out last week was woebegone in the ex treme. The incessant downtfour of many consecutive days has flooded the low-lying lands. In the Midlands, rivers have risen and the floods are out. There and elsewhere t'.ie harvest had been gene rally commenced before tho disastrous change, and fields upon fields of cut crops areunder water, the sheaves standing like little conical islands on the surface, Where the land is higher the ears have turned almost black from the long, drenching rain. Further north matters look a little more hopeful. The lateness of the season has been thn saving of Northern farmers, and backward crops which were pining for moisture have now had more than enough. The outcry and lamentations of the ngricul turiats are general, and landlords are begin ning to tremble for their rents. Mysterious and Diabolical Outrage. . > • A diabolical outrage is reported front Lille. It appears that on the 29th of last mouth a man who gave the name, of Desbota, and said he was a commercial traveller, arrived in that city and took a room at a small hotel. During four days he went about the place with parcels in his band, which the inhabitants believed to be samples. et merchandise. On September 3rd he called the landlady of the hotel and announced his departure. Before leaving, however, he hired • a cab and commissioned the driver to convey a certain number of boxes to the addresses written on them. Shortly after the town was aroused .by two explosions. The cab man had deposited the first parcel at the house of M. Trachet, a general business agent. . Ho proceeded to open the box in the presence of his son and servant, when an explosion occurred. M. Trachet was thrown to the ground, and had part of his face blown away. His son lost several :of his . fingers; the servant escaped with a slight wound. The cabman meanwhile had continued his route, and left another box at the house of a master carpenter, He being absent, his wife and daughter, curious to see .what was in the. box, set to work to open it. They had hardly begun when it .exploded, but for tunately, both escaped with only contusions of no gravity. By this time the police were aroused, and they ran after the cab, and caught it just as the -driver had delivered a third bax at. the roiidenco of an iron merchant ' Three more boxes were in the cab addressed to different persons in the town; They were each found to contain bombs of ordinary, gunpowder, weighing ten pounds, con nected by a percussion fusee to the lid of the box. The cause of this marvellous crime is supposed to -be personal vengeance, but nothing certain has yet been gleaned by the police. '.' •

Terrible Hallway Disaster. — Great Loss of Life, On September 5, Paris was startled by another accident on the Lyons Railway, which has had alarming fatal results. As far as can be gathered, it appears-that a: alow passenger train from Montargis arrived at' • tno Charenton Station twelve min utes behind time, and before it could be shunted on to the siding to allow the " lightning" train from Marseilles to pass, the latter came up and dashed into it. To add to the horror of the event, the travellers in the parliamentary train saw the train from Marseilles approaching,and some of them tried to jump out of the carriages. The driver of the slow train put on all his Bteam, but it was too'late, and the next second an awful crash, took place. The engine of the "lightning "train dashed into the other, and literally smashed fonr of the carriages. The scene that followed was in describable. For some minutes the wildest confusion prevailed; but the first horrible fright over, the railway authorities set to organising relief. The police and'military in the neighbourhood were soon called to the spot to assist the railway authorities in their sad task. ■ The sight was heartrend ing. Heaped np in a large mass lay the wreck of the four carriages and their dying and dead freight. To extricate the victims was a labour of some time. Their shrieks rent the air, while their friends and fellow passengers gathered round, some weeping, others fainting, and all pale with fright and terror.

The Prdfet of Pelice, the Procureur of the Republic, and other officials were not long in arriving to superintend the measures taken for the relief of the victim?. Twelve dead bodies, fearfully mutilated, and about twenty injured, were soon extricated from the ruins, and conveyed to. the waiting room of the Charenton Station, where doc tors were in attendance. - M. Beynonl, in spector at the Lyons Station, came down in search of his wife and daughter, who were In the slow train.' He found both of them serionsly wounded. As the work of rescue continued,the victims were discovered to be more numerous; but great difficulty was experienced in being able to obtain precise information, owing to the reticence of the railway authorities.

