We have no further Improvement to no.
tice in the money market, but rather har-
dening of rates on the street. The demand
for discounts and currency has been more
urgent at some of the banks, whileat others
there was slight falling off The offerings
on the street were of fair extent, but in
some instances very good paper was done
at an advanced rate. Nothing transpired,
however, to require any change in quota
tions. We consequently continue to quote
street rates of first class paper at Y y
i8; first class mortgage at 10, and second
do at l2.
Among to,day's transactions we noticed
some first class paper, with United States
bonds as collaterals, at 4 p cent y month.

The Peace Jubilee.

Gilmores Worlds Peace Jubilee will commence in Boston June l7th and end on the fourth. of July following, thus lasting nearly three weeks. Mir. Gilmore Is in high spirits over the prospects of this mon- ster demonstration. People arc taking hold of it with an energy and alacrity far grea- ter than that shown at the same stage three years ago. A large number of tickets have been already sold, and the committee have constant applications from various direc- tions. Work was to have been begun last Friday on the building. The cold weather that has come to us at last has frozen the ground, and the foundations over this vast area to De laid with the aid of the picksxe through its solid substance. About five hundred men will be put to work on it. The cost of the building is we believe, 8 $l5o,- 900. The contractor offers to talk it off the hands of the committee and remove it, when the concerts are over, allowing them thirty thousand dollars for the materials, which would make their rent $l2O, ,000. The use of the land is given them by the land company that owns it. The proba- bility is, that it will be kept up for year, and perhaps longer. The city governmen, comes forward in a liberal spirit to aid to the full extent that is consistent with its duty to the citizens. The project is very popular in Boston. There is no open op position to it, and there is general feeling that it is to be great affair for the city.

Lime Rock.


 Perhaps the readers of the NEWS would like to hear word from Lime Rock. There is not much going or at present. The young people are having lively times, improving these moonlight evenings with parties and festivals, accompanied by the music of Mr. John Decker. Business is fourishing about as lively as ever. The two foundries are running under the management of MT. James Barnum. who, by the way, is a good manager. We con- gratulate Mir. Frank Thorpe on being so luncky as to draw so large a prize in the lottery, which we understand is something over three hundred dollars. There are also others here who drew smaller prizes .... The most interesting item, is the speedy recovery of our friend, Milton Brazee under the skillful application of therapeutic electricity, by Mrs. Fannie Green of Can aan. Mir. Brazee was thought incurable by many and has been confined to the house all winter, having entirely lost the use 'o all his limbs We don't wish to advertise for Mrs. Green, but can't help remarkinl that her knowledge in therapeutic electric ity, and removing so obstinate diseas after all other medicine had failed, is be yond anything we have ever seen.

Assault en Qmsen Victoria.

Queen Victoria was subjected to das. tardly attack by an infuriate6 Fenian, last week Thursday. The Queen was returning from drve in Hyde Park, when young man named Alfred O'Connor rushed to the carriage and struck the royal lady with an unloaded pistol, at the same time present. ing document demanding amnesty for imprisoned Fenians, and exclaiming "sign this or die." Prince Arthur, who was seated in the carriage with the Queen knocked the man down. OConnor was seized and conveyed to prison. The Queen was perfectly calm. When OConnor was questioned he said his design was to fright en the Queen into doing justice to Ireland. Of course the event has caused great ex- citement in London. Business was per emptorily interrupted in the house of lords while Lord Granville related the facts to their lordships. His account differs very slightly from that first reported. The pis tol was presented within foot of the Queens head. The Queen bent her head to avoid the shot, but the pistol not only was not loaded, but if it had been would not have propelled a bullet. In the house of commons MT. Gladstone made a similar statement. .-Erchange.

 : The wind blew furiously and out door work was entirely out of the question. The 'oldest inhabitant" does not remember when March ever before furnished the coldest weather of the season. It is grati- flying to realize that such weather cannot last long at this season of the year.
 Pulls VI1age.-The school house in Amesville is certainly the poorest one in town. The floor is partly single and partly double, and presents that patched up, stable | like appearance which the careful farmer gives his barn, when he tries to stop up the holes but cant. The walls are ditto, only more so as they have not had the benefit of patch at all: They are in all the stages of consumptive dilapidation, strlngy, drizzly and nasty, half off and half on, in just the stage of dissolation when men begin to think of pulling down the old and putting up the new. MT. Martin Wolfe has stood ready to make the repairs, but even this gentleman has had to give it up on account of the confab which is really more than the work and expense too. ''Ye" party that won't always stand in the way. Who the party that won't is, don't know. hope when this article comes to view, ''ye' Objectors will scratch their heads for tho better consideration and comprehension oi a few things. lst The school house mus
 be repaired. End A man stands ready to do the work 3rd It is a shame if those
 favorable circumstances are not taken ad vantage of.-Death has been among u.
 once more. Tine community has agair solomnized the departure of one of it's owr
 members, who was taken away after {
 sickness of only eleven days. Mrs Browr was an exemplary christian; a kind mothe and loving wife. A deep felt sorrow per vades the entire community at her loss, fo all that knew her testify to her worth.

Norfolk.
 Norfolk Green" proper, counting from the bank southward, consists of 20 dwell ing houses. Scattered through these, ? or g in place, are the following class of in habitants, 19 maiden ladies above certain age; II widows; Grass widow; wid- over and batchclor, making s3 in all. We challenge any town in Litchf1eld Go. to make the same showing, and can any one here, after seeing this exhibit, wonder at the stiffness and perfect quiet that al- ways surrounds the 'sGreen." and makes so many strangers ask in wonder if 'tis Sunday dW tue aoeeE in Norfolk. ...... MT. Lockwood Perkins returned to Norfolk after 3 weeks stay in Rhode Island, where he and Demars are working the feather cleans ing machine. He reports bushes good and expects to return at an early day.......The long talked of exhibition of the Norfolk Dramatic association, is soon to take place. Having seen their rprogramme,I I undertake to say 'tis good thing and can hardly fail to please all who may witness the perfor- nance. The Park House I understand ceases to be public house after April 1st. Our worthy landlord of the Norfolk House can aud will in the future, as in the past, supply the wants of the inner man, and get him to the train on time if horsefesh don't fail. We hope however he will hereafter have that back seat fastened down, and not spill out any more passengers.......W have great need of long and copious rains in this place. Mills are stopped. wells and springs failing and many are greatly troubled to obtain water enough for culinary pur poses. Somebody says tis because we have so many Good Templars and Good Samari tans going around loose, and say they have absorbed all the water, but can't say how that may be, but one thing l do know, judging from the frequent signs hung out along the highway, there is no lack oi whisky. No one has been bold or smart enough to make a corner on that article yet in Norfolk SEET sE BEA.
