Niag VOL. 2. TOPICS OF THE WEEK. The Irish Homo Rule Association was dissolved Friday last. TnE obsequies of the late Thurlow Weed took place in New York Friday.The health of Mr. Childers, British Secretary for War, has brokon down, and he has been ordered abroad. The historic shrine in the cathedral of St. Denis, near Paris, was robbed Friday of a quantity of gold and silver objects, besides relics aud crowns of antiquarian value. Considerable excitement has been occasioned at Cairo by a report that a portion of the recruits for the Soudan had refused to go on service unless they were led by Arabi Pasha. Me. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons the other day that no arrangement had been effected with Egypt, and that no proposal had been made for a European Conference.The 09th anniversary of the British evacuation of New York was observed in a small way Saturday last. The centennial anniversary of that event next year is expected to be vigorously celebrated. The prosecution of small Starroute swindlers in Nebraska has resulted in the conviction of one man, who was punished by a $500 fine. Enough to show that there was swindling going on at least. The Prohibition law of lowa has stimulated the manufacture of various kinds of " bitters " consisting of whisky disguised in one way or another. The Internal Revenue officials refuso to be fooled by it. The closing of the University of St. Petersburg by the police was the result of the issuo of a circular by the students, calling a mass meeting for the purpose of expressing sympathy with their brethren of the University of Kazan. Loud Puffeuin is urging upon the Khedive the necessity of expediting the formation of the new corps of Egyptian gendarmerie, in order to allow of the early withdrawal of the British anny of occupation from the country. The forces of the False Prophet, whose operations in Soudan have been heralded so extensively, have been defeated, and it is said the Prophet himself has been captured. Nothing has lately been heard of his " Maneaters."The Porto has telegraphed to the powers drawing attention to the warlike movement in Montenegro, but has in most instauces received curt replies to the effect that the several governments have no information of the existence of such a movemont. The impression is gaining ground among the European residents at Cairo that the trial of Arabi will never bo brought to a conclusion, and that it is merely a subterfuge to gain time until a plot between tho Sultan, the Khedive, aud Arabi is ripe for execution. At Sweetsburg, Que., on Fiiday last, Win. Richards, who was to havo been hanged on that morning, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a jack-knifo which he had obtained in some unaccountable manner. Tho clergyman who attended i him during his incarceration pronounces him a most hardened crimi! nal. The British government has re' ceivcd information that great dis! tress is threatened in Ireland during | the winter, owing to tho failure of ! tho potato crop and want of employ-1 ment on the farms. Owing to tho continuously heavy demands upon the Irish in America for tho support j of the Land League there has been a , falling off in contributions from this I quarter. said, take turn and turn in "watching; but take no notice to-morrow, if to-morrow we, indeed see. Go and choose which of those beds you will take; mine is in the corner." I was very tired, and slept soundly, in spite of all the dark hints that the old dame had thrown out. It might have been the rain that kept falling throughout the night or, perhaps, it was the dull droning chanting that the old woman kept up as she rocked herself backwards and forwards in her chair. -ft " However, 1 awoke not till morning, and jtiuu only by tho noise she made in unfaston"'•tjio door; and letting fall the ladder, though she let it down with care, AN grating noise as it descended. morning, granny'said I,'and I hope you have slept.'

