Unless terms are made they are certain to be massacred.A despatch from Constantinople says that the Embassies have been informed that tribunals with powor of final decision will be formed immediately in Armenia. These tribunals will exercise virtually martial law and will try all persons accused of causing disturbances. The despatch adds that unless the tribunals are supervised carefully there will be bloody assizes. The Porte denies the recent report that the Arabs of the Yemen district In Arabia, headed by the Imaum of Sana, are in revolt, end that the Turkish forces are invested in the town of Sana. A despatch from Constantinople says that the Bedlfs In the Kalseriyen district and Angora have refused to join the colors under the order recently issued by the Porte.

Western New York during the fall name nearly to a water famine. In the first place, the drought that set in early not only stuck to Uβ all summer, but It became worse as the eroDS were ripening, and November arrived with the smaller streams all dry and manj I wells and springs without water. Farmers situated away from the larger streams carefully eked out thn water supply and wondered what they should do when the last spring gave out. With not a few of thpm the last spring did give out and then these was nothing to do bat drive the stock to distant st n-ams. In towns with waterworks that were not taxed to their full Rapacity it got to be the custom to get a tank such as is used by a steam tresher and drew it fall every day for the animals to drink. This was done, for example, at Batavia. The worst prospect was that of winter with no water, or water frozen up. About twenty years ago something of that sort did happen, though it is not believed that the drought was so severe as it has been this year. Tne district is now : afe. The rain of two or more days that is just over brought more than two inches of water. There had been a snow storm the week before that wet the surface of the ground, but was not enough to raise the streams, and this long downpour was what was needed. There were light rains enough all season to keep the crops growing, and outside of hay they have been good, bat till now there had •jot been a really heavy rain this year. Deer on the Rampage. The far.ners in the vicinity of Farming-lale. Long Island, are complaining of the :arge number of deer running over the country destroying the crops, and, it is said chat several of them will bring suits against the county for damages and make a test case A ;he game law. As the season for deer hunting is closed no one can shoot deer on Long Island, and, in consequence, the deer wander over farm lands, eating everything thu farmers have planted for winter and spring u»e. The farmers say they cannot see why they should feed the deer through the season and buffer he consequent loss. One man, Erie Even, of Unlondalc, had a tussle with a deer recently, and as a result It is not at all unlikely that denial ve steps will w taken shortly to ask the Legislature to amend the law.
