There is no prospect of the arrest of the
Dublin assassins. Legislation for ireland
is going along with good speed in the
House Of Commons; measures for the re.
lief Of the tenantry and for suppressing
outrages with greater facility keeping even

Frost, a reformed inebriate and brother of
Rev. c. q. Frost, the Baptist clergyman
who lectured on temperance through Vor-

by c. T. Blake. singer, and those who
attended spoke in highly apprecistive
terms of the efforts made. Over two
hundred signatures have been secured on
the pledge, some Of them being what had
been considered "hard cases."

The supreme court of the district of Co.

overriding the exceptions in the Guteau
case. The only thing now in the way of
hanging Guiteau on the 30th of June is
the attempt of Mr.. Reed, who is now sole
counsel, for Guiteau to obtain a writ of
habeas corpus of the supreme court of the
United States. The latter court is not now
in session and its judges are authorized to
grant writs of habeas corpus within their

general OF Massachusetts considers the
work indecent and he has warned the
publishers to stop Il. So they have quit
the publication, and have sold out their
interest to the old poet. The old man has
written great deal of alleged poetry that
isn't poetry, but some Of his work strange
as it is is magnificent His poem on Lin
coin Is NOT what John G. SAKE once said
he had in certain poem endesvored to

unless the attorney general gives it a

LONDON, Eng. May 9, 'S2.
Never within the memory of the oldest
inhabitant of the present generation has
nature been so generous in her moods rs
during the past six months A winter of
unexampled mildness has been followed
by genial, fine spring, and, as natural
result, the face of the land presents a most
charming appearance. The heart of the
English husbandman is elated There is
abundance of grasp ia the pastures, and
the promise of an abundant harvest in the
corn fields. The period for sowing the
best crops proved comparatively dry and
most favorable fer all tillage operations;
but devoid Of that long continuance of
barren and blighting east winds, which in
the spring of 1881 caused vegetation to be
so backward, and food for stock to be so
scarce.
The only check to the beautiful unfold
ing of spring was slight one at the latter
part of March and during the early days
of April, when there were severe frosts at
night accompanied for short time by east
winds. The weather prophets, who had
predicted all along that We should be
repaid sooner or later for the exemption,
from cold in winter by frosts and snow
when it should be spring, thought that
their expectations were about to be real
lied; but, strange to say; the winds speed.
lily shifted to the genial south and brought
regular propitious April showers, altern-
ated with sunshine. The temperature
became sufficiently elevated for a fresh
start Of vegetation to be everywhere ex.
perienced, and the only evil inflicted by
he frosts of about month since appears
n the flag of some wheat plants having
been turned yellow. No great injury was
done in this respect, however, and seldom,
if ever, have the wheat fields through out
the c'untry presented so favorable an

fp"" hose far,n"r, who have been able

Nv vii lind tina, they have done right
) III, harvest prospects will soon begin TO
operate IN affecting the tone of the general
market, and, as these are taken to be in
locations of an early and abundant harvest
for English and continen tai wheat fields
there is probably little likelihood of wheat
getting up very much in price unless the
aspect of things in respect to harvest
prospects should greatly change.
The house OF commons was crowded
on Monday night, when Mr., Gladstone
make his annual financial statement; but
on this occasion it was by no means
sensational budget. With expenditure
increasing, and revenue, if not declining.
atleast, as Mr.. Gladstone himself admitted,
in sluggish stale, there was no opportu-
nifty for those brilliant feats of finance
which have in other years astonished, if
they have not always delighted the M ton.

DESTITUTE ENIGRANTS. The Rutland
Herald refers 10 the great numbers of
emigrants which pass through that place
just now. 1t seems that the steamers
from Europe to New York are so crowd.
ed with business that cmigrants are often
compelled to wait week or more for
passage. They arc many of them cry
destitute. The Troy Times says of those
who passed through that city the past
week; " Some were victims Of eyictions
in Ireland and many wore unable to
speak English. They arrived here some
times by the midnight train, and were
obliged to wait until the next evening
for the boat without anything TO cat
Several have said that they had nothing
to eat from the time of leaving the ship at

Some Ludlow gentlemen, who own
large quantities OF cord wood on the
mountain, are constructing novel ar
rangement for conveying it to the valley
below. 1t consists of spout about two
miles in length. through which water to
the depth Of from four to six inches is
permitted to run. This spout is large

teen hundred dollars.
JAIL DELIVERY AT ST.. There
was successful Jail delivery at St. Adams,
Thursday night, at about s o'clock. Two
men, Frost and Sabin, dug under the Jail
wall, coming out under the sidewalk on
the outside and making their escape. Frost
is Canadian desperate who has served
in the penitentiary there and was held at
st. Adams pending extradtion proceedings
for highway robbery and assault with
intent to kill. Sabin was imprisoned for
petit larceny. A third inmate did mol
avail himself of the chance for regaining
his liberty.
RAILWAY MATTERs.-The case of Hall
VS.. the Central Vermont railroad was
argued before Judges Blatchford and
Wheeler atIWiudsor. the 18th. The histo
~ of this case shows that some year oil
more ago the orator Hall, student in the
office OF f. A. Brooks, in Boston, became
the nominal possessor of few shares o.
the stock of the Central Vermont railroad
company. purchased from bankrupt
estate, aud brought this bill ostensibly TO
enforce his rights. The defendants claimed
that the stock was purchased for the sole
purpose of instituting vexatious litigation
On full hearing tho court ordered the
case dismissed, with costs to the orator
Hall.

Messrs. Parnell, Dillon and Kelly, the
three members of parliament who were
arrested and sent to prison under the
coercion act, have been set free, and, in
consequence Of the decision Of the govern.
ment, Mr.. Forster, chief secretary to the
lord lieutenant of Ireland, has resigned
his place in the counsels of the queen.
Although the storm was not OF Mr..
Ferster's making, he has been treated as
the Jonah of the cabinet, and thrown
overheard to Tighten the vessel of the
administration on the new tack. The
late chief secretary believed and still
believes that the time to release the sus.
