pieces with
great DEFICIENCIES in the 1ows, and that require
totll change in the temperature to give pros
pcct Of full average yield. Warm nights and
genial showers are much wanted, and without
them Spring Corn more especially ls likely to
advance; fodder being nearly used up, and
grass yery short. Some reaction has taken
place in Wheat since the rise, but only to q
small extent, about 1s. per qr. on the aver

Foreign arrivals have been only moderate.
Quotations in France hare rather improved, as

In Odessa prices have risen risen fully Is per

the latter to quit the stocks Of Flour on terms
favorable to the people. The activity Of the
markets IN America has rather diminished, and
prices lean somewhat in buyers favor. Still as
ireland is really in need, English stocks are re-

It says:
The past week opened with thorough change
in the state Of the weather, which was really
spring like, with the wind varying from SOUTH
Wsst TO the northwest. On the west coast
some nice showers fell. at Glasgow it was
stated that :" there Was gentle, genial rain for
twelve to fifteen hours, since which there lad
been more than seasonable warmth" On Mon
day the weather was sunny and fine; wind east
10 northeast, and night cold; From Liverpool
m Tuesday it was remarked: "At length We
hare change 10 mild and warmer weather. with
some genial rain the last two days, and already
the effect on vegetation has been highly benef-
cial stil! Tue spring season is unusually back
u strong breeze from the north .east thermon-
e;er 81 degrees. Wednesday was n splendid
day, but with strong easter1y wind, and ther-
mouaeter up 70 a deg; barometer very high.
Tie hue We1ther continued on Thursday but
the wind still remained from the N.N,E" From
Lincolnshire, We were advised that The wind

poorly written, worse spelled and with no
punctuation? We certainly have, and there
for propose remedy.
A big price-say fifty cents to q dollar o
quart-will usually buy good ink, but for
the benefit, convenience and curiosity of such
as would wish to save FIVE hundred per cent.
Of that expense and make chemical expert.
ment, we offer the following receipt which
We have tried and pronounce very good.
Take extract Of logwooc-one half ounce
bi-chromate o; potasn-ten grains, and dis.
solve in quart Of hot rain water. When
cold pour into glass bottle and let it re-
main exposed to the air week or more
The ink is then ready for use. A little gun
arabic added to the above will give it gloss
When first applied its colsr is an intense
steel blue, but becomes quite black. Give il

Mr. Editor, We write this communication
with ink made in like manner-how is it?

A Republican Triumph In Connecticut.

At the election in Connecticut last Monday
the Republicans won the day. Complete re-
turns show majority for Gov. Buckingham
Of about 600, while the Senate stands Is Re-
publics ms, I Democrats and one doubtful,
and the House l42 Republicans to so Dem
ocrats.
Although the Republican majority is small
on the governor vote, it is yet great victo-
ry. The Democracy made the contest a
symbol Of the presidential election, and the
Republicans accepted the issue. All that
government patronage and money could do
has been done to carry this state for the ad-
ministration. The New York and Boston
merchants have even been made to "shell
out" some of them to the tune Of $500 each
to buy votes for Seymour. And in all the
large cities and towns the Democracy have
made large gains by means of this money!
Mayor Wood Of New York made his boast
that Connecticut should 60 with the admin
istration. He went so far a. to declare that
if she went with the Republicans. "the Ma.
tional Democratic banner would trail in the
dust" Where it now "trails" We leave our
readers to judge.
This Connecticut election is of the utmost
importance, and turning as it has, it leaves
the Democracy without SO much as foot
hold in all New England. The skies look
bright for November.

Verm0nters in Chicago.


We see it stated in Chicago papers, that
there has been meeting in that city Of resi-
dents who emigrated from Vermont, to take
measures to welcome in proper manner,
and to afford all suitable facilities to our del

the homesteads here don't need to be in

tics, and that they are all eager to show their
brethren ofthe tather-land that their hearth
fires are bright and their latch strings al
ways out.
