The Farmers and Greeley.

The Chicago Post says: /: Political arith-
metic, as ordinarily applied, may prove in
adequate in figuring out the chances of
Greeley's election. 1t is probably true
that no prior candidate for the Presidency
has been SO well calculated to bring to the
front heretofore retiring, but very impor-
tant, part of the voting population. We
refer to the Agriculturist interest. For
twenty-five years the farmers of large por-
tions of the country have been familiar
with the name of Greeley, and have come
to look on the venerable man with respect
not to say reverence, which it will be hard
for the jokes and jibes of his opponents to
upset. especially as they will probably
never see them.
lnagricultural neighborhoods, even the ira
ditional uncouthness of Greeley, his lack of
care for fine clothes, not less than his his
toric and honest devotion to the interests
of labor and heartfelt sympathy with those
who sweat and toll with their hands, have
given the sage Of Chappaqua foothold at
the flresides Of farmers and their families
which probably no other man in the Union
possesses or ever did possess. il

THE Supplementary Apportionment Bill
which gives Pennsylvania one more men,
ber of Congress, making the delegation
twenty-seven, has passed the Senate. This
increase will make it necessary to elect
three congressman at large at the next
election unless the Governor should sign
the apportionment bill passed by the last
Legislature, when one would be SO elected.
Should he sign the bill, another appor-
tionment will have to be made before

Forty Fourth Congress as the bill provides
that for the Forty Third Congress ONLY,

The Belefonte Wdtchman says there
is curious chap in Jail in that place by
the name of Scott Mcguire. He was ar
rested not long since for picking up things
around Germans hotel, and as he is partly
insane, is held for court, when it is believed
the judge will send him to the asylum. The
other day he got out of his cell, somehow,
through the register, into the hall, using
one of the iron bars which he had torn out
of the register, and made his way up stairs
into an impossible place in the attic, from
which he had to be dislodged by firing blank
cartridges at him. He was returned to his
cell, when he was suddenly seized with n
paroxysm of mirth, and indulged in a
multiplicity of capers, and including dan
cling, singing, &c. nI,'.

A Disaster at Sea.

Harbor Grace papers contains the details
of terrible disaster which occurred at
Labrador. The brig Huntsman, with sixty
two men on a sealing voyage, when off
Cape Charles, Labrador, April 90, was
driven upon rocks. Before the vessel struck,
three seamen saw the rocks and jumped
over board to try and save themselves, but
were instantly killed by floating ice. The
remaining SO took to the rigging, and in
five minutes afterwards both masts went
over at six feet above the deck, and only
seventeen of the crew escaped. OF til ese
seventeen, all but three, were seriously in
jured, by having arms and legs broken and
bodies bruised. They manged to reach an
other vessel by crawling over. the ice, dis
tance of half mile. Forty-fve men were
lost, most of them leaving families at or
near Harbor Grace.
