Spbtnofield, May 28,?The French
Catholic Church at South Holyoke
burned to-day. A candle on the altar
fired the drapery; most of those in the
body of the church escaped; those in tho
gallery mostly perished. The service
had nearly closed and vespers were being
sung. There was but one exit from the
gallery, which extended around the
building. There were 700 worshippers
present, seventy-five of whom perished.
r The efforts of the poople to get into the
church to rescue their friends increased
a the confusion and added to tho disaster.
I Personal violence had to bo used in sevo
v ral instanoea to keep women from rush?
ing into.the flames to save children. The
church was established seven years ago.
The parish inoluded all the French Ca?
tholics in the vicinity, numbering 2,500.
The church'was built in 1870; 100 by 63
feet, two stories high, built entirely of
pine; galleries on tho sides and North end
about twenty-five feet wide. There were
two doors in the North end and vesti?
bule, from which two doors opened in
tho body of the church; the galleries
opened into the vestibule; at the rear
end was another door, by which a few
Eersons escaped. Immediately upon the
making out of the flames, all the occu?
pants of the galleries rushed to the East
door, and crowded so that they fell upon
one another and choked up the door?
ways, with their bodies piled in all ways,
seven or eight deep, and here most of
the lives were lost. From this mass, I
Chief Mullin rescued one young woman,
after taking two dead bodies from above
her. It was almost impossible to face
tho flames, and Chief Mullin and others
had their clothes almost burned from
them and were badly burned themselves
about tho hands. In the rear of tho
church w4jj the priest's residence, which
was also destroyed. The walls were
pulled down ufter the firo was nearly
put out. Ono woman j umped from the
highest window down upon the front
stops, breaking one of her arms, but she
is not known to have been otherwise in?
jured. A man with two children in his
arms jumped from the window and es?
caped; one poor woman, enveloped in
flames, shrieked out, "For God's sake,
save me," and she was dragged out by
John Lynch. Tho latest despatch to the
Republican, from Holyoke, says it is quite
certain that all the bodies have been
taken from the ruins. In the h&sto to
get as many as possible from tho build?
ing before it fell, many wore taken out a
b? short distance, and it is possible that a
L few more may be taken from the debris.

The Raging Grass-hopper?A Was of
EXTERMINATION INSTITUTED. IN platte
County.?Our people have been busy for
the last week in endeavoring to extermi?
nate the grass-hopper pests among us.
A battalion of our citizens, two nights in
succession, last week, surrounded them
upon the Court House Campus, all
with torches in hand, liberally saturated
with coal oil, and went for the gross
hoppers with a vengeance. In some
j places they were three and four inches
j deep, and it was fun for the boys but
denth to our visitors when the little
devils were enveloped in a sheet of
! tianic. In other portions of town the
(same process was being carried on. On
Monday last, about twenty of our citi
I zens, male and female, surrounded a
I small squad of about 100,000,000, which
had just mode their appearance through
j Mi's. Marshall's pasture, and.drove them
to the centre of Church street, where
plank had been put to head them off,
with straw scattered in prolific abun?
dance immediately in front of the barri?
cade, upon which they were driven,
when it was set on tire, destroying about
50,000,000 of them. These efforts though,
at their destruction, seem to hnvo di?
minished their numbers to no percepti?
ble degree whatever, and our people
have become more or less disheartened,
I and have about concluded that no effort
I of theirs con stay their ravages. Whole
fields of wheat, corn, grass, and tho
most of the gardens in our County have
already been swept as clear of everything
I as if a simoon had blasted them. Our
County Treasurer, who is noted for his
veracity, states that an army of grass?
hoppers, about 100yards wide, attempted
to cross Platte River, at Harnull's Perry,
Ion Wednesday last. Arriving at the
I brink of the river they made no halt,
but plunged headlong into the stream.
This march was kept up from half-past
11 o'clock in the morning until late in
the evening. For miles up ond down
the river the water was a living mass of
gross-hoppers. Mr. Durnall at once
summoned his whole force of farm
hands, consisting of twelve men, who,
with the aid of clubs and sticks, kept
them from returning to shore or cross?
ing, until thoy becamo exhausted and
floated off with the current. Mr. Dur?
nall thinks that at least 500 bushels were
destroyed. Our friend thus saved about
100 acres of as fine wheat as he ever
raised.?Platte City (Mo.) Landmark.
Tweed's Condition.?Tho Warden of
I Slack well's Island states that William M.
I Tweed was examined recently by three
I distinguished physicians, who say that
ho is affected with heart disease and an
j affection of the kidneys. They did not
j express any fear of immediate danger,
but thought that his situation was suf?
ficiently grove to justify unusual con
I sideration on the part of tho keepers.
Tweed is now allowed to sleep out of his
cell, for the reason that he has grown so
[ stout that it is impossible for him to get
in the door of one. Even if he could be
squeezed in, the bed with which each
:cell is provided is too narrow for his
1 bulky form, and there is not room for a
larger cot. It is said that the grand jury,
in making thoir presentment, will recom?
mend that Mr. Tweed be allowed more
privileges in consequence of his sick?
ness.
