for the employment of women is the contemplated Horticultural School in the neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, mention of which is made in many of our Eastern exchanges. There is to be a farm of twenty acres five to be used for the cultivation of flowers, fruits, salads, and such vegetables as are suitable to be cultivated by females the remainder to be devoted to pasturage a dwelling house to accommodate thirty inmates a barn, for the stock and a plant house, for fancy flowers and early vegetables. Thirty thousand dollars are needed to start the the project, which is announced to be in the best hands. It is intended to instruct the pupils in horticulture, and in all kinds of housework, and,lecturers on these and other congenial subjects will be employed from time to time.

the gratifying intelligence that Secretary ifcoBESON has decided to appoint a board Qf six officers in the navy, three of whom will be from the line and three from the .Staff, to meet and! adjust the di(Terences of opinion between the line and staff officers as to their rank. This question has given rise to so much bickering and jealousy among navy officers as at times to seriously impair the efficiency of the service.

It now threatens to be a source of debate in Congress, and various officers are preparing to have their Congressional friends enter the arena and widen the breach as "much as possible by acrimonious discussions and criminations. This board will be soon called together and try to reconcile the disputed issue and if they succeed, as it is confidently believed they will, their report will be embodied by the Secretary of the Navy in his annual report to Congress, and no doubt will be treated as a finality by both the Navy Department and Congress.

THE DAILY EXPRESS

Our readers are familiar with all the facts connected with the case of this ERNEY,

who seems to enjoy, in so high a

degreee, the confidence of the Sheriff of Vigo county. They know for what awful and startling crime he was sentenced to "thirty days in the county jail!" They know that, were his sentence rigidly executed,he, the guilty author of that crime, would not endure a hundredth part of the suffering that he inflicted on his inpoeent victim. In view of all the circumstances connected wtth this affair, the Sheriff grossly outrages the moral sentiment of this community by selecting

are many indications, not of

the most pleasing character, of along and severe winter. East and West, weather unusually cold for this time of the year prevails. In Maine and Vermont the snow is now two feet deep, and it has fallen very heavily as far South even as Vir ginia. In our own immediate vicinity within the last few days, ice has formed to the thickness of several inches and the atmosphere has been cold enough for Jan' uary. To the fortune-favored class of our community the rigors of winter have no terrors luxuriously housed, clothed and ed, they regard the season as one only of in creased gaiety and emjoyment, but to that other class, among whom are not only the hereditary pauper, but many others whom sickness or want of employment has reduced to abject want, there will be in the rapid approach of a hard and lingering winter only increased suffering for themselves and their families. This class is unfortunately a large one at present, and it will become those whose means are abundant to give their aid to their less favored neighbors.

As a general rule the worthiest class of the poor embraces those who are always slow to demand charity from either individuals or societies, their instincts leading them to suffer rather than to beg. Many of these will endure and make no sign, no matter how bitter the cold or poignant the hunger and all such,whom untoward circumstance has reduccd to want, should be sought out by the benevolent and their suffering relieved with as little ostentation as possible. They will be found oftenest among working men and women out of work, and to whom employment will be truer and more acceptable charity than the most delicately bestowed alms.

DOUBTFUL DIAMONDS.

What Has Become of the Big Anstra lian Stone.

From tbo Now York Evening Post.] Some years ago a story was invented that in digging the Mont Cenis tunnel the laborers suddenly broke into a cavern which was one blaze of light from countless diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and other precious stones—these widely-differing gems having huddled together, as snakes of various kinds sometimes do in caves where they hibernate in cold weather. This extraordinary story was not only widely copied in this country, but it was repeated in continental journals, and found thousands of believera. Indeed, such stories are generally believer people like to believe in all tales of wonderful treasure finding Aladdin's lamp and the wonders it performed, as veritable history to children under twelve years of age, and children of larger growth believe in the gem cavern of Mont Cenis, and the pots of gold which are turned up every week in the wilds of Texas.

And now all England, that is, the credulous part of it, is excited over the alleged discovery in Australia of a diamond weighinfi one thousand one hundred carats, which is considerbly larger than the Kohinoor was before it was cut, and is almost equal to the Russian crown jewel, the "Braganza," which last some people suppose mav not be a diamond, but a white topaz, if it is geuuine it is worth, at the usual rate of computation for such jewels, $28,000,000 and the newly-found Australia diamond, if a diamond, is worth at the same rate more than $18,000,000. But at latest accounts this diamond, though "found," had not been "made a note of1' from actnal inspection by any jeweler or other expert, in Sidney. It is "on the way" to that place, and is delayed possibly for want of relays of oxen to drag the stone or the tale of it. It is not unusual to find diamonds, small ones, in gold-bearing regions, t\ie gems convenixiting tnemse ings, and a few have unquestionably been Touud since 1866 in Australia.