As far as is at present known, nineteen persons were killed on the spot. Their bodies were subsequently conveyed to a shed-outside the station. The wounded are far mote numerous than the dead, and their injuries are for the most part very serious. They'have been dispersed- in the private houses, hospitals, and asylums of Cbarentou, and some, having been for a time kept at the station, were sent to Corbel. A few. also elected to return to their homes in Paris in carriages. Of these, one, a woman, died on the way. • '"■ - One of the railway carriages, which was smashed to atoms, was occupied by a Musi cal Society of La Serte d'Alais, which was on its way to Brighton. These unfortunate people famished the largest contingent to the victims of this deplorable accident. Among the injured are Madame Roufan neau, M, Lesage, of La Ferte d'Alais, Madame Leaagc, and their .child, who had his two legs torn from hw body. Some of the bodies are so horribly mutilated' that identification will be difficult. It was the slptr train which furnished alt the victims, the passengers of the "lightning" express escaping with a severe shaking. In this latter train was the brother of the Kin;' of Siam and his snite, who were in no way in-. jur«L; •"

Bandits Board a Train tw Ar kansas, and Capture $50*00(1.

LITTLE ROCK (Ark.), Sept. 23.—AD: Arkadelphia special ' train on thp Iron Mountain .and Southern Railway, which left Texarkana at eight o'clock last night, was boarded at Hope by three young men. After-passing Prescott.and when near Ken sitt, they suddenly drew revolvers and or dered the conductor to stop the train, which" he did. They then proceeded to make the paasengera throw up their hands and went through them, gettiDg 70Odols. They then visited the express car.- opened the messen ger's safe, and took 30,000d015. in currency. Before leaving the train they threw a pack age containing 15,000d015. back, under the Impression that it was valueless. A second dispatch says it was eight miles, south of Prescbtt. The three presented cocked revolvers to the conductor and bade him stop the train, which he did as quickly as possible. He was in such a hurry to stop the train that he pulled the bell-cord in'two. All three of the robbers went to the express car, and made the messenger open the, cafe, from which they took about 16 OOOdols., which was about half the money there was in it. They then went through the coaches and robbed the nassengers of 800dols. All three men were very young. None of them were masked, nor had any a beard ST. LQUIS, Sept. 23.—A "Post Dispatch" special says :— It was five men who-boaracd the train in Arkansas and they took 18,000 doll.' from the safe, and perhaps as high as 50,000dol». from aIJ. The Governor will offer 2,500d015. reward, and the railroad company as much more, for their arrest. LnrivßßOCKfArk.), Sept 23.—Conductor Whitside tells a circumstantial story re garding the train robbery. They paid their fare some distance ahead after some conversation..and when the conductor passed on they drank from a bottle and fol lowed, demanding his money. -He thought it a<joke of drnnken men, hut found bis mistake very soon, and handed out fifteen dollars in silver, saving his bills by saying he had none. They then walked him >in front of them, and took the money from the passengers, occasionally giving back three or four dollars to the victims. They robbed ten or fifteen passengers, and then marched the conductor into the Pullman car, and then back through the train to the express and baggage car, and, with pistols at his. head, com pelled the express messenger, Ben Sam, to open the safe, which they rifled, and then ccttin» off fired several shots at the engi neer to expedite him. It is not believed they had confederates on the train. The robbery occurred about 10 o clock in the evening, and it required about twenty minutes. Their total plunder from the ex press company and passengers is about 18,000dols. This afternoon the railroad company agreed to pay 5,000d01e. reward, and the State 500dols. each for the arrest and conviction of the robbers; total 16,500d015. Armed parties are scouring the country in all direction?, and the robbers can hardly escape. ■

Cargo of Human Hones,

New Yoek, Sept. 14th.— A special from London says :—A great sensation has .been caused at Bristol by the discovery of a cargo of 300 tons of human bones, being dis charged, there to the order of a local frnnen; gaged in manufacturing manure. The bones were shipped from Rodosto, nt Constantinople, and arc supposed to be priucipahy the remains of the defend ers of Plevna. There are complete limbs among the horrible cargo, and in some caces hair still adheres to the skulls. •■

