Gaming Rnrrrn-

The walls of the old st. Cloud, that in
days of yore enclosed many gay bridal par
ties and talented political caucuses, are
being tumbled down. The old building is
to be erased from ''turret to foundation
stone" and then new and stately stores
are to be erected on the site. The work
goes vigorously on, and soon the corner of
Church and Summer will be one of the
most elegant and attractive localities in the
city.

Breadstuffs i'm England.

The London letter dated March 49, Of
the FI7ancidg Chronicle contains the fol-
lowing in relation to breadstuffs:
The wheat trade has been rather firm
during the present week, and English
qualities of produce have realized an I'M
provement of Is per quarter. Asimilar ad-
vance has been demanded for foreign wheat,
but this has checked business. The sup
plies of homegrown produce now coming
forward are rather limited, owing partly to
the circumstance that the farmers are very
much occupied in spring sowing The
weather has now become very mild, and
great progress has recently been made in
agricultural work Vegetation is not at all
forward, and as there is little expectation
of late frosts, it is anticipated that the
season will be a good one. There is a
proverb that ga dry March never begs its
bread" During the Lass month the fall of
rain has been light, but the severe weather
we have had has caused considerable loss
amongst the market gardeners, whose
young plants have persisted in consequence
of the sharp frosts. The young wheat
plant, however, looks well, and no doubt
the condition of the land has been i'm
proved by the dry and severe weather that
visited us.

C0RONER'S INQUEST
The Murder OF Jack GrIffin-ArrCs
OF a Supposed Guilty Party.

OF a supposed Guilty Party.
A jury of inquest, summoned at the or
der of Coroner Brien yesterday, held an
inquisition in view of the dead body Of Jack
Griffin, who died the day before. The evi-
dence showed that deceased came to his
death from the effects of a pistol shot
wound, inflicted by Hiram Fondam. The
testimony further indicated that Red La
nler aided and abetted in the murderous
assault, and warrants were therefore issued
for the arrest of the supposed guilty par
ties. Lanier was arrested and sent to jail
to await committing trial to-day.
