The article, “The Terrible Storm,” under the head of News and Miscellany, will be read with painful interest by all. Callous, indeed, must be the heart that remains untouched by such heart-rending incidents.

Great Britain’s Crop Losses
GREAT BRITAIN laments the loss of 25 per cent of her wheat crop, 50 to 75 per cent of her potato crop, the money value of which is recorded at $180,000,000, while the deadly foot and mouth disease has depleted the barn-yards of $50,000,000 more, and the dreaded rinderpest causes the greatest anxiety for what is left. This therefore means poverty, if not starvation, to many.—N. Y. Tribune.
American Affairs and World News
One of the signs of the times is the increased attention paid to United States affairs by the Canadian newspapers. A considerable of their space, formerly given to dry and second-hand dissertations upon English topics, is now devoted to the news and the thoughts current on this side of the line. Some of these journals have correspondents at New York and Washington, and show a commendable degree of enterprise in publishing the freshest ideas and thoughts which are of interest to their neighbors. This mutual interest will lead to closer intellectual intercourse, and closer intellectual intercourse will lead to closer social and political intercourse.—Det. Post, Jan. 10.
Mt. Vesuvius.—The great Italian volcano is giving forth symptoms of another grand eruption. Already there have been several small eruptions recently, causing alarm in the vicinity.
The troubles that have taken place in the South since the close of the secession war, are the consequences of that war. We have heard much of the restoration of peace, but, in fact, peace never has been restored in some of the Southern States, and perhaps it never will be thus restored, till the central government shall have interfered once more as it did in 1861–5.—Boston Traveler.
