Territories of the United States exist
here. 1 have seen one COW roaming at
large in ali my travelling since | left
Utah. Stock IS pastured and stall fed
In Europe and the result is that the cost
OF raising is infinitely greater and while
il is true the nrice obtained; is nothing
like largr it Is nonesthe less true ths t
the profits are infinitely smaller. As
before stated, there has been a steady
decline in the value ST all farm produce
in the period named while in that of
cattle IL has been 95 OF $25 per head.
Notwithstanding the amount of talk
that has been INDUCED in about the
Boycotting of cattle dealers and the
trouble that has been caused over the
transportation of the beef TO England
because of the opposition or alleged
opposition of Parnellites-neverthele
there was no rise in the value of cattle
notwithstanding the cry Of the injury
this opposition was working on the
market. On the contrary. there are
now persons who declare and that with
good ,asOn, that the whole cry was a
mercenary one and that il was gotten
up bybuyeTs for the purpose OF bringing
down the purchasing price and beat
ing the COR farmer, which they sut :
ceeded in doing. During the week of
the greatest excitement consequent
upon the alleged BOycotting at Cork,
the market value of cattle suffered a
decline III valne of 81 so per head. The
result has been that there is no longer
any profit in the raising of cattle in
ireland and it is being given up. This
is said to be due largely to the introduce
ton of American meat and the compe-
titiOn resulting; and though the home
! Il -. -,
not stand az ainst the lesser prices tina I
the imported article can be bought for,
Land that has therefore been used for
pasturage for many years is now about
to broken up for the raising of cereals
again. The farmer IN Ireland, while
there was lettering of his condition
for many years after recovering from
the dreadful famine OF 1861, when
the potato crop failed) is steadily losing
ground and is looking forward to the
future with fear and apprehension
There is little that he can make and
little to hope for.
A peculiar trial for bigamy has just
been concluded in London. A man
named Malcolm was tired in the old
Bailey twice and has been convicted and
sentenced TO the full penalty of the law.
In the first trial there was the most alb
solute and direct conflict of testimony
ina Unable. the second wife swearing,
together with friends, that the man who
appeared now under a different name
had married her at a given period,
whereas the first wife and others sWore
in the most positive manner that at the
time of the alleged marriage the indi
vidual under trial was not away from
home and that it was a moral as well
as physical lmpossibility for him to
have been the individual who wooed
and won the fair Miss Dash and had,
shortly after the marriage deserted her.
So positive was the testimony on both
sides, so unimpregnable and the charac-
ter OF the witnesses SO far removed
from suspicion. that the affair attracted
the widest attention and it was looked
upon by many as one of the strangest,
if not the most singular, cases of mis-
taken identity on record. The jury
could not agree, the proof being equally
strong on either side and they we're dis
charged. A second trial which has Just
been concluded has resulted in the con-
viction of the accused which has de-
veloped one of the most willful and
heartless cases of bigamy on record. the
upshot of which is that Malcolm was
awarded the full penalty which the law
auowed-seven years penal seryitude.
