THE RI SSIAN FLEET.
They Left New York by Request Of
Evarts.

New YORK, May 10. A belief is prevalent
that the Russian fleet is waiting off shore in ex-
pectation of capturing some vessel from Provi-
dence or New Hauen with arms or other contia
band of war for the Turks on board
The Russian fleet left this port in response to
request from Washington to that effect. This re-
quest in the form of iHtimaiion from
Evarts to Alexis, Minister Shishkin and Admiral
BatoF eff that it was the desire of the President
that the Russian vessels should not longer remain
in American waters, and that the State depart
ment preferred to make this intimation, hoping it
might thus be spared the necessity of making the
request officially and formally flom the State de-
partment.
The Russian commanders al once m ade prepa-
ration to leave. 1t is mentioned as significant
fact in the same connection that although the
Grand Duke Alexis and Constantine and Admiral
Bankef attended the reception at ex-Gov. Nor
gan's house, they renamed but short time and
rather conspicuously took their departure before
the arrival of the President and his party.

Mention has already been made by your paper
Of the Sunday School Convention recently held in
our village. 1t was very interesting, and profit
able, because those features were introduced and
those points discussed which seem now especially
needed in this work. The esssyist did not gener-
alize as much as usual, but were right to the
point, and the discussions we're all ably conduct
cd. Among the principal features of these meet
ings was the question box, the questions being
answered BY Rev Smith Baker of Lowell
Some of them. however, approached the ludcrous.
For instance one question read thus "Why do

by outside parties to furnish lot and build q

Probably from lack of means the enterprise failed,

purpose, still remains idle. This forms rare
chance for out side parties.

money, on account of the capture of the Richmond
IN lS6f The suits were entered in the courts of
TINS district, claiming an aggregate of about 49,.
zoo 900 prize money, for the part taken by the

cluded in these suits were claims for bounty mon
ey for every man captured on the confederate tlo-
ula and batteries, and also bounty for all ships
and batteries destroyed by the coniederaes to pre-
vent their falling into the hands of the Union
forces. Prize money is also claimed for the cap