A Western Episode.?-An Indianapolis
despatch to the Cincinnati Uatettc bays:
Henry Palmer, of Columbus, hail wooed
and won the affections of Miss Hannah
Petillool, of Columbus, but hud ne?
glected to win her muscular brother,
who felt called upon to whip him, and
did so. Then Palmer got mad and took
another girl to a ball, whereupon the
girl got excited, and this morning, ac?
companied by her brother, walked over
to Palmer's place of business and shot
him thorough the side. Physicians were
called. After the first shock was over
Palmer sent for the girl and she called
j at once. After mutual explanations of
regret a grand reconciliation took place,
and at (! o'clock this evening, they were
married, the groom lying on the bed.
The bride is a beautiful girl, and both
parties are highly connected.

The Secretary of War has granted per?
mission to the Southern Memorial Asso?
ciation, with their iriends, to visit the
I Arlington Cemetery on June 1 to decorate
j the graves of the Confederate dead, with
liberty to use the grand stand. Origi
| nally 355 Confederate soldiers were
j buried in Arlington. Of these 233 re?
main, 122 having boen exhumed by
friends and removed to family burial
grounds. The few Confederate graves
at the Glenwood and Congressional
cemoteries will also be decorated on the
some day.
It seems to bo thought in New York
that a cloud now hangs over Chicago.
The speculators there are carrying some
$10,000,000 of grain. They are holding
it for prices much above tho New York
and Liverpool markets; and yet they are
compelled to protect themselves by
taking everything that comes from the
interior at tho high prices they can fic?
titiously established, thereby augment?
ing their loads from day to day. Tho ef?
fect of this is declared to be injurious in
many ways.
NonxnEriNEKa Ijookino to the South.
There is Haid to exist s strong desire in
many port ions of tho West among peo?
ple of small or moderate means to pur?
chase small farms of the cheap lands
everywhere for sale in the South, and
make their homes in its mild climate
ahd fertile soil. Some of them, having
hardihood as well us enterprise, have al?
ready dono so, but many, it appears, are
deterred by the slanderous stories of out?
rage and lawlessness which have tlooded
the North and West on the eve of overy
important election since the war. It is
unfortunate for the South, as well us for
those thrifty farmers and mechanics,
that a movement by which the condition
of both would be so much benefited is
thus paralyzed. No better proof could
be given of the extent to which, in the
opinion of the Radical leaders, popular
credulity in the North can be played on
than the concert of action among the ex?
treme Radical press, referred to by a
Wu-shington correspondent in a late let?
ter to tne Baltimore Han, to stir up the
North with the senseless crv that Jeffer?
son Dnjds is the choice of the South for
the next Presidency, and that his name
will be brought before the Democratic
Convention. And this in tho face of the
repented disclaimer through influential
orguns of Southern public opinion of
tho privilege of having a Southern man
nominated even for tho Vice-Presidency,
and tho fact that Mr. Davis' disabilities
have not been removed, though of course
they should be. If people can be found
in tho North willing to credit such a fic?
tion, thoy can beliove anything. The
only wonder is that, with such gulli?
bility as this to work on, tho outnigo
manufacturers arc not more extravagant
in their inventions than thoy have been.
Their slanders and misrepresentations
hnvo sufficed, however, to make many
people at the North think they would
risk their fortunes and their lires if they
shouid settle in the Southern States.
Says ono correspondent of an Alabama
papor, writing from Illinois?and this
one is a fair sample of all?"There is
one great drawback about people going
South, and that is, they hear through
the papers some hard tales about troubles
between the whites of the South and the
negroes. * * If it were not for that
there would be a greut rush South year
alter year."
The agricultural and mineral resources
of the South appear to be well under?
stood among those desirous of emigrat?
ing thither, but no advantages of cli-j
mate, soil, mineral deposits, agricultural
products und geographical position are
considered sufficient to overbalance the
apprehended perils to property and life
from the disorganized state of society
which the party newspapers and politi?
cians report to exist. It is to be hoped,
howover, that the testimony of such
men of Mr. Kelley and Vice-President
Wilson will tend to disabuse the minds
of Northern agriculturists of their un?
founded prejudices. There are as little
crime und outrage in the South us in any
other States of the country, and the true
condition of things cannot be always
concealed from intelligent Northern
men. It will be a happy day for the
South when the place of the carpet?
baggers, who now feed upon her vitals,
shall he supplied by immigrant farmers
and productive laborers and mechanics.
The great need at present is a denser
white population :ind a more diversified
industry.
Mrs. Christine Toons, tho only lady
saved from the Schiller, having recovered
somewhat from the shock on her nervous
system, relates to a lady correspondent
the following incidents of the shipwreck:
??She said among tin* passengers was a
lady who had a beautiful littlo boy; he
was everybody's pot on board, and would
be seen playing all day long with his
mother or other ladies or gentlemen.