London, Nov. 26—It has been officially re- ' ported to the Government that widespread distress is foared in Ireland this winter. Tho districts most seriously affected through want of employment on tho farms and the failure of the potato crop are Sligo, Ballina, Swinford, and tho greater portion of Galway. There is much destitution in West Clare and Connaught. Owing to the continuously heavy demands upon Irishmen in America to support tho Land league, there has been a considerable decrease in the remittances. This has reduced many to the condition of being unable to purchase new seed. A Pious Fraud Locked Up. Elizabethtown, Ky., Nov 26—The Rev. J. G. Wharton, alias J. D. Hill of Carthage, ; Missouri, charged with embezzlement, has i been arrested here. He had with him Mrs. j i'cGill, wife of another Carthago man. It is alleged that Wharton is tho father of fifteen children, and tho woman the mother of t|r"oe, all left behind. Wharton fcss been taking a prominent part in religious meetings here. An Unfortunate Family. Detroit, Nov. 24.—Dr. Bennett, of the Co. Asylum, came to Detroit yesterday with the intelligence that Mrs. Fitzgerald, mother of the unfortunate Lizzie Fitzgerald, who diod from the effects of abortion, had diod the evening before at tho asylutn, being mentally deranged to the last. With her death ends one of tho saddest chapters in local criminal history, The family, once wellto-do and respectable, fell victims to the seducer and the abortionist. Lizzie Fitzgerald had not long been dead boforo u fatal illness, the outgrowth of the calamity, struck down the husband and father. The wife's insanity, and hor removal to tho County Asylum, formod another puragraph iu tho sad record; and now what was known as the Fitzgerald family has been by a succosion of unhappy circumstances wiped out of existence. Prince And Poet. Mr. W. C. Bennett, honorary secretary to the Longfellow Mornoi ial Committee, has received the following letter:— Bandrinqham, Norfolk, Nov. 4. Dear Sir,—l have had the honor of laying before the Princo of Wales your communications of tho 21st and 81st ult., and I am desired to inform yoa in reply that his Royal Highness h:.s much satisfaction in acceding to the request that has been made to him that he would consent to allow his name to appear as tho chairman of the Ixjngfellow Memorial Cominitte. 1 am to add that bis Royal Highness is very glad that ail opportunity has been afforded him of showing tho high respect which ho entertains for the memory of tho greatest of American poets, and his appreciation of ttie value and excellence of his works. I am, dear sir, Yours faithfully, Francis Knollyh. Frightful Fate of a Family. Bki.i.kvii.lk, Nov. 20.—Forsythe, a coal" minor, on Friday took several sticks of dynamite home for tho purpose of using in fishing. Not knowing its dangerous qualities he placed it in the kitchen stove to thaw out. He then wont to work. His wife and throe children sat down to dinner, and iu fifteen minutes Forsythe was startled by a loud report. Hurrying home be found the houso completely wrocked, his wife and throe children insensible, and horribly mangled. A boy aged five was dead, and Mrs. torsythe, who sat nearest the stove, was gashed and bruised by tho fragments, presenting the appearance of a person riddled with buckshot. Tho other two children were considerably bruised and cut, but not fatally. Forsythe is nearly crazed and attempted suicide. Boy Abduction. Montreal, Nov. 24.—An unusual case will shortly come up in the Superior Court hero, and from the scandal that is involved in it there is no doubt it will cause a sensa. tion. The plaintiff is a wealthy member of tho clothing trade, occupying a high position in society, and the defendant a Roman Catholic cure in a suburban villago. The charge is for spiriting away a youth of tender years, whoso reputed father is the plaintiff, and whoso mother was an unfortunate victim of love's wiles. It appears that some years ago, when the complainant abandoned tho girl, the baby, at the desire of tho mother, who was a catholic, was entrusted to the legal tutorship of the priest. However, of late, tho father has been anxious to get tho child brought up in tho Protestant faith, the lad having been baptised shortly after his birth in St. Martin's Episcopal church by Rev. Canon Dumoulin. To this the priest | demurred, and hence the monthly allowance given by the reputed father has been peremptorily withdrawn. This has caused a complete estrangement between tho guardian and the plaintiff. An attempt was made by friemls of the parties to settle the matter by the priest assuming for a ltimp sum the future responsibility of tho little ward's education and bringing him up, but to this the parent would not listen. The next course was a legal and formal demand for the child on behalf of tho plaintiff, which was peremptorily refused. It appear* since this last proceeding tho boy has been removed from his former domicile, and no clua can bo obtained to his whereabouts. The defendant, however, says his ward is safe, having been removed for tho benefit of his health, which has lately been very delicate, All The Comet. "We bad a comet as large as this one in 1802," said Judge Tilden during a lull in an assault case, "und it was followed by a tidal , wave like that of Tuesday last. The Democrats carried New York by ninety thousand, and Mr. Conkling, who was then running for Governor, was so mad tbat he resigned a directorship in the Utica fair association and kept to the bouse for over a mouth. I charge it all on the comet." "How about Indiana'!l" asked a young lawyer who bad been admittted only the day The Judge turned, and after looking him over carefully, said gently, as though to hnrt as little as possible, "Young man, if the history you studied in school was of any value, it certainly must have taught you there was no State of Indiana in ISO 2.'1 mm The following is a ' Jurors drawn at the CourtHoßNfcVi^lkSS., to serve at the Terra of the County Court \ and Court of Session; which convenes in ( Lockport on Monday next, Judge Brundage ! presiding.