Peter Cooper says it is a common thing among the British to buy human bones. In tact they will take all they can get at any time, and from any part of the world. They use them for manuring the lands. JSihilistic Movements. The Nihilist organ", the " Will of the People," has re-appeared ia St. Petersburg. The numbers issued contain various notices warning spies of their.fate ; a list of dona tions to the revolutionary fund, amounting to 5,000 rouble*; list of 400 Nihilists arrested since November; and an article condemning the Czar's policy, and threatening to deal the enemy a fatal blow; Baron Boronoff, Prefect of Police, waited on the Czar, ou September sth, to warn him that a great movement was to be made by the Nihilists in two or three months. He was snubbed. " Your successor, M. Kasloff," replied the Czar, "has energy and wit enough to triumph,over them." He then turned his back on Boronoff.

, The St. Petersburg correspondent of the (• Daily Telegraph " states that there was recently found painted on the seats of the Emperpr's private .garden at Peterhoff an announcement that His Majesty had been condemned to death by the Revolutionary Committee.

Frightful. Fires: Great. £oss of

Life-Whole Villages Destroyed.

Detroit, Mich., Sept; 7.-*-Telcgraphic communication is entirely cut off with the worst parts of the burnt region in this State, bo that reports arc yet somewhat fragmen tary, and it is hoped are exaggerated, but there are many fears that the worst is far from being told. Some are already pre dicting that the loss of life will reacb one hundred,-and even higher. The complete destruction of Bicnmondville, Sanilac cpunty," is confirmed. It seems to be beyond doubt that the little villages of Carson, Charleston and Tyre are com* pletely destroyed, ;and Ashley partly so. The' townships .of Delaware, Mimlon and Austin, in Sauilac county, and Bingham, Sherman and Paris, in Huron county are BURKED OVER AND DESERTED. ; The crops in these townships were all har vested, and'nearly all are Jost. The re mains of a family of seven, named Red mond, were found in a well near Charles ton, they having got into the well for shel ter, and suffocated. The charred remains of Henry Cole were also found at Charles ton, and a family named Susnla, in Paris township. Mrs Derbcrt and her three children were overtaken by the flames and burned to death, in Watertown district, and another family named Dennison are believed to be burned. Two families named Thorn ton and Lee, it is feared, fell a prey to the flames near Kichmoudville. The wind blew a gale} carrying the. fire with a rapidity that often prevented escape. This afternoon

THE DIRECTiOH OF THE WIND CHANGED. And it Is feared this will add new destruc tion by sending the flames over a section that had escaped. It is much cooler to night, which is favourable in that respect, but the wind is high and the country is helpless. There are bo signs of rain, with out which there seems to be no deliverance.

' The Board of Trade, of this city, to-day appointed a committee to solicit relief for the destitute communities. It is very evi dent a large work in that direction is at our doors. Hundreds of families lost all their property and this year's crops, which has reduced the condition to one of absolute, immediate want.

Chicago, Sept. B.—The "Times "special from Sand Beach, Michigan, says:—"The fire of last night was worse, and did more damage than that of yesterday, Bados, Charleston, Tyre, •VerenS, Port Hope and Huron City are all burned. Twelve dead bodies were brought into Port Hope. At least 100 lives have been lost in this county. ';

