Liverpool agents this morning tele-
graphed Mr.. Sparks, New York agent,
asgfollows: feThe Atlantic's deviation to
Halifax is incomprehensible. The
quantity of coal on board was nine hum
dred and sixty-seven tons, against an
average consumption during eighteen
voyages of seven hun,ired and forty
four tons. Without explicit statement
of the engineers, the supposition is that
the vessel, in consequence of hard
winds and rough weather, was obliged
to burn largely in excess of the usual
amount of coal; hence the run to Hall
fax for fresh supply" A portion of the
passengers saved are expected Saturday
by steamer from Halifax, and arrange
ments are making to obtain subscrip-
tions for their relief. The steerage pas
sengers are in very destitute condi-
ton. The steamer Algeria, which
sailed on the twenty-second of March,
will bring a list Of passengers whose
passages were prepaid here; also, their
destination.
NINE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-Two SOULS
ON BOARD.
LONDON, April 3.-The steamship At

dred and ninety-eight men, seventy
four women, twenty-eight male and
twenty-one female children; Scotch,
seven men and four women; Irish,
forty-three men, eighteen women and
three children; other nationalities, one
hundred and fifty adult males, thirty
two women, ,nineteen male and eighteen
female children. Aiarge number of en-
igrants embarked at Queenstown, MAX
ing the total number on the steamer
at the time she sailed from that port,
nine hundred and fifty-two.

The STOKES VERDICT The finding OF the
jury in the case OF Edward 5. Stokes, accused
of the murder of Fisk, will probably have sur
prised no one. Ii he had been acquitted en-
tirely and sent forth to breathe the air of liberty
once more il would have been only what the
public considered possible and even probable.
When that uRlOubted man-slayer, after an iui
prisOnment oftwenty two months, and two graz
pies with the law, in the last Of which he was
found guilty of murder in the first degree, mana
ges to get another trial, and has money enough to
employ the best legal talent, and if necessary
to put it elsewhere where it will do the most
good, the probabilities are that he has not
much to fear from the ultimate result. As it
is in this case, Stokes il found guilty only of
murder in the third degree and goes to the
penitentlary for four years The bad chara:-
Ter OF Fisk has been at the bottom the real
ground Of any sympathy which has been felt
for Stokes, who was at one time partner oil
Fisk in business, his match in bad habits, and
worse in lawlesS crime, inaSmncA As be added
man. Staying to his other evil deeds. Perhap:
it may be better for Stokes personally that hC
is sent to prison than II he had been acquitted
as it is quite possible that SOME of Fisk's al
legged desp2radees would in the event o
S,ukes's liberation have inflicted capital pun
ishnent upon him themselves. Bait rS,m.

TIE LIQUOR LICENSES There were nine
teen applications before the court of this
county for license to sell liquor, and of the
nineteen, eleven were granted. viz: Smyrna,

This leaves six places in this town with
licenses, there being three parties holding over
to the April term. 1t may be fair to estimate
that there are as many holding over as obtained
license, which would constitute at least twenty.
two legal liquor dealers in the county This is
small number in comparison with those
existing before the new law went into effect
yet it is larger than the temperance mer
anticipated, and larger, they think, than wou q
have been granted had the Chief Justice been
on the bench. Judge Wotten owns the Brick
Hotel, at Georgetown, and they think, there
fore, that his judgement was not, from the
very nature of the case, as unbiased as i
might have been.

THE TIDE TURNING The calamity new
upon the country is likely to work to the ad-
vantage of agriculture. For few years past
and notably for the past twelve months, every
move in business circles has tended to the lg-
n6ring Of this great branch of industry. La
boring men turned their backs upon it and
looked to the cities and to manufacturing; in
yestments likewise turned from it and looked
to stocks and bonds. But the revulsion to
both manufacturing and stock jobbiug has
created reaction, and it looks as if the cur
rent would set back again, aud so continue un-
til the equilibrium is restored. Already we
see the indcstons. Last week, for the first
time in several years, strangers were IN our
midst looking for farms. Two were IN this
town, and both expressed preference for real
estate investments, over all others now offered.
Land sales, as we have already mentioned,
show an appreciation, notwithstanding the
shrinkage so universal and distressing in all
branches of business The stampede from the
country to the city has stopped and the cur
rent has set the other way. All these seem to
be the shadows of coming events, and oul
agriculturalists SO regard it.

