10th, writes - follows:
Last night this village was thrown In COM
motion BY the arrival ~ couple Of hunters,
bringing with them two young bears weigh
ing over thirty pounds apiece, which were
shot In small piece Of woods not one mile out
of the village.
When first seen, "the dam" was with them,
out she made her escape-not, however, with
out receiving a charge of fine shot from one
OF the hunters. The hunters were out to shoot
squirrels, and their shot was too small to dan
gerously wound an old bear. The cubs ran up
tree, and were shot by Mr.. Archibald Nihoof
The excitable part of the community, who are
always ready to blaze the moment a spark
reaches them, were greatly agitated. fearing
awful things from that old bear when she
should become conscious of the loss of her cubs
This morning guns were heard in various
quarters, and the reports Of firearms lave bee
very frequent during the day in the various
pieces Of woods adjacent to this village, but
as yet no news Of the capture of .ss s v,a bear

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. Is, 1854.
Isaac Frowsrt, one Of the City Police, died
at an early hour this morning from the effects
Of injuries received, as 1t is supposed, at the
hands of a female, named Mary Whitlock.
The circumstances are these: On Tuesday
night week the officer found Mary Whitlock
at Front and Market streets In a state OF
drunkenness. She was taken In custody, and
conveyed to the Station House. As the officer
was about to put her in the cell she struck him
a violent blow on the forehead with q small
pitcher which she had with her. He was ia
ken sick on the night after, and died as stated
above. Mary Whitloek was committed at the
time of her arrest, and has been in prison ever
since. A dstainer has been lodged against
her on the charge of manslaughter.
A young female OF some personal attrae-
tions, pamed Mary A. White, was found dead
yesterday in house in Shipper Lane. which
bears a shocking bad reputation under cir
cumstancss that left no doubt that she had
oeen murdered. A woman residing next door
to the house in question, had heard the excla-
nation of "Oh, don't murder men' coming
from the cellar adjoining and informed a
policeman of the fact. All in the house have
been arrested.
The receipts of the Central Railroad from
January 1st to August 3lst amount to g. 3l.-

1.-The papers, few weeks ago, contained
full particulars of tho case of Mr.. Garden, a
gentleman of wealth and rank, who was re-
Gently convicted in Ireland, for the attempted
abduction of an heiress. Immediately after
his sentence he was attired in the common Jail
dress, his head was shaven, and he was set
upon the treadmill for the usual space of time.
He is locked up at six every evening and rises
in the morning at six. This much favor has,
however, been granted him by the Jail COM
mittee-he is allowed an entire cell to him
self, his servant man attends him, and he is
permitted to supply himself with food. He
goes on the tread mill at ten o'clock, and re-
mains working at it, with the usual rests, until
two. The monotonous and severe toll he goes
through without murmuIing. He looks very
ill, but has not formally complained to the
jailor that he is suffering in health.

GoOD NEWS FOR Poor FoLKs.-We copy the
following from the New York Sun, with the
hope that the conclusions Of the writer are
perfectly sound:
The prospects of an abundant supply of
food are Frightening. The news from Europe
continues most favorable, with the exception
of reports of some injury to the potato crop
in parts of Ireland. To these reports is to be
attributed tho active demand for Indian corn.
In France, breadstuffs are falling rapidly in
price. In England, tho extremely ine weather
was forwarding harvest operations, and pro-
duoing stsgnation in the grain and -four
trade. From various sections Of our own coun-
try We now hear less gloomy reports. The
alarm cry recently raised is fast subsiding.
Inquiry has established the fact that We have
food enough in the country to feed all the
people until next harvest-and We will even
have some to spare. s
" 1t is, however, doubtful whether there will
be demand, to any extent, for our breadstuffs
in Europe. Prices are ruling much higher in
New York than in Liverpool, and to admit of
exporting, prices here must come down. In
deed, our markets are giving way; and in the
absence of an export demand, prices must come
down, as the supply now coming to market,
much exceeds the homo consumption"

MUsr HAVE SEBAsroPoL.--The London
Times INDUCES in the following reflections:
"Until We have taken Sebastopol We have
no right to assume that the power of Russia in
the Black Sea is annihilated; but, whenever
that great and necessary measure is accom-
plished, We may be disposed to hope that Rus
STA will yield to the irreparable blow, and
sccept the conditions arising out Of the ulte-
Yior results Of the WaR."

doubt of Russia yielding "to the ifpparsble
