Water Famine In Massachusetts,.

A dispatch from Springfield, Mass,
says: The snowy mantle of winter
which has settled down in such boun-
tiful abundance in the Connecticut,
HO,s0tonic and HOOasac valleys has
brought degree of Inconvenience and
suffering which none but the afflicted
communities can fully realize. The
entire summer, as well as the last
months of autumn, were favored with
but few rains, and when winter came
it found nearly all the streams and
wells in the western part of Massachu-
sets either very low or dried up alto.
gether, and hence the dilemma which
the people now find themselves in is a
very serious one. Manufacturing is
retarded or wholly suspended in many
sections, and it is only with great diff.
ficulty that some neighborhoods can
obtain the aqueous fluid in sufficient
abundance for ordinary domestic pur-
poses. The manufacturing interests
are also suffering terribly from the
unprecedented water famine, and
thousands of operatives are threaten
ed with idleness and destitutiOn. The
Dwight Manufacturing Company, of
Chicopee, has just been compelled to
shut down two of Its largest mills, and
over 300 persons have been thrown
out of employment in consequence.
AS fully one half OF these operatives
have been living from hand to mouth,
such will be compelled to ask help
from the town if the mills remain
closed for more than a month. The
matter has already been made the sub.
ject of a special town meeting, at
which $4,000 was appropriated for
pauper purposes, 81 900 of which is to
be used for immediate relief From
Berkshire county there come the same
d0leful reports, and the towns of
Hinesdale, Pittsfield, Adams and Great
Darlington are filled with idle operat-
ives, praying for rain or a thaw.

FORTY.FOURTH CONGRESS-
Proceedings OF the Second Session.

Proceedings Of the second Session.
On the Goth, the Senate met at noon,
l6 Senators being present. Senator Mitchell
was added to the committee on privileges and
elections, after which an executive session
was held and the Senate adjourned.
In the House on the 9th the speaker
presented message from the President
in regard, to obtaining certain concessions
from the Sioux Indians. A lengthy discussion
was had on proposition to read a petition
from citizens Of Cincinnati relating to count
ing the electoral vote. The reading was OBJ
jected to by Mr.. Garfield who claimed it was
out Of order. Mr.. Banning said the people
would have an honest ballot. box in spite OF
the army, the navy or the $4,000 ofice-hold-
ers. Mr.. Garfield characterized his colleagues
language a. the essence of violence and cal
culated to do much harm. Mr.. Frye said
the talk ofvar is bombast; the people take
no stock init, as is proven by the price Of
gold which has not been so low at any other
period since the REBELLION. Adjourned with
cut action: @
!. The House convened on the 28th, but
transacted no business. The Senate was not
in session. T.

Condition Of the Markets.

The markets arc unusually quiet,
even Tor this dull season of the year. The
unsettled condition OF political affairs prevent
anything like speculation in stocks, produce
or real estate. Only such business transactions
are made as result from the regular demands
Of consumption. Wheat especially, is sub
ject to the uncertainties Of the times. That
there is storage in foreign markets can be
no longer disguised, but the universal unwill
ingness to venture capital in speculative chan
nels prevents any marked advantage to our
products resulting from the shortage. In the
northwest there is not wheat enough to run
the local mills until another harvest, and al
ready mil}ors are findingi it troublesome to Sc
cure quantities sufficiently large to assume
uninterrupted work for the winter. At St.
Paul and Minneapolis the price paid for the
week past has been $l.l5 for No. /; s1.1O for
No. 2, and Sl.0o for No. 3.

Farms and Wages in California.


San Francisco Alta.
Our attention has been called to the
number of farms and of agriculturalists
or persons engaged in farm labor in
the Union and in California, and we
find that though the farms have on the
average three times as many acres in
this State, there are relatively fewer
laborers to the farm. The nation. has
2,659, 900 farms and s, ,922, 900 farmers,
while our State has $4,000 farms and
$4,000 farmers. Ohio, Connecticut,
and Nebraska have about the same
proportion as California, or two agri-
culturalists for each farm while New
York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois have
three for two farms. and Alabama and
Georgia have four for one farm. The
larger average size of the California
farms is caused by the fact that 2,70O,-
000acres out of6 1000 900 acres inclosed
are used for pastures of wild grass !;
and that on account of the dry charac.
ter and light, clean soil of most of the
farms, man can cultivate larger
area than in the moist, weedy, and
heavy soils of the Atlantic States.
There has been no notable change in
the rate of wages in California for
several years. Mechanics get from 50
to IS per day; unskilled white male
laborers from 81 to $3 and Cinnamon
from 60 cents to ST., without board.
Masons, plasterers, and plumbers re-
ceive from 81 to $5; carpenters, black
smiths, and wagon-makers, from So to
SIS; servant-girls for general house.
work, SIS to $25; farm laborers, from
$25 to $50 in winter, and from $50 to
$50 in summer, per month. with
board. Miners get $3.50 or 81 per
day; and surface laborers at mines,
$3.50 to SO, without board. The same
work is done for half as much on the
Atlantic Slope and Australia, and one
third in Europe, and provisions gen.
orally are cheaper in California.

A Virginia City (Nev.) Justice be-

thus discoursed of his wife: s'N1Ost
men make fools of themselves when
they marry. Now, I called the turn

India Rubber Bands for Trees.-A
New Haven company is making a new
thing to protect trees from, worms.
The invention is a rubber band with q
single bristling row Of brass pins set
very close to each other, like the teeth
of q comb, in the middle of tho strip,
and worms cannot crawl above it.
While this device might answer for
crawling worms, it would be of no use
as q protection against flying insects.
