THE perpetrators of the numerous acts of
burglary at Alfred still remain a conundrum to
the people of Alfred which not the least effort
has been made to solve. A few nights after
several similar offences were committed in
WATERFORD. Among others the house of Jere
Hobson was entered but nothing of value was
taken, the burglars being seemingly in quest of
food alone, and prefer this way of earning
livelihood to bearing the burden and heat of the
day. ...-.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-Friday night John
Conley of Biddeford was brought to Portland
by the City Marshal of that city for murder
Gus assault on his wife. On the way Conley
made dash to get away from the train and
would have succeeded if Conductor, Hobbs, who
was lust coming out of one of the passenger
cars. had not clinched him. The struggle for
mastery was pretty exciting until the Bdde-
ford Marshal got the bracelets on Conley.
After his arrival at the Jail in this city, Conley
tried to cut his throat with an aged jack-knife,
but they got it away from him before he had
inflicted any very serious injury. Next morn
ing Conley amused himself rolling on from tne
first landing ON to the floor beneath, distance
of some twenty feet, but fell on his feet and
hands and was not hurt.

WASHINGTON CITY.

The heavy rains CT Saturday night in some
sections OF the country-particularly to the
IOrthward and westward OF washington-ap-
rear TO have checked the progress of the forest
fires in New York and Pennsylvania which had
resulted in the destruction of millions of dollars
worth Of property. The rain in this section of
country was a mere sprinkle, ard the drought
here and in the neighboring counties of Viz
GINA and Marylani is becoming alarming. In
many portions OF the hitherto fertile valley of
Virginia they have had no good soaking rains
since April Of last year. The springs and wells
in many places have dried up, and the farmers
are beginning TO apprehend serious difficulty in
supplying their stock with water. Many are
now hauling water for family use, and if they
are not soon favored with copious rains the
streams will fail. The grain fields are showing
the evil effects, and the pastures look more like
the remains of closely grazed fields at the heel
OF dry summer, than their accustomed rich
and abundant spring yer lure The wheat is
now growing and will soon head, and if we
have no rain, will fall short of a full yield,
for the want OF strength to fill and ma
tGTe the grain, in consequence of all the
plant food being locked up in the dry earth.
The widespread drouth which become more fire.
quent every year in this country, confirms the
theory, also sustained by careful investigation
in France, that the cutting down of the forests
lessons the rain fall. The necessity for the pre-
seryation of the trees is to be seen both in the
effect they have upon the fertility of the soil
and the climate of the country. 1t was demon
strated duringa series of years in France that
more rain fell in the wooded country than on
the plains. These facts should stimulate the
farmers of this country not only to preserve the
small and isolated forests still standing, but to
replant some Of those that have been DESTROYED.
In some of the states of the northwest, like Ne
braska, day has been set apart called "Arbor
Day. in which the farmers and others, all over
the state, meet in their respective districts and
transplant trees. These are examples worthy
OF imitation in other sections.

The advocates of woman suffrage in Great
Britain are greatly chagrined at the vote on
their bill in the House of Commons some three
weeks since. They had no hope of passing it.
but counted on an increased vote. The list
shows a minority poll of 1i3 against Isl last
year, and some of the champions appear to
have fallen away from the faith. Mr.. Disraeli's
vote was expected, but his name is not on either
list; nor yet is Mr.. GladstOne's. But one MEM
her of the cabinet voted for the bill, Mr..
Stansield, and but two voted against it, Mr.
Bruce and aIr. Csrlwell. The attorney general
both voted and spoke for the bill, while the
attorney general for Ireland both voted and
spoke against it. Among conservative ex
ministers in the minority were Sir Stafford
Northcote and Dir. Ward Hunt, and with them
was Lord John Manners. The most telling
argument used against the bill was the fact,
which was not denied, that the great majority
CT women do not ask for the right of suffrage.
The indications are there, as ON this side of the
Atlantic, that if the great mass of women wanted
the ballot, no man would array himself against
their dc mand.
