ramina in Germany.

The accounts from Vienna describe the suf-
ferings, from famine to be excessive in various
parts of Germany.
gseaLles and led government seem to have
deprived humble men Of all heart or energy
They have left their fields uncultivated for miles
lest the rude hands Of some hateful soldiery
should siege or destroy the fruits Of their labor
The consequence of this is something very like
famine in many parts of Europe, The az
counts from Poland are most disheartening, II
the carpathians people are literally starving
there 10 no bread at all. The inhabitants ar,
said to be living on a soupof some kind, which
they call ''retkamuka," compound OF fat an(
milk; or they cooka sort of thick 0oaken pap
something in appearance like The Italian pollen
Ita-this they call ''lnlasha." and eat in tn
place of bread, and as in all times Of great want
crime and dissipation OF all kinds come 90 swell
the list Of horrors, il is net surprising to lear
that something very like anarchy is raging !

NrRvr.--An Indian sword player declared,
at great public festival, that he could cleaye,
vertically, small lime laid on mans palm
without injury TO the member; and the general,
(Sir Charles Napier) extended his right hand
for trial. The sword player, awed by his rank,
was reluctant, and cut the fruit horizontally
Being urged to fulfil his boast he examined the
palm, and said it was not one to be experiment
ed on with safety, and refused to proceed
The general then extended his left hand, which
was admitted to be suitable in form; yet the In
dian still declined the trial; and when pressed,
twice waved his thin, keen edged blade, as if
to strike, and twice withheld the blow declaring
that he was uncertain OF success. Finally he
was forced to make trial, and the lime fell open
clearly divided. The edge Of the sword had
just marked its passage over the skin without
drawing drop Of blood.

THE BbAKELY FAMILY---Ilas been creating
quite Juror among the lovers Of music in our
little city. The remarkable features Of this at
tractive family are = vioinist Of superior
execution, and the great variety of their per-
formances- --their selections from the masters so
iudlciously interviewer with those Of mere mel
ody, and their comical diversions as to respond
10 the taste and strike home to the heart OF eve
nv nearer. This brings them within the range
of various grades Of critics, and as they give
general satisfaction, it speaks avolume of praise
in their favor. The parts are well sustained
and their voices harmonize like the chords upoi
the strings of single instrument. This is no
at all extravagant, and when we say they per
formed every piece in manner highly credita
ble---a mere mention Of their leading Overture
from such authors as "Rossini, ;" +" Bellini" an
Kreutzer---to "Tancridi," "Capuletti" an
" Ladoiski "---is quite sufficient to form an es
innate of the position which they sustain as in
strumental performers. The vocal gem wa
"Hcar me, Norma" Mr.. Hubbard, the violin
list, has few superiors, and was encored FIRE
quently. We had anticipated much, but wei
not at all disappointed in the chant" Flea
Father, hear our prayer" They have bee
prevailed on to give one more concert here {
their return. We anticipate for them the Ia
gest house that has ever been assembled at al
concert in the city. 1.
