The accident to the steam-r Atlantic,
which suuk near Halifax, is jot simply
horrible.
The Captain is b'au.td by many au
thorities, the company by others, and
th ship pronounced unsafe by still an
other party. One tbiux is certain, sach
accidents thould n-1 be allowed to occur.
That a new staunch ship, should go t
pieces in Qfteen minutes is unaccounta
ble, if she was properly built.
Give as the o!d: fashioned ood n
ships. Cast iron is good for stoves, but
poor material to build ships of.
"Another thing, there are no more sail
ors now-a-days ; the time of apprentice
ships has gone by ; there is do school fur
educating sadors any more. Crews are
picked up f'rota the riff raff and .-emu of
the docks, and when a moment of great
p' Til arrives they have nt ithtr the meu
tal or phyMcal stamina to be of much
service. Want of thorou2i discipline
allows the decks to be crowded, and the
operations of the seamen to be inter
fered with. Taken all in all tome very
severe measures must bs taken by Gov
ernments to render ocean travel more
secure.

We see by the "Turf, Field and
Farm," that our old friend, Ben. Akers,
of Leavenworth is in trouble. The old
Jennison charges are renewed and put into
the shape of sworu affidavits. If Mr.
Jennison 8 charges are proven true it
will drive Akers from the trotting field
and ppoil the chances of three of his
best horses.
Farmers and Grunge men, stick to

conservative, co-operative plan, and go

When you transplant trees, he sure to
shorten them in. The roots should not
be shortened in, but the tops sAoufd.be
shortened in. ' ' . "
One year-agU I transplanted large ap
ple trees. Some of them eight years old,
and large. I cut off the tree about fiv
feet from the root, and every branch
from the body. So that when planted
they resembled a row of stakes. Every
one of them lived, aud grew well, and
now have beautif ul tops.

e have received the Turf, Field

The Turf, Field t and Farm contains

They are in a bad fix in New York on
light. All the gas laborers have
"fitruck." A telegram April 6th, says :
The city below Grand street is in total
darkness. Orders have been sent to
private consumers to turn off their gas
so that the streets and public offices may
be sopplied. The Stadt Theater was
left in darkness in the midst of a pei
formaqce, and the uewspapcr and ex
press offices wore using lamps and can
dles to eke out wi;h.
It seems almost impossible to get the
positive and true account of the hite
changes in the Postal law. If, as re
ported, it does away with free exchanges
and free1- connty circulation, it is a blow
at the weaker class of papers, and a di
rest stab at the 'ree circulation of intel-
igence and news among the people.
It is a measure tending to increase th
emoluments of the rich an 1 powerful,
and retard the progress of the weak and
helpless. It will cut short the means of
information of the small county papers
without rsally benefitting the great dai
lies, bt?cau-ie, when their news sources
are cut off they will become tame and
less thought after. -
It 6eems a foolish and useless piece of
work, whatever shape the bill finally
turns out to be in.

The steamship Atlantic, of the White
Star line, from Liverpool, March 20th,
for New York, ran ashore the 2d day of
April, on Meagher's Head, about twenty
miles from Halifax. She bad on board
ovr one thousand men, women and
children. Three hundred were saved.
The disaster is traced to the carrying of
insufficient coal for a voyage of morethau
ten or twelve days. The steamer struck
about two o'clock in the morning, and

when he begins, or bow the words look

some cf the passengers who were re
cued, afterwards perished from the e
feet of fright and exposure. A large
portion of the enrgo will be saved.
Harrowing details of the scenes en
acted on the fated ship, are given.
Most of the women were drowned in
their birtLs the heavy seas which con
stantly poured over the vjssel, prevent
ing them from reaching the deck. One
woman, who rook to the rigging and was
lashed there to keep from being swept
away, froze to death.
Ouly one child was saved, a boy of
twelve years ; his parents and a young
brother were drowned. Ona man was
rescued with both legs broken. Many
who had life buoys, by reason of their
not beipg properly adjusted, were
drew aed. ' .

for the a sertiou of a Liberal journal as

that Mr. Bichardtton'g appointment was

It "is fun to see the Ooiaki Herald
diddle along behind the Chicago Times
and Tribune. To savt their precious
railroad monopolies, these fine thinkers
have suddenly promulgated the theory
that it is the tariff that makes railroad
freights so hith, and very coolly p.-opo

grievances about the discrimination on
freights, and go for a r?peal of the tariff