The safety of the town depends on the wind. : Large coals of lire have been blow ing into the town through the day. It is thought* 'the worst is past. : These dispatches arc sent by boat to Fort Huron. The best estimates that can be made at present place the number of families that are entirely burned out and destitute of food and clothing at 500, They must have help, and that very soon, as this place cannot support all that are coming here, and the surrounding towns are entirely destitute of provisions. Detroit, Sept. Bth.—The aorrors of the situation in Sanilac and Huron counties, en the shores'of Lake Huron, are deepening every hoar. An appeal was issued last night at. Port Huron, signed by Senator Conger and Hon. ■TV. L. Bancroft, calling for.-.money, clothing and provisions to be sent forthwith to Hon. E. C. Carlton, Mayor of Port Huron. The distress is unparalleled. It is believed that 300 people perished, and it ia feared many more, while thonsands are stripped of everything, food, shelter, crops, stock,, all swept clean from the face of the earth, and needs must have everything necessary to sustain life and clothe them selves. Accounts continue to come in of the most harrowing description. " ; Detroit, Sept. 9th.—Details respecting the fire in Huron and SauiJac counties, show that the approach of the fire was heralded by a dense atmosphere entirely obscuring the' light, in the middle of the afternoon of Monday. People carried lan. terns in, the streets until, three o'clock on Wednesday morning. In the woods many" dead were fonnd, the bodies scorched and charred. The high winds .spread the fire, and every avenue of ~ escape was closed. Burning masses of inflammables were lifted and carried through" the air. The skill and courage of man seemed impotent, and men and cattle were roasted together in natural fire traps. Up to Wednesday night 45 bodies were fonnd within one mile, in Paris township. Many are missing, nearly all Polish people. The whole settlement and crops and houses are swept away. la Delaware township, all the country south of Forestville, from the lake seven miles back, is swept clean. The new settlers loss everything. Men and cattle fled to the lake, where there is the utmost confusion,. The fire surprised every one iv that region by its sudden dsscent, and only for the lake there would have been a holocaust. A large force has gone to bary the dead animals. Many have been rendered blind. There is great destitution. George Fnrgason,- of White' Bock, says since Monday he has seen 116 turned bodies on the road. Wagonloads of coffins were a common sight The latest reports say the back country township's are burnedover, with a large loss of lite. The fires were extin guished by rains in the section between Sand Beach and Dickcrsvillc. SUMMARY OF tfASUM/nES. A dispatch from Port Austin, at the top of the burned peninsula, sums np the des truction as follows:—The loss of lives by the forest fires is between 200 and 300. The following villages were destroyed : Badaxe, Verona, Forest Bay, Kichmondvllle, Char leston, Anderson, Dickcrsvillc, Harriaburp, and Sandusky'. Trie following were partly burned : Port Hope, Minden, and Vbley. The greit loss in" the villages is nothing to that in the country, where the losses are too numerous to bo named. Reports from Saginaw, Tuscola and Lapccr counties, one tier back from the lake, while show ing much destruction of property, do not approach those from the lake shore coun tiee. The losses by fire are much less sweeping in general, and the loss of life is small. The dourer from fires is about over. The lowest estimate gives 219 families burned oat. The small towns and poor people suffer most. Sixty-five burials are already repoited in six towns, and 27 dead are said to have been found in the country between Badaxe and Port Hope. Relief is going forward rapidly, and reports come from all.the principal cities of aid coming.

COMPENSATION COURT.- This Day.

(Before Mr Justice Gillies and Messrs A. Buck land, Government assessor, and Joseph Newman, claimant's assessor).

