GREAT BRITAIN.
Her Loss of Prestige.

LONDON, March EN- the House of
Lords this evening Marquis Salisbury
attacked the foreign policy of the Gov
eminent, showing that the foreign powers
are all contemptuous in their manner to-
wards England. Prussia had declined
England's aid in negotiating peace with
France, and Russia had repudiated obi
cations solemnly agreed to at the end OF
the Crimean war. These insults he placed
in contrast with the guarantees which
England was party to and therefrom he
deduced the decay of her international in
fiuence. Heurged the reorganization OF the
army, to the weakness of which he at
tributed much of England's loss OF pres
tige.
Earl Granville protested against the
unreasonableness of the assault made
upon the Governments conduct OF for
eign affairs. He quoted distinguished
American officer SheridanG who had ex-
pressed his surprise at the complete state
of preparation for war in which he found
the British navy.
The discussion ended by the adoption
of an order for reprinting the text OF the
guarantees given by England in CONT
mental matters.
In the House of Commons today,
Disraeh gave notice that he should, at
future day, ask the Government inform
the House whether or not it was aware OF
last years treaty between Russia and
Prussia, when Odo Russell was sent to
Versailles to consult the German Chan
cellOr.
Lord Gladstone communicated to the
House information received from West
meath County, Ireland, confirming pre-
'vious reports of the mischieVous tenden-
,cy of affairs there. He said special
measures of precsution are needed, for
the lives of judges in that county were
threatened, and he urged the members to
take special action.
/ The bill for army reorganization was
taken up, and keen encounter occurred
over the clause abolishing the purchase OF
commissions, the supporters of the system
predicting a loss of military character
J and prestige, should it be done away
with.

Lebanon Yesterday.

A very large number of the farmers
and other citizens of Wilson county were
in Lebanon yesterday with view of tax
ing steps to organize the farmers club
and to hear Col. ]. B. Killebrew on the
subject of agriculture. The County and
Criminal Courts we're both in session, aud
there was great anxiety manifested to
hear him. Just after noon the courts adj
iourned to afford an opportunity of hold
ing the farmers meeting. Our Senior be-
ing present stated that Col. Killebrew was
cutie sick and detained at his home In
Montgomery, and had telegrsphed him to
make his excuse to the farmers of Old
Wilson, regretting very much his ina
bility to fill his appointment, but that he
hoped to be with them before a great
while. At the solicitation of his friends
our President made few suggestions on
farming, some appropriate remarks on
the school question, and concluded by
referring to the importance and adyan-
tages of forming county snd district
Farmers Clubs, urging their formation
without delsy.
A meeting was then organized by call
ing Col. ]. Fl. Allen to preside, and sp-
| pointing ]. NJ Fakes and w. A. Wade,
| Secretaries. The chairman made some
| remarks explaining the object of the
meeting, and the benefits to be derived
from farming clubs, and hoped the
farmers would take hold of the subject
and act with decision and energy.
Speeches were also made by Col. B. j.
Turner and DR.. ]. NJ. Anderson, both
bearing upon and urging the same cOul Sc.
An opportunity was then afforded,
when about forty members came for
ward and enrolled their names for the
county club.
The chair then appointed MessTs. I. K.

ested are cordially invited, to which time

an INSTRUMENTATION Dies suddenIy.

Mrs. Mary Fetz, an old lady being SO
years, and who has been long resident
of the city, died suddenly at her residence
on the corner of Summer and Jefferson
streets at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. She
had been infirm for some time, more the
result of old age and the wear and tear OF
time than of any specific disease. Recent
", however, she had recuperated and been
quite stout and vigorous. On Saturday
she walked up to the city, went through
the market, and to various portions OF
town, and we believe to church. She re-
turned home very much fatigued. Sundsy
morning, not feeling quite well, she had
some coffee brought to her room, which
she drank. Some cakes were brought
which she did not eat. Her granddaughter
made some soup and took it to her room.
On reaching the room she called, grand
ma" No answer came. Approaching the
bed she found that the old lady had drop
ped of into that sleep that knows no
waking in this world The family came
up and Ooroners inquest was held, the
verdict being that the old lady came to her
death from old age and exhaustion.

Cons O'Bricn shoots Himself with
a Pistol, near Guthrie. Ky.
We were informed yesterday, that a
Young man named Cons. O'BEien shot
himself with a pistol, few days since,
causing almost instant death. He had
been employed as a deputy clerk by his
brother, at Haydensville, two miles above
Guthrie, KY, on the Edgefeld and Ken
lucky Railroad For some cause it is said
that his brother discharged him from his
employ. A few days since, O'Brien and
his brother and others were in a grocery,
and after talking some time, Cons. O'Brien
went out. HIS brother soon afterwards
also went out and endeavored to induce
Cons. to go home. Cons. made some re-
mark. which his brother did not under
stand, and at once drew pistol, presented
it to his own head and fred. He fell into
his brothers arms and died almost IL
stantly. The deceased was a young man
some twenty-five or twenty-three years o.
age and unmarried. It is said that pre-
yious to the time above referred TO, Cons
O'Bnen one day drew out his pistol anC
informed some parties who were near hin
''that that was the way he expected TO die;
but his companions told him it was no
right to do such thing, and caused hin
to desist from any attempt on that coca
sion to take his life.

Death of william BergIn.

Mr.. William Bergin, who resided at the
corner of Spruce and Union streets, died
last Sunday about u o'clock.
Mr. Bergin, while quite young, was dis
abled by falling from horse, and received
injuries from which he has suffered, more
or less, ever since. On last Saturday Ii
was found necessary to amputate one Of
his legs at the hip joint. 1t was an opera
ton that is rarely ever successful even with
the stoutest, but in Mr.. Bergin's condition,
it was resorted to as the last effort to save
a life which was wasting rapidly away. 1t
proved too much for his delicate and pros
trated health, and he died about twenty
four hours after the amputation had been
made. MIR. Bergin was a worthy young
man, and highly esteemed by host OF
friends