Tlio culture of tlie Almond tree iu Califor- ( ilia is daily increasing. Large orchards of ( them are found in many places. A careless observer in passing would suppose them to bo pencil orchards, so nearly do they lesemble the poach tree. The blossom is tho same, * only of a lighter and moro delicate pink i ' color: the loaf is of the fame shnpo, but a ' shade darker greon. The almond in its earlier stages cannot bo distinguished from a young peach, having a covering closely re- ' sembling tho pulp of a peach. When it ' reaches maturity this covering becomes dry I and hard, separates from the Almond, and ' allows it to fall to tho ground. Tho average yield per tree is about eight pounds. Like ] many kinds of fruit troes it has its insect ene- I niies, the most prominent of which is the ( Red Spider. It is found on the under side | of the limbs and especially the small , To tho naked eyo it looks like small particles of rod dust, but examined under a micro- j scope it is seen to ba nil active insect, de- ( ponding for its existence on the juices of tho ( bark, thereby destroying it and eventually ( killing the tree, unless some remedy is used in season to prevent it.—Traveler.

Experiments have been made at tho New York morgue to test a proct ss by which it is claimed dead bodies, though badly swollen i and decomposed, can bo restored to something like a natural appearance, and pro- ' served so that it will be recognizable after j months of burial. The subject opera toil up- j on was the corpse of an unknown woman j who had died from erysipelas. It was soft, black and blue and out of all human proportions. An incision was mado in the right leg and an emlwlining fluid injected into the femoral artery. In less than half an hour the body assumed its natural size, became harder tban in life, and as the degree of j hardness increased the discoloration disappeared, leaving it of a marble whiteness. Tbe body of a man, operated upon seven weeks before, had been kept uubutied without decomposition. It retained a natural j appearance, and was without odor.

We hope to soon bo able to announce a per] formnnce by the Dramatic club. Come, j boys, hurry up, cr yon will not be able to play but about once this winter. Mr. W. Long has placed storm doors on his new hotel. Good act. If others of our citizens would do tho same, they would burn less fuel and have warmer houses this winter. Any man, be ho an hotel keeper or anything elso, who will give a little child of six | or seven years of age whisky to drink until it becomes boastly intoxicated, should bo I sent to Kingston penitentiary for life. Such f an Inhuman thing was done in this town a short time since, and for a time the child's life was despaired of. The parents should prosecuto the offender to tho utmost extent of the law. We understand that somo of our young men cross tho river to Youngstown pretty often. The attractions of the Yankee girls are very strong. We hear that two of the lads went over thoro last week, to see some young ludies, but failed to connect, said young ladies, having caught a glimpse of their Cannuck friends, making themselves scarce by disappearing arour.d a convenient street corner, while the " boys " were forced to coutout themselves with a visit to lUpson's foundry. Too bad, boys! Now is tho time wlieu the " boys" who do not And it comfortablo to stand on tho corners, will loaf in tlio grocery stores, sit on tho sugar barrels, and spit tobacco juico on the stove. Many ladies pass from one store to the other in the vain hope of finding at least one of thein empty of loafers, and perhaps go homo without purchasing what they cauio to town fur, not being able to face the ruile gaze and open eurs ef these Infernal nuisances. It jvould be a groat benefit to themselves ami tho public generally if those ' boys' would go to school for tho w Inter months and endeuvor to learn something that will be of use to them hereafter. I/ots of fun is oxpected at the coming Municipal election. We hear there is likely to be three candidates for the office of Mayor; Mr. H. Garrett, Mr. W. Winter bottom, and Mr. T. I*. Blain; though it is said that Mr. lllaiu will not accept tho nomination. We think that any one of the threo would (111 the Mayor's chair with becoming dignity, but it will remain with the people to say which of them shall bo tho lucky (or unlucky, which?) man. It is expected that everything will go off smoothly, if no disturbing Oeale arises to drift tho snows of Winter and whirl them from collar to Garrett, making evorybody uncomfortable, and causing many to howl with chill-Hlaiu. What groat fun it is to many ladles to "go shopping." Most of them have no intention of buying anything, and soino have not the wherewithal to do so. After making the clerk haul down everything within reach (and soro* that is out of reach), taking up his time for an hour, or more, it may be, ' they sail out the door, with a prornlso to re-1 turn another day, not huving bought a cents worth. Wo saw u t-umplo of this the other (lay in one of our stores. Two ladies i who bud bothered the clerk forover an hour, started for tl o door without buying any' thing. "What's the good of handling the I goods when you know you don't want 'eini" ' asks the clerk. "To give you trouble," said one of them. "To make you osrn your r money," said tho other. And, now, wo won' der if this is not tho true secret of so much ' shopping after all. An attempted elopemmt of one of our fairest young ladles and a Ht.i 'atliai ines man, i who, by the way, has a wifo and two cbildron, w as planned to have taken placo a few nights since, but, as Hobby Hums says, " The best laid plans of mice and nun gangs oft' agice." Tho father of the fair 15 damsel, on nearing his home at a pretty late hour, noticed a covered cab waiting quietly in tho road a short distance from the bouse. Ho, therefore, as they say, "smelt a mice," and waited patiently for the sequel. In a few ' ; minutes his loving and obedient daughter ! stole silently forth, valise in baud, and was S ! joined on the ether side of the road by her - I gay ada»ii or. As tho lady was about eur toring the cab, shfl was pulled roughly back • | ward*, and confronted by her Irate papa, ' who persuaded her (with the end of bis i- j walking stick) to return to her home.

