DESTRUCTION OF RAILROADS IN SPAIN

The Paris correspondent Of the Lon
don Times writes that during the last
few months the Carlists have destroyed
on one line IS coaches, 4 engines, and
7 bridges. One method OF destroying
them is to break down a bridge, then
put full steam on, and run the train in
to the chasm Another method is to de
tach the engine, and then start itfulltil
against the train so as to destroy the
carriages. On This same line they have
destroyed % kiIometars Of railway, rs
Of telegraph posts and wires, besides
greatly damaging various other stations,
bridges tanks, etc, the Whole of which
is an estimated loss to the company of
%, 0G0,000 rcBls, or more than a million
and a quarter Of dollars. Finally one
Of the Carlist chiefs, Lozano, has issued
a decree declaring that any railway
functionary caught within one hours
distance Of q station shall be immedi
ately shot.

DECISION CONTRARY TO SETTLED LAW.
Judge McKennan, of Washington,
Pa, while holding a term of the United
States circuit court in Philadelphia re
Gently, pronounced ruling in contra
diction to what has heretofore been
considered settled law. The case was a
suit brought by the drawer of a check
for 500, which had been raised to
81, 100 by the drawee, to recover from
the bank 50, 900 improperly paid.
Judge McKennan charged the jury
that if they believed from the testi-
mony and from an inspection Of the
check that there was nothing unusual
in its appearance, nothing which would
have been sufficient to put careful
person upon his guard, then they
should find for the defendants: il other
wise, their verdict should be for the
plaintiffs. The paying-tellers Of sew
eral banks having testified that there
was nothing in the appearance OF the
check, as raised to excite suspicion. the
jury rendered a verdict for the bank.

A NEW LAND.
The St Johns, Newfoundland, cor
respondent Of the New York World tells
the following: /" Alexander Murray, e.
G. s., our able and energetic provincial
geologist, has just returned from his
summers survey, and has brought in
telligence which has startled and de-
lighted every one. He has been explor-
ing q section Of the island hitherto IN
known, and has discovered a fertile
tract Of country, admirably adapted for
agricultural purposes, covered with mag
nifcentfoIestsof pine, birch and spruce,
and Of such an extent as to be capable
of supporting with ease 100, coo settlers.
Of this region he writes:
The country is simply superb. I be
lieve when [ come TO make an estimate
Of the available land in the region be
tween this river and The Exploits on
the one hand, and between it and Bona
vista Bay on the other, shall find the
area to be greater than, and quite as
productive rs, all the St. Georges Bay
country and the Humber put together.
1t is impossible to exaggerate the quail
ity Of the soil over IN enormous tract;
and | believe that this valley alone
might support with all ease upwards of
100, 600 settlers. No part of Nova
Scotia or New Brunswick can compare
with it that L know anything of, aud
few parts Of lower Canada
This fine tract, the very existence of
which was hitherto unsupported lies
around the shores of Gander Bay, River
and Lake, in the northeastern portion
of the island Gander Bay i. about
twenty miles III length, and there are
about 100 people living around It's
shores, who obtain precarious subsist
ence by catching salmon in summer
and trapping ia winter

DIAMONDS

The discovery of diamonds in South Africa, and
the consequent throwing on the market of quanti-
ties of stones, mostly of inferior qualities has SO
depressed prices that they are now loweEtban at
any time since 1Sis.
First quality white stones, such as are known as
First Water and the best of the second quality,
are now in price far below their real value At these
low prices we have added largely to cur stock OF
these grades, and now offer the largest stock OF
selected stones in this country
Purchasers wishing to select from unset stones
will find every size and weight in general use, and
will receive our best assistance and advice in
making selections.
Fine old India stones alone have been but little
affected They are rarely met with, and only in the
hands of connoisseurs be they dealers or not who,
knowing their rarity, are not willing to part with
them at less than full value.
During extensive dealings for many years, wo
have collected and always add to our collection OF
this class of stones when opportunity offers that
we are generally prepared tofurnsh specimen stones
The market is full of the lower grade Of African
stones, and many are tempted to purchase them ON
account of their seeming low prices but we advise
our customers to avoid them, it sdfcult to namo
a price at which they would be cheap.
