tural laborers, have been fined two
shillings and costs for savage as
sault on a non-unionist labOrer at
Hessitt, near Bury st. Edmunds,

The Austrian correspondent OF the
Schleische Presse says that it is now
pretty generally understood in mill
tary circles in Vienna that the imme-
diate consequence of the retirement
of Baron Kuhn from the Ministry OF
War will be a reorganization of the
landwehr in both halves of the mon
archy according to the French sys-
TEN.
Fears are expressed for the safety
of Temple Bar, in London. The i'm
mense edifice is settling toward the
north. Should the great arch fall,
almost at any hour, there would in
evitably be a terrible smash of hu-
man beings, horses, and carriages,
all mingled together, besides the
minor evil of closing the main ap-
proach to the city for weeks.
A mother in England heard recent
ly that her boy was very sick at
boarding school, and went after and
took him home. His body bore
marks of whipping, and he died the
next day. A jury, which seems to
have been of about American av-
erage, voted that the boy died of sun
stroke, and recommended the head
master to whip no more pupils.
A young man who was recently
tried in London, England, for the
murder of his aunt by hanging her.
was acquitted, although he declared
the act to have been his. The jury
took the ground that finding his rela-
tive, who had committed suicide,
hanging in the house when he Ell
tered, the shock affected his mind
and led him to imagine that he had
murdered her.

The lemon crop is poor this yea
along the coasts of Spain, Africa, ant
Italy, which usually furnish the sup
plies. Mention, in the south of France
has fine crop, however, and the frui
from there bears a sea voyage mucl
better than any other kind. There
is now an unusual number of Amer
lean vessels in the harbor of Mention
The usual cargo for a vessel is 5000
boxes, each containing 600 lemons
This would make the number of lem
ons carried by vessel 100000 OF
the average.

An interesting little establishment
has just been broken up at Trebizon(
under circumstances which have ere
ated sensation in that place. Fol
some time past Trebizond has beer
kept in state of uneasiness owins
to the proceedings of this household
which consisted of father, six sons
and one daughter. The family weak
ness was murder. In a brief space
of time the eight persons composing
the family managed to get through
according to the Trebizond CORES
pondence of the Levant Herald, nc
fewer than 235 murders. Out of this
number the gentlemen of the family
were each responsible for 80 murders
while the young lady only committed
25, though. but for the premature in
terferance of the authorities, it il
considered probable that she would
have completed an equal number
The predecessor of the Governor
caused her to be arrested, together
with her amiable parent and four o.
her brothers. 1t is not stated what
became of the remaining brothers
but the poor old gentleman was
hanged about three months ago, anG
two of his sons met with similar
melancholy accident on the 25th o.
last month. The other two and the
young lady are still languishing il
