COMING EVENTS CAST THEIR SIlAD-
OWS BEFORE.

The New York Sun Democrat
ic) of the 18th inst. contained an
article on the New Hampshire cleo
ton, in which it was stated that "the
result Of to-day's election in New
Hampshire may be such as to exert
. good deal Of influence upon the
Presidential campaign. y * X
Until the election Of Grant in 1868
New Hampshires was strongly Repul .
lean. Sine then the majorities
the party have gradually declined,
and the State is admitted to be now
close and doubtful. Indeed, a few
scattering Temperance votes may
prevent the election Of a Governor by
the people. For national reasons the
result will be looked for with consid-
cradle interest" The result is not at
all a. satisfactory to the Sun as it
had anticipated it would be. yet tho
fact remains the same that tho infu-
ence this result will exert upon tho
Presidential campaign is an important
one. The victory was gained in the
face of the most adverse circumstan-
ces, aud At the best the State VA
considered . doubtful one. The fact
il that while the Republican party
may not be what it should be, yet
the people feel that the control of the
government il much safer in its
hands than in those Of the Democrat
&c party. The result in New Hamp'
shire but foreshadows that of the na
tional contest next November.

the Grain trade for the past week
says: Since our last weekly report no
change of weather for the better has
occurred. Advices from France and
Germany concur in stating that the
foods have been generally and anxiety
for the future is daily increasing. at
the end Of last week an unusually
grated barometric depression occurred,
violent storms Of wind, rain and snow
followed, and, have prevailed since,
consequently farmers at tie present
moment are nearly at a stand still as
regards agricultural operations, since
the present condition of the land stops
both sowing and threshing. tits only
natural that this should be serious
source Of anxiety TO growers although
it by no means follows that late seed
time is altogether Objectionable indeed
it has often resulted in satisfactory
crops. Hitherto the wheat plant has
not been complained of, except in
some inundated districts in France
still, fine weather is greatly needed to
enable farmers to get arrears of field
work, and vegetation to recover from
its temporary check
The general aspect Of the wheat
trade evinced a greater amount Of
confidence on the'part Of buyers and
more active business, with improving
tendency in prices, then for some time
past, owing probably to the falling
off in supplies on passage and small
shipments from southern Europe !;
also to the firmer tone of American

North Carolina is evenly spread

The East caught it Tuesday. Fiji
teen inches of snow feel in some por-
tons of Maine, New Hampshire and
Vermont. All along the New Eng
land coast the storm was very violent
and the damage to shipping was very
great. Many vessels were wrecked,
houses were unroofed and fences and
trees demolished.
New York suffered in a similar
way, and considerable loss of is
reported. ::
The news from abroad is of the
same tenor: AZ fearful hurricane
along the coast of the Mediterranean
did great damage. There were heavy
snow storms in England, Spain and
at Rome. -
Reports from Ontario and Quebec
state that the harvest snow of the
season fell Monday and Tuesday

the Normal Schools Of this State are
forced to remain closed during any
portion Of the coming school year.
X + y Butthe time and opportuni-
ties lost by the closing Of the Nor
NAL Schools of the State can have
no compensation. A great, free COM
munitY can survive any other mistake
than that Of the closing of the insti-
tutions in which its youth are educat..
ed. The withholding of the appro-
priation for these schools was not
merely staying Of progress, it was
a step backwards. The century just
closing has been one of wonderful
progress. In its passage it has drawn
knowledge down from the mountains
and spread it broadcast over the lev
ell plain Of society. The generous
public aid given to popular education
has raised that plain to an altitude
greater than the mountain peaks Of
olden science. Who wants to turn
back the tide Of progress ITO end
the century where it began? Let
the mistake of the past winter never
again mar the history of Minnesota.

We had intended to make few
remarks concerning. the outrageous
act Of the last House Of Representa-
tives in their defeating the Normal
School appropriation, and thereby
most seriously Gripping these great
State educational institutions. But
as, like the fellow whose load ofpota-
toes rolled out at the hinder end Of
his wagon when nearly at the top Of
the hill, words cannot do the subject
justice, and, as the disreputable trans
action has already been pretty efec-
tually ventilated by the leading pa
pers of the State, we forbear, with
the single remark that they won the
contempt of everybody save those Of
| their own ilk.-Lake City Leader.
| When " say the entire State
suffers by the failure to provide fully
for maintaining these schools, We
speak the sentiments of every right
minded man. Perhaps the Nail
would 60 further than some men for
it would be in favor Of the establish
ment Of the Normal Schools at the
expense Of the State, if they were
nothing more than preparatory high
schools. But the course of study fol.
lowed in the Normal Schools is ar
ranged with special reference to ft-
ting teachers for. profession, and
money spent in this direction by the
state, is we'll spent. The tendency to
extravaganza in these schools was a
natural outerowth Of the extrava.
aance Of the times few years ago,
and Of late years they have been
both efficiently and economically
managed. Their expenses have been
kept rigidly within the limits Of the
