feet beam, and IL feet depth of hold
The new, fine, and large barge for Cap
tains MORGAN and KAHLER, must be in a
rapid state of progress, as we do not often
see the smiling countenance of the former
gentleman around town. This fact justifes
the impression that Capt. MORGAN is hard
at work on his new vessel.
Capt. ALBRIGHT is engaged in fitting
and rigging out the new barque Alice Rich
ards. She will be ready to sail when the
ice leaves the river
The splendid new steamer, North Vest

THE New GAME LAW.-The following

THE New GAME LAWT.-The following is
the substance of the new game law present
ed to the Legislature by MIR. Barron:
Assembly bill No. los, introduced by
Mr. Barron, permits the killing of wood
cock from July 4th to Dec. lst; grouse,
prairie chicken and mallard duck, from
Aug. 18th to Dec. lst; quail from Sept.
lst to Dec. lst; partridge and ruffed grouse.
from Sept. 1st to Dec lst; and deer from
Aug. lst to Jan. 18th. 1t imposes fine
for taking any of the above gamey except
deer, by any mears whatever, except by
shooting with fire arms, and exposes to
prosecution any persons having, selling or
transporting game within the time when the
killing of the same is prohibited. 1t also
makes it criminal act for any one to break,
destroy or sell the eggs of the 'feathered
tribe" mentioned, punishable by fine of
So for every offense. 1t also provides for
the publication of the law in one paper in
each county during the first week in April
of every year. This bill meets with much
favor and bids fair to become a law.

to make it impossible to see across the

were for an instant rendered plainly visible
In the glare. 1t was followed by heavy
shock of thunder. which seemingly made
the earth rock as in an earthquake. \
similar phenomenon occurred week ago
Saturday night.

ssg The national House of Representa-
tives was engaged on Thursday and Friday
in discussing the bill for the military gov
ernment of the insurrectionary states, re-
ported from the reconstruction committee
on Wednesday. On Friday, the House re-
fused to second the demand for the previ-
Gus question by vote Of 6l 9S. This vote
indicates purpose to protract indefinitely
the work Of reconstruction. We believe
the measure thus defeated was the pet
scheme of THAD. STEVENS.

SAD AFFAIR.-At Detroit, on Thursday
night, a Canadian Frenchman with his wife
and three children were crossing the river
on the ice, when it gave way and all but one
child were drowned The child, little
girl, who escaped, states that as they were
going along, the horse drawing them in a
sleigh, gave signs of alarm, frequently
neighing, boiling, and refusing to proceed,
but was severely whipped by the father
The horse sprang forward, and Immediately
broke the ice, at hundred yards from the
Canadian shore. The current carried the
horse beneath the ice, and with wild, de-
spa'~ g shrek, father, mother, and two of
their children were swallowed up in a wa
terry tomb.

How strange, that men who are so much
exposed to bodily injury do not pay $50 or

they could draw from $40 to $50 a week,
while suffering from such injury. To-day
we should look out for the morrow, for we

Total grain, bushels

AS before limited, it is mainly to Russia
and California that Europe must look for
relief and were the former to withhold sup
plies, general famine would be the result.
Herein may lie the reason for the apparent
apathy of France and England towards the
action of Russia in reference to the Eastern
question, stree they are in no condition to
go to war if that course should be rendered
necessary by the conduct Of the Gar; and
it is among the possibilities that the En-
peror of All the Russias, conscious of his
opportunity, may avail himself of it to
seize the long coveted prize of the key to
the Bosphorus

TAX ON INCOMES. Although the Mil
waukee Sentinel is a radical paper, it talk

waukee Sentinel is radical paper, it talk
cd sense when it contained the following:
'sThe new tax bill which is about to be
reported by the Ways and Means Commit
tee to the House, exempts from TAXATION
all incomes of less than one thousand dol
lars per annum, and makes the tax on all
incomes over that amount Uniform at five
per cent. The first Of these proposed
changes will meet with the approba.ion of
every one. The present exemption fails
signally to meet those cases fer which 1T
was designed, viz: mechanics and persons
who receive salaries just sufficient TO subsist
upon. A man who has to support family
upon thousand dollars year, finds it diff
fcult to save twenty dollars to meet the call
of the tax collector; and upon this class the
present system is grievously bprdensome.
However great may be the necessities of
the government for revenue and the oc-
casion for heavy taxation, the moment 1t
intrenches upon the means of living of any
considerable class of citizens, that moment
it leaves its legitimate province OF taxation
and becomes oppressive.
THE MILWAUKEE AND Lac La BELLE
DISASTER IN CoURT.-We learn from the
Detroit Post that in the United States Dis
trict Court Monday the owners OF the ill-fa-
ted propeller Lac la Belle were granted
leave to file an amended libel against the
steamship Ml,cauhec The libellants claim
$4,000 damages, and base their claim upon
the ground that it was through the careless
ness Of the officers Of the Mtlwaukee that
the accident occurred. Pending this libel,
several intervening libels have been filed
amounting to 20,200. The Mltcaukee
has been bonded for 100000, George
Jerome and G. III. Buhl being the sure
ties. All the leading admiralty lawyers
along the line of the lakes have been en-
gagged on either one side or the other, and
the suit bids fair to be the most important
one, so far as marine matters are concern
ed, that has ever been tried in that section.
MEXICO. -Advices from Mexico state
that the imperialists are on the gain. Mi
ramon took the city of Zacatecas with
1000 prisoners, and Juarez, who was there,
had to leave in hurry, taking the road to
chihuahua. A specie train of $500, 900,
which left Zacatecas before Juarcz, has
probably fallen into the hands of the impe-
rialists. 1t is reported that the liberalists.
$4,000 strong, have been defeated by 5000
imperialists between San Louis and Quere-
tcro.

