conr-idering tho source from which
it came (,Co!. MeCiure's paper, the

There were a hundred ways by which the
truth or falsity ot the accusation could
have been ascertained by those who claim

dare to test the issue or they did not want
to do so lieyonil the point they might make

examine it, 1111J apparently determined
that they t-!i:;!l not be allowed to do so;

the Democratic majority of the Con
necticnt Legislature began to mur
mur. Something must bo done. It
is reported, on the authority of well
informed people, that members from
the Counties of Litchfield and Fair
field offered themselves, or were offer
ed, for Bale at the price of $300 a
a head on single vote. It has been
objected that this is a low figure

nj opportunity to sell out at any
II
price. Moreover, it is said that the
broker who conducted the negotia
tion expressly stipulated that this
was a transaction based on principle.
If there were any general interest
felt in the question involved, the
crafty go-between declared, he and
his friends would spurn the bribe;
but, so long as it was a purely local
affair, not "concerning the general
good," why, they would go for the
measure for a consideration which
was described by holding up three
fingers. It appears, therefore, that
Connecticut Democratic reform op
plies only to large sums of money
and to questions of correspond. ug
importance. The reformi lion which
began wilb. the etectiou of Mr. Fa
ton has not got down to the small
towns. The gentlemen accused are
from the district of that eminent
Democratic Reformer and Congress
man, Mr. W. II. Barnum. This gen
tleman is also a man of wealth, and
his firm bold on his district shows
how strong is Lis grip on the "Reformers."
With a rare stroke of humor, the
legislative body which i3 thus wick
edly derided by the newspapers at
first proposed to expel the correspond
ent who had .old abroad the story of
the bribery. It was thought a good
joke to turn out the reporters, and so
make an end of it. Rut, after pri
vate caucus, the Reformers thought
better of it, and resolved to have an
investigation. Think of a Democrat
ic Legislature, hardly yet warm in
their scats, making an inquest for
bribery! The occasion does not fur
nish a very auspicious opening for
the great reform party of New Fag
land. We have heard so much of
good intentions and virtuous resolu
tions, we Blight be excused if we

noint. The country must be irrigated
ia sor.-to way, to make production
certain. Ia some sections artesian
wells c-swer the purpose, well and
cheaply. The water is raised by
means cf w 'iad-miil?, and distributed
in the tianl way. Rut artesian wells
cannot lo had everywhere, and
then ether means must be resorted
to. Tho San Joaquin Valley, one of
the largest and richest in the btate,
needs water nrrc than almost any
otlter portion ct the State. To do it
it is proposed t j make a
CANAL oliO 5III.ES LONG
from Lake I u.are. briajinjr the wa
ters of that littlo tea down the whole
length of the valley. To utilize the
water to the fullest extent, it is pro
posed to make the canal navigable,
so as to not only furnish water for
the crops, but to furnish cheap tran
sit for the crops alter they are pro
duced. The work will be enormously
expensive, but it wid pay. me val

