whose perfectly irresponsible correspondents
are allowed to assal private character in the
most reckless and brutal fashion. Shame on
such papers and the public that gives them
the encouragement Of its support! AS the
Cleveland Plain Dealer well says, "il is time
that the line was drawn between newspapers
that publish reliable news and those that print
sensational lies between honorable newspa-
pers that defend the right and attack The
wrong, and those that, for the sake OF noto-
ricty, assail the regulations and aspersc The
charac ers of respectable and honorable
men," The verdict in the libel case OF which
we have spoken draws this line pretty dis
tinctly, and it ought also TO serve as a warn
ing for journalistic offenders.

Damage by the FrcslIct

The high water is making considerable
trouble at Swauton. Saturday one OF the
piers Of the covered bridge was washed
away and another appears to be going to
pieces. People are still crossing, though
forbidden by the town authorities. Capt. r.
5. Hawlcy has the contract to replace the
pier which was carried away. As the cur
rent is very swift and strong, it will be
quite difficult undertaking.
The damage to the dam is so great that it is
thought new one will be Necessary. A
meeting of those interested will be held thi
(Tuesday) evening, 10 discuss the situation
and take some action. A new dam it is es-
timated will cost from seven to ten thousand
dollars. The old structure was built over a
hundred years ago.
Mrs. c. L. Billiard died Saturday of can

According to English trade papers the i'm
portalion Of American manufactures into
Australia though small as yet, is rapidly in
creasng. The Australians prefer certain
kinds of American goods to English goods
because they are of better quality, more
neatly finished, are made without any super
iluous material, are packed better for ship
ping, ard are made with especial reference
TO The market for which they are intended
English manufacturers are more conserva
tive and cling TO the old ways and traditions
even when their customers demand some
thing new. Shovels, axes picks, and al
kinds of edge tools purchased in this country
are said to excel the same classes of Englisl
goods.

The tide Of immigration has set in early
and strongly this season. The total imml-
grafton Of last year was vast, but the indici-
tons art that 1888 will exceed it. On Sun
day there arrived at New York alone 44G0
immigrants. and $50 were landed at Boston.
OF this latter nsallment the majority were
of the very poorest class of Irish people and
it is said that they were exported by the
British Government, and ut its expense. The
greater part are families, some Of which
number eight or ten members, while the av-
eragc is about five. The agent of the Gov
eminent furnished money to those who de-
sired TO 20 to places Beyond Boston, the
amount depending upon the size of the fami-
ly. some receiving II few shillings, Others 90,
60, - or 60. \ great many of the men
were farmers, but do not know where TO 80
or what to do 1t is probable that many of
these immigrants will hang around the cit
les and become dependent upon public char
ity. The coming Of these hocks of immi-
grants from Europe TO this country is doubt
less Il great benefit to them, but i, is not such
an unadulterated blessing to the United
States, where the newcomers are paupers, Or
the next thing to it.

Aud leaf - trees, and stricken flowers beneath;
No insect mirih, no voice OF melody,
And all things whisper desoation, death.

All in dead white, fits like weary ghost;
But all the singing birds have fled away
Like summer friends-gone, when we need them
most.
And voices come to US from far and near
OF dire disease, calamity and crime,
To waken in the heart full many fear,
And make with outward life mourniul rhyme.
