NEWS BY TELEGRAPE.

UNITED STATES. Woopvitte, N. H., July 15.

A terrific thunder storm, with high winds and hail, swept over the village this even- ing ; hail-stones fell the size ot hen’s eggs. Several houses were unroofed and sheds blown down, «nd there is sca*cely e house in the town but had its windews broken in. Crops of all kinds were. cut down and spoiled ; damages very heavy.

Unica, N. Y., July 15.

A meteor of great br ‘ancy passed through the northern sky “>. 1 west to east at 12.10 this morning.

Mer: ‘s, July 15.

The city is quiet. No new cases of fever are reported.

New Grleans has rescinded its quarantine regulations against this city.

New York, July 15.

This afternoon the jury in the trial of Chastine Cox, for the murder of Mrs. Hull, was completed and sworn in. The Court was adjourned until to-morrow, when the District Attorney opens for the prosecu- tion.

PortsviLLE, Pemn., July 15.

Fire was discovered at six o'clock this evening issting from the slope at Provost's Colliery, Centralia. In a short time a breaker, which cost $150,000, was entirely destroyed. The entire loss will probably be a quarter of a million. Three hundred and fitty men are thrown eut of work.

GREAT BRITAIN. Lonpon, July 15.

In the Commens, te-day, Sir Stafford Northcote said the bill relating to elections and corrupt practices ought te be considered before the dissolution of Parliament, but he doubted whether. it.could be censidered during the present. session.

The Western Dis‘rict Bank at Barrow-in- Furness has stopped payment. -Liabilities, £40,000. The creditors will be paid in full.

Robert Udall & Son, merchants, ef Man- chester, have failed ; liabilities £45,000.

Mr. Tennant (Liberal) has been elected to the Commons from Glasgow, without opposition, in place of Alexander Whitlay (Conservative), recently deceased.

THE PANAMA CANAL SCHEME. Wasuineton, July 15.

A confidential friend of Gen. Grant says that he will not accept the Presidency of the Lessep’s Panama Canal Company.

FRANCE. Paris, July 15.

The budget committee of the Deputies and the Senatorial committee pronounced in favor of France taking an acti¥e part in the opening up of Central Africa. A com- mission to examine the project for uniting Algeria and Bengal to Soudan railway was appointed.

GERMANY. Ber.in, July 15.

The bill in the Bundesrak, which pro- poses to substitute biennial meetings of Par- liainent and biennial budgets, has created considerable sensation, as tending to fur- ther free the Government from Parlia- mentary control. The reason alleged for the change is the inconvenience of dis- cussing two budgets, Prussian and Im- perial,in the same year. The creation of a department for the control of Imperial railways is also regarded as a step towards rendering the Government less dependent on Parliament.

EASTERN AFFAIRS. Lonpon, July 15. The Circass’ans are terror: ‘ng the dis- trict of Adabazar on the east coast of the Sea of Marmora, by murdering and black- mailing the inhabitants.

THE NEW CANADIAN LOAN. Lox >on, July 15.

Agricultural Prospects in England.

Mr. J. J. Mechi, writing on the above subject, says :—‘‘ We have the old story over again —low temperature, flooding downpours, no sunshine, no ripening, crops late. I passed through 70 miles of Essex this week. Barleys were distressingly yel- low and waterlogged. Both wheat and barley fields were bright with crops of char- lock (wild mustard) in full bloom. Hand- hoeing has been impessille, so weeds are supreme, and the laborers’ earnings have} been small. Sheep still suffer from wet jacket and damp’ beds. Uncovered farm- yards and exposed Cungheaps are contribut- ing their ‘strong tea’ abundantly to the brooks and watercourses. Well-drained farms, with covered homesteads and horse- hoed crops, have many advantages this year; but on all farms a more ripening ¢on- dition is required. On the,whole, the out- look is at present gloomy and unprofitable; but we should not despair.”

MisceHaneous News.

A New York policeman has been indicted fer burglary.

Six hundred Mermons, mostly women, arrived in New York on Wednesday, en route to Utah.