and ia wet seasons will produce the

crops would pay for the canal. This

It is impossible for individuals to
make ditches of sufficient capacity to

The followin? account of the re
cent volcanic eruption in Iceland is
furnished in a report by the Rev.
Dean Siguard Gunnarsson, dated
llallormsstad, inMuIasysla, April 24:
"Pn Easter Monday, in the irorn
ing, loud rumbling no;3es wire heard
to the westward, and apparently
travelled to the northeast, in the di
rection of the mojntain ranges boun
ding the valley of Eljotsdalsherad to
the north. Presently the sounds
turned backward along the southern
mountains as well. The air was
heavy and jet black toward the north
and northeast About 9 o'clock
whitish gray seoriaceous sand began
to fall from the sky, the particles
averaging the size of a grain, but
in shape longer. The dark column
moved on nearer and nearer, and the
darkness rapidly iucreased, while the
seoriaceous hail thickened at the
same rate. A full hour before noon
candles had to be lighted in the
houses, and at noon the darkness
was as dense as that ef a windowless
bouse; even abroad the fingers of the
band could not be distinguished at
the distance of a few inches from the
eye. This pitch darkness lasted for
about an hour. During the dark all
glass windows appeared like mirrors
to those inside, reflecting the objects
on which the light fell as if they had
been covered outside with a coat of
quicksilver. For four consecutive
hours it was necessary to have light
ed candles in the houses. During
all that time the ashes and tne sand
were falling thick and fast. Light
ning and claps of thunder were at the
same time seen and heard iu rapid
succession, and the earth and every
thing seemed to tremble again. The
air was charged with electricity to
such an extent that pinnacles end
staff spikes of iron, when turned into
the air, and even one's hands when
held up seemed all ablaze. Rut the
thunder differed from ordinary clap3
in this, that it traveled in rapidly
repeated echoes across the skies.
When the darkness wore off the fall
of the ashes abated. The dark col
umn now moved inland toward the
upper valleys; but, being there met
by a counter-current or air, it remain
ed at first stationary for awhile, and
afterward moved slowly down coun
try again along the valleys, so that
once more the daylight was changed
into dusk, which was accompanied by
the fall of fine ashes.
After tho fall the earth wa3 cover
ed with a layer of ashes and scoria;
from one and a half inches to eight
inches deep; coarest where it lay
thickest, in many cases exhibiting
pumice boulders twice as large as the
fist.. In these places the ashes fell
hot as embers on the ground. At
first the fall of the ashes was accom
panied by a foul sulphurous stink,
which, however, very soon vanished.
When the ashts bad any preceptible
taste it was that of salt and iron.
For three days after the fall still
weather prevailed, and the ashes lay
undisturbed on the earth. Lefore
the fall of the ashes the land was
snowless and pasture plentiful; but
after it not a creature could be let
oat of doors; and the sheep, if they
ere let out. would run as u mad in
nil directions. On the fourth day
pretty stiff southwest ffale blew the
ashes away from the hillocks and
mounds, except the finest part, which
remained on the swaru, presenting
the appearance of a compact scurf,
But what little good this gale might
have done was undone the next day
by a wind blowing from the north
west.
This fearful visitation has brought
with it an immense destruction of
pasturage and fodder for cattle about
these district?. 15ut it is a great
mercy that our Heavenly Father, as
yet, spared some oi the northern and
southern districts of Mulasysla. Into
these districts, therefore, people have
fled with the prcater part of their
herds, and shortly the flight will have
to be performed with every remain
ing beast, cows included, which may
escape the slaughterer's knife, when
the country not effected by the scoria;
shall have developed sufficient ver
dure. The dwellers in the unaffected
district have everywhere shown the
greatest readiness to assist us, who
dwell in this ash-covered country,
with all help in their power.
From this fearful visitation all hus
bandry in this east country must
come to utter ruin, and famine and
distress are imminent. All the coun
try 6ides here, which used to be con
sidered among the most prosperous
in the country, are now the worst off;
and the neighboring districts which
are free from the ashes cannot possi
bly bear up against the heavy strain
which this distress must bring to bear
upon them."
A letter to the Loudon Times
says :
In private letters which I have
just received from the distressed
parts, it is calculated that pastures
to the extent of from 2,500 to 3,000
square miles have been destroyed,
which supplied the necessary food
for 40,000 sheep, 2,000 cattle and
3.C00 horses."

abcut fifty miles northeast of Chicago,
a life preserver, with the straps pull

something near by which looked like
the basket. He did not make it out
exactly, not getting near enough,
lie had not heard of the missing bal

schooner Queen of the West, reports
that Saturday evening he saw some
thing like a balloon sticking out of
the water abcut four miles from
Frosse Toint. He could not get
near it. The captain of a lumber
vessel, arrived to-day, reports seeing
a floater, wearing a gray coat, about
forty miles from Grand Haven.

