The Merchants' bank of Water town, New York, closed its doors the other day, entirely suspended payments. Capital, $230,000. The deposits reached $700,000.

It i claimed that the snow is a providen tial one for the lumber interests in Minnesota. Mr. WiNGFELD.a republican, here tofore acting with the democrats and bolting readjusters in the Vir ginia legislature, voted on the 17th inst., with the readjusters, giving the last named again control of the legislature. Mrs. Scoville, sister of Guitean, has written a long letter to Mrs. Garfield, asking that lady to forgive her brother for the killing of Presi dent Garfield, as at the time her brother was insane and knew not what he did. All members of the cabinet were present at the meeting held on the 13th, except Attorney General Brew ster. The President gave two hours' consideration to the Fitz John Por ter case, the majority opposing his re-instatement. The snow in Nova Scotia has de moralized the mail service. No mails have been received in Halifax since the 30th ult. The city delivery in most cases, is being made on snow shoes. Some of the drifts are from 25 to 30 feet high. The house committee on agricul ture have agreed to report favorably a bill to make the agricultural de partment an executive department, and itK chief a cabinet officer, and the friends of the bill are confident that it will pass congress. The first vessel out of the Chicago port since navigation closed last fall left on the night of the 13th for Mus kegon, and will bring back a load of lumber. This iB put down as the earliest opening of navigation ever known in Chicago. Father O'Fabell, of Mon mouth, III., suicided the other night by cutting his throat. He had been an invalid for two years and not be ing able to obtain relief, his mind became unsettled, causing him to commit the act. What was the finest street in the City of Haverhill, Mass., last week and the principal business portion, is to-day in ruins. Two thousand people are out of employment and several families are homeless. The loes is estimated at $2,000,000. Nothing has been heard of the whereabouts of Navin, the abscond ing Mayor of Adrian, Mich., who was implicated in the issue of fraud ulent bonds of that city. Jewell, the ex-Treasurer, is still in jail, and his creditors have seized upon his store. It is reported in some of the local papers of Illinois that the governor of that state has received informa tion from the southern part of the state that women and children are dying from starvation on account of the failure of the crops in that region. A recent report comes from Co lumbus, Ohio, that ex-State Senator Benson of Cardington, has been missing several days, and- fears are entertained that he has been foully dealt with. He went on a cattle purchasing trip. He had about $400 with him. Another cabinet meeting has been held relative to Fitz John Porter's case, and it has been decided the on ly legal redress is for the President to pardon him, thus removing his disqualifications from holding office and then restore him to the army by nomination to the senate. A' freshet waa'prevailing on the Delaware river last week at Boren town, N. J., the docks and piers being submerged. The Pennsyl vania shore on the opposite side was also under water. Considerable damage will be done if the water goes higher at the next tide. The board of trade at Chicago, on the 14th, had a great day. No les" than 4,000.000 bushels of wheit and 5,000,000 of other grain were pold, being the greatest day on record. The excitement continued -during the day with wildly fluctuating mar kets. Two women were run over and killed the other evening while walk ing on the Bee Line track near Brightwood, Ind. Their bodies were mutilated almost beyond rec ognition. The names of the women were Catherine Doty and Jnlia Sennett. The committee of the Maryland legislature to locate the-boundary of Maryland and Virginia, visited the Virginia legislature last week and were received with distinguished honors. An effort will now be madn for a permanent settlement of the question. Miss Flora Foster, for thirty-six years matron of the Tombs prison. New York city, died on the 14th, of acute pneumonia. She was 75 years old, and was born in Ireland. Her hiBtory is largely connected with that of female criminals of New York city. Senator Van Wyck is apparently doing a good work in his raid against- the surveyors of public lands. When the General gets after man, he "goes for all that's out," and he must be honest or ver war', if the General don't "bring him up standing." The eight Tammany members voted with the republicans last weelc against Brooks's (regular democrat) motion to delay the election of clerk and action was proceeded with, re sulting in the election of E.M. John son, republican, and clerk of the last assembly. Thus breaking the dead lock in the N. Y. Assembly. Agent