Editor st, Tammanv FARMER:
Having seen nothing in your pa
per from our section OF the country
for some time. I send you these few
lines, not altogether as news, but
merely to let you know that our
community is still in the line Of
progress.
Farmers about here have all ex-
ceedingly fair crops and are we'll
up with them, SIS concerns work,
though such is no praise for them,
IS our country round about here
is made up Of the most thrifty and
scientific farmers.
Sheep shearing is the order of the
day, but the wool turnout viii pro-
baby fall short, owing to the pas,
dreadful winter. So, also, has stock
in general suffered much.
A business followed here fol
many years by some Of our resi-
dents, 1 mean that Of ''loggin&
it, has been laid aside aud given
place to nice farms and homes,
where formerly there were none,
which accounts IN = great measure
for the prosperity aud progress Of
tins part Of our parish.
We have been granted . public
school, which opened on the 2nd
Monday in June.
Our church hiss recently been re.
organized. and we have regular
s'supply," which we have not had
for a long time. We have also .
nice Sunday School, and hold regu.
lar prayer meetings ut our church.
l must not omit mentioning the
fact that the Fifth Ward Of st.
TammaDy Parish did one Of tue
grandess christian acts when j,
voted out the sale of wl,iskey.
However, We are told that . bever.
age under the fictitious name Of
s.Sheep-head and Onions can bt
bought in the above ward, and
that . reasonable quantity OF said
beverage will intoxicate those who
drink Il, which fact We might sub
stantiate by the appearance Of some
individuals seen about our church
now and then, who are said to in
dulge in it.
Being quite busy at present,
am compelled to close At this, but
will try again ut another time
Very respectfully yours, b. n.

THE ATROCITIES.
The Sultan Charged with Ordering
the armenian Massacres
THE WORST NOT PUBLISHED
II the English, rench and Russian Consuls
Were to Make known Their Official
Reports Europe Would
stand Aghast.

BosToN, Nov. 26.-The following let.
ter has been received from reliable
person in Constantinople:
The TURKS have induced some Of the subsi-
die European papers to SPEAK OF these crimes
as Armenian outbreaks, etc, hut the ambnsSa-
doris have fu reports which they ought to pub
lish that refute these AMI show c)nclusiyely
that within a day or two after he signed the re-
form scheme the sultan ordered the Armenans
to be lnasSGcred in order tha5 there should
be no question OF an Armenian majority in
any Of the provinces The people sought the
s. oils Obtlinab ana so did not execute the
Sultan'S wish to the fullest extent But the
loss OF life has been awful Moreover there
seems to be no way Of preventing more OF
the same sort It is the most awful crime
of the century. because IL is persist
emily falsided by its author. Everywhere
the story is the samoa deliberate
preparation and then a story sent to Europe
that the Armenans attacked the inonensive
Turks and were reduced to order after
q few had been killed Worse times are
In store for us. Europe Is divided in
counsel, and the Turks finding that nothing
is done for this crime will go on to eX-
tremes. The highest Moslem court has
declared that the sultan cannot lawfully be
restrained in the exercise Of his will since
he IS the representative Of God for the whole
earth. From laOD to 1000 people have been
slaughtered during the last month and in con-
sequence no less than 100000 persons hereto
fore dependent on them for their daily food are
now in want The coming winter will witness
"a vast amount Of suffering 1t Is not alone ut
SaSsoun, but NIL over the land that the occur
rences have taken place.
The Worst Not Made Public
LONDON, Nov GA dispatch to the
Daily News from Constantinople Civ
ing general resume of the situation,
declares that recent massacres put the
early outrages of Sassoun and Moosh
entirely in the background. If either
England, France or Russia should pub
lish the stories reported officially by
the cool-headed consuls, all Europe
would stand aghast at the proofs.
Wherever these consuls have invcsti-
gated matters they have found that
the accusations that the Armenians
provoked the riots are false.
The Vienna correspondent of the
Telegraph announces that strenuous eff
forts are being made throughout the
Armenian provinces to compel clergy
men and prominent persons by threats
to sign addresses to the sultan declar-
ing that the Armenians provoked all
outbreaks. 1t is claimed that the one
which recently appeared from Erze-
roum was procured in this fashion.

LYNN, Mass, Nov. 20. Retired Cham

yesterday: II am disguised with the

confne my entire time to the stage.
No matter what the public may say,
whether it be complimentary or other
wise, l cannot be induced again to
enter the arena. They may say when
/ whipped Sullivan he was an old man,
and that never whipped good man
in my career, but l am fully deter
mined in my purpose to quit. l suppose
the public blames me for not
pulling off the fight with Fitzsimmons,
but am not disposed to answer any
criticism and will not do so. l be-
slowed the championship upon Peter
Maher because he is an Irishman and
because l prefer he should have and
defend the title rather than place it in

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 26-The first bliz-

last evening and continued until near

fall is about inches, but on account
of the high winds it is badly drifted.
The heavy sleet had n bad effect on

wires and the service is demoralized.
From II o'clock last night until II
o'clock this morning st. Louis had
been cut off from all Geographic com.

this morning state that the blizzard
extended from North Dakota to Texas
