charge of many more. The excite

We had very long message at IL "a,

slightest alarm at what the Great

the resistance of the gutta percha re-
ported last night, that the slight fault

an Inconvenience. The following has
been received from Mr.. Thompson:
MINoN, June 30
| arrived here from Brest with Cap
tain Osborn. At noon, a telegram
from Mr.. Gooch, dated at nine this
morning, awaited him, saying that
they intended to cut aud buoy the ca

no signals have come since then. We
do not know the occasion of the de-

the suspension.
LONDON, June 30.--A dispatch
from Menon, the shore end of the
French cable, states that a message
was received yesterday at o'clock in
the morning from the Great Eastern,
stating, :" We are going to cast cable
and buoy" Since that time signals
have ceased. 1t is believed the fault
has been found, and tie Great East
ern has buoyed cable to return and
repair it. The only Inconvenience
will be in the delay. The signals
were perfect up to the above an
noUncement.
LONDON, July 1.-The Lord Mayor
gave a banquet to Her Majestic
Ministers last night, at the Mansion
House. Mr.. Gladstone spoke, In
which he alluded to the Irish Church
bill, saying that the Government had
bestowed It's best endeayors on the
duct Of the measure, which formed
a vital and essential portion of its
work for the peace of ireland, and
security Of the empire. Still the bill
passed the Commons. There had been
great excitement, TumOrs Of reaction
and threatenings of its speedy doom.
During this excitement he and his
colleagues remained Ia state Of great
tranquility, for they felt that the re-
view Of their work was not matter
to arouse their jealousy, but rather
calculated to create satisfaction
Although great care had been be
slowed on the bill, no doubt it still
had many faults The PRIMER
concluded as follows: We shall
be grateful for every improve
ment, aud all changes shall be
considered, subject NO the
position on which we stand towards
spoken pledges given and to the COM
mission we have received. We ten
dered the terms of the covenant when
in opposition, aud shall not forget
them when in power.

the hills, the valleys, the streams and

tie which here took place, with its
reaching consequences, will still
live in history. Nations have their
birth, youth, maturity, old age and
death; and ours, though we call il

nations must pass away, and all phys

in the benefcence of their institu-

TIE CRors. The Water Valley Eagle

THE oPs.-Ths Water Valley Eagle
of the 18th, which Is always up to the
times, and brimful Of real news, says:
We are pleased to be able to announce
that the farmers in all the region around
Water Valley are putting in full corn
crops. Some of them planted early, and
the corn is already up; but the cold
weather Of the past week-slight frosts
two or three mornings-has done it no
good Most of our farmers are going to
put in pretty full Gotten crops too--that
cant be denied. They had the ground
ready-many of them-at the frat Of the
week, but the cold weather has generally,
as yet, deferred them from planting. We
expect, however, that everybody will put
in the seed next week, beginning on
Monday. Another agreeable agricultural
fact to record is this: We have made in
quiry, and learn that an unusually large
breadth of wheat land was aseded in this
region Last fall, and that TIE growing
crop is in a most forward aud promising
condition. We trust this will be the case
hereafter every year.

An Indiana Tragedy.

From Louisville Courier-J ournal. April 70
A frightful story of bloodshed comes
up the river from Canneltos, Indiana, a
place ahont one hundred miles from this
city. We have only meagre statement
of what are said TO be the facts, and our
information is from persons who came
up BY boat from the scene Of the tragedy.
Ii appears that on Sunday last mer.
chant named Duulevy, who has been a
man Of high standing in the community
in which he lived, got into an alteration
with another citizen of Cannelton, and
words became so hot that both men
finally drew their knives and made a
fierce assault, the one upon the other.
They fought desperately, and in q few
minutes both had fallen, Dunlevy's heart
being cut entirely open, and his antag-
oaist bleeding from fatal wounds. While
the bloody rencontre was in progress, q
crowd gathered around the combatants,
aud a number of the friends OF each in
terfered. They did not improve matters
much, however. for they also drew wea-
pons, and a terrible conflict ensued with
pistols and knives. Before the fight
ended three men fell wounded very Sc
verely, neither of whom will be likely to
recover. The man who fought Dunlevy
fingered until Monday morning, when be
expired.
