CAPTAIN Crawford Murdered.

The official report of Lieut.. Maus in re-
gard to the killing OF Capt. Crawford by
Mexican soldiers is published. He says:
A party OF Mexicans approached. and
Capt. Crawford and went out about fifty
yards from Our own position in the open
ing and we talked with them. They did
not stop moving. l told them in Spanish
that We were American soldiers, calling at
tention to our dress and said we would not
fire. They answered they would not fire,
but all the time moved toward Il hill a short
distance away, a little higher than our
position, with some scattering oakwood.
Capt. Crawford then ordered me TO GO back
and insure no more firing. l started back
when the volley was fred. OF course we all
sought shelter. / am sure they knew who
we were perfectly well all the time. Lieut..
Shipp ~i Mr.. Horn were also shouting at
anothertime, telling who we were and tha t all
was right. Mr.. Horn speaks Spanish very
we'll When l returned again saw the
captain lying on the rocks with a wound
on his head. and soine OF his brains were
upon the rocks. This hal all occurred in
two minutes. He was seen waving his
handkerchief when shot. Mr.. Horn was
slightly wounded at the same time in the
left arm. There can be no mistake; these
men knew they were firing at American
soldiers.

The Florida Orange Interests.

From the Savannah Morning News.
There doesn't appear to be any re
son to doubt the correctness of our
first reports respecting the damage to
the Florida orange interests from the
recent cold weather. About all hanging
oranges were frozen, and all nursery
trees and young trees in groves were
killed. The older trees escaped de-
struction, and in most cases were only
slightly injured. Those OF the egrowers
who succeeded in saving a part of
their crop in the packing houses were
fortunate, and will be benefited by
the very great rise that has taken
place in the price of Florida oranges
in the northern markets. 1t is prob
able that a larger percentage of the
crop was caught on the trees by the
cold wave than was at first reported.
Many growers were not satisfied with
the prices which oranges were COM
manding-only about $1.5O per box
net-and they were waiting for a rise.
1t would not be surprising, therefore,
if the loss approximated a half, rather
than q quarter, of the entire crop.

Bees found in tree belong to the
owner of the tree, and another person
acquires no ownership in them because
of marking the tree. Game found in
snarcs belongs to the owner of the land,
and not to the trespasser who may have
set the snares. A swarm of bees, leav-
ing their hive and setting upon the land
of another, are the property OF the orig
inal owner so long rs he can keep them
in sight, and thus establish their iden-
tity.
A great many find it hard work to

the legs are reddish-orange, while the
Aylesbury has bill of a delicate flesh

London Cable: The address Of John Nor
ley, the new chief secretary OF Ireland, to
his constituents at Newcastle was by far
the most important speech to come till Mr..
Gladstone introduces his home rule resolu-
tion in the commons. 1t was received
with enthusiasm, He began by an appeal
to his audience to reflect what . coercion
policy means.
'You will. he said, instantly have the
whole island honeycombed with secret soci-
eties. You will have midnight drillings.
The purposes OF the league will then be
changed to the more execrable purpose OF
dynamite. At the end OF all this black con-
fusion. Your last state will be worse than
your first. You will be driven then by the
force OF the opinion OF the whole civilized
world to try that policy Of conciliation
which We ask you to try now. Thegovern-
ment will not content themselves with the
old slovenly, shilly-shally policy OF hall
measures, but will at last grapple with the
problem in all it's difficulties, facing every
fact and making whatever sacrifice may be
necessary either OF our time, ourenergies or
our thought in order to put an end to a
state of things which has brought so much
wrong and sorrow to Ireland and so much
humiliation and danger to England.
= His concluding words, spoken amid
rounds of cheers, were:
-. All may fail; we may be short-lived
government; but hope, l am sure when l
think OF the nerve and humor OF the lead
er OF the ministry at this moment, that
weshall not be a weak nor wavering
government. A line will be fixed upon

not the man to leave it. He is not the
man to take q great work in hand and
then turn faint OF heart. And think he
will find that some OF his lieutenants are
