Brighton is situated in the North

territory consists mostly Of dry land,
and it has not half SIS much water
consisting of lakes asits neighboring
town Of Salem has. Brighton has
but three small lakes, but still it is
not a temperance town, for it has one
grog-snop in it; tho cultivated land
of the town consists of different quail
tiles, large part of it however is
what is called clay land, and rather
poor 1t has on an average good
meadows, and is well supplied with
timber, and, as general thing water
is found most all over the town with
out digging extraordinarily deep to
to find it. The people in the town
have suffered a great deal of loss
from having their crops destroyed

though small in size, still great de-
stroyer OF crops, the ''chinch bug
The last year the damage done to
the farmsrs in this town was terrible.
It destroyed most all the wheat and
also damaged to a great extent most
all other crops, such as oats, corn
and barley, and farmers that had
sowed from ten to one hundred bush
els of wheat hadit about all destroy
ed, and have been obliged all the
winter to buy their -four for bread.
Hay was also very small crop, and
fax was not damaged by the bugs
but there had not been much sowed
Of it. This town used to depend
mostly on the wheat crop, that makes
consequently hard times for the far
mers, and want of money at the
present time.
Farmers have now most all got
through sowing for this spring, and
but very little wheat has been sowed,
the most that has been sowed is fax
also more oats than in former years,

Causes OF the Rise in Gold.

The causes of the movement are not
difficult to define. Ever since the
panic, the rate of interest has been SO
low and the caution among investors so
decided that an unusual preference has
beon given to government securities
both by private individuals and fnan-
cial institutions. Prices of bonds have
thus been kept above the European
quotations, which have been depressed
by the unsettled condition of the Lon
don and continental money markets,
and United States securities have, from
this cause, been steadily fowl & home
for several months past. The amounts
OF bonds thus returned must have been
very large. The redux is by no means
at its height Just now, and yet, last week,
one lot of new fives of 500, 600 was re-
ceived, and the week previous one par
Gel of $500. 900 of the same class of
bonds arrived. Besides this class of
securities, some considerable amounts
of railroad bonds have been returned
from Germany. This refiux of invest
ments has kept exchange high at the
time when rates are usually the lowest,
and We have had to send out possibly
S25, ,O0O, 600 more of gold than we other
wise should, to pay for securities which
we had regarded as having found per
manent resting place in other countries.
Such a movement would hardly have
been deemed possible in anticipation !:
and its occurrence opens our eyes to a
new source of uncertainty in the ex-
changes. At present, we see no symp-
toms of its early cessation. The enor-
nous issues of obligations made by
France have caused a continuous shift
ing of securities ever since. The Eu-
rOpean investment markets have been
and still are unsettled, and possibly also
are overcrowded with issues in the
hands of negotiatoTs and seeking a final
resting place among investors. And
yet the coinage operations of Germany
and the singular accumulation of specie
in the bank of France are causing an
unsettled feeling in the great money
markets which is calculated to force Sc
ourities on the markets. Just now,
Paris is negotiating loan of $50, OOO,-
600, the making room for which is like
ly to cause some other investments to
be parted with. So long, therefore, as
the market rate for money continues
here 1s2 per cent. above the quotations
in the European markets, it would seem
that we must stand exposed to this re-
turn of securities. The prospect is not
a welcome one; for it implies a further
outflow of specie, with consequent fuc-
tuations in the gold premium and in
values generally, which are anything
but wholesome in their effects on bust