G. a. Jakinb v. Tub Minister for Public Works,—Claim £600, damages for deprivation of water, rights by the construction of the sea wall between the Railway and Queen-street Wharves.—Mr K. Heaketh appeared for tno claimant, and Messrs Tyler and A. B. Whf taker for the defendant.—Thomas Kallon, railway contractor, was; the first witness called. He deposed that at present he was engaged in build ing a seawall, and making a reclamation between the Queen-street Wharf and. the Baifway Wharf by virtue of a contract with, 'the Minister of Public works. — Geo. Sargent Jatelcp, the claimant, deposed that he was the lessee OC allotment No. 3S, bavins effected the lease In September. 1876. Before then he had been carrying on business In Dor* br-m-Btreot, Upon the erection oil his nresont building in Cnstom House-street* early in 1877, be removed thither and raada uae of the facili ties which the oontiguity of the Goro atreet jetty afforded him, for pursuing his business advantageously. In March, 1879, the reclamation oontraos was oommenoed by Dompßoy, and afterwards taken up by the present oontraotor, Fallon. Shortly after the commencement of the contract, he in structed Messrs YVhiUier and Russell to givo notice of a claim llor compensation; bnt the present proceedings were not initiated until three or four montns ago, when the seawall ex tended right across the Custom-house frontage. Formerly he and other property owners enjoyed full ace bs to the lea, and they were enabled to (hip by and ■ receive goods from vessels lying alongside the Gore-street ietty. The* erection of the building coat him £1,550, and he valued the property before the jetty was removed at fully £2,000. The depreciation caused by tho removal of the jetty he estimated at fully £600, for the facilities which he had enjoyed were worth quite £1 per wosk to him, Inasmuch as tboy afforded him an outlet by sea as" well an by land. While property in other parts ot the city had steadily risen in valuo.that in Cua tomhoußC-street had remained stationary. About 18 months ago, the Harbour Board put up for lease an allotment of similar size and term with his own, and equi-disfant from the Uore-street jetty, but 70 yards, nearer! Queen* htreot, but the reserve of £10 was not reached, and it wbs withdrawn. Be believed nothing higher than £30 was offered. He had paid for his own allotment in 1871, £48. Last year ho leased the adjoining allotment to his own for £16 —To Mr Tyler: '• He <Ud not know whether Stewart and Garliek had given for their property £500 more, than' its cost. Dr. Campbell's Customhouse allot ments.had not risen in value since iho com menoement ot the reclamation. He wouli sell his property for what he had bought It, provld inglbe could obtainanother allotment suitable for the purposes of his basin ess. The bringing Of the railway station to Queen street would still further decrease the value ot the property.—To Mr Justice Gillies: He would not take £1,100 for his property to-day, but he would soil for £1,650 or £I,7oo.—The Gore-street jetty was under the ' control of tho Harbour Board and tho "Harbour-maator, just as the Queen-street wharf was. — James Macrae Bnftham, Secretary and Treasurer to the Harbour Board, depoted toat no allotments in Custom house-street had been put up for lease within tho last 18 months. The last was offered three years ago, bat was not sold as it was deemed wlbo to reßerve It, The upset price was £10. He considered that It was worth between £10 and £50 a year at the present time, as in his opinion a general iuotoaso of value in property in that neighbourhood had taken place within the last two or three years. The witness also explained the manner in which the allotments had been vested in the Harbour Board, besides stating that the Gore-street jetty was the property of the Harbour Board.—Mr Justice Gillies at once remarked that this evidence completely swept away the ground upon which the claim rested, in shewing con cluslvely that the jetty and the land In front of it wore the private property of the Harbour Board, and that there was no freo publlo access | to it, inasmuch aa the Board had the right to prohibit its public use.—Mr Heeketh said that he recognised this, and the claim was not made therefore againßt the Board, but against another party, viz, the Government, which had no such right.—After some.discussion on the point, the * hearing of evidence was proceeded with,—Geo. Winston*, partner in the firm of W. and G. Winstone, who owned an allotment adjoining Mr Jafeins, swore that the deprivation of the water rights had depreciated the marketable value of the property fully one-half. That effect upon property in Custom-house-street was general. To Mr Winstone: He was bearing part of the cost o£ the present proceedirg, and intended making a tclaim himself.—John Keid, merchant, depoted that he wai the lessee of two allotment* in Gore-street, and had been injuriously affected by the deprivation of the water rights,—To Mr Tyler: He was paying part of the cost of the present action, and if it succeeded ha intended to enter one himself.- D. H. McKenzie, lessee ot Gore and Jfort Btaeeta.also deposed that the construction p£ the seawall bad seriously depreciated the value of properties fronting Oustom - house - street.-Kd mund Euingham.lesseeof an allotment adjacent to Mr JakinVs, Rave similar evidence. He also saidtbat he would not now give more than half the price paid for his lease 7 or 8 years airc. _4L'o Mr Tyler: Heintenoed to put in a claim for compensation. He was. paying a share of he costs of the nft^-T^ ".£* nandoz, owner of the Brltomart Hotel, save corroborative evidence. He had paid £6,250 for his property *nd he was now prepared to sell Sr £4,000, He might pay a woomo' of the costs of the preseui case. He had decided to make a claim himself. (Uft sitting.)
