State OF Ohio VS.. Leroy heed. In
dictment for assault and battery upon
Edgar Meacham. Plea guilty. Ed
gar Meacham was sworn, and testified
that he was going across the street
from Washam's corner to Sternber-
gers corner, and when near the latter
place, some one struck him in the face,
and the next thing he remembered, he
was in sternberger's store. He was
injured in three places in the face, and
his shoulder was hurt. David Davis,
attorney for Reed, stated to the Court
that Reed had already been in Jail 35
days, for another assault and battery;
that he had removed to the country,
and had wife and five children to
support; that he was sorry for what
he had done, &c. The Court remarked
that the fact that defendant had been
imprisoned for another assault and
battery, was an aggravation, showing
that he was in the habit of commit
ting assault and battery. Taking all
the circumstances into consideration.
defendant would be ordered to paw a
fine of $25 and costs, and to stand
committed until fine and costs be paid
The Court further remarked that from
his acquaintance with Reed, he knew
that he would have no trouble if he
would let whisky alone, and that the

 DUBLIN, Feb 8.-At the meeting of the Land League to-day it was resolved to take the governments action as a challenge of war and to oppose it by declining to pay any rent whatsoever. The League also agreed to ask Parnen to leave directly for America. the ob- ject being to place the leader of the Home Rulers out of the governments clutches, as it is supposed that the retrospective clause in the coercion bill is designed to seize Messrs. Parnell, Dillon and other members of the League.

 The House Committee on Foreign Affairs

The report reviews critically and at length the entire question and quotes from many authorities. It con- cludes as follows:
 Your committee therefore, as an affirmation of the Monroe doctrine, believe that Ameri- cans must rule America, and that as a notice to all the world that the United States, cher ishinp friendly spirit to all nations, will ad- here to strict neutrality in all transatlantic affairs, and expect like non-interference in all American affairs, whether in the northern or southern western hemisphere, recommend the adoption of the following resolutions:
 That the establishment of any form of protectorate by any one of the powers of Europe over any of the independent States of this continent, or the introduction from any quarter of 8 scheme policy which would carry with it right to any European power to interfere with their concerns, or to control in any other manner their destiny or the transfer to any such power by conquest, cession or acquisition in any other way of any of those States or any portion thereof, is a measure to which this government is op- posed, and which, should the attempt be made, it will regard and treat as dangerous to our peace, prosperity and safety. That the construction of any public | works connecting the waters of the Atlantic l and Pacific by any European government or power, whether the same be constructed at i Panama or elsewhere, would be in violation | of the spirit and letter of the Monroe doc l ;rine and could not be sanctioned by the | government of the United States. That l should 8 canal be constructed across the | [sthmus of Panama or elsewhere this gov | ,rnment will insist that it shall not be under | he control of any European government or | bower; that it shall be free to the commerce | ,f the world upon equal terms, and that no | shall ever be made against the | United States inl peace or war. That the President be requested to take the steps neces- ary and proper for the abrogation of any xisting treaties whose terms are in conflict with the declaration of principle.

Fall of Depot ROO<Narrosv- Escape
 From a Frightful Disaster.
 BUFFALO, Feb. s.-A frightful accident oc- cured here this morning at the depot of the New York Central and Hudson River railroad, resulting in the death of several persons ands the almost miraculous escape of many others The roof of the depot fell in, crushing every thing beneath it. The victims of the catastrophe are Henry Waters, private secretary to General Superintendent Til linghast; John Burns, Engineer Wells, clerk to the master mechanic, an unknown man, whose skull was crushed The bodies were removed soon after. the accident. It is thought other bodies will be found beneath the debris The passengers sitting in the Lake Shore train, which was buried beneath the roof, were not injured Had the roof fallen ten minutes earlier when several trains were preparing to leave the depot, the loss of life would have been enormous. The acci- dent is due to very weak structure and the heavy volume of snow on the roof, which be- came very heavy in consequence of the re- cent thaw.

Carlyle's Dyspepsia.


