NEW YORK. December Il. MIR. Edward
Moran, a lawyer Of this city, who was en-
ployed by Patrick Ford, Of the irish
World, early In November 10 90 TO London
to ascertain why General Pryor, who had
previously been retained as counsel for
O'Donnell, had not become more prominent
in the case, makes a tong report. in
which he states that he found Gen.
eral Pryor had been unable to become
as thoroughly identified Herewith az he
tPryor) or his American clients desired by
reason OF the adverse feeling among the
people, although the English counsel were
willing that the General should appear in
the trial prominently. The report Is ac-
companied by copy OF all the correspon-
dence relating to General Pryor's appear
ance In the case, which shows that
in the opinion OF O'Donnelps friends
a strong prejudice had been Great
ed In England against Irshmen in
America, and their counsel. on account
OF their reported sympathy with and ap-
proval Of the recent attempts to blow up
the underground railroad trains In Lon
don. and that Their fore the appearance in
the case OF counsel who was supposed TO
represent this class would injure O'Don-
nell more than it would benefit him.

Suit Against GeaeraI Longstrect

BY telegraph 20 the Dispatch.
NEW YORK, December 21.-Thc Trades
mems National Bank has begun suit against
General James Longstreet, TO recover on
two promssory notes. The notes were
made by General Longstreet, in New Or
leans. in June, 1877, and made payable to
Bliss d Bennett. cotton-brokers OF this
city, at the Hibernian Bank Of New Or
leans. They amounted with interest 10 the
present time, to S4,523.27. The defence
claimed that the notes given by the de-
PENDANT in the transaction was OF the
nature Of wager and not q valid contrac'.
These transactions referred TO consisted
in the fictitious purchase and sale OF cotton
through the agency of Bliss d Bennett at
New Orleans at the order OF General Long
street. The notes were discounted by the
Trademens Bank and afterwards protested,
when they fell due, for non-payment.
Another defence was that action was barred
by the statute OF limitations. The case was
tried to-day in the Supreme Court and re-
suited in a verdict for the plaintiff. Gen
eral Rogeg A. Pryor was counsel for Gen
eral Longstreet.

economical feeding. On the other
hand. let the farmer raise large fields
of corn and oats. without ensilage, and
he will have in his coarse food and
ripcned grain good feed proportion
which is all-important and the
whole raised and utilized on the farm.
If there is loss in curing corn fodder
by drying, so also must there be some
waste in the silo.
From its nature ensiage cannot be
so safely kept over as hay or dry feed !;
fungi may creep in with harmful re-
suits; nor can this food become cash
article in trade, and differs unfavorably
in this respect from hay and mist
other products raised upon the farm.
This system also requires an addition
TO farm machinery for cutting the fod-
der, and is used but once year briefly,
while the interest on the same is con-
slant.
All these objections and others that
might easily be added are rated of lit lie
consequence-and perhaps justly
when compared with the great advan-
tages OF. this new system over the old !;
and yey few objections or draw
backs seem necessary as ballast while
sitting down to plan for a large silo.

Sheep Notes.

The extreme cold weather has pre-
vented considerable transactions in
stock sheep for the past two weeks,
and owners are not pressing sales.
The lambing season, now at hand in
many southern counties, will put a
stop to the sales of located f1Ocks until
the lambs are large enough to travel.
The trade in ranch property, with the
sheep on it, has been fair even during
the cold weather, and there is a show
ing of more confidence in the future of
the business than was anticipated.
: IerdS Wool GrOaOer.
Recent storms have caused the death
of many sheep in Texas. The Wool
GrOacer says: "Those flocks that
started into the winter fat and healthy.
and were provided with shelter and
plenty of hay or other good food, went
through the storm with comparatively
small loss. While those that started
into the winter in thin order, or not
free of disease, or were unprovided
with shelter and food, one or both, as
rule, suffered heavily. In some in
stances the loss was enormous, reach
ing as high as from twenty-five to even
fifty per cent, but loss of ten per
cent. among neglected and poor sheep,
was by no means uncommon"

ton.

Third: To prepare class of litera-

Fourth: To combine the teaching

Choral and Alcohol,

The Jury have found verdict in the
Pullman-car case which exactly con-
firms our remarks of last week. They
declare that DIR. Arthur was burned
while he was affected by "narcotic
stupor," that the fire was caused by
Mr.. Cranston's readiDg-lamp, and that
everything was done that could be
done by the officials. Precisely, except
watching the car. DIR. Arthur was
seen to be stupid by the attendant, yet
he was allowed TO light cigar; and
Mr.. Cranston's light was also per-
ceived, yet allowed to remain alight.
Aprop0s of this case, we should very
much like to know the meaning of the
moral distinction drawn between chic
raj and alcohol. The friends of DIR.
Arthur were shocked at the accusation
of drunkenness with wine, but were
content to hear of drunkenness with
chlorsl; and the coroner evidently
thought that in pressing the latter
view he was ''acting kindly TO the
family" Why? AS a matter of fact
DR.. Arthur had sunstroke in Ceylon,
and drank choral and beer to allay the
pain and tendency to excitement which
sunstroke tends to produce but suppose
he had taken alcohol for the same rea-
son? Thousands are drinking them
selves to death with chloral, as its mar
utacturers well know; and the idea that
the drug is more moral than alcohol has,
especially upon women, the most fatal
effects LOndOn Spectator.

THE SHEEP INTEREST.
Rutland County Breeders and the YER
mont Register.


The following communication recent
ly appeared in the Pouhney Journal:
There are some things connected with
the action of the Vermont Merino
Sheep Breeders association that need
explanation. Some thirty years ago
Milton G.. Barber had a fine buck, nam
ed Wrinkly. His blood pervaded
most of the flocks in the county 1t
would not be accepted in the Vermont
registry. The same blood found its
way into Addison county. Here the
blood was accepted and registered in
the Vermont registry. Rodney Bar
ber's flock of Sudbury were dcscen-
dants of Wrinkly; they could not get
in; they would not have drop of it in
the association. Fremont, jr., a
grandson of Wrinkly, was registered
1t now comes to light that many f1ocks
in Addison county have Wrinkly's
blood in them. Word now comes to
Rutland county that Wrinkly's stock
will be accepted in the registry. The
question now arises, will the associa-
ton accept other than pure Merino
blood? If they will, of what value is it !?
Would it not have appeared better TO
have discarded impure blood in Addi-
son county from the association than
accept from Rutland county blood they
have ever called impure, without any
new evidence. They have been in er-
ror. Certainly all association that can
afford to pay their secretary 81, 800 per
year should be honest to the com
munity. s.
Mr.. Leonard Fish of II a, one of the
prominent sheep men of Rutland coun-
ty, sends us the above and saws:
Editor Register and Journal
There are some members of the Rut-
land county Sheep Breeders union
who should learn one thing, aid that is
that one association never prospers
any better by picking flaws with
another. If the Vermont Merino
Sheep-Breeders' association thinks it
best TO give theil secretary 81, 800 per
annum, that is their business. | have
heard nothing, nor have | seen any
thing in print from Addison county
people against the Rutland county
Sheep-Breeders' union.

sheep for record that have been ac-
cepted, and some have been rejected; ;
and | think the committee acted fairly
and honestly in their judgment. 1
know the men, and they are men OF
. honor and good, sound judgment.
Now, would advise, for the good of
our union, that we find no fault with
the Vermont Sheep-Breeders' associ-
alton.