Famine in Europe.

Tho New \ Ork fOrfd says the mails
from Europe are filled with accounts of
suffering for lack of food, not only in Great
Britain, but on the Continent as well.
Accounts have been previously received of
bread riots in London, Liverpool, and
Madrid, and to-day we print despatch
from Paris announcing the suppression of a
formidable popular outbreak in Marchien-
mes, manufacturing town in the northern
part of France. Yet these do not tell half
the story. Italy shares to such an extent
in this general suffering that the statement
is wrung from Roman Catholic journal,
that her people, from the Alps to the APP
pennies, are hungry and so scarce is food
that in some portions of that country the
people are actually subsisting upon roots,
which the fear of starvation compels them
to dig and eat Throughout the manufac-
turing districts of Great Britain, the dis
tress is appalling. Relief Committees have
been organized in many cities and towns in
the United Kingdom, and SO general is the
dearth of food that the London Times calls
for the appointment of general relief COM
mittee for the whole of England. The
same steamer which brought these tidings
also brought letters from English grain
factors expressing great apprehensions
about the supply of wheat, and orders from
Antwerp for rye at prices which will make
the cost of it delivered there one dollar
bushel in gold, while, heretofore, its aver
age price in that market has been but three
fifths Of that sum. In word, the facts at
hard warrant the statement that Europe,
from the North Sea to the Mediterranean,
is crying for bread
The question at once arises, Whence are
to come the supplies to meet this pressing
demand The wheat crop of Great Brit
ain in 1866, like that in 1865, was short,
and, according to the latest calculation,
ca, COO, 900 bushels will have to be imported
to supply the average consumption until the
harvest of 1867. This would naturally
come from the Continent and the United
States, but from the latter little can be ex-
pccted save from California, and of the
whole Continent none has any surplus but
Russia. The stock of wheat now in store
in the principal markets in this country is,
in round numbers, 100000 bushels,
which is about two-thirds of the quantity
in store at this time last year, and it is not
accommodating 1t is further estimated that
the total supply of wheat at the grain mar
kets of the world taking into account the
reduced quantity remaining from 1865 and
the short crop of 1867 is but two-thirds of
the average supply of previous years. AS
regards other grains, the United States can
furnish for expectation moderate quantity
of corn, rye, and oats, and at moderate
prices; ard as an index of the stock of
grain now n store We append table Of the
stock in this market on Saturday last.

TIE CUNNINs PLuNpERER

There never lived s. highwayman who
openly Wanted his profession on the
crowded streets OF cities and in saloons,
which we're the resort Of respeetabnity.
The Radical party N nearer to open
and avOwed pIunderers than any class of
human beings who ever exisetd in a civ
ilizsd community. Even the Indian
savage, when in the presence of uperi0r
civilization and force sufficient to repress
his harbarous instincts, lays claim to a
certain amount of justice and fair dealing.
The Radicals profess to be the party Of
" great moral idea" and yet the schemes
they devise are intended and calculated to
plumber and lay waste the whole coun-
try, for the benefit Of the few ofice-hOld-
ers Of their party. The white Radicals,
however, begin to discover that their
black allies will betray their purposes by
too much haste. Hence they telegraph
to the blsck-snd-tan Convention st
Montgomery to moderate their action {;
and failing in this, they employ their
sstrsp Pope to advise an adjournment Of
the Convention.
The following statement, in a dispatch
from Richmond to the s.. Louis Demo-
crGt, Radical organ) msnifests the ter
ror with which the Radical managers st
Washington look forward to the Vir-
GINA Convention. They are afraid the
negroes will pIunder in too wholesale 8
manner, and thus prsoipitate their inev-
liable downfall
But few whites were present. The
galleries, sisles and passages were
crowded with cOlOred people, listening
eagerly to the proceedings. The mostof
these are out Of employment, aud aux
ious TO see same eOnfiScstiOn measure in
trOduced. distractions from Washington
counsel moderation, and urges that meas
Ures be taken to keep cclOred members
tCahiE bounds, on all subjects OF an ultra
nature. But little will be done until the
Committee on Rules and Credentials
report.

Grafton, after the monstrous excuses
they have committed themselves, and
and are continually committing, sur

as wise to turn a score or two Of monkeys
into q large china establishment Of one
Of cur Main street dealers, and then beg
them not to break the elegant vases, cut