Lemar came in the other day from the northern part of Wy oming, and roports that the Indians are running off stock and otherwise creating trouble, although no one is known to have been killed. It is fear ed that the depredations will result in a clash with the military, as the In dians are reported to be very obsti nate. Gen. Sherman, accompanied by Gen. Pope and Col. Morrow, will soon make a tour of inspection ol the departments of Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, visiting the principal posts on the frontier of those states. A visit is also con templated to the Yosemite valley and San Francisco. The trip will occupy some time. The President gave a state' dip lomatic dinner on the evening of the 16th. The state dining room was opened for the first time during the administration. The president escorted Miss Frclinghuysen. The heads of legation with their wives only were invited. The floral dec orations exceeded anything ever seen at the White House. A correspondent of the Rising Independent says: "I would say to all farmers to read the Omaha Bee and to keep the name of Ed ward Rosewater before the public for United States senator. He is an earnest man in auytbing he believes to bo right, and will stand by it to the last." Senator Saunders will have to keep an eye on his rival. The polygamy bill was passed on the 16th in the Senate. The gallery applauded. The chair expressed amazement at the noise, but did not clear the galleries. The provisions of the bill are quite lengthy, but mean business by striking at the root of the evil, and If strictly en forced will end in the breaking up of the abominable system with all its collateral evils. The senate on the 15th took up the judiciary committee bill for the suppression of polygamy in Utah. One new section was adopted which provides that any man cohabiting with more than one woman shall be fined $300, or imprisoned for six months, or both, for each and every offense. The bill will doubtless pass the senate as there is scarcely any opposition to the measure. Enos Sylvester, of Providence, R. I., conceiving the idea that God demanded the sacrifice of his infant son, built the other night a pyre of wood in his house, saturated it with oil, bound bis infant son, placed the child upon the pyre, while be him self knelt down to offer up a prayer for a blessing on the innocent sac rifice. Just before applying a match to the pile he was discovered and arrested. G. H. Wagner, living near Mif flin, Pa., a well-to-do farmer, receiv ed two or three weeks since a letter warning him that his property would be destroyed, and himself shot. He paid very little attention to the mat ter, but on the night of the 14th, bis barn was fired in two placep, and it and contents destroyed, loss $3,500. Shots were heard on the mountain, supposed to come from the parties who find the barn. Senator Saunders reported favor ably the bill from the committee on Indian affairs for the sale of the re mainder of the reservation of the Otoe and Missouri tribes in Nebras ka and Kansas. The main provi sions of the bill provide for the sale and payment of incidental expenses, the balance 'of the proceeds to be placed to the credit of the tribes in the U. S. treasury and bear 5 per cent, interest per annum, the income to be annually expended for their benefit. The Kansas City police frustrated the contemplated robbery the other night of the Missouri Pacific train due iu that city, by the arrest of Jas. Noonan, Thos. O'Shea, Pat Kanley and Peter Specr the other three persons engaged in the plan to rob the train, mado good their escape. Those captnred admit that they in tended to commit the robbery as charged, aud have given the officers full details of their plans. A most shocking murder was com mitted the other day in Newport, Ohio, by Elder Harmon, who be came angered at his Uncle John Harmon, who is nearly 80 years of age, and began a brutal assault with a club, dealing him blow after blow, crushing his skull and pounding his face into a jelly. The murderer, who is only 20 years old, left his victim and fled the country. He became angry with his uncle because the latter charged him with laziness. It appears that the bottom drop ped out of the star route cases on trial at Lincoln last week in the U. S. district court, principally because Clary refused to answer questions on the ground that the answer might tend to criminate himself, in which opinion the court concurred, and said he should not be compelled to answer. The jury, under instruc tions, brought in a verdict acquitting Corbin aud Iddings of conspiracy, so the indictment against C'ary for conspiracy goes by the board. The terrible explosions that oc curred the other day at Chester, Pa. dealt out death and destruction among her citizens at a fearful rate and by the score. The explosion and fire destroyed the military academy, followed