LONDON, England, Oct. 10, 1880.
Once again the greater portion of En-
gland has been visited by storms of wind
and rain. which in many localities have
resulted in disastrous floods. The rain
full during the past week has been ex-
cessive, and low lying districts are for the
most part under water. The remnants OF
grain crops still outstanding must have
received great damage, and may now be
considered to be of no marketable value.
Threshing operations have been almost
entirely suspended, and further loss Of
condition has taken place in such stacks
as have been but partially protected from
the weather. There is now an active in
quiry for sound, dry, seed wheat, and the
supply of such samples is but small, most
of the offerings now to hand being more
or less out of condition. There has,
therefore. been a very decided improve
ment in the value of marketable English
wheats, while damp and inferior grain is
very difficult 10 sell at any price. The
position at present is favorable to i'm
provement in the values of all kinds OF
British grain. and the markets of the past
week have been decidedly in favor of
sellers. On Monday the trade was firm at
its close, and on Wednesday sellers were
firm in their demand for advanced rates.

Mr.. F. S. Peer. East Palmyra, N. Y,
has utilized an old stone carriage house for
a silo, and filled it with $50 tons of corn
fodder, grown and stored at an estimated
cost of 81 cents each, or less than $50 for
the lot. He soils stock all the year round,
and of this, and another point or two in
his practice, Rural Home says:
''For soiling cows and horses he makes
two sowings of rye in the fall, two or
three weeks apart, for first feeding in
spring. As early as possible in spring
sows barley, because it will terminate
and grow earlier than oa's and endure
more frost. and continues to SOW every
week until the rye is ready to cut.
Makes two cuttings of rye and then
plows and sows to corn. Makes one
cutting of barley and follows with a mix
ture of oats and peas, which he esteems
highly for soiling. Through the months
| of June and July soiled ten head of cattle
and three horses on three acres of land
Cut his fodder with reaper, and one mar
does the milking, soling, and all the Other
chores, and gets six hours day for tielt

Silas NJ. Waite is reported as lying in a
critical condition at the county Jail at
Newfane, with something like an attack
of pleurisy. He has a terrible cough, bis
lungs appear to be raw, and he has been
moved from his cell to the main room OF
the Jail. Mr.. Bowles, the jailer. said the
other day that he thought if he was not
moved from his present quarters be would
not live to meet his friends. His wife
was sent for Wednesday. He has always
been in the habit of walking eight or ten
miles day, and his present confinement
is terribly destructive to the health OF
such an uneasy spirit.

PARIS, France. Oct. IA. 80.

1ARlS, wv -
An amusing instance of premedItated'
but uuaccomplished, suicide occurred last
night on the Quai d'Oresay. A man,
sixty years of age. having become tired
of life. approached the river with the IN
teution of drowning himself. He took OIL
his clothes and threw them into the water
Then in perfectly mule state he cauu-
onslv entered the river. The GOODNESS OF
the water, however. when it reached hts
waist was more than he could bear. He
quickly regained the bank and gave up
all ideas of committing suicide. His
positiou was, however, AN unpleasant one,
As he had nothing on, and had thrown his
clothes away. He therefore ran into
neighboring tavern, borrowed some gar
ments and was duly handed over to the
com missary of police.
A strike has broken out in quarter
where one would least expect to hear oil
such an eventuality. Trade disputes
among cabinet makers, cotton splnners'
stonemasons. and even undertakers have
been heard of within the last few months
