DESTRUCTION OF FoRESTS.--Thew whole
of Pennsylvania is suffering from the
rapid destruction Of forest trees, and the
evil effects Of this practice are varied
and far extended. S. p. Eby, OF Lam
caster, read before the Lancaster Coun-
~ Agricultural Society paper in which
he said that the destruction OF forests in
Pennsylvania had produces! the follow
ing effects: First, the variations in
temperature Of heat and cold have be
come more sudden and intense; second,
the summers are more dry and the win
tiers more changeable, with less snow ;
third, the fow Of our larger springs has
decreased in volume, while many Of the
smaller ones have disappeared altogcih-
CT, consequently wells have to be deep
ened and water power replaced during
dry seasons with steam; fouith, our
rivers and streams are no longer rs reg
ular in their flow, but rise higher and
more suddenly after heavy rains and be-
como lower in dry seasons; fifth, winds
sweep with greater force, that We have
fewer local rains during the hot seasons
and more frequent hail storms sixth.
we have no longer the fine fruit-bcaring
orchards our ancestors had forty year:
ago.

Continuation Of Evidence For the
Defense.

WASHINGTON, D. c., November25.--
Shortly before the advent Of Judge
Cox this morning the Criminal Court
room presented the appearance OF q
we'll filled theatre upon opening
night, the audience filling every nook
and corner of the room, and was
mainly composed of ladies', and for
the most part representing the
most fashionable circles Of Washing
ton society. There was the usual
noise of rushing aud crowding upon
the outside of the building, but only
favorite ones, who held passes or
were accompanied by or especially
invited by some one of the coU t
officers were enabled to gain admis-
sion.
The hum of feminine voices was
almost deafening, when Marshal
Henry raped to order and al,
nounced that all demonstrations oil
noisy character must be repressed,
or the court room would be cleared.
| This admonition was repeated by
Judge Cox.

Cotton was in good demand at

the market has been quiet since
Monday, and the advance was gen

fam request; prices advanced 1-16d
to Id early in the week; ordinary
and good ordinary Texas and Or,
leans retained 1-16i of the advance,
bat current grades generally declined

in good demand and firm. Futures
opened strong, but after many fuc~
tuations a decline OF 5-32d was es-
tablshed.

The witness did not respond, how
THE BEAST.

Guiteau, who was greatly excited,
here broke in again, and shouted, so
as to be distinctly heard in every
part of the court room, "There is
another matter that I want to speak
aboUt right now. I understand my
divorced wife is to be brought here
as witness against me. If that is
SO, there will be trouble. She was
poor, unfortunate thing, and l never
should have married her; but if she
comes to testify against me and do
me any harm I'll show up her whole
record. She was seduced in Phila-
delphia, and had a child before I
married her
With great difficulty Scoville, after
some minutes of expostulation, sue
ceeded in quieting Guiteau, who, for
the next fifteen minutes, devoted
himself to his newspapers.
Two other witnesses were called,
but failed to respond.
Joseph B. Smith, OF Freeporf, Ill,
then testified as to his acquaintance
with the Guiteau family.
Chas. Reed, of Chicago, the next
witness, testified to Gliteaus actions
while practicing law in Chicago, cons
firming some of the statements made
by Scoville and contradicting others,
notably the facts of Gulteaus ad-
mission to the bar. He had an in
tervIew with the prisoner at the
Riggs House last summer, In which
he was asked the loan OF fifteen dol
lars. His appearance at that time
was harrassed and peculiar. He also
saw him at the Jail after the shooting
and concluded he was "otf his bal-
ance."
Harmon Omeiling, of Williams
pcrt, Pa, a lawyer, spoke of the
peculiarities of Guiteau's father, as
did the next witness, Thos. North,
Of Freeport, Ills, who said further
that the prisoner was an exaggerated
copy Of his father in physical ap-
pearance and mental peculiarities.
SEVERAL VIOLENT ITERRuPT1oNs
were made by Guiteau during the
day, at one time calling forth stern
threat from the court Of gaggins
him, which, apparently, had little
effect. Senators Logan, Emory,
Storrs and other witnesses failed to
respond, and Scoville said he should
ask for attachments against Storrs,
/ to compel his attendance.

come. JOSEPH HARRIS"