It is alleged that one claim in Australia turned out one hundred and nieteen diamonds last July btit the stone then alleged to have been found as larjje as a turkey's egg, and another weighing five and a half carats, have both mysteriously disappeared. The fresh discoveries now look as if the gold yield was becoming short, and'something was needed to stimulate immigration for this will be the inevitable, if not deliberately intended, effect of reported diamond discoveries in that region.

THE SIEGE OF VALENCIA. A Church Wonder or Miracle.

Valencia Correspondence N. Y. Herald.1 The convent cf Sang Gregorio was well garrisoned by insurrectionists, and, therefore, being a conspicuous mark to cannon and musketry, suffered very badly. A shell went ripping through the great door and smashed it in pieces, passing through the portal, just as you entered the church, in a niche, was a wooden statue of the Virgin, holding the child Jesus in her arms, smiling graciously upon all who were accustomed to enter ihe church. The portals of the convent were visited by ugly messenger?, of destruction in the shape of shells—probably a score of them— which plowed their way through and through the convent. The portal was also a target for nearly a hundred rifles, which vomited their pellets for nearly nine days. The solid buttresses, piers of the front, were mercilessly dealt with the great oaken door was smashed, and what remained of it was riddled like aseive the wreathed pillars of the portal disfigured every stone within and without the portal had been marked by numbers of bullets. The engratled edges of the niche in which the wooden oidolon of the Blessed Virgin and Child appeared as if bitten by pinchers the bullets had even glanced off and blurred the niche back of the statue, but the smiling Virgin and happy-lookine Child were not tgnched. And, lo! Valencia has another wonder which attracts the insurgent and loyal monarchist to gaze upon and adore The monks make a fine thing out of it, and the ^fiune of this wonderfhl Virgin and Child is spreading over Spain, and soon We snail hear that it is the recipient of disUnofads, gold crowns «nd rich tissues.

From the Toledo (0.) Commercial.] On Monday afternoon a heartrending accident occurred a few miles below the city. There has been a skiff ferry running between Manhattan and the iron works on the opposite side of the river. At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, on Monday last, four women, three men, and a boy—started from Manhattan across the river. The boat also contained some meat, flour and groceries. It was loaded down to within a few inches of the dipping point, yet it was not deemed unsafe,

When the heivily-loaded boat reached the east channel of the river, the waves were running quite high, and it filled with water. The man having charge of the boat, Mr. Rober Tennant of Manhattan, and Ellen L. Nims and Jennette Allen, of this city, were drowned.

Mr. C. W. Allen, the uncle of Jennette, was standing on the shore, about fifteen rods distant, when the boat swamped, and Tennant shouted to him for assistance.— Jennette clung to Mr. T., and Mr. Allen heard him tell her to let go and he' could save her, but in her fright she would not let go her grasp, and the two went down together. Mr. Allen did all in his power to get assistance to those in the water, Skiffs were procurred and sent out, and a sailboat also went to their rescue. One skiff picked up a woman to whom the boy was clinging, and the other woman was picked up by another skiff. The two men clung to the boat, one on each side, and they were picked up by the sailboat. The two women and the boy were almost perished when rescued.

The water at the point where the skiff swamped is about twenty feet deep, and the bodies of the drowned were not recovered until yesterday forenoon.

MissNim8 was twenty-nine years of age, and Miss Allen sixteen. Mr. Tennant leaves a wife and three children.

its conduct superior to others, so that its arrogant and supercillious assumption of superiority is not among its virtues.

The venerable old head of the concern remains for the most part at home on Fith avenue, and the charge is left with the young un, whose time is spent chiefly in Europe, and the probabilities are that no amount of paternal anxiety or discipline will ever convert that inflated young aristocrat into a business man competent to fill the bluff, shrewd old Scotchman's shoes, as a conductor of a newspaper. People who visit New York are struck with the air of business and the immense activity necessarily pervading the office, but none who have- occasion to do business with it can have failed to remark the tone of arrogant puppyism that inspires every emyloye about it, from the negro usher to tie editor. No one ever obtains a really civil answer from any
