JUDGE PEARRs and his associates In
Cumberland have refused to recon-
mend to the Governor any commute
ton of the sentence OF the negro CRAIG.
Next Friday is the day fixed for the
execution, and it now seems probable
that CRAIG will be hung on that day.
As the time approaches, popular interest
in the case is growing painfully intense
among the Cumberland people.

Damaging Break In the James River
and Kanawha Canal.

A break occurred in the James River
and Kanawha canal, near Richmond,
on Saturday, on account Of which the
Tredegar works and Gallego mills, at
Richmond, Virginia, will have to sus-
pend until the damage is remedied. The
break was nearly forty feet in width,
and nearly all the water OF the canal
and basin from the Three Mile Locks to
the Gallego mills WAS let out at a rate
of speed marvelously rapid. 1t swept
over the slope of the hill and knocked
down the shed adjoining the house OF

The Uses of Water.

Since Sir William Armstrong introduce
ed his hydraulic machinery for raising
ore from the deep mines, and for loading
and unloading ships in dock, it has
been applied, as our readers are
aware, to many other purposes. By
the quiet pressure of the water the largest
OF dock gates are now opened and closed
with the utmost ease; newspapers are
printed, lifts are worked in hotels and
factories, and the scenes are shifted in
theatres. At the Royal Academy, when
exhibitions are IN preparation, truck-loads
of pictures are raised from the basement
to the galleries by a hydraulic lift of un.
usual size, fed by the ordinary water sup
ply. Water can be used to blow the bel
lows OF an organ, and in the employment
OF water Tor this or any other intermittent
purpose there Is the advantage that it is
always ready. Pull a lever, or turn a tap,
and 1t begins to work. There is no light.
ing Of fire, and waiting half an hour, as
IN the case of steam. And now an in
genlous mechanician at Paris has con-
trlved way to close and open shop shut
ters by means of the ordinary water sup
ply. The winch, and cog wheels, and
connecti E apparatus at present employed,
are not required; with twenty gallons of
water, at sixty feet pressure, more than
twenty square yards of iron shutters can
be raised or lowered merely by turning a
tap indie the shop. The water tubes, and
indeed all tho apparatus, are inside of the
shop, which renders it easy to guard
against effects frost; while failure of
water could be prevented by storing a

4 Chinese Judge.

A recent trial at Shang Ting shows
that Chinese Judge is nearly as sen
timental as the average French iurv>
man, who finds extenuating circum-
stances y for the acts of the worst
criminals. The assassin of high off
cial, murdered twelve years ago, gave
himself up to the authorities, and when
placed on trial avowed his act in these
words; "The man, y he said, "whom
1 assassinated, caused. twelve years
ago, the death of my father by giving
false testimony against him. Since
the day my father was beheaded.
I have followed everywhere, step
by step, the periurer whom I
had sworn to kill. If all that
time l delayed taking revenge, it was
because, in the event of my being con.
demned for murder, there would he no
one to render funeral honors to nv
mother, for I was her only son. She
died three months ago, and I have killed
my fathers murderer If I have de-
layed surrendering myself, it was be-
cause [ had important affairs to ar
range" The Judge did not reproach
this candid criminal with taking the
law into his own hands, but, much to
the satisfaction of the spectators, SET
him free for "having shown so much
filial attachment

Condition of Che winter Wheat.

Ihe following is summary of the con-
dltlon of winter wheat just issued from the
Agricultural Department: On the first
weeks of April a considerable portion OF
the northern belt of winter wheat area
was covered with snow. The condition Of
that visible gave promise of general ex,
emption from winter injury, leaving the
crops subject to the meteorological vicissi-
tudes of Aprii. In the Middle states, a
great Improvement upon the showing of
last spring is everywhere conceded, es-
pecially in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The prospect in the states south of Mary
land is less favorable than last year. and
there are indications of diminishing area
in the cotton states, although the average
is not intended to be given in this report
Michigan, the only state of the northern
border in which winter wheat is mainly
grown, presents a green and vigorous
growth wherever the snow has disappear
ed to reveal il, and Ohio makes far more
favorable returns than last year. In Ken
lucky a more checkered showing is made,
giving at present appearance decidedly
uufavorable cast, with indications of flu
ture Improvement as the weather becomes
settled. In Indiana and Illinois the I'M
favorable returns outnumbered the rose
eolored. The dry autumn retarded seed
ing and termination, and left the plants
too weak and shallow-rooted to endure
we'll the effects of the winters changes of
temperature. There al g similar causes
affecting of the wheat in Missouri, but d
great improvement over last year is re
nOrte6 and a still more favorable condi
ton exists in Kansas. In Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska, as is
known, very little winter wheat is produc-
ed, but full reports are given of such ex-
periments. The indications from Califor-
MIA all point to another year of great
abundance, scarcely county reporting
an unfavorable condition. As a whole, the
wheat prospect at the close of winter is
more favorable than at the same date in
1872.

Coal Lands.


The Commissioner of General Land
Office has just issued regulations under
the act providing for the sale of United
States Lands containing coal, approved
March Sd last, as follows:
Any individual twenty-one years of age,
and a citizen of the United States, or who
has declared his intention to become such.
may enter, by legal subdivisions, any area
not exceeding 100 acres, and an associa-
ton OF not less than four persons, who
shall not have expended not less than
$4,000 in working and improving any coal
mine or mines, may enter not exceeding
$40 acres.
The price per acre is ten dollars when
the land is situated more than fifteen miles
from any complete railroad, and twenty
dollars per acre when the land is within
fifteen miles of said road. In conflicts
when improvements, etc., have been com.
menced subsequent to March Sd last, or
shall be hereafter commenced, priority Of
possession and improvements should gov
een the award when the law has been
fully complied with by each party. A
mere possession, however, without salts
factor y imt rovements. will not secure the
contract to the first occupant when sub,
sequent claim shows his full compliance
with the law.

Street Life in Danburv,

Old Watson. on Nelson street, has got
nice little bill to pay. He sent man
down town for pot OF paint aud ladder.
The man got the paint, and then went to
luml er yard after a ladder. Then he
tied the paint pot on the end of the lad
der, and put the ladder on his shoulder.
This was very smart arrangement, and
the man himself admired it very much.
He started for home this way, and didn't
find any trouble in getting along the first
block, because people had an impression
that a loug ladder with pot of yellow
paint dangling on the end of it wasn't
exactly the thing to trife with, SO they
balanced along on the cub stone, or rub
bed up againstthe buildings. Pretty soon
the man saw somebody in a store he knew,
ana be turned around to speak to hira and
drove one end of the ladder into a MILL
nery case and knocked the crown out of an
eighteen dollar bonnet. Then he backed
off in alright, and knocked down two
sewing machine agents with the other end
Then he started to turn around, and an old
gentleman who was desperately cndeavor-
ing to pull his wife out of danger, saw the
peril, and shouted out, "Hi, there!" But he
was too late. The pot struck against an
awning post, tipped to one side, and the
entire contents went over the aged couple.
This so startled the man that he whirled
completely around, smashing in an entire
store front, frightening milkman's team,
and knocking over some thirteen persons
who were actively lodging about to get
out of the way. Then he dropped the
ladder and fed into the country shouting
murder and care" at every jump. A
regular ordained painter is now engaged
on Mr.. Watson's house.-NeuS.