Niag VOL. 2. TOPICS OF THE WEEK. The Irish Homo Rule Association was dissolved Friday last. TnE obsequies of the late Thurlow Weed took place in New York Friday.The health of Mr. Childers, British Secretary for War, has brokon down, and he has been ordered abroad. The historic shrine in the cathedral of St. Denis, near Paris, was robbed Friday of a quantity of gold and silver objects, besides relics aud crowns of antiquarian value. Considerable excitement has been occasioned at Cairo by a report that a portion of the recruits for the Soudan had refused to go on service unless they were led by Arabi Pasha. Me. Gladstone stated in the House of Commons the other day that no arrangement had been effected with Egypt, and that no proposal had been made for a European Conference.The 09th anniversary of the British evacuation of New York was observed in a small way Saturday last. The centennial anniversary of that event next year is expected to be vigorously celebrated. The prosecution of small Starroute swindlers in Nebraska has resulted in the conviction of one man, who was punished by a $500 fine. Enough to show that there was swindling going on at least. The Prohibition law of lowa has stimulated the manufacture of various kinds of " bitters " consisting of whisky disguised in one way or another. The Internal Revenue officials refuso to be fooled by it. The closing of the University of St. Petersburg by the police was the result of the issuo of a circular by the students, calling a mass meeting for the purpose of expressing sympathy with their brethren of the University of Kazan. Loud Puffeuin is urging upon the Khedive the necessity of expediting the formation of the new corps of Egyptian gendarmerie, in order to allow of the early withdrawal of the British anny of occupation from the country. The forces of the False Prophet, whose operations in Soudan have been heralded so extensively, have been defeated, and it is said the Prophet himself has been captured. Nothing has lately been heard of his " Maneaters."The Porto has telegraphed to the powers drawing attention to the warlike movement in Montenegro, but has in most instauces received curt replies to the effect that the several governments have no information of the existence of such a movemont. The impression is gaining ground among the European residents at Cairo that the trial of Arabi will never bo brought to a conclusion, and that it is merely a subterfuge to gain time until a plot between tho Sultan, the Khedive, aud Arabi is ripe for execution. At Sweetsburg, Que., on Fiiday last, Win. Richards, who was to havo been hanged on that morning, committed suicide by cutting his throat with a jack-knifo which he had obtained in some unaccountable manner. Tho clergyman who attended i him during his incarceration pronounces him a most hardened crimi! nal. The British government has re' ceivcd information that great dis! tress is threatened in Ireland during the winter, owing to tho failure of ! tho potato crop and want of employ-1 ment on the farms. Owing to tho continuously heavy demands upon the Irish in America for tho support j of the Land League there has been a , falling off in contributions from this I quarter. said, take turn and turn in "watching; but take no notice to-morrow, if to-morrow we, indeed see. Go and choose which of those beds you will take; mine is in the corner." I was very tired, and slept soundly, in spite of all the dark hints that the old dame had thrown out. It might have been the rain that kept falling throughout the night or, perhaps, it was the dull droning chanting that the old woman kept up as she rocked herself backwards and forwards in her chair. -ft " However, 1 awoke not till morning, and jtiuu only by tho noise she made in unfaston"'•tjio door; and letting fall the ladder, though she let it down with care, AN grating noise as it descended. morning, granny'said I,'and I hope you have slept.'

