That our iron has suddenly severed

The Two NaYies.

We take the following extract from
the New York CONNER ciaJ AdDert5ser
in relation to the nayies of this country
and Spain
Three years ago the Spanish navy
consisted of 100 ships, carrying 1,055
guns, and manned by -, $50 searnen, T.
$50 marines, and 1850 officers. Admi-
raj Porter is reported as saying, Friday,
that the Spanish fleet IN Cuba consisted
of As vessels manned by 1900 men.
Among these are probably what is left
of the 80 gunbOats constructed in this
country for use against the Cubans. Our
navy, all told, numbers {. 300 men, and
1900 marines. But the United States IS
always on deck in a naval action. She
never stops TO count guns or men. IL
must not be forgotten, however, that
the insurgents in Spain have possession
of some Of the finest ships in the Span
ish navy, and such as they have in the
Mediterranean would doubtless be glad
to cooperate with our squadron in those
waters, should hostilities ensue.
In the latter part Of July the insur-
gents at Bayonne, got possession of the
iTon-clads Numancla, 40 guns; Tetuan,
40 Victoria, "a: of the wooden frigates
Vile de Madrid, As; Alamanza, 4s:
VigiIante, 2; Blasco de Garay, 6; Isa-
belle Ia Catolica, 10, and one other YES
sci, named in the cable dispatches, Fer
rains The Nigilante was at once cap
tured by German ship under Saline
rons proclamation that these vessels
were pirates. A dispatch, soon after.
stated that the German government dis
av0wed this act and another stated that
Germany and Great Britain had decided
to declare the rebel vessels pirates. The
English Admiral, Yelverton, seized and
took the Almanac and Victoria 10 Glib
Taltar, with the intent TO deliver them TO
the Spanish Government. These acts to-
getheT reduced the insurgent navy by
three vessels, and in a series of brilliant
maneuvers, at Cariagena, the Numanea
impinged ON Ferdinand isabella y Is
Catolica, and sent her TO the bottom OF
the sea. One Spanish frigate, the Ara
piles, thirty guns, is in dry dock al the
Brooklyn navy yard.

IT is an old saying, and time has
proved its truth, ''that half loaf is
better than no bread" and it is one
moreover, which needs to be well con-
sidered by those workingmen who
are talking of prospective strikes.
Whatever virtue there may be in the
system of strikes as a remedy for the
exactions of employers, no worse time
than the present could be chosen to test
its efficacy. Dispatches from all parts
of the country are constantly bringing
reports of the enforced suspension OF
some of the most solid business houses,
the closing of factories and the entire
stoppage of work in many industrial
branches. Manufactures of all kinds
are run for the benefit of the owners,
and every day they lay idle is so much
drawn from the income of their propri-
etors. Wages must always be regulated
by supply and demand, but just now it
is not merely question of supply and
demand. In many instances there is no
demand whatever, and it may be months
before employers find themselves in a
condition to resume business, while
some are so crippled that they will never
DC able TO resume Would it not be well

timber-shorn lands. Hammonds fur
mace, and Penfelds forge were the re-
suit. and although both were conducted
on scale of economy and moderation,
the manufacture of iron added steadily
to the wealth of the parties, and in de-
gree, contributed to the general thrift
and prosperity of the town.
Farming interests, aided by our strong,
productive soil, yielded good returns for
the bone and sinew of our hardy, patti
ent, industrious and frugal husbandmen,
as was evidenced by improved dwellings
and improving farms.
During the summer months Lake
Champlain afforded ample means of
communication but all through the
long dreary winters, we were isolated to
an embarrassing degree to such
an extent, that when railroad project
was. inaugurated and energetically can
vassed by General Hammond, major
ity of the voting inhabitants and asses
sed wealth of the town, gave their inf1u-
ence in favor of bonding, in order to Sc
cure the coveted means of ingress and
egress; have always doubted the alb
stract propriety of this course, but as a
necessary means, to attain great end, l
think it will be eventually looked back
to, as polite measure, under the cir
cumstances; the result, justifying the
means necessarily resorted to. In fact
many, originally hostile to the measure,
have already become reconciled, in view
of the grand results attained and in
prospect, "By their fruits, we shall

A New temperance Movement.

There is sense as well as novelty in a
movement recently set afoot by London
temperance societies. A petition is being
prepared for presentation at the next
session Of Parliament, praying that
licensed inn-keepers may be compelled
to supply customers with tea and coffee
when required, the ground taken being
that many would prefer less harmless
beverages. There are numbers of coffee
houses in London, but as general thing
the tea and coffee sold are so poor, &C
cordmg to the advocates of this move
ment, that there are few who will drink
them, while, on the other hand, when
inn-keepers have tea and coffee for sale
they are uniformly of good quality.
Then the coffee houses are not to be
found except on Main streets, the inns
Astounding in the by-ways. Of course
there are many arguments pro and con,
but as the English laws affect to govern
all places of public resort with view to
the accommodation and protection of the
general public, the success of whose
movement will render inns, which are
regarded as necessities, one degree more
useful than they are.