the alarm of fire in Jack son's fire works and magazines, and when the crowd was gathered, another explosion, more terrific than the first, occurred. The scene was horrible, and the firemen were scat tered in every direction, many of them with their bodies mangled be yond recognition. John Lanahan, a farmer living in Clay county, a short distance from Sibley, Iowa, while sitting in bis room, the other evening was shot aud killed by his eldest daughter Maggie, who has since made con fession that she did the shooting. She also implicates her mother, her sister Anna, and the latter's lover, a young man named Birch. The verdict of the coroner's jury was in accordance with the above facts. The accused parties are all under arrest and waived an examination, and were held to await the action of the grand jury. The following nominations were sent to the senate on the 14th : L. D. E. R. Du verges, of Maryland, consul at St. Paul ; E. H. Nevin, Jr., surveyor of customs for the district of Philadelphia; J. R. Jotty, collect or of customs for the district of Techeha; August Seymour, U. S. iudge of the Eastern district of North Carolina; W. W. Postan, at torney for the Western district of Tennessee.; A. McLain, attorney for the Middle district of Tennessee; M. M. Drew, marshal for the dis trict of California ; H. M. Van Arn am, of California, secretary of the territory of Arizona. The Ulysses Dispatcli has a lengthy article concerning out "float" repre sentative, Hon. J. C. Robberts, and Senator Evans, both of Bntler coun ty, in which we find the following emphatic sentences : "Did the constituents of Jake Robberts desire him to sneak away from the halls of the state legislature three minutes before it was time to vote on Senate file No. Ill a bill to fix a maximum standard of freight charges on railroads, and to prevent unjust discrimination therein and then come home aud tell them he was s-i-c-k! and with the liver com plaint at that! Did the majority of his constituents wish him to dodge the temperance bill by playing off s-i-c-k! . Did the constituents of Arthur J. Evans expect him to vote against the passage of the Well" bill reducing passenger rates io three cents per mile, and which bill would have passed and become a law had he voted for it there being a tie vote in the Senate and a majority of the House in favor of its passage?' The House on the lGlh resumed the consideration of the apportion ment bill. A vote was taken on Mr. Anderson's amendment providing for 325 members of the House ap portioned by the old method, and it was adopted by a vote of 102 yeas to 104 n ay s. This bill gives Nebraska three representatives. It gives one additional member each to Arkan sas, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Vir ginia and Wisconsin; two each to California, Iowa, Nebraska, Michi gan, Minnesota and South Carolina; four to Kansas, and five to Texas, and reduced the membership of Maine, New Hampshire and Ver mont one each. On the vote for the amendment of Mr. Auderson 266 of the 293 members voted. Of the re publicans voting, all voted aye ex cept Mr. White (Ky.) ; of democrats voting, all voted no except Messrs. Aiken, Bcltzhoover, Bragg, Colbert eon, Davidson, Dempster, E51i3, Fin loy, Evius, Hoblitzee, Jones (Texas), McLaue, Rice .(Mo.), Richardson, Robertson, Speer, Upson, Wellborn 21 in all. The press of Chicago do not speak in the most flattering terms of the appearance of Mr. Oscar Wilde, or hi ability as a lecturer. The Her ald says: "To those who had read Ruskiu, Mr. Wilde's language and ideas were 'like water after wine.' But when he claims that be and his silly followers are to be credited with any revival or reform, and calls into his assistance all the vulgar tricks of advertising known to the most unscrupulous showman, he brings true art into contempt. But his lecture makes the apostle of sitheticism as a. clever mountebank, willing to do anything for the al mighty dollar, which he affects to despise. His shamming is becoming too evident." The Journal guesses that this is juat about Oscara measure. A wonderful surgical operation was recently performed by Dr. Wm. Goodell at the university hospital, Philadelphia, in removing a tumor from a woman 31 years of age, the mother of three children. The ovarian tumor made its appearance nine years ago, and from the start grew with amazing rapidity. After a successful operation and removal of the tumor, it was placed on the scales and weighed 112 pounds the largest, it is believed, ever removed from a human being. Subsequently the patient was gently lifted to the scales, and was found to weigh only 75 pounds, or 37 pounds less than the mass just taken from her body. Dr. Goodell, when the woman had been carefully placed in bed, expressed the belief that she would live, al though reduced to a mere skeleton, and hanging to life by the veriest thread. TR.
