Failure of the Arctic Expedition.—Death of 
Capt. Hall. 
News came on the Oth of the failure or (ho 
Arctic Expedition sent, out by the Govern merit 
under Capt. Mall, and the death of that gallant 
commander. Ho died from a stroke of apo¬ 
plexy on the Htli of October, 1871, while encour¬ 
aging his men In the cabin of the Polaris. Ho 
had just returned from a sledge expedition to 
I lie far north. The Polaris got caught in a drift 
of ice and was lost. ,She hud lost all her boats. 
The men landed provisions on the ice, arid 19 
of them were soon driven to sea on a piece of 
lloe ice twenty yards in diameter* They re¬ 
mained on the ice from the last of August until 
the 1st of April, when they took to boats. They 
were picked up on the noth of April by the 
steamship Tigress, near Wolf Island, -10 miles 
from land, and were carried to Hay Roberts, 
Now Foundland, which t hey readied May 9th. 
The news lias caused deep grief and a profound 
sensation. The talc of suffering is harrowing 
ami lengthy. _ 
Death of John Stuart Mill. 
This eminent English philosopher aud states¬ 
man died In Avignon, Southern France, on the 
9l.ii inst. Ho was born in Loudon, May 80, ifiOli, 
and is known the world over from his many 
works on political economy, social reform, phi¬ 
losophy, logic,etc. For itiyears beheld an office 
in the political department of the India House, 
succeeding to the position held by Ids father, 
who was also a man of eminence. The list, of 
Mr. Mill’s works, which have placed Idm among 
the foremost thinkers of the day, Is too long 
for publication here. In 18fS,> ho was sent to 
Parliament from Westminster, where ho rose 
to great distinction and popularity. His death 
is a great loss to the world of letters and re¬ 
form. He died near the snot where his wife is

BRIEF NEWS PARAGRAPHS. 
Third Assistant Postmaster-Genera! Barber 
recently receiv ed a letter asking whether postal 
cards containing notices of assessment, &o„ 
that have been once properly transmitted 
through the mails and the stamp thereon can¬ 
celed, can, after their being returned to the 
sender in a sealed envelope with the remit¬ 
tance, be transmitted to Hie person originally 
addressed with the word “paid” stamped or 
indorsod t hereon, by placing upon the card a 
one cent adhesive stamp. The Postmaster- 
General, to-day, decided that sue)) cards can be 
so transmitted upon payment of the required 
postage of one cent each. This decision will be 
largely availed of by Masonic and other associa¬ 
tions in the collection of dues and assessments. 
Miss Kellogg did a pleasant thing a few days 
since at (Jin Cuntim-nial Hotel, Philadelphia. 
Having a spare hour, she Invited the servants 
who could lii! spared from their duties to assem¬ 
ble in the ladies' dining-room about nine 
o’clock. She had her music and some musical 
instrument* with her, and played and sang for 
them a choice selection of her best pieces, in- 
terspersingwlth them a number of Irish ballads 
and negro minstrel melodies. It was a very 
graceful act in the great eantatrlee, and is as 
creditable to her generosity ,i* it was enjoyable 
to those who do not often have the good for¬ 
tune to hoar such music sung and played as she 
can do it. 
A Washington telegram says:—Gen. Van 
Huron will certainly be removed, and unless a 
satisfactory successor is selected within a few 
days, t he choice of a man to succeed him will 
undoubtedly be given to Minister Jay. It. is 
ilot improbable that Mr. Thomas MeElrath will 
be appointed. The most active and determined 
efforts will be made by the State "Department 
to retrieve the lost standing of the United 
States at the Vienna Exposition; and to this 
end, the most, rigid rules for the government of 
the American officials will be enforced. 
The President has told the reporter of an 
Omaha newspaper why he did not make his 
proposed Southern trip. Here is the reason : 
“ I expected to go, and was making arrarige- 
( mentis for a trip, lint they noised it abroad and 
made so much preparation that I thought It 
would be too much like swinging around the 
circle. I joined a procession of that kind once." 
Senator Sumner sent the following letter tu 
tho Secretary of the United States Senate on 
Friday“ Please pay Into the Treasury of the 
United States, on my account, the sum of 
$4,444.60, being the allowance to mo of what Is 
known as ‘backpay’ for the XLIId Congress, 
deducting I herefrom the mileage allowed by 
law.” 
The Postmaster-General, to-day, decided that 
Postmasters are not authorized to sell postal 
cards to any person in large quantities or small 
for more or less than one cent each. No dis¬ 
count therefore can be allowed to purchasers 
or agents who desire to keep the cards on hand 
for sale to tho public.