LAWRENCE, Mass, Nov. Is.
Haverhill was the scene ola confagra-
ton this morning which proves to be the
greatest calamity that ever befel that
city. About three o'clock a. m. flames
were discovered in Washburn Block.
and in few moments the whole block
was one sheet of flames. The fire rapid
" spread, and beforeit could be subdued
had burned eighteen buildings, turned
out of shelter thirty-five business firms
and about eight hundred hands from en-
ployment. Among the buildings 5ulrsd
were some of the leading and finest shoe
structures in New England. The origin
of the fire is unknown. The loss win
reach S175, 900, which is fully covered
by insurance. The principal losers of
the buildings are J. p. Gilman, one
wooden and two brick blocks; S. F.
Prescott, a fine brick block; ]. b.
Nichols, brick block; George Green,
large wooden block. 1t is estimated that
the salvage on stocks, large portion of
which were removed and only injured
by water and exposure, win amount TO
so per cent. of the value. The bodies Of
Amos George, shoe manufacturer, and
Amos c. Heath, an employee of Boynton
Bros, were found in the ruins of Gil
mans Block, and il was supposed a third
person was still in the ruins. OF tie
firemen, Engineer Mckinney, Foreman
Little. of the steamer Essex, and fireman
Hutchinson, were each badly injured by
falling walls, but no fatal results are an
ticipated. Assistance was sought from
Lawrence, and washington steamer
was sent, making the distance of nine
miles, with two inches of snow on the
ground. in the remarkable time of one
hour. The Origin of the fire is unknown,
but the explosion of a cask of cement in
the building where the fire was discoy-
cred was the immediate cause of its rapid
spread.

The success of the horse Thad Ste
vens In the great four mile heat race at
San francisco yesterday win no doubt
stimulate California breeders to still
greater exertions. They have some of
the best sires in this country. and
with care, especially in the matter of
running two-year-olds, there is no rea-
sou why the Pacific States should not
raise hcrses unequalled for their staying
qualities.
Had yesterdays race been run under
American jockey club rules, Thad Ste
vens would have been ruled out at the
end of the second heat for not having
won one heat in two. But his winning
the third and fourth heats shows that he
has unequalled bottom, coupled with
great strength, which, not having been
abused when he was a youngster, has
now made him the best long-distance
horse in America, if not in the world.

A PERSISTENT THIEF.-Early last eve
ming a gentleman named f. A. Boothby,
belonging in Brattleboro', VT, was on
Court street, and in endeavoring to find
Washington street inquired the direction
of one of the well-dressed loafers that
infest that section. The loafer volun-
teered to show him, was very attentive,
and the two started off, The Vermonter
soon began to be suspicious he was not
going right, and refused to be escorted
further. Meeting Officer Clark of the
Sd Police in Bewdoin Square, the stran-
ger inquired his way, and was told he
was going wrong. The other fellow
then came up and said to the officer that
the M was his friend and he would
show him where he wanted to go. The
stranger denied knowing him, when
Officer Clark gave the loafer g one,
two, three" and sent him humming into
the street. The Verm0nter was then
taken to the American House by the Off
Ger. The swindler insisted upon going
in, still claiming that the man was his
friend, but was driven out and after a
while went off. The stranger had quite
large sum of money.-Boston Herald,

An INTERESTING QUESTION DECIDED
Is A MAN HOLDEN FOR CHARITABLE OR
CHURoH SUBSCRIPTION Judge Strait
yesterday rendered decision in the
case of Robert B. Loveridge, respond
ent. as. the Walter A. Wood Moving
and Reaping Machine Co., appellant.
Plaintiff brought an action for $50 for
services. The defendant on the trial adj
mitted the Indebtedness and set up as a
defense that the plaintiff had previously
signed subscription to the amount of
800 for the purpose of assisting in pay
ing the current expenses of st. Mark s
church, in Hoosick, for one year. That
said claim had been assigned by the
church to the defendant before the COM
mencement of the action. The plaintiff
admitted on the trial below that he had
voluntarily signed this subscription, and
also that his family attended church at
st. Marks, but claimed that he was not
liable on the said instrument for the
reason that there was no pecuniary con-
sideration moving to him in the said
subscription, and that the same was void.
The Court below decided that he was
not liable for the subscription and plain
tiff obtained judgment for $40 and costs.
The judgment was brought into the
County Court on appeal. Judge Strait
reversed the judgment of the Court be-
low on the ground that q subscription for
a charitable or religious purpose is valid
in law without there being any pecuni-
airy consideration personally to parties
so subscribing. Briggs Reach appeared
for respondent, and Mr.. G. Hatfield, of
Hoosick, for appellant. Troy Press:
