The harvest in France was lee by 5,252,383 ettolitres than that obtained there in 1881, while in Italy it was greater by 5,023,79, elt. litres than the average production, though below the production of exceptionally good years.

Moen regret has been occasioned in Exeter by the suicide of Mr. Frisk Brodie, spirit merchant. The deceased had recently called his creditors together, and after reading a letter to the effect that negotiations which he had looked npon as almeet completed had fallen through, he went to his bedroom, and with a razor almost severed his head from his body.

THERE has been a full-dress parade of troops at Chatham garrison, when Colonel Gordon (who is in temporary command) presented war medals to those who had served throughout the Egyptian campaign, several hmslred being quartered there. The gallant colonel complitnented both officers and men upon the heroism shown by all ranks during one of the sharpest, although shortest, campaigns in which British troops had been engaged. Fon infringing the provisionsof the Explosives Act by neglecting to renew the license of his powder magazine, Joseph Hamblet, I,rick manufacturer, West Bromwich, has been fined £5 and cods. On the 22nd alt. the police seized at defendant's works liewt. of • blasting powder, and it was chosen that he had not renewed hialicense since December 1881. He had been previously fined for a similar offence. AN extraordinary charge of wilful damage has been investigated by the Portsmouth magistrates. A man named John Howard was shown to have slammed down and thereby broken the iron coven ing of a manhole of the main drain, the damage done amounting to 19s. When told that two men were down the drain, he replied, " Let them get up again." The acting borough engineer proved that had the occurrence not been observed and the manhole opened, the two melt would probably have met with their death my suffocation. The magistrates marked their appreciation of the gravity of the offence by sentencing the prisoner to a month's imprisonment with hard labour. AT a meeting of the Farmers' Alliance, in the Town Hall, Northampton, it was considered desirable to establish a branch in Northamptonshire. A resolution was passed expressing gratification at the mention of agriculture tenant-right in the Queen's Speech.