How THEY PROPOSE TO DO IT.-The Mil
ford Immigration Society propose to sell land
this way: Those having farms to sell are to
send the Secretary Of the Society detailed
description of the same, accompanied with one
tenth of one per cent. of the amount asked for
the property that is, send in cash 81 on every
$1,000 of value, to be used in advertising these
lands in Northern and Eastern papers. When
purchaser arrives, he will be introduced to
the Real Estute Agents Of this Society, Messrs.
j. W. G. Gardner & Co., and by them shown
the property he desires Messrs. Gardner &
Co. will collect the usual commission of 5 per
cent. for selling these lands, and agree to pay
over to the Immigration Society One-halt OF
this amount, viz: % per cent, to be used by
them in further advertisngin in Northern papers
By this plan it is hoped that there will be
maintained a permanent fund with which tG
make known to emigrants the peculiar advan
tages Of the Peninsula, and especially Of Oul
State and Milford.

/. Coloring Grapes. q

- The complaint is frequently
made that grapes WORT color
well. Nor is this defect confin-
ed alone to those grown under
glass; Concords and other har-
dy varieties are sometimes seen
of a pale, pinkish purple when
the berries are evidently mature.
The cause is so evidently want of
foliage that every vineyardist
should make it a point to induce
a strong growth of luxuriant
leaves This does not necessarily
mean plenty of wood-although
that should not be curtailed too
severely-but do let us have
plenty of strong healthy leaves
on our vines. The lack Of color
s more observable under glass
when the canes have been SO
persistently pinched off that no
foliage can grow, but wineries
having their fruit entirly shaded
with dense mass of leaves are
seldom found to be pale and
sickly looking. 1t il true that a
col dcloudy spell during heripen
ing process will have an effect
similar to want of foliage, yet a
renewal of clear warm r weather
viii soon make a change, One of
our exchanges recommends al
lowing vines to run over trees
and buildings, thus giving an in
creased amount of leaves; and
the idea is good, for it is a well
known axium that s.the more TO-
liage the better the fruit" En-
courage all the laterals to grow.
and never pinch them excepting
they are unusually robust, and
never beyond bounds. Let them
shade the punches entirely, re
membering that the direct rays
of the sun are not what puts the
richest color into the fruit.

Giving Heartily to God.

1t is related of Andrew Fuller
that on a begging tour for the
cause of missions, he called on a
certain wealthy nobleman to
whom he was unknown, but who
had heard much of Fuller's tai
Tents and piety.
After he had stated to him the
object of his visit, his lordship OBJ
served that he thought he should
make him no donation. DR.. Full
Ter was preparing to return when
the nobleman remarked that
there was one man to whom, if
he could see him, he thought he
would give something for the
mission, and that man was An
drew Fuller. Mr.. Fuller imme-
diately replied. eMy name, sir,
is Andrew Fuller" On this ac-
count the nobleman with some
hesitation, gave him a guinea.
Observing the Indifference of
the donor, Mr. Fuller looked him
in the face with much gravity,
and said, "Does this donation,
sir come from your heart! If it
does not, l wish not to receive it.
The nobleman was melted and
overcome with this honest frank
ness, and taking from his purse
ten guineas more said, "there,
sir, these come from the bottom
of my heart"
Men should give to the cause
of missions Scheerfully. They
should do good with a good mo
tive. sGod loveth a cheerful
.giver." r."-Presbyterian Banner.
