ties-The Miscreant Caught.
While the chamber of deputies was
in session a bomb was thrown from
one of the galleries and exploded with
n double report in the midst of the
lawmakers. A scene of terrible eX-
element followed. The crowds in the
galleries were seized with panic and
through binding smoke and dust
fought tiercely to escape from the
building. The police, however, with
great promptness had closed every
exit to the streets and instituted at
once the most searching investigation
for the criminals. Both in the CALLER
les and on the floor of the chant Der
many persons, including women, were
hurt more or less seriously, but so far
as is known only one was fatally
wounded. The deputies displayed
great GOODNESS, and their president, NJ.

continue their discussions with calm
ness His remarks were loudly cheered
and partial order was restored.

200 persons, but after day of great

custody. The miScreant is named
Marchal. He is an anarchist and has
made full confession.

injured persons taken to the Hotel
Dieu, the largest hospital of the north
side of the Place du Parvis, Notre
Dame. He soon fell under the suspic-
ion of the authorities, and pressed by
the perfect of police, he decided TO
make a full confession and did so,
glorying in his dastardly crime, and
said the bomb was aimed at President
Dupuy.

MichIgan Crnn Report.

The reports this month, with rare
exception, show that while wheat has
made small growth, the plant, Decem-
Der /, was in fairly healthy condition.
The small growth is due TO late sowing
and dry weather. For the southern
counties, the average condition is re-
ported at 81 per cent; for the central,
50 per cent; and for the northern, 96
per cent, comparison being with vital
ity and growth of average years. The
corresponding figures one year ago
were So, % and %. The presence OF
insects is noted by few correspond
ents, but the injury done by them, if
any, is hardly perceptible. The ground
has been well covered with snow since
the 2d of December. Pasture this fall
has not been good, particularly in the
southern counties; and the condition
of live stock is reported from five to
seven points below n full average.
Stock is practically free from disease
of any kind.
