Dom Pedro has reached Spain. BE has
finished up England, Belgium, Germany,

The Sprague print-mills in Maine, Mass

Beecher asks for a change of venue Of
the trialof the suit of Moulton against him
self from Kings County to Franklin, a
county located in the northern part of New
York. He says he cannot get an impartial
trial in Brooklyn, and demands change
to the backwoods, where nobody ever heard

A good days work was done on Monday
last at Pottsville, Pa, in the passing of
the sentence of death upon five members of
the infamous Molly Maguires who had been
convicted of the brutal murder of police
man Yost. These wretches have so long

ave made the matter much worse The
'andal has now attained such . form that
