Senators more freely of late and shown
more disposition to see things as they

\ great riot occurred in Toronto on
the evening of the 18th inst, occasioned
by O'Donnovan Rosa attempting to
lecture at st. Patrick's Hall. The mob
broke all the windows and furniture in
the building, and afterward almost COM

freely used.
The committee on banking and cur

Reports from various parts Of the
country show that the weather has been
quite cold for thsllast three days, and
that in some localities damage has been
done both TO the fruit and the wheat
The amount Of damage As yet reported
does not appear to be serious, but it Is
plain that a feeling Of anxiety prevails
"a 10 what may result from the
present spell Of cool weather. The
New England States, and also portions
Of the northwest, have been visited BY
cold rains, also by hail, and, here and
there, by slight falls Of snow, all Of which
have done more or less damage. There
is danger Of rust to the wheat, and we
have some few reports Of damage in this
way. Adyices from Washington q. H.,
Ohio, state that both hail and snow fell
in that vicinity, and so heavy have the
rains been that the wheat crop has been
much injured by The rust.
We observe 10 our New York financial
report that apprehensions Of frost were
made uss Of yesterday to depress the prices
Of Western railroads, particularly those
that are known "a the grain carriers, and
more particularly those that depend OF
thu wheat growing regions for business
Notwithstanding these approximations
however, there is no reason as yet to sup
pose that any great amount Of damage
has been done.

sherrard Clemens Rises TO Ex.
plain tIie Bell Punch.

81, Louis Times.
Mr.. sherrsrd Clemens exhibited 10 sey
eral members Of the Municipal Assem-.
bly, yesterday afternoon a model of thu
Moaett bell punch, as improved by Tuck
er's patent, so as 10 render tampering i'm
possible. In showing the operations Of
the punch Mr.. Clemens stated the origin
OF the punch, and in 4 general way de.
scribed what 1t had done for Virginia
when that State was on the verge OF re-
pudistion and bankruptcy. By the war
debt OF S23 100000 was fastened on that
State, and at time when the revenue
scarcely met the expenses Of the State
Government. DR.. Motlett, OF Rocking.
ham county, came TO the rescue OF The
commonwealth and presented the bell
punch. Il was adopted, and the frat year
produced q revenue Of million OF dol.
lars, and Il did this in such manner that
no burden OF taxation was felt.
The creation Of revenue by putting a
tax upon the appetites and baSer desires
was something which all good citizens
must approve Of. The people Of St.
Louis were grunbling loudly at the In
crease Of assessments, and yet II Il was
necessary 10 increase the revenue this
seemed the only way 10 do II, for the
limit OF taxation was fixed. Both taxes
and assessments were high enough, Mr..
Clemens argued. The desire OF the Gov.
eminent should be rather 10 enhance the
value Of property by reducing the taxa
tion. This might be done easily by the
introduction Of the bell-punch and put.
ting tax oi,two cents on each alcoholic
drink and half cent on beer. Taking
the number OF saloons In tho city, and
allowing 10 each only twenty-five drinks
a day, u rfdiculously low average, Mr..
Clemens showed that the bell-punch
would bring over 81 ,00O,0 600 revenue into
the city treasury in a year. He believed
that the revenue raised BY the bell. puneh
would not fall short Of 100000.
Asto opposition Mr.. Clemens expressed
the opinion that there would be none, I'm.
less It waa from the bar.keepers who had
TO turn the crank, and he thought only
the dishonest ones OF this class would OBJ.
ject. The saloon.keepers would favor II
because 1t showed just how many drinks
had been sold and put 4 stop 10 dead
beat and credit customers.
Remarklng that there was everything
to be said In favor Of the innovation and
nothing against II, Mr.. Clemens showed
the workings OF the machine, and the
members turned the crank and discussed
the Continuance until they were tired.
Inc impression seemed to be a very favor.
