of the Street armed with a double barreled shot¬ 
gun. Dixon halted and placed his hand on lxls pis¬

shoulder. Dixon, seeing this, moved towards a 
stairway, when Barksdale tired, tour buckshot en¬ 
tering Dixon’s back. Dixon then tired several 
times at Barksdale without effect. Barksdale 
missed the second shot. Dixon bled Internally and 
died at 4 :so p. m. The difficulty is represented 
as of a personal nature by Barksdale s mends.

It Is uot uncommon to run against them In the

an order directing a board of Inquiry to con¬ 
sider the positions and handling of troops at the 
battle of Ohickamauga. The dato of the session 
has not yet been decided upon, but It will be at 
the discretion of Gen. Sheridan, and probably 
within a few weeks. The order directs that the

•Mr. Gladstone and Sir Charles Dllke on 
Tuesday night addressed large meetings at Ches¬

prominently forward. 
An asylum for aged domesticated animals has 
just been opened by an Inhabitant of Gonesse, In 
France. It already contains a cow 30 years of age, 
a pig aged 20. and an ls-year-old goat. The senior 
member of this happy family la, however, a mule. 
He Is 4 i> years of age. Next comes a sparrow, 
whose summers number 31 : 2 S years of life have 
been grauled to a goldilnch; and a guinea fowl 
and a goose have respectively reached the ages 
of 12 and 37 years. The bridging of the English 
Channel la seriously proposed by salute Anue, a 
French engineer of good professional standing. 
He proposes 13 build a line of Immensely solid 
stone piers, and on them place sections of girder, 
suspension aud tubular structure, according to 
local requirements. Victoria, Australia, still re¬ 
tains the death penalty tor rape, and the question 
is now whether two youths are to be hanged for 
this offence, of which they are convicted. The 
one who planned the whole thing was at the time 
of the perpetration 14 , the other la. 'The Execu¬ 
tive decided to let the law take Its course, but 
public sentiment compelled a respite. In 23 years 
only one white man has been hanged for this 
offence. •*Disappointed" writes rrom Vevay, 
France, to the London Times, that, driven desper¬ 
ate by the vile weather In England, he had gone 
abroad four weeks before, aud had since experi¬ 
enced but two line days. On all others It rained, 
and, further, was bitterly chilly. "R is a dread¬ 
ful summer,” ho adds, “for hotel keepers aud 
walkers, as snow fell In Ote high mountain locali¬ 
ties only last week. Thermometer, 02 deg. Last 
summer a number of hotels In Switzerland closed, 
owing to the bad swuon, and this year more will 
follow—very few are making their expenses. The 
Lake of Geneva has not been so stormy lor fifteen 
years." 
Lord Carnarvon, while Secretary of Stale, called 
for Information from the colonies as to their tim¬ 
ber supply. During the live years ending 1870 Can¬ 
ada sent England about $120,000,000 of timber. In 
Nova Scotia the approximate amount of Umber- 
producing laud was, In 1 S 75 , computed at 9,000,000 
acres; in Ontario, 30,000 square miles; In Quebec, 
73,711,114 acres; New Brunswick, 0,000,000 ucrca. 
in British Columbia about 110,000,000 acres are 
covered Willi Umber. Newfoundland, too, Is dense¬ 
ly wooded, but forest tires have there, as also to a 
considerable degree in Canada, made serious ln- 
loads. In Natal (Afrloa) the Crown forests have 
for some time been suffering so seriously from the 
depredations of the natives lhaL the 3 urveyor- 
General has absolutely prohibited the use of forest 
lands for the cultivation of crops. It is computed 
that capo colony has between atw and con square 
miles or forest. Betweou Isos and ISIS British 
Honduras sent 3 - 1 ,000,900 foot of mahogany, m 
victoria, Australia, Umber la diminishing far too 
tepidly, and In Western Australia the Governor 
t links that steps must be taken to arrest destruc¬ 
tion. in Queenalaui- an annual license fee is ex¬ 
acted from wood cutters, and officer has been 
appointed to report on the public Umber-producing 
lands, with a view to their conversation. Tas¬ 
mania (Van Dleman’s Land) has about. 8 , 000,000 
acres under Umber, of which amount 1,000,000 are 
in private hands, in Ceylon steps were some time 
since taken to arrest reckless dostruedon. in 
Queensland and South Australia the clearing of 
the forests has produced no effect whatever on the 
rainfall. In St. Helena, on the other baud, where 
the destruction of the trees shortly after coloniza¬ 
tion or the island was followed by a succession of 
severe and destructive droughts, now that the 
forests have been allowed to grow again, there has 
been much less trouble on that score. The climate 
of Jamaica Is reported much drier of late years in 
the south side of the island, where the greatest 
clearances have been made. Gen. Gun bald l’s 
condition has improved. A despatch from Berlin 
says that Gen. Ignatlcff will replace Gen. Todleben 
as Governor-General of Odessa, and that Todleben 
wilt become Governor-General of Poland. The 
Dlrlto announces that a recent meeting of the 
Cardinals, at which the Pope was present, dis¬ 
cussed a proposal to ask the Italian Government 
to restore the PantJieon to the Holy See. 
Flooded partridge nests will make the English 
shooting poor this year. Shouting won’t be gen¬ 
eral until Michaelmas (Sept. 29 ), Instead of Sept. 1 . 
The Duke or Sutherland has permitted the exhi¬ 
bition on hLs grounds In London of a portable rail¬ 
road, said to be of extraordinary value In war. It 
Is also specially designed for fanning operations— 
saving labor In heavy carting. The Mark Lane 
Express observes that farmers who propose to act 
on Lord Derby’s recipe (emigration) for the cure of 
agricultural depression, will read with Interest In 
the Toronto Mall: “Mr. W. Weld, editor of the 
Farmers’ Advocate, who Is at present In Manitoba, 
telegraphs that the destitution there Is rearful. 
and that many are walking back to Ontario.’' 
The special Parliament or Landtag for the king¬ 
dom or Prussia will. It is generally believed, be dis¬ 
solved in September, and already much curiosity, 
and even anxiety, Is felt as to lls party composi¬ 
tion. At the close of the last session the relative 
strength of the several political parties stood thus: 
The total number or representatives In the 
Chamber or Deputies was 432 . of these les were 
National Liberals, 03 Progressists; Liberals (simp¬ 
ly), 12 ; Centre, SO; Conservatives of all sections, 
93; Poles, 15; Danes, 2 . Thus the united Liberal 
votes were 243, or 20 more than the absolute ma¬ 
jority of the Chamber. Even If the recent alliance 
between me conservatives and the Centre be con¬ 
tinued and extended to the Landtag, they will 
have between them to gain 45 seats In order to gain 
a bare majority. From 1870 to 1873 the Conserv¬ 
atives, who have now only 83 seat In the House, 
had 107.