THE SEASON, CROPS, PRICES, ETC. 
BHarUey, Rl. V., May 1.—The winter still lin¬ 
gers in the lap of spring in a most shameful 
milliner: but little plowing has been done and 
no sowing; the ground has been very wet; 
there has not. been over five or six days to plow 
I his spring. Few have done anything at mak¬ 
ing gardens, and (lie prospect for peas jmd po¬ 
tatoes by I he middle of June the time we had 
I lvem last year—Is not very flattering. The cold 
north and north-west winds, for the last two 
weeks, with now and then a snow storm, is not. 
at till favorable to grass; pasture lias started 
but little. I see a number of able, well-to-do 
farmers have turned out I heir cattle rather 
than buy a little corn; most of them have 
plenty of straw; they will have short pasture 
all summer. Wheat is looking very bad ; it lias, 
in a great many eases, drowned out, and does 
not. stand as well on tho ground as it did a 
month ago. The fruit prospect is not at all 
flattering; good judges pm no unco tho poach 
buds all killed; plums and cherries arc but 
little better. Apple trees show no signs of 
leaving out yet. l'igs are very high, selling at 
$3G?4 per head when live weeks old ; the market 
is not overstocked. Take it till together, the 
formers’ prospects arc not very good.—8. c. 
Ferry City, Wood Co., O,, May I .—Wo had a 
long, cold winter, and are having a very back¬ 
ward spring; have had « great deal of rain; the 
roads are almost impassable; lliey never were 
known to he so bad at Ibis time of the year be¬ 
fore. Stock looks quite well; food for stock, 
with the exception of corn, has not been so 
scarce for ten years; but Hide oats have been 
sown, and very little ground Is dry enough to 
plow. Wheat is doing tolerably well; some 
places froze and drowned out badly; peach 
buds all killed, and some trees killed by the 
very cold winter; nurserymen complain of 
heavy losses in trees; grass starts slowly. Tho 1 
past, winter has been very hard on bees; large 
numbers have died ; many people have lost all 
of their bees. St ock is rather low and dull sale, 
with the exception of hogs; milch cows are 
worth from $.35 to $30; cattle, $l/t.4,50 per cwt., i 
live weight ; hogs, $4.50 per cwt.. butter, 25c.; 
eggs. 10c.; lard, 7c.; tallow, 8c.; potatoes, ?5e/o ! 
$1: wheat, $1.35® 1.40; onions, 15c. per quart ; i 
oats, 30@83c.; corn, 3t)@40c.; lime, 15c. per bush.

Strawberries in Maryland und Delaware.— 
The Maryland arid Delaw are growers are antici¬ 
pating such a prodigious yield of strawberries 
that they are casting about for some means to j 
procure assistance to market the crop. The i 
resident labor will be totally inadequate, as it is 
estimated that from 700 to 1,000 more hands will j 
be wanted than l;tst year, when all the available ' 
help was utilized. ; 
Famine in Georgia.—The Georgia Homo Jour- ] 
rial, Madison, Ga., says:—“ We speak deliberate- 
: ly, when we declare that there never was a fair¬ 
er prospect for short rations fur man and beast 
1 in Middle-Georgia than now. The area sown in 
l wheal and oat« small, crops backward and un- 
• promising; stock poor and half fed, on import¬ 
ed corn, and the people crazy on l he subject of 
, cotton. With a mild winter, and curly and 
, promising crop of clover and outs to help make 
, the corn and cotton crop, things would wear a 
r more pleasant aspect. As it is, there Is nothing 
i encouraging in the agricultural outlook in Mid- 
, dlo-Gcorgla. We would urge the importance of 
planting large corn, pea and potato crops. They 
may not come in time to help make the next 
crop, but will contribute to the assistance of 
I man and beast next winter.” . 
(souill Pass, III., April 2*,—Peach trees 
about Centralia almost, all killed ; strawberries 
promise only a third of a crop, owing to the 
ravages of the grub in the crown of the plants. 
Fours in blossom,but few orchards have escaped 
the blight. Here peach trees are not. killed, but 
nearly or quite all of the fruit buds wore killed 
in January, Pears, cherries and apples promise 
a fair crop. There will be a small crop of peach¬ 
es in the orchards thirty miles south of tide 
point. But the fruit prospect Is not brilliant*— f,