After the steamer had struck the rock,
that lady, with her boy in her arms,
rushed frantically upon deck, and fell
upon her knees before a sailor. 'Save
me and my child for God's sake, save
us! I am rich, immensely rich?save me
and thou shalt be wealthy and without
cares forever. I will give thee enough
for all thy life. Thou need not be u
sailor then- only save uiennd my child.'
A big wave swept over the deck and car?
ried away the rich mother, her beatrafnl
child and the poor sailor. Another lady
on board had a little girl about three
years old, who looked like an angel.
Tho mother, being mostly sea-sick, would
not allow anybody to take the child away
out of her sight. Many ladies offered to
play with the child on deck, but the
mother always objected, on the ground
that the child might be hurt, or even fall
overboard, through carelessness or over?
sight. Her child in the water! The bare
idea would already make her mad. When
the catastrophe came, the mother rushed
on deck with her child on her arm, and
at once jumped into the sea. The idea
of seeing her child in the water had
made her mad." Mrs. Towns further
said: '?Wo had a great many handsome
children on board, whose gaiety amused
everybody; and though childless myself,
it almost breaks my heart to think that
not one of them has been saved."
The 600 gentlemen who met the other
day in Madrid with the determination to
restore order by a conciliatory decree
and liberalizing the Government in ac?
cordance with the wishes of the people,
have a very precarions job before them.
In 1800, 300 gentlemen met for the same
purpose, and said "tho sovereignty
resides in the uution, and from it nil
power proceeds." and then in a series of
articles resolved to have a monarchy
which would bo as free as a republic.
Prince Amndeo, of Italy, tried to preside
ovor this Government, but he found
so many antagonistic and illiberal and
unropublican factions that he had to
slip down and out, and it is not at nil
likoly that Alfonso, judging from the
wav ho has commenced his reign, will
suffer any liberalizing process to go on
in his realm. It must be remembered
that these GOO gentlemen who jOBt; met
aro meeting and talking in a BOrt of holi?
day, granted by proclamation of the
King during the electoral poriod. As
far as tho "wishes of tho people" are
concerned, tho Spanish masses do not
know what they want, and have a very
hazy* idea of what really constitutes
i liberty. Tho real Republicans of Spain,
the real liberals, are very few in number.

finished her "education" with a "shun."
She "oauio out" immediately after.
A New York letter says: "There arc
indications that there will be fewer fa-1
milies going off to the watering places
this season than Im? been the case for
many summers past. An effort is actual- |
ly making in a quiet way to render it
fashionable to stay at one's home in the
city, during June and July, but the ex- I
periment is a bold one, and it may not J
succeed. Probably a compromise may
be the result, by remaining at home dur- |
ing June and July, and making up lost
time at the other end of the season.
Republican papers are full of terrible
denunciations of "the villainous out?
rage" in New Hampshire, and threaten
unutterable things, because two Demo?
crats have been seated in the State Se- ]
nute and two Republicans turned out.
Hut, then, the Democrats did not get She?
ridan and DoTrobriand to hustle these I
two men out into the cold, as the Re?
publicans did in Louisiana. The thing
was done oflicialby, regularly and quietly
by thi* Governor and Council.
One thing journalistic experience has
taught, anil "'tis a story worth repeat?
ing," viz: That ill-natured nnd unnecr?
sary flings at brother journalists in the
end do not pay. The men who enjoy
these tlings mostly, throw up their hats,
huzzah loudest, and swear "that's the
best thing of the season," are the very
class of men that never pay for their j
papers.
Trade is much depressed in Austria.
One iif the largest industrial establish?
ments in Vienna?Sigl's engine factory
-is about to bo closed. Several thou?
sands of workmen will be thrown out of
work by the disaster, and their families,
numbering, it is said, 10,000 souls, will
be left destitute. Onlv last year this fac?
tory made about 400 ioeoinoiives, which
were sent to Russia and Italy.
Vice-President Wilson failed to secure
the confidence of the darkies at Memphis, i
as is shown by the. following conversa?
tion between two of the ebony-huod raco
last week: "Say, Pill, what's de name ob
dat fellah from Woshin'ton? Hab you
seed him?" "Yes, I seed him. He'sgwino
to start a nudder Freedman's Bank.
?Dp debbil he is! Well, dat's enuff for]
me."
?Is the shoe too small?" tenderly
asked a fond swain of his sweet-heart,
who was moaning about cramped toes.
?Oh, no! the "hoes are just Tight, but|
my foot is too big?that's all.
A ??dumb" barber in a New Jersey
town is getting all the custom, and has !
been obliged to hire four mute assistants.
Barbers who are not "dumb" should cut1
this out and paste it on their coat sleeve.
Has anybody remarked the curious
foincidence that the Schiller was lost on
the anniversary of the day. May 9, on
which, in 1805, the poet, whose name she
bore, died.
Running after "society," boot-licking
the "rieh/' and striving to be numbered 1
with "first families," is evidence that one]
has not been well bred.
Evarts says he will move for a new
trial if the jury find a verdict against
Beecher. And the world says: "Kind

Jackson, Boston's blue-blooded law?
