FROM SALT LAKE VALLEY. By an arrival Mon.
day from the Valley Of Great Salt Lake. we have
late dates of the Deseret Ners from which we clip
the following items:
Tie Crops. The past and continued wide spread
devastation of crops rend rs the prospects for
breadstuf, in Utah very uncertain. In the mean
time we understand that the crops are very prom.
isng at San Bernardno. and their market rather
light Under these circumstances the brethren and
other settlers in that place will doubtless find it to
their pecunary interest. aside from pIilanthropic
principles to raise and carefully secure all the
wheat they possibly can.
In places the crcketS arc now coming to the aid
of the graSshopperS, and being much the largest
require more ut meal which has IL tendency to
discourage further eff rts but the people are care
fully watching the movements Of the drpredatorS,
destroying them. laying new plans for their destruc-
ton, and taking advantage ct such localities as
they have vacat Il. What the result will he is yet
unknown. for both classes of these deyouring insects
are still constantly hatching cut.
Eight hundred miles is some distance to haul
wheat, but we know Of no nearer place than San
Bernardno from which to procure it. in order to
help out the great deficiency now in prospect
hence it is expected that the farmers at that ranch
will double their care and diligence, and reap
the reward thereof both in their feelings and pock-
cts
In addition to the dPpredationS of the grasshop-
pers the Utah Indians are becoming very trouble
some at Provo turning their horses into the fields
to eat up what little the insects had not destroyed,
and endeavorng to drive off and shoot cattle.
Wheat and fl ,ur are becoming rlthrr scarce.
Mr.. Dobson who passed the mail 10 miles east
of the city. reports emigration the route for
California and Oregon.

MEXICAN INTOLERANCE TOWARDS AMERICAN Clr-
IZENs. Tho course recently pursued by Santa Ana
towards the American merchants resident in Mex.
leo is difficult to explain. There can be question
of the fact that the present Government of the
United States has done much towards the perpetu-
alton Of the rule of the Mexican Dictator The
seven millions Of dollars which were paid down for
the purchase of the Mesl!a Valley enabled Santa
Ana to cope successfully with his enemies but the
Mexican exchequer Is now empty. Santa Ana has
failed in the project raise foreign legion both
in this city and in the Cantons of Switzerland.
Caravajal, Alvarez, and Comonfort are daily grow
ing more troublesome. aud if Santa Ana does not
succeed in selling another slice Of his territory to
the United States. he will be again obliged to seek
for recreation in the coc!pits of Havana. Instead,
however, Of cutivatng the friendship Of the Amer
lean people, and paving the way for an exchange
of Lower California for porl'on Of the surplus
cash now yng idle in the vaults Of the Treasury
Department, we find his Most Serene Highness
using every exertion to exa'p.rate the Am .rcan
people against him. He has accorded the privilege
to the English and other merchants in Mexico, Of
importing gOOds at rate Of duty fully thirty per
cent lower than the esta Ili>hed tariff while the
American merchants are obliged to pay the full
amount on pain of confscaton. He has not hesita-
ted also to invade the personal rights of the Amer
leans resident in the Republic and to such pitch
has the injustice OF his subi dnate Misunderstanding
of course under the express directions of the Dcta-
tor-rcached, that Gen. Gad>den, our Minister to
Mexico, has felt it to be bis duy--if rumor is to
be credited-to issue orders to the American ves-
sels-ot-war in the Pacific 20 proceed to Cape St.
Lucas Alanzanillo. Guaymas and other ports, for
the purpose Of efecting the release Of American

HORRIBLE MURDER IN NEW YoRK.-On Mon
day morning last, about 2 o'clock, a woman
named Margaret M'Daniei, who resided at No
4, Baxter-st, was murdered by her husband,
Edward M'Daniel, who cut her throat with
razor in such manner that she died in a few
hours afterward. 1t is thought that M'Daniel
was temporarily insance at the time of COM
mitting the awful deed. He and his wife, as
now appears, went to bed late, after Offering
up prayer to their Creator, and remained
quiet until the time named, when he, as is al
legged, got up, and seizing his wife by the throat
with one hand, inflicted the violence with the
other. She screamed, and rolling on the floor
at the same time, bled profusey and died in
few minutes afterward. The alarm was rails
ed, and officer O'Connor of the Sixth Ward
ran into the house and arrested M'Daniel,
whom he locked up in the Police Station. The
accused is shoemaker, and is said to be com
tortably we'll off in the WORLDLY Y. Tribune.

A SLAVE Born OF WHITE WOMAN FREED
BY A VIRGINIA CoURT-The Richmond En-
ouirer of the 18th inst gives the following
account of a very interesting case which has
been decided in the Botetourt Circuit Court :
Eliza Crawford and five children, colored,
suing for their freedom. The case was decid-
ed in favor of the plaintiffs; the evidence
being full and complete that the chief plaintiff,
Eliza, was born of awhile woman of Georgia.
She is now about thirty-fve years of age, and
has been in slavery between fifteen and twenty
years. Her appearance indicates that her
father was mixture of African and Indian
She is now the mother of six children, all of
whom were plaintiffs, excepting the eldest, who,
never belonged to defendant, and who, it is
said will now be set at liberty without resist
ance There was no evidence, however to,
show that the defendant was in way privy to.
or accountable for, the injuries done the plain

TREMENDOUS Power OF AIR-The tornado
that recently passed over Lapeer County,
Michigan, was the most violent ever eXperienc-
o5 in that State. The damage to the houses,
harms fences and forests is very great. The
heaviest loss will be the destruction of the
rauabIe pine and other timber in its course
Co GREAT was the force of the whiFlwind that
notbing could withstand it. The giants of the
forest which have withstood the storms of a
hundred years, were wrenched from their firm
roots and tossed about like straws. Even
stumps firmly imbedded in mother earth, were
torn rp and carried many rods. Old logs
which had lain upon the ground for years, were
disturbed and torn from their resting places
The air was literally filled with fence rails,
limbs of trees boards, rafters,. shingles, &c,
which we're lifted to an immense hight The
oourse of the whirlwind was in a nearly east
direction, ranging from twenty rods to half a
mile in width and making clean sweep as it
went In some places even the culverts across
tbe roads were torn up by the tornado, and the
roads generally are filled up with promiscuous
assortment of timber and rubbish of all kinds
An eve witness says the whirwind presented
most singular appearance. He says the wind
vouId rise in an immense whirl, drawing up
rails, limbs of trees, boards, leaves, dirt, &c,

FAILURE OF A SAVINGS BANK-IMMENsE DE-
FAlcATIoNs.-The Lancaster Pa. } Savings In
Stitution has Collapsed" and il is said that
the cashier is defaulter to the amount of a
quarter Of million. The Lancaster Herald
SAYS -
The defalcation, it is said, reaches the en-
ormous amount of between $25O,OOO and
$500 Mr.. Boughter was arrested and
committed to the county prison at an early
hour on Tuesday morning. During the day
the excitement was intense, but the word of
the directors having been pledged that a full
statement of the affairs of the institution would
be made public at the earliest practicable mo-
mcnt, it was to a considerable extent allayed.
The property owned by Mr. Boughter is
estimated to be over 100000 his bail is
$4,000, and the capital of the institution is
$4,000, which must all be absorbed before the
depositors can lose anything. 1t is supposed
the loss to the depostors will not exceed $780,
600, which will be less than 25 per cent"
