The Funding Bill.

The Funding Bill, as passed by the
House of Representatives on Wednesday,
by vote of 1876 to 125, provides for a
three per cent. bond to the amount Of not
exceeding $4OOOOO,OO0, to run five years
and be made payable in ten years, with
S300,000,000 certificates, bearing three
per cent. interest likewise, and redeema,
BILE at the pleasure of the United States in
one or ten years. The commissions on the
operations of the treasury are not to be in
excess of one-fourth of one per cent. The
new three per cent. bonds authorized by
this proposed act are to be the only secu
rites, after May l, 1881, receivable az
security for national bank circulation, but
provision is made for the substitution Of
other issues of United States bonds by the
banks when the bonds of this series have
been called in for redemption.
The bill now goes to the Senate, where
it is thought it will be amended so as to
make the bonds bear three and half pei
cent, or run for longer period.

1t is said when the thermometer registers
10 degrees below zero, the young wood on the
peach trees freezes and the buds are killed.
As the mercury has been II degrees below
zero here this winter, the peach crop should
be down to zero next summer. 1t will be sad
to have no peaches this year.-Easton ibid. }
Star.
We doubt that there ever was degree
of cold experienced in this latitude severe
enough to kill the peach buds or any other
fruit buds, unless the sap had been previ,
ously started by mild weather. This an.
nual chatter about the killing Of the peach
buds and the failure of the peach crop
provokes only smile 1t has happened
in some seasons, that two or three weeks
of warm, sunny weather in the latter part
of January or in February, has started the
sap, then sudden cold spell will damage
the fruit buds, but there is no danger tc
the fruit from cold unless it occurs in this
way. We have had no weather Of the
kind, so far, this season and if the buds
are not subsequently injured in the way
before mentioned, the crop will be unin-
iured. We have lived for years in the
midst of peach orchards, have been close
observer of these things, and have often
witnessed an abundant crop after the most
positive predictions of failure. We never
knew of but one total failure of the peach
crop, and that happened in just the way
we have described. Little can be known
of tho true condition of the peach crop
until the fruit is done falling, in June.
Earlier predictions and opinions are of lit
tla worth

A Terrific Storm in Great Britain,

A London dispatch of the 10Th inst, says:
The river Thames has overlooked its banks,
causing much damage in the low-lying parts
of Lambeth and Southwark Over hundred
barges have sunk on the Thames, and the
Woolwich pier has been washed away. The
damage by the flood in the Thames is estlma-
ted at 1000, 600. In London street traffic
is paralyzed, the snow drifts i'll some places
being five feet high.
Numerous wrecks, attended with loss Of
life, are reported around the coast. On the
east coast the storm is violent that 1t is I'M
possible in several instances to help the ship
wrecked crews. The severe weather contln-
ues, but the gale and snowstorm have abated.
The safety is announced of the crew OF the
lifeboat which was capsized Tuesday in at
temptingto 90 to the rescue of the crews OF the
vessels ashore outside Of Harwich harbor.
| The terrific gale and snowst0rm Tuesday
ragged over nearly the whole of the United
| Kingdom, causing great damage to property
| end involving tbs loss of several lives.
| 1t again commenced showing at 7. Nj.
! Renorts from all parts Of the country indicate
! that the storm is the severest within the mem
! ory of living persons. Railway traffic and
! telegraphc Communication are almost com
pletely suspended throughout the kingdom,
! and the interruption has extended to the con-
| tinent. Several vessels are ashore at ar
mouth and it is feared that fifty persons have
| been drowned there.
The Norwegian bark Italia, last reported
at Falmouth, from New York, has gone
ashore at Harwick having lost both Of her
anchors. ,o,
| Seventeen vessels are ashore near Cardiff,
and it is feared they may go to pieces. Some
! of the crews have LEFT the vessels.
| The Admiralty pier and other portions OF
the sea front at Dover have been severely
damaged by the high sea and furious gale.
| Further accounts Of the great snowstorm In
England confirm the previous reports Of its
extent and severity. Railway trains are bu-
ried ip snnwdrifts Shipping piers are wreck
ed. Persons lost thce lives by freezing and
drowning, and many vessels wege lest. The

Gen. Hancock was a 'badly beaten candl-

This phrase is conspicuously inaccurate.
No defeated candidate for President ever
came nearer being elected than Gen. Han
cock did. A few thousand more votes in the
city of New York would have made him
President; and these he would have had and,
more, but fore John Kellys treachery.-N.
