HEAVY FAILUREs.-The Providence Journal
says the failure of a. C. & 6. Curtis, paper ma
kers. Newton Lower Falls, is reported.
From the Boston Advestiser of the 2Sth we
learn that the well known and hitherto success
full publishing house of Messrs. John P. Jewett &
Co., has been obliged to suspend payment We
understand that losses which occurred last Fall
and Winter were the original cause of this step.
Although Mr.. Jewett has used his whole pr OPP
erty, which was considerable in the effort to
meet his obligations, the distressed state of the
money market has compelled sacrifices that have
rendered every means unAvailing to prevent sus-
pension. The liabilities are now about 100000
and assets the same.
s.. H. & c. W. Foster, auctiOneers, in New
York, failed on Saturday.

THE NEW BosToN MAeAzrSR.-The New
York Tribune Of the 2Sth has sneering edto-
rial upon the announcement Of Messrs. Phillips
& Sampson that they will commence the publi-
cation Of q new monthly magazine in Boston on
the list Of November. Considering the fact that
the Tribune is indebted to Boston talent for nine
tenthS Of It's best editorials, and that Mr. Gree
ley's bread has been buttered with Boston brains
for many years past, we think such slurring in
advance Of a new enterprise, is as unkind as it

THE WEATHER AND THE CRoPs.-The delight
full weather Of the past week has placed the corn
crop in this vicinity beyond the reach of danger
from frost, and it is ripening off with great rap
idity. The yield is unusually heavy, and the
quality is far above that of average years in this
vicinity. o-a
The potato rot appears to have been suddenly
checked by the cold spell of fortnight SINCE and
late potatoes will be better than was anticipated
two or three weeks ago, as the tubers in many
fields are still growing.
Of other root crops, the yield is large beyond
precedent. It is well for US that with the pros.
pect of Winter of unusual severity, as far as
labor and wages are concerned that bountiful
Providence has opened wide its hand; and caused
the earth to bring forth abupdautly of every good
thing for the use and comfort of mankind.

The Concert, last evening, was brilliant af-
fair. 1t was attended by an intelligent and fash
ionable audience, and 1t was one of the most de-
lghtful entertainments we have had in Worcester
for long time, and we are happy to find that this
talented troupe met with the appreciation and
success to which their merit SO justly entities
them. 8 A
Miss Anna Vail was in excellent voice, and
sung most delightfully."-. Her cavatina, from the
opera Linda, was rendered with SO much express
sion, taste, and feeling that it carried the whole
audience at once. Then, in the grand cavatna
and siena, from the opera Lucia, she sung with
great passion and excellent taste, and enchanted
the audience. Miss Vail possesses a voice of un-
usual sweetness and compass her musical in
tonation possesses great hexibili.y, while her
bellishments are conceived in fine taste, and al
ways executed with brilliancy and effect She is,
withal, an elegant and accomplished lady.
The brothers Mollenhauer were great feature
in the concert. The instruments under their mas
terly hands pour forth food of melody which
touches and exercises every feeling of the heart
Edward Mollenhauer played the Witches
Dance" by Paganini, in sty lie and manner such
as we never neafu oeiOte' linen MS sylphide, so
beautiful and elegant, the melody seemed be.
witchiug, and was played in a finished and mas
terly style. Henry Mollenhauer, on his bass vi,
oloncclo, took the audience by his surprise. His
carnival was real treat, and the splendid duett,
"Sounds from Home, was played SO delicately
that it drew sigh from the audience.
Herr SchTeiner, on the piano, is a great acqui-
sition to the troupe, and he played in a manner
that few can equal.
On the whole, this was a most excellent
| concert.
