Break I'm the CanaI.--We learn that a bresl
occurred in the feeder-level about four miles abov,
this place, on Sunday last while water was being le
in to fill the canal We have not learned the extent
of the break, but presume it is not a very seriou,
one as the level was not very full at the time
Rafting. 1.-The river has been in fine rafting
condition all the spring aud we have noticed many
RATS going down during the past week The wet
weather has been godsend to lumbermen while il
has been otherwise to the farmer-verjfying the
trite saying that There is no great loss without
some slight gain"

The Weather.--S unshine has once more taken
the place of storm and cloud and ftful weather,
which have prevailed for more than a month past
The beautiful sunshine Of yesterday inspired one
with the hope that "s seed time and harvest would

shadowed the earth" for these many days past
Fair weather we doubt not, will be a welcome visi-
tant to many % care husbanGman'' who has
yet bis and potatoes to plant, and other farm
work to do that he may reap his harvest in cue
season. The prospect is Frightening, and We have
full assurance from Him who controls the destiRy of
nations and the elements as we'll, that |" seed time

In Limbo, ,--The Scranton Register says Wm. l.
Finn, representative from Wyoming County, and
rlfrsman by profession, has been in city for
SIS raj days, seeing the sights, looking at Cncle
Toa's Cabin &nl taking cOpious dTaughts of Seran-

The Revolution, Is the title of a new weekly
not 1rsdkiy-paper, edited and published by Eliza
beth Caly Stanton, Parker Pillsbury and Susan
AthDny. This paper is one Of the spicest we have
met with in long time and, as may be supposed
from th,se having it in charge is devoted &c the es
Enlistment Of woman's rights and the suppression
Of wo.aan's wrongs. PIsbury, who is the only
granny of the concern, is too thoroughly dyel-in-
thsNool negro cqualityite to divest himself Of his
Old party prcjulices and preiilectons but the two
Ia !y eiitors, who only trammelled by their
pt;coats, are ursparing in their criticisms Of
men and matters generally. The Rev Pillsbury il
doubtless in favor of niggers first and women after

can see no good why our good mothers,
intelligent wives fair sisters and much INDUCED
daughters should not be first called upon to help US
Igrrfy our politics and make our laws. If, after
that, require further holp, might conslert the
prprety Of calling on the ladies and gem'men Of