One of the most fiendish attacks on
a man's lito wnicn nas ever been
chronicled by the city press occurred
last evening on Avenue H, between
Twelfth and Thirteenth streets, about
eight o'clock.
The facts as learned are as follows:
Mr. Snipe, a carpenter, resides on
Avenue II, between the streets above
mentioned. His family consists of
his wife and one little child. The
w ne is a smau woman, but witu a
terrible temper, and for some time
past there has been trouble brewing.
Last evening, about seven o'clock.
Mrs. Snipe appeared at the police
siation ana wisned to ootain a war
rant for the arrest of her husband on
the charge of drunkenness; but being
unablo to obtain one, she returned
i

toward him should she meet him on
the way. On neanng her home she
espied him silting on the sidewalk
talking with a neighbor, when, w ith
out any warning, she Fpraag upon
him and fastening ner teeth in his
throat, she tried to tear out the flesh.
The neighbor promptly came to the
rescue of the unfortunate man, and
took this human tigress from him.
An officer was near the scene, and
carried the woman to jail where she
now lies awaiting the result of her
husband's injuries. At last accounts
the man was bleeding profusely from

Lawrence, July 12. A serious
riot occurred in this city to-night re
salting from an attack made by a mob
upon tha members of a lodge of
Orangemen while returning from a
picnic at Laurel grove, four miles up
the Merrimack river.
The picnic passed off quietly and
no trouble was anticipated, though
threats had been made in the morn
ing, and some of the men carried fire
arms in conscouence. About a doz
en oranemen, witu ladies and cnud
ren disembarked at the steamboat
landing, on Water street, and started
to walk up town. A crowd of sever
al hundred Irish were at the landing
and followed them, shouting and
cheering, u h?n in front of the l a
cific mills the crowd commenced
throwing stones. One of the ladies
was struck three times and badly
hurt. All of the party wero more or
less injured by missiles thrown at
them during the half mile walk to
the police station, whither they went
for protection.
Four of the men had a regalia
which particularly incensed the mob
One of the men was severely hurt
about the head and had his sash torn
from him. Arriving at the station
word was sent to the mayor, who
soon arrived at the scene and under
tooK to disperse the mob ot men
and bovs, but without avail. The
cries and jeers of the mob drowned
his voice. The mayor with a squad
of police started to take the party
through the crowd to their homes
Essex street through which they had
to pass, was at this time filled for
half a mile with the mob. A shower
of bricks, stones, and missiles were
hurled at the party a3 soon as they
appeared upon the street. With the
exception of the mayor every one of
the party was hurt. 1 olicemaa Gum
mel was knocked down and badly
hurt. James Spinlow, who was en
deavorinir to protect his brother's
wife, was knocked down, receiving a
terrible wound in his head from

Panama, July 8. Advices from
San Salvador state that a terrible
riottook place at San Miguel, a
town of forty thousand inhabitants,
in the southern part of the Republic.
A great deal of discontent has been
excited against the Government by
its refusal to allow a pastoral of the
Bishop of San Salvador, written in
hostility to the laws, to be read in the
churches. There had also teen con
siderable hostile feeling arao ig the
lower classes, owing to some regula
tions requiring dealers to use a new
market place. While matters were
in this condition, a priest named Pa
lacios preached a violent sermon
against the constituted authorities on
Sunday the 20th ult That evening
the mob arose, attacked the Cabilao,
and liberated some two hundred
prisoners, ineytnen proceeueu iu
assault the small garrison and took
the Cuartel, killed Generals Lspino-
n ..1 A
sa ana castro, cut tne xormer io
pieces and threw the piece9 at each
other, split the skull of Gen. Castro
and threw him over a wall, where he
was picked up by his mother and
died in three days. The garrison
were nearly all assassinated and
many prominent citizens killed. After
wards the fanatic mob set bre to some
sixteen houses with kerosene. Re
fore the town was entirely destroyed
it fortunately happened that ner
British Majesty's ship Fantome was
at La Union, where she landed her
marines, which allowed the garrison
there, united with some troops from
Amapala, in Honduras, to march to
the relief of San Miguel and put
down the mob.
The curate, Palacios, at last ac
counts was arrested, with others that
had participated in the outbreak, ana
a good many of the inferior rioters
bad been shot by order of 1 resident
Gonzalez, who bad arrived with
troops.
V ith the houses destroyed and
pillaged, the damage is estimated at
one million dollars, and commercial
failures are looked for in consequence.
The country has been declared in a
state of siege, and President Gonza
lez is taking measures to estab
lish order and bring the perpetrators
of this disgraceful outbreak to pun
ishment
The Diario, official of the State,
and all public prints abound in in
dignation against the priests who
we the instigators cf this savage
and sanguinary affair, the Capelutar
vicar for the edict published by ni3
order, and Jose Manuel l'alacios,
ex-Canonigo of the Cathedral of San
Salvador. The municipality of this
eitv asked to have said Palacios re
moved, but the Curia Ecclcsiastica
paid no attention to the petition. He
wa3 continually exciting hatred be
tween the lower and well-to-do
classes, and the result has just been
described.
One curiou3 and incredible discov
ery was made after the murderous
affair was over, and that was that
on the persons of some dead rebels
were found passports, which read,
when translated: "Peter, open to the
bearer the gates of Heaven, who has
died for religion," signed '(7eorge,
Bishop of San Salvador," and sealed
with the seal of the Bishopric of
San Salvador.

