Tho Mark Lane Express says there there hove been some intervals of sun shine during the past week which have been beneficial to growing crops and hay making. Cold nights, however, militat ed much against ripening of cereals, and it is only in the south that wheat is hang ing color. Even under the most favora ble conditions it is improbable that any home grown wheat will be seen in Mark Lane before the first week in September. In 1878 first sample appeared in Mark Lano on the 11th of August. Some of the hay crop has been secured, but in many instances in a very unfit state. The condition of the root crops is very varia ble. Potatoes appear to be thriving fair ly in Scotland and Ireland, and the con sumption of maize in Ireland has conse quently decreased. In the midland counties of England a disease has ap peared and the condition of the potato crop is aepiorauie. in snort, tlie im provement of the agricultural situation is very slight, and the harvest cannot be otherwise than deficient. Very little En glish whoat was offored during the week either at Mark Lone or at county exchanges. PACIFIC COAST. hod doveloped at Whitehaven, Tenn., a child of A. L. Gaff, ticket agent.

Low Price for l-Offt and Lumber. Seattle, Aug. 14. Tho long contin ued depression iu the lumber trado has cast a blight over tho business interests of the entire Sound country. Thero is estimated to be over fifty million feet of surplus saw logs in tho water at the pres ent time. In some instances logs sold recently as low a JgU 25 per M, while a foreign order for lumber was being tilled at S7 por M. Five of the saw mills on tho Sound with aggregate capacity for cutting o.,i(ou iect oi lumber per diom are now shut down to await improvement in the market. Shipowners are suffering in common with mill men, loggors and others, and taking cargoes at rates which barely cover expenses. A charter for a cargo of lumber was procured here a week ago for San Francisco at $2 12, which is tho lowest rate yet reached. Favorablo reaction, ho we verbis looked for among mill men soon afteTthe Cali fornia election, the agitation consequent upon which it is lielieved has had a trreat deal to do with the present depression. as fast as it was possiblo to almost the summit. One of the parties, who was farthest down, in terror turned around and beheld the water rushing and tearing down the opposite side, carrying with it huge boulders, uprooted trees and all sorts of debris. It struck the house and the sawmill simultaneously, and carried them away like straws, not a vestige of either remaining. We stood there in terror for a long tiuio, hardly daring to speak a word ; but finally becoming more used to the scene, we began to look around us and take in the situation. When the neighth of the excitement had abated a lit tle, an anxious mother missed her infant child, and instant search was made for the lost little one. After an hour spent in the wuter and mud. one of the srentlemen discoverd the infant in a pool, and the Btream still coming down the mountain side, lying close up by a rock which also supported a large bureau, under which the little one sat iu an apartment in tended lor a lower drawer. The child was not a bit frightened, but seemed to be rather pleased with its situation, and, strange enough, had hardly a scratch upon it. Ihe joy of the distressed parent can easily be conceived when the wet voungBter was placed safe and sound in her arms. The water continued to rush down the gulch for several hours, and we had to prepare places to Bleep on the side of the mountain. Early the next morning I joined a number-of men who desired to reach Denver as soon as possi ble, and started to walk to the train, about seven miles distaut. When we reached there we found it was a wrecking train with a coach attached, and after be ing delayed several hours for the wreck ers to prepure the track, we started on our way home. In the canyon the track was also eutted out in spots, and a good bit of it at other places had the bedding washed out and the rails twisted. Temporary bridges are being constructed to facilitate the running of the trains. An engine was run into a ditch a short distanco this side of Thomp son's in consequence of the weakened condition of the road-bed. Three flat cars were also carried away some 40 feet, with three men on them, who, wonderful to relate, were not at all injured; they only received a thorough drenching and a big scare. One of the most disastrous difficulties arising from this unexpected accident is the great delay of the mails. There has not yet been a single mail sent out to Leadville since the storm, and as a conse quence there has been a great accumula tion of matter which will doubtless be a source of much trouble to the carbonate camp, as well as to the many towns along the line of the road. Such an accident is likely to occur at most any time, and pro vision should be made that in such an event in future there need bo no delay in the mails.

Lord Russell came in for an uncommonly large share in the general distribution. In 1540, when the great monasteries were dissolved, his lordship obtained a grant for himself and his wife, and their heirs, in the site of the Abbyof Tavistock, and of extensive pos sessions belonging thereto. There was much more to come. After the accession of Edward VI., Lord Russell had a grant of tho monastery of Woburn, and was created Earl of Bedford, 1550. In 1552, a puient was granted to jonn, l!.arl of Bed ford, of Covent Garden, lying in the Met ropolitan parish of St. Marti n-in-the-fields, with Beven acres called Long Acre, of the yearly value of 0 6s. 8d, part of the possessions of the late Duke of Somerset. Covent Garden, or more properly Convent Garden, was originally the garden of the Abbey of Westminister.