It Is generally admitted tliat there 
cannot be anything more exquisitely delicate 
for perfuming the handkerchief than Murray & 
Lanman’s Florida Water ; but its great and dis¬ 
tinctive property Is Its adaptability to the uses of 
the bath. It is the only perfume we know of es¬ 
pecially ana particularly suited to use in this way. 
The power It has of Imparting to the waters of the 
bath great soothing, refreshing, and Invigorating 
effects, Is peculiar to Itself.

This Was severely the case in larger sizes of Mixons

up baskets. Prices . pened low, but not low enough 
to prevent a surplus that had to be sold at buyers'

1 lie crop advices so f«r received indicate »s fol¬ 
lows ; In New Jersey the vine worm, drought and 
rot have caused much damage, snd the probabilities 
are that the crop will be light, perhaps uot larger 
than that of lust year. Capo Cod reports that from, 
drought and worms have done some injury, but the 
crop promises to equal that of last year If uothxng 
seriously adverse occurs between the present time 
and harvesting. Massachusetts and Rhode Island 
report* are rnuen the same as those from the Cape. 
Taking tbe whole Of New England, It is probable 
that tbe crop will be larger than that of last year 
but not so large as that of two years ago. Wlscoii 
BIU advices Were generally lavor..bl« lor a large

arrivals (with the exception oi Faulllo coast hops) 
are of medium aud low grades, the natural result is 
that tho market for such 1 * u shade easier. The re¬ 
ported Improvement of crap prospects in New York 
state and Europe may have an effect on the value of 
the new crop, but until the entire harvest Is secured 
and the result positively known, Rule apprehension 
need befell as to the value of tbe few prime 1878 
hops remaining, while older growths and poor grades 
already feel the effect.