upon which are discharged cargoes
of soda ash, imported from Europe,
packed in boxes and barrels. The
recent heavy rains soaked through
many ef the barrels, and a large pool
of water, about nine inches deep,
highly impregnated with the soda
ash and forming a strong lye, covered
the centre of the lot. On the day
after the rain a driver with a team
of horses drove into this lot, and af
ter obtaining his load turned to go.
The nearest way to the road lay ci
rsctly through the before mentioned
pool of lye, and the driver, ignorant
its fharaeter. allowed his horses to
wade into it Either the animals
stumbled as their feet to'jched the
liquid, or the burning nature of the
latter caused them to become excited,
and they both fell in the pool. A
few moments of struggling and splash
ing and they regained their feet, but
appeared to be wild with pain,
jumping, rearing and snorting a3 if in
great auony. The driver, much as
tonished at tbeir antics, jumped from
his seat to investigate, and in so do
ing alighted in some of the lye, which
spurted on his tace and hands. In a
few moments the skin commenced to
burn, and to obtain relief he was com
pelled to leave the s-'ffering brutes,
whose rage became more intense as
their agony increased. The driver's
injuries were dressed, but nothing
could be done for tho horses, as their
burns extended all over their legs
and the under portions of their bodies

quirer's Canton, Ohio, special says
Jerome Markell has been arrested
there on suspicion of having, with
accomplices, committed one of the
most extensive robberies that has
ever occurred there. The property
stolen consists of nearly fourteen
thousand dollars in mortgage notes,
three hundred dollars worth of silver
ware, gold and silver watches and
other articles, of the total value of
about 120.000 dollars, which was
owned by Mrs. Catherine Meyer.
The first intimation the lady had of
her loss, was the receipt of a letter
asking her how much she would give
to recover her property. The matter
was at once put into the bands of
the police, who arrested Markell and
were shown by him where the valua
bles were buried. All were recover
ed, except one watch and some min
or articles of jewelry. Markell, in
default of bail, was committed for
trial. It is thought he will implicate
others in the robbery.
Another Iron Mountain.
Washington, July 10. Judge
George P. Fisher, United States dis
trict attorney for the District of Co
lumbia, yesterday received notifica
tion of his removal from that office
and the appointment of ex-Governor
Wells, of Missouri, as his successor.
The causes of the removal are gener
al complaints regarding Fisher's in
efficiency, and direct charges that he
has kept important cases from the
grand jury, for which it is charged
he has received large bribes. The
latest case iu which his weakness
was shown was in that of the prose
cution of the alleged fraudulent mail
contractors, and it is very generally
believed that with an earnest prose
cution these frauds would have been
completely unearthed, and the rob
bery of the government through the
post-office contracts for carrying the
mails would have been prevented,
in a measure at least. There are
other cases in which it is charged
there ha3 been a manifest reluctance
to prosecute, and notable in the case
of the letter carriers who were charg
ed with purloining or witholding let
ters entrusted to them to be mailed.
These and other matters having been
brought to the attention of the presi
dent, they have finally culminated iu
the removal, as above stated.
