The first pine is reiehed about two miles west of the bridga. The trees are about twenty fect hizh, with well- prop rtioned branches, but of arather inferior quality of wood—at least, not such as would answer for finishing purposes. Five miles further up the valley, on each bluff, is seen small groves, and of a wuch grester height than before, aud the towaring trees seem to havejarrived at perfection in size and luxuriance of folige; in fact, there could be no improvement, unless it be in the quality of the wood. One cau ecireely comprehend the quantity ot gocd timber in one of these canyons, without passing in at the mouth aud going to is head, but Tdonot exugerate, when I say that there are very many of them from a balftoa s long, and so thickly grown with pine that a dozen men would spend s good summer’s work in cuttivg the timber m one of them.

The country north of the bluffs is high and thickly matted over with & loxurian: growth o buffalo gress, and their rauge oxtends to the K-ya Paha river, a disiance of tweuty miles. Tho stock is branded end turied out on the range,and the setilers take turns in riding wut (o soe that the stock is all right, every oilier day. In the winter the stock 18 aliowed to remain out on the range ali tho time, requiring no attention whatever, and in the severe storms, they drift avuto to the canyons where th.y arc s well protected trom. the violence (f ‘the wouther, as thry would be in barns, snd -in the spring they come ont in good condition for beer. Thegras:in thiscountry is especially adapted for winter feed, and makes excellent hay, but the stock will leave hay thrown to them in wiuter, and dig away the snow to gt at the grass. The old cry that was heard in this part of the siate ten years ago, that northers. Nebraska was fit for nothing but stock raising, is still echoed in this reg.on, sud neerly all the scttlers have heatd iteo oft-n that they begin to talk it them-elves, and some of them actuslly beieve if, notwith- etanding what fow crops that were put i lust vesr turned out well, and this year's crops are looking very promising. Stocked raisug here has proved a success thus far, sud the rowad-up in tiis part of the stock dis trict, bas shown no loss ouring the past year, and it is only a question of & very short tme, befors the prairies will teem with new comers and the stock men will have to pull further west, to escape from too close a proximity to that class who profer to farm. Above the mouth of Long Pine, aloug the banks of that stream, the character of the couutry is much the same as across the r.ver, though for & distance of five 1n les south «f the Ne- braska, the soil is very sandy. Here sgain the land is good, a drep sandy loam succeeding, the surface of the country g-utly undulating and ex- tending as far as (he eye can reach to thesouth.

Bt Lovis Stockman, July 14. It is now evident that men who are able to hold their wool for advances in prices will commard good figures. Advices condenred elsewhere from all varts of the country s y that the do- westic clip is held back on the ss- sumption of a conspirscy between dealers end manufacturers sgainat producers, and that wherever pur- chases have been made in quantity bigher prices provail. oreign wools have not broken prices and esmot break thom Imported stock msy have b-en meant to operate in that way, but it has been badly han- dled, and the outcowe on the whole hus been appreciation in values. Me- , diam Texas, which a year ago waa sel- ling as low as 14c, is now held at 22c. Colorado, which was selling then at 16@l7c, 18 now held st 27@24c, snd in California prices have advanced two cents more this week, as telegrams in- dicate. Advices from San Francisco, Cal., July 8, 1880, say: “Our mar- ket continues active and all descriptions are taken readily at an advance of 2@4 cents from the lowest figures.” Californians are ding their clip around Cape Horn, ving a trifle on freight, and possibly in storage, and keeping their supplies off the market until prices have ad- vanced considerably; but there are elements of risk in their action. Michigan farmers have parted with their clip in a large degree, and but little can be bought in that state under 40c. The scoured pound of wool is worth 80c, and no good can be gained from protences that the staple can be bought for less money. T Revolting Ravishing.

Later dispatches from Newport con- firm the report that 120 wivers wers killed by an explosicn of firedamp in the Block vein pit. SUBMERGING A TOWN. A terriffic thunderstorm deluged the town of Northampton, capital of the county of tne ssme nawe, and the seat of Bradlaugh, member of parlia- ment. It s situated on the River Nene, a navizablo stream, and is also on the line of the Loudon & North- westorn rai'way, about_sixty miles vorthwest of London. The storm was of unprecodented viclence, and a wonderful amount of water fell in a short time. The Nene at once bezan s; rise visibly, and soon the water lowed into the lower windows of fac- toties, aud some of the latter standing in unusualiy exposed positions sre nearly submerged. The swelling stream presently reached the town, and the people, unable to rescue their househoid goods, are_endeavoring to dam up the doors with clay, but with very little_eff-ct. Orhers who had somewhat longer warning succeeded in eacaping to higher ground with a part of their portable chattels. The staple manufactures at Northampton are boots and shoes, although the cur- ing of leather is carried on extensive- lv. There ars al:o many varieties of mills. Great damagy hesalready been done, and-as this dispatch is being sent the river is ‘reported still rising. All the factories are abandcned. and the hands are gazing belplessly on from all xitsinsble eminences in the vicinity. M-ch damage is also done to the Grand Juuction canal. The railway’s atructure, in the upper part of the town, located on the slope back of the river, is eafe, and the inhabit- auts are mostly gathered there, ex- citedly witnessing the scene. iR, DISAS: IRELAND'S FITFUL FEVER.

GLADSTONE SURRENDERS TO PARNELL. In the house of commons last even- ing debate on the compensation for disturbauces-in-Ireland bill was re sumed. After considerable discussion, the government, amid the scornfal protests of the tories, abandoned the £30 limit and agreed to accept the £50 limit. Tories aud whigs consider this a deliberate and unblushing conces en to the Parnellites. The whigs bsequently held an informal meet- ing, at which the government’s vacil- Jation was strongly denounced. Later in the debate the Irish members made a0 unsuccassful endeavor to force an amendment extending the operations of the bill to the whole of Ireland. VICTORY FOR THE CLERICALS.

I, being president of the most important bauk in the city, real- izing the immense danger of the large funds entrusted to my care, took pre- caution to protect the bauk and my pereon. Below my apartment, facing the street, I bad attached a flexible iron grating, which would open and shut at willand to the inside of the doora thin iron plate was fastened. This I deemed ample precaution, since the augur of & burglar, after penetrat- ing the wood, would be forced back by the iron. Tae frunt door of my hou-e is a0t composed of iron but on the contrary is of wood. It has been said also that my nomination had created great dissatisfaction in Indiana, that Gov.
