A GRAND ELECTRIC STORM An cleo
trio storm prevailed pretty generally
throughout the country Friday, and
ut night the auroral lllshings were
most brilliant and phenomenal At times
the whole visible sky, except perhaps the
extcme southern portion, seemed covered
with the long pencils and sheets of light,
meeting little beyond the zenith. The
storm broke over the heavens again in the
early morning. and is described as grandy
magnificent.
Telegraph wires we're rendered useless
at intervals during this storm Of electricity.
Al Chicago Il telegraph switch board was
set on ti,c several times by the s.orm.
Half dozen KEYS OF the instrument were
melted by the current. Dupcx and

useless. Word WAS received from Mil.

coming on one wire from the country had
such dynamic power ~ to keep an electric

Telegraph company at Washington say
that the magnetic interference was the
greatest on the east and west lines, but ii
was found that by using the wire for the
return current, instead of the earth, ana
thus making metallic circuit throughout
most of the trouble was avoided. This
clearly indicates that the proXmete source
of the disturbance was the earth and not
the atmosphere, although it is in II.

The terms of the compromise of the

The first mortgage of the Vermont Cen
trail is SO, 000,0 900, and the second mortgage
81 100000. The trust Indebtedness of the

LONDON, Eng, Nov. 4, '82.
Tho agricultural returns of Great Britain
for 1882 were published on Thursday as a
parliamentary paper, and it appears that
there have been obtained from 552 900
occupiers of land, and from 1858 owners
of live stock only, showing an increase
(the whole of which is in England and
Wales) of about 1000 occupiers of land
and 90 owners of stock. The total duan-
tity of land returned in 1882, as under all
kinds of crops, bare fallow, and grass,
amounts to 32,3l3,000 acres as compared
with 80, Oil 900 acres in 1881. The whole
of this Incl ease is In England and Wales,
Scotland showing a smaller cultivated
area than last year, there being several
instances of decrease caused by the con-
version of sheep runs into deer forests in
the colnties of Cithness, Ross and Luth-
erland. Taking the figures for the whole
of the united kingdom, including the Isle
of Man and Channel islands, the variat ions
from the returns of last year are not very
important rs regards the total cultivated
area. Corn and green crops and rotation
grasses have a less acreage, but permanent
pasture shows IN important increase,
mainly due to the English and Welsh
returns.

TIE GARFIELDS.-Mrs Lucrctia Il.
Garfield, wife ofthe late president, is living
quietly with her children and his mother
in Cleveland. She spent good deal OF
the time during the summer out on the
Mentor farm, which her husband lovcl SO
we'll, and which was in his lifetime such
a place of political pilgrimage. Elder Zeh
Rudolph, one Of the founders of the Disci.
pie church, is living on the farm. Th re
have been some slight improvements
The porch, which ran across the south and
part OF the west ends Of the mansion, has
been extended clear across the east end
the past summer. The wires which ran
into the little Office and library building,
little to the rear and west end of the
house, have been removed.
On bright Saturdays Mrs. Garfield and
the children run down to Mentor and
remain until Monday. She still takes
great deal of interest in matters there,
and neighbor5 say that her whole desire
seems to be to do everything Just rs the
general intended.
1t will be remembered that it was
announced some time since that Mrs.
Garfield would in due time publish the
authorized edition of her husbands works.
Pres lent IInslac, at that time of fIirnm

public schools of Cleveland, was selected

There is no little i'll feeling lust now
between Spain and England, and the
proud Spaniards appear disposed to graft
fy their spleen by excluding British goods
from Spain by means Of tariffs which will
effectualy stop our manufacturers from
sending their goods to Spain. There is an
old hOmely saying that you should not
injure your nose to be revenged of your
face" But this is very much like what
the Spaniards are about to do. 1t happens
that we spend about five pounds for Span
ish goods, while they take about one
pounds worth of our manufactures. Now,
there is not doubt that if the spanish
wine merchants could send their light
wines here at 4 low duty, an enormous
increase of that branch of trade could be
done; but, if out of sheer pctulance, our
manufactures are to be XII ked ont of the
Spanish market, we shall not be likely TO
favor Spanish wines; so that the vine
growers and wine producers of France,
Hungary, and Germany will have it all
their own way, rs they have done for
some time past.