Rev. D. D. Currie, the new editor of the Wesleyan, previous to leaving Moncton, was presented with an address and a purse con- taining $50.

A correspondent of the Halifax Herald has been introduced te a young ledy at Vale Colliery, N. §S., the smallest woman it is se‘d in the provinces. Her height is 39 inches; weighs only 24 lbs., and is in her 16th year.

Up to the first of this month an improve- ment is noted in the shipments of lumber from Ottawa. This year 26,000,000 feet has been sent away, while only 21,000,000 feet had been shipped during the same period of last year.

The custom receipts at New York for the month of June,1879,were $7,559,825. 75--an increase of $1,363,190.20 over those of June 1878. This looks like a greater demand for goods, consequent upon business im- provement.

Sqnire Applegate, of Sharon,Penn., done what he could to make marriage easy. In the country papers his advertisement ran : ‘‘No license required. Parents’ consent not wanted. On the Fourth of July Squire Applegate will remain at home for che pur- pose of marrying all persons from Ohio who may desire his services. Strict secrecy maintained if required.”

In an out-of-the-way town in New Hamp- shire lives an eccentric old farmer who found his cellar stairs hard to climb on ac- count of the he ght of the steps. After éareful consideration hé “hit upon'the de- vice of nailing a piece of ‘two-inch plank on each, in ordes, as he said, to,‘‘ bring ‘em nearer together;” and contended that he noticed ‘* a leetle tetch of improve- ment.”

A Wonperrut Lovomorive.—As an in- stance of the enormous amount of work a railway locomotive can be made to dounder

vod care, it may be stated that the G. T. 2. Baldwin locometive,driver, J. Renwick, has been out since the Ist of March, 1875 to the 4th July, 1879, and ran 205,000 miles during that period, without general repairs. This is believed to be the greatest number of miles ever run by an engine without thorough overhauling.— Toronto Mail.

Tue Late Prixcess Atice.—The cast for the monument to the Princess Alice—com- missioned by the Queen to Mr. Beehm for the Mausoleum at Frogmore—promises well. The Princess_lies as in sleep, her head thrown back on a high pillow support- ed on either side by little angels the lower part of the figure being draped and swathed by the heavy folds of a mantle bordered with ermine. With her left arm the Princess embraces her child, who is placed at her side, resting her head on her, mother’s breast and extending her. left hand to meet the caress of her mether’s right. This group, which is to be executed im Marble, will be supperted on a_ base enriched by a band of delicate Renaissance arabesque crowning the pedestal, which is divided by fluted palisters into three compartments. The general cffect of this part of the work will be much varied by the employment of colored marbles.

Denmark threatens to prove a formidable rival to Canada and the United . States in the live stock trade with England, The Scandinavian cattle exhibited at the New- castle wholesale market have represented of late more than two-thirds of the beasts offered for sale. The quality of them may be judged from the fact that considerable sales were made for the southern markets, to which none but the best sorts are sent. A quantity of stock is now fed on the best pastures in Denmark for the English mar- kets. When prices are pretty stiff, the Danish cattle steamers, instead of waiting for cargoes of coals or goods, run ont of northen ports in ballast, and return with a fresh supply in a marvellously short space of time. In fine weather Copenhagen and the adjacent ports sending cattle to New- castle are as near to it as Aberdeen is for the same purvose. Farmers in the north reckon upon chis trade as thoroughly estab- lished, and as a grewing one, too.

There was a snowstorm in Portland, Maine, on the Fourth, although the inhab- itants of every other American city were suffering from heat. The signal service di- recters explain this remarkable sneteoro- legical phenomenon in this way : Artificial snow may be formed in a warm room, the air of which has become saturated with moisture from the breath or any cause, by suddenly admitting a current of cold dry air. Shortly before 5 o’clock a cloud was observed rising from the south. At the same time another rose from the aorth- west. The current of wind which bore this along was cold, while the opposing current was warm and saturated with vapour. These two intermingled, and the effect was to form crystals of snow. The preceding heat and dryness of the day also helped to produce this result. The barometer was | very low at the time, and the thermometer dropped 15 degrees in ten minutes.