London, Nov. 26—It has been officially re- ' ported to the Government that widespread distress is foared in Ireland this winter. Tho districts most seriously affected through want of employment on tho farms and the failure of the potato crop are Sligo, Ballina, Swinford, and tho greater portion of Galway. There is much destitution in West Clare and Connaught. Owing to the continuously heavy demands upon Irishmen in America to support tho Land league, there has been a considerable decrease in the remittances. This has reduced many to the condition of being unable to purchase new seed. A Pious Fraud Locked Up. Elizabethtown, Ky., Nov 26—The Rev. J. G. Wharton, alias J. D. Hill of Carthage, ; Missouri, charged with embezzlement, has i been arrested here. He had with him Mrs. j i'cGill, wife of another Carthago man. It is alleged that Wharton is tho father of fifteen children, and tho woman the mother of t r"oe, all left behind. Wharton fcss been taking a prominent part in religious meetings here. An Unfortunate Family. Detroit, Nov. 24.—Dr. Bennett, of the Co. Asylum, came to Detroit yesterday with the intelligence that Mrs. Fitzgerald, mother of the unfortunate Lizzie Fitzgerald, who diod from the effects of abortion, had diod the evening before at tho asylutn, being mentally deranged to the last. With her death ends one of tho saddest chapters in local criminal history, The family, once wellto-do and respectable, fell victims to the seducer and the abortionist. Lizzie Fitzgerald had not long been dead boforo u fatal illness, the outgrowth of the calamity, struck down the husband and father. The wife's insanity, and hor removal to tho County Asylum, formod another puragraph iu tho sad record; and now what was known as the Fitzgerald family has been by a succosion of unhappy circumstances wiped out of existence. Prince And Poet. Mr. W. C. Bennett, honorary secretary to the Longfellow Mornoi ial Committee, has received the following letter:— Bandrinqham, Norfolk, Nov. 4. Dear Sir,—l have had the honor of laying before the Princo of Wales your communications of tho 21st and 81st ult., and I am desired to inform yoa in reply that his Royal Highness h:.s much satisfaction in acceding to the request that has been made to him that he would consent to allow his name to appear as tho chairman of the Ixjngfellow Memorial Cominitte. 1 am to add that bis Royal Highness is very glad that ail opportunity has been afforded him of showing tho high respect which ho entertains for the memory of tho greatest of American poets, and his appreciation of ttie value and excellence of his works. I am, dear sir, Yours faithfully, Francis Knollyh. Frightful Fate of a Family. Bki.i.kvii.lk, Nov. 20.—Forsythe, a coal" minor, on Friday took several sticks of dynamite home for tho purpose of using in fishing. Not knowing its dangerous qualities he placed it in the kitchen stove to thaw out. He then wont to work. His wife and throe children sat down to dinner, and iu fifteen minutes Forsythe was startled by a loud report. Hurrying home be found the houso completely wrocked, his wife and throe children insensible, and horribly mangled. A boy aged five was dead, and Mrs. torsythe, who sat nearest the stove, was gashed and bruised by tho fragments, presenting the appearance of a person riddled with buckshot. Tho other two children were considerably bruised and cut, but not fatally. Forsythe is nearly crazed and attempted suicide. Boy Abduction. Montreal, Nov. 24.—An unusual case will shortly come up in the Superior Court hero, and from the scandal that is involved in it there is no doubt it will cause a sensa. tion. The plaintiff is a wealthy member of tho clothing trade, occupying a high position in society, and the defendant a Roman Catholic cure in a suburban villago. The charge is for spiriting away a youth of tender years, whoso reputed father is the plaintiff, and whoso mother was an unfortunate victim of love's wiles. It appears that some years ago, when the complainant abandoned tho girl, the baby, at the desire of tho mother, who was a catholic, was entrusted to the legal tutorship of the priest. However, of late, tho father has been anxious to get tho child brought up in tho Protestant faith, the lad having been baptised shortly after his birth in St. Martin's Episcopal church by Rev. Canon Dumoulin. To this the priest demurred, and hence the monthly allowance given by the reputed father has been peremptorily withdrawn. This has caused a complete estrangement between tho guardian and the plaintiff. An attempt was made by friemls of the parties to settle the matter by the priest assuming for a ltimp sum the future responsibility of tho little ward's education and bringing him up, but to this the parent would not listen. The next course was a legal and formal demand for the child on behalf of tho plaintiff, which was peremptorily refused. It appear* since this last proceeding tho boy has been removed from his former domicile, and no clua can bo obtained to his whereabouts. The defendant, however, says his ward is safe, having been removed for tho benefit of his health, which has lately been very delicate, All The Comet. "We bad a comet as large as this one in 1802" said Judge Tilden during a lull in an assault case, "und it was followed by a tidal , wave like that of Tuesday last. The Democrats carried New York by ninety thousand, and Mr. Conkling, who was then running for Governor, was so mad tbat he resigned a directorship in the Utica fair association and kept to the bouse for over a mouth. I charge it all on the comet." "How about Indiana'!l" asked a young lawyer who bad been admittted only the day The Judge turned, and after looking him over carefully, said gently, as though to hnrt as little as possible, "Young man, if the history you studied in school was of any value, it certainly must have taught you there was no State of Indiana in ISO 2.'1 mm The following is a ' Jurors drawn at the CourtHoßNfcVi^lkSS., to serve at the Terra of the County Court \ and Court of Session; which convenes in ( Lockport on Monday next, Judge Brundage ! presiding.