 Carlyle has himself told us how he con- tracted that dyspepsia which may almost be said to have furnished the inspiration of much that he wrote. It having been in tended that he should be minister of the Scottish kirk, he shut himself up in his room for the purpose of discovering whether or not he believed the doctrines of the kirk. There he remained for weeks in state of agitation so great that he declares himself unable to determine whether or not he ate or slept He came out of this C retreat" as h e says. '' with direful persuasion that was the miserable owner of diabolical arrange ment called a stomach" He must be dull reader of Carlyle who does not discover that this wretched consciousness of his stomach remained with him throughout life and gave direction to much of his philosophy. He had rejected the Scottish theology of his youth and had accepted chronic indigestion in stead, and the last state of that man was worse than the first as respects gloominess of view and tendency to pessimism.

The FIoOds-Many Persons Known to
 Have Been Drowned.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 8.-Dispatches from points in central and northern parts of the State say that the rain which began on Tues day night was not heavy. There will be no danger of further overflow in the Sacramento or San Joaquin valleys, unless warm rain falls on the high SisEras. where there is an immense deposit of snow. The worst is thought to be over. Many steamers are ply ing over the submerged plains, taking of people and stock. The latter had congre- gated on levees, knolls and in barns, even in some instances standing in shallow water. The stock was comparatively safe until Sun- day, when the wash became dangerous. AS yet but few cases of loss of human life are reported; but accounts are coming in of cases here and there in the overfowed sec- tions where people were drowned, and the aggregate, when known, will be considera- ble. There has been no communication with the northern seacoast counties for two weeks

On returning home, ia company with his son and a gentleman friend, they were overtaken by very severe wind storm. Few words passed between them on the way. Arriving at the Glover homestead at II o'clock in the evening, young Glover asked his father to get out of the sleigh and let him put the team away. Receiving no response, he went to his father and found him cold and stiff. The old man had perished with the cold. He was sitting upright in the sleigh with the reins in his hands. The team had traversed the roads in that vicinity so many years that they required no driver.

THE YANKEE IDEA.

Some of the cities of the State of Mas
sachusetts have just passed through an
other campaign upon the question of
prohibition.
No State in the union, probably, has
more frequently and more thoroughly
discussed the liquor question than Mas
sachusetts. The contest in some of the
cities this year, was made in connection
with the municipal elections.
Ofthe six cities which held municipal
elections, four, Boston, Lowell, WOrces-
ter, and Salem voted in favor of license,
and two, Lynn and Newburyp0rt, voted
against license. Of the cities which
held elections, eight voted in favor of Ii
cense and six against, so that twelve of
the twenty cities which voted upon the
question Endorsed the license system,
while eight voted aguinst it. In most
OF those cities which have voted in IA
vOr of license, the ruling idea has been
that under the circumstances it would
be better to continue and enforce the
license system than to grant no licenses.
One of the cities which voted in favor
of license, Salem, had no licenses last
year, and the Salem Gazette says that
probably at no time within the past ten
years have there been so many grog
shops in Salem as there are to-day.
The same result has followed prohib-
itOry legislation throughout that State,
according to the statistics furnished.
For instance, a prohibitOry law was in
force from 1870 to 1874 inclusive, and
the number of convictions for drunken
ness was as follows: In 1870, 1880; in
1871, 20,5S1; in 1872, 23,SS9; in 1873,
24,lO6; in 1874, 2, 94S; in 1875, 4,199.
In 1876 the present license law was
passed, and for four years the cOnvic-
tons for drunkenness were as follows:
In 1876, 1854; in 1877, 1885; in 1878,
IL ISL; and in 1889, 1850.
The position which the friends of tenn
perance took in the campaign was that
prohibition, so far as it is enforced, SIM
ply drives out the use of mild and bulky
beverages, and drives the liqnor traffic
into secret places. The effect is more
drunkenness and worse results on ac-
| count of the deterioration of the quality
of liquors consumed. Therefore, the
friends Of temperance voted for license.
