SURE SIGN OF SPRINa.-As we write
this item the luguhrious sounds OF a
wheezy and discordant hand organ are
borne to our ears by the gentle zephyrs,
and the sounds form themselves into the
notes OF that delicious melody known
as Captain Jinks." Can any one
doubt now that winter no longer linger-
eth? Can any one doubt the pres
ence of gentle spring when he heareth
a hand organ playing Capt. links,
whose fame is not entirely disconnected
with the Horse Marines No, no, there
can be no doubt OF it, the Spring tim e
hath come, Gentle Annie" Else why

ADJCDGED INsANE.-James Peters,
who vas placed in the county jail on
Sunday last, terrifying to drown him
SELF az reported in these columns, on
Monday, has been examined touching
his sanity, by DR.. Hi!dreth, under the
direction OF Justice Johnston, and adj
judged insane. The attempt made at
suicide on Sunday is the second he has
made on his life. He becomes very
violent at times, and has repeatedly
attempted to dash his brain out by but
ting his head against the wall of his
cell, since his incarceration. As ii
will be some time before the authorities
OF Kentucky will be heard from, ofwhich
State he clans TO have been citizen
for ten years, it is not unlikely that it will
be necessary to put the old man in a
straight jacket to prevent his injurlng
himself or others.

ALABAMA LEGISLATORS ARRESTED.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 17.-MessrB. Morgan.
Kimbro, and McNeill, Conservatives, who have
certificates Of election as members Of the
Legislature, were arrested by United States
Deputy Marshal to-day, between Selma and
Uniontown. It is reported that the Marshal is
to take them to Mobile. The.Marsha1 said that
he had instructions not to take bail: The
offence charged is some violation Of the Elec-
tion Law. This will make the political complexion
Of tho Legislature doubtful on its organization,
as the carrying Of the PRISONERS to Mobile
and Conservatives would have ma jority in the
House if the arrested parties were allowed to take
their seats. The Legislature meets tomorrow.

New YoRK, Nov. 1.-THE London Times OF
the 5th instant, in an EDITOR al on the food in
Italy, says two-thirds of the province Of Man
tua and one-third that Of Ferrara have been
flooded. More than 5000 families are house,
less. Vast tracts in thexritories Of Par
ma, Reggie, and Modena are turned into
lakes, On the surface of which NAV
bo seen tops Of trees, roofs Of houses, and
floating caIrasBes of drowned cattle. Not only
solid barns and substantial farm houses pecu-
liar to those districts, but even churches have
have in many CAGES been unable to
withstand the violence Of the floods,
Many human beings have perished, bath
of those who allowed themselves to be caught
within the lower building, and Of those who fled
for safety to loftier edifces.
But hardly less wretched ia the condition OF
the survivors, The cattle they have rescued
from the flood are perishing from want Of fodder
They themselves are thrown for suatenance on
the il;hbors' charity. The harvest they have
lately g;arnered, the fields they have just sown,
are laid waste: What WAS, month ago, the
not unlikely to bear for, many years
Nor are t:he ravages limited to the lower lands
Of The Pto, but all around over the vast level,
and up o the mountain sides, the devastation
extends. The riyers are everywhere breaking
their bol1nds, and the waters are out through
out the peninsula. The distress is immense.
and threatens to exhaust the ordinary
recourse to public and private charity. To repay
the damages done to their dikes by the Po and
the Oglio in the Province Of Mantua alone, during
the present inundation, it is estimated thAt
SUN OF 9120, 900 will be required. :.

The EPizoofic Among the Chickens.
Special Despatch to The Chicago 1ribune
New YORK, Nov. 17.-The report that The epi-
zootic has broken out among the fowls in South
ern New York and New Jersey and Northern
Pennsylvania is found to be- true. The disease
runs its course very swiftly: The fowls are
taken with staggering fits, running at the
beak, and bearing all the symptoms Of The
epizootic. These fits recur with de-
lence, until death, which generally ensues
in a few hours. As soon as the chickens
are attacked they hide in holes or crawl of to
some corner and die. With regard to treatment,
none has been adopted. AS soon as the disease
is noticeable the fowls are killed. and, it is
charged, marketed in this and other cities.
a reporter who visited the New. York markets
yesterday, says many dressed fowls had discol-
ored and congested heads and necks, with harah
and unnatural appearance Of skin.
