The Telegraph brings sad story Of

The Telegraph brings sad story Of
poverty and suffering among ship
load of Irish people that were landed
at Montreal recently by a British stea-
mer. They were of class that the
Government is shipping abroad to get
rid of them-destitute, starving peo-
pie. There were 800 of them, and
they were accompanied by young
priest, to whom they looked for coun-
sci and assistance, as they were all in
an impecunious condition. Their APP
|pearance was indeed miserable in the
extreme-each poorly clad for this
climate, and great many without
shoes. They were mostly in families,
and seemed careworn and emaciated.
The condition of these suffering PEG.
lple is sad commentary on the British
rule to which their country has been
subject for SO many years. England's
treatment of Ireland is and has been
inhuman snd brutal in the extreme.
Britannia may boast that she needs
no bulwarks, nor towers along the
Steep" but all the towers and buIwarks
that were ever erected cannot shield
England from the just condemnation
of the civilized world for her treat
ment of Ireland.

FINE LAsDs.-To be impressed with
the vast possibilities of Wood River
Valley and its future development as
rich agricultural country, it is only
necessary to take look from the first
station south of town. There can be
seen vast level about ten miles wide
and extending down Wood River and
branching of on Silver creek, with
soil equal to any in California. This
can be supplied with water from the
river, and in few years will be the
most productive land in Idaho. It is
now an excellent range for stock. Vast
tracts of land on Silver creek are still
untaken, and grand opportunity
awaits those who go hither and take
up claims Chronicle.

w. Il. Waddle, who lives a short
distance east of Somerset, KY, reports
that an immense hole was discovered
few days since on his farm, and upon
examination it was found that a por-
ton of his woodland, about twenty
FIVE yards in circumference, had sunk
the day before to depth that could
not be seen from the top. The earth
around the hole for several feet, was
cracked, and the next day more of it
caved in. The spot of ground was
covered with trees, some of which
were thirty or forty feet high, and all
of which went down into the hole out
of sight. Persons who went to see
the place dropped some large rocks
down into the hole so as to get some
idea of it's depth, and it was several
seconds before the sound of the rocks
could be heard striking the bottom. A
singular fact of the case is that the
place is on top of hill which rises
about one hundred feet above the val
ley. The earth continues to cave in.

than 1880, sailing vessels took out
from the port of New York over 63,-

no doubt that $4,000 could be raised.
