wen the IIopor,

At the skating rink last night the
tournament proved a lively attraction.
An unusually large crowd of ladies
and gentlemen we're in attendance, and
the contest was spirited and exciting
while the exercise proved exhilara-
ting. After a brisk period Of action
Mr.. George b. Bowling, a graceful
and nimble- footed young gentleman Of
perhaps seventeen or eighteen years,
carried Of the prize, amid cheers aud
congratulations. The medal is Of gold,
is handsomely engraved with skates
and other devices, and is worth about
fifty dollars. DIR. Bowling naturally
feels proud Of his victory.

While the discussion was going on we heard
the agriculturist say: Well, brought a load
OF cotton and a load of hams to
town last week, and got very
nearly double as much for the
hams as did for the cotton We had not
paid much attention TO the conversation. but
that remark challenged our attention and like
the merchant, we were little increduous:
but when our friend went on to say that there
was about .2C0 pounds of cotton and a little
more or the hams. and that his cotton brought
only SIX and quarter cents. while the hams
brought over eleven cents per pound we saw
that he was right. Now, then, think of IT, a
man tolls all the year round to make cotton

bacon. True, our hogs are liable to disease

advances beyond making them secure.
Mr.. Gladstone concluded by saying that
justice Is to be the principle to guide Eug-
land In regard to Ireland. He completed
his speech at s o'clock, and was greeted
with loud cheers on taking his seat.
Sir Stafford Northcote and Mr.. Shaw.
member for Cork county, stated that they
did not intend to discuss the bill now. Mr..
Shaw said he believed the latter part
of the bill would give gen
eral satisfaction. He hoped this
attempt, which he believed was made hon
estly and sincerely to settle the question,
would be accepted in Ireland as having been
made in that spirit.
Mr.. Parnell said he did not intend
to express an opinion on the bill at present,
but regretted that the power as to emigra-
tlon was not accompanied by others en-
abling the Land Commission to favor emf
grafton to lands that might be purchased
for that purpose.
Mr.. Forster took occasion to state that
the government would be prepared to make
advances to tenants for purchases, per-

Gladstone omitted In his speech.

MICANoPY, FLA, April 2--EditOr Morning
Netcs: In the interval since my last. we have
been visited with very severe weather The
heavy rains and extraordinary high winds
that have prevailed for the last four days
have prevented the writer from gath
ering items. The seasons in our lovely
Land of Flowers and Orange Groves have
changed very much in the past few years. The
late cold snap has caused the vegetable grow
ers to wear long faces. The severe cold has in
jured the vegetables to great extent, more es-
pec:alIy the bean crop, which in some localities
has been killed entirely but from what can
learn the main crop-tomatoes-is not hurt as
badly as was at first thought. Nevertheless.
our farmers are not at all discouraged, Some
of them are now preparing to plant corn
where they had beans. This, think, is very
wise idea for, while nearly all of them had given
their attention to vegetable growing, only a
very few had planted provision crop. Corn
is now selling for 81 10 per bushel, and. as
only very little was made in the country last
wear the farmers are compelled to buy West
ern corn from the merchant; but, from all ap-
appearances, there will be plenty made st
home this year. A rev beans tnat Wefe plant
ed very early are now being shipped to mar
ket. ,.,..4.
the railroad Our enterprising fellow citizen,
.fa L
hoat aud is now receiving the machinery to
nIit in it, after which it will be placed upon the
nIacid waters of Paines Prairie. ! am in
Sormed that there is a tram-road being built
on the side next to Gainesville, to connect
with Me- Yulee's road, which is Y cry convent
ent for our community. The Junctlon WIN
the Palatka Road viii be within seven miles OF
us. so taking everything into consideration we
should be a very happy people.
The health of the country was never known
to be better thanit is now. We have excellent
water and everything else accordingly. Wou q
advise ali who wish to locate in this region to
visit Nieanopy and take look st our rleh
hammock land. 1t would pay the capltailsC 70
