A cry came from the interior, and q

spectators. Cries of horror pierced the

Everybody looked frightened and relieved
while the juggler coolly wiped the blood
from the sword blade. Suddenly, bursting
from the middle of the group of observers,
the little fellow came running to his mother

sharp blade stood on the same stone
floor upon which rested the basket;

around-there was no refuge in the basket
there was no confederate, no mantle, nc

distinctly heard at each thrust the blood

came from the crowd and quite alive? |

THE CRoPs IN GEoRGIA.-The following note
from Senator Dawson Of Georgia, very briefly
sums up the yield of the crops of corn, cotton,
and potatoes for the Empire State Of the South
this year -
GREESEssoRo, Georgia, Oct. g. 1854.
DEAR SRI viii your inquiries, and can do 80
briefly. The Georgia crop will bo sufficient FOX
home consumption, and not The cotton crop one
third ess than the last year, fully The potato crop
almost a failure The crop Of cotton last year
average crop. Very resp ctfuiy,
WIN. Z. DAWSON.
J. G. BENNETT, ESQ, Nex York.
Mr.. Dawson is, we believe, largely engaged
as planter, and is therefore conversant with
the subject upon which he writes us SO pointedly
and decisively. Yet we venture to soy that the
Georgia cotton crop will turn out better than
he thinks for; that she will have little corn to
spare for her neighbors, if necessary; and no
lack Of potatoes, Irish and sweet included. Will
the honorable Senator oblige us by saying
whether II is the Irish potatoe or the sweet POI
'atoe that is s'almost failure?" If it is the
sweet potatoe, then the late drought is without
parallel in the State OF Georgia.

The PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH AND THE MAINE
LIQUOR LAw-1he people Of p nnsylvania ia
the late election voted directly moon the ques-
ton whether they would or would not have q
Maine liquor law. From the returns received
on that question the prohibit ton is rejected by
q decisive majority. Philadeph city and
county gave majority Of FIVE thousand for
the law; but steady and indexible old Berks
on this vital question stands out Tor the ina-
liensble right Of free liquor, by eight thousand
majority against the proposed prohibition; and
most Of the old-fashioned Dutch counties 80
the same ay by very heavy vote. Why is
this? Are not the Pennsylvania Dutch a
bard working, temperate peoples They are;
but still they like the privilege Of glass
of lager bier or corn whiskey Of frosty
morning, without being reduced to the neces-
sity Of dOct or's certificate to the apothecary
shop. Besides, the distillation and consump
tion OF whiskey and lager bier afford too good a
u.arket for corn, rye and barley to be sacrificed
to the experiment Of coercing men into sobriety
Such appear to be the reasons why the sturdy
Penpsy " ania Germanic tribes, commonly called
the Pennsylvania Dutch, have put their feet
down against the Maine law. They rose in
arms against General Washington himself when
he federal government put an excise on whis-
key and 1t would be little curious If their
descendants should now vote to stop their own
supplies by prohibitory law.
