Brigham Young's Journey.

The Deseret Neacs of April 29, says:
Pursuant to previous arrangements, Gov
ernor Young, accompanied by Presidents
kimball and Wells, and many others from
this city and the settlements south, who
availed themselves of the invitation to par
ticipate in the pleasure of tour through
the northern counties, and thence to the
settlement on Salmon River, in Oregon
Territory, left the city on Friday last, ex-.
pecting to be gone some four or five weeks,
The arduous duties that continually de-
volye upon him while at home, and upon
those associated with him in the man
agement the affairs of the Church and the
Territory, induced him to seek short re-,
lease from the cares of business to refresh
and invigorate his body; and knowing that
the object desired could not be attained
otherwise than to absent himself for
season from the scene of his labors, he re.
solved on making this tour, and invited
those Of the citizens that could leave their
business without inconvenience, and who
would like little pastime of this sort 10
share with him in its enjoyment. NOW
many went from the city we do not Know,
hut some thirty or forty carriages, and
MANY ON horseback, all well provided with
tha necessary means of subsistence and de-
fancs. lef, in the course of the forenoon,
and no doubt the company will be greatly

A PAINFUL ScENE-BURNING OF A
MOTHER AND HER CHILD.-A sad affair
occurred in the town of Aleppo, near Steu-
benville, Ohio, not long since. Mr.. Peter
Lyons, who resided in somewhat secluded
locality, went out on his daily business in
the morning, leaving his wife and young
child at home. On returning, several hours
after, when he came in sight of his place he
saw column of light smoke wreathing up
into the sunlight from the grove where his
home was situated, and hurrying forward,
perceived nothing butt a pile Of smoking
rafters where his house had been. In the
road, near the ruins, lay his wife, writhing
in agony, with her clothes in cinders and
her flesh burned to a crisp in many places.
HischiId was not to be seen; but afterwards,
in raking over the ashes Of the destroyed
habitation, few white bones were discov-
ered-all that was left Of the little creature.
Mrs. Lyons was removed to neighbor's
where, at last accounts, she was still linger-
ing in great distress, and not expected to
survive. -,....f s--...ie. ..ys.--

ige of its present formation. Of what the
destructive power was composed, We are
not prepared to affirm, but of its forces we
can truly attest. Huge trees were tossed
from their deep rooted resting places as
readily as a gardener would pull a radish
from the sandy earth; fences and even
posts were shattered in all directions as if
they were chips, and buildings afforded no
more resistance than a clapboard to a forty
horse power engine. The moving mass of
ruin is represented by all who saw it to
have been vapory substance it was not
accompanied by any wind or storm, but
seemed m Independent agency, travelling
on its own account at a speed of perhaps
mile minute. In its motion there was
constant revolution, and when it was rising,
this whirlwind peculiarity became more
terrific and violent. The peculiar buzzing
sound which was noticed in its passage by
our own citizens, and was also remarked
by the people along its course in Deer6eld
and Schuyler.
All the peculiarities attended by the
phenomenon seem to demand scientific
investigation as to its cause and peculiar cf-
feet. What agency could produce such re-
suits except electricity we are unable to
comprehend; and yet the strange proofs of
destruction exhibited cannot well be ex-
planned on any popular theory connected
with this wonderful agency. The trees
are green in the leaf and healthful in the
bud, and neither wood nor metallic substan-
ces with the element came in contact bear
the slightest mark of heat, or show the
usual marked effects of atmospheric electri
cal contact as destroying power. But we
have no solution of our own that is at all sat
isfactory to ourselves even, much less to give
thereafter The subject is worthy of scientific
exposition, and as the facts and evidences at
tending the phenomenon are fresh and easl-
Iy accessible, we hope some one will under
take the task of reducing to the standard
of the public mind o comprehensive explain
alton of the occurrence.
The lady who was killed was thirty-one
years of age; the child so badly injured is
about five years of age. The building
which the family occupied was known as the
Babtist parsonage, and is about five miles
from the city on the road leading through
Schunyler Corners. Yesterday several
parties visited the scene of disaster, and
all agreed that no description of the utter
ruin wrought can suffice to convey any just
to the public mind.

From the San Diego Herald, May 9TH,
The Fate of the Crabb Expcdli-
tiOn...Full Particulars of the
Defeat and execution of Henry
A. Crabb, and Ninety of his
Party at CarvOca. Sonora.
In our last issue we published rumor
cf the entire destruction of Henry A.
Crabb's party, numbering about 100 men,
by the Mexicans in Sonora. By the fol
lowing statements of the facts, by gentle
man Just arrived from Fort Yuma, it will
be seen that the rumor has been confirmed
He says: p.
The expedition into Sonora, under the
command of H. A. Crabb, has had most
disastrous end.
Late in March, Crabb's party left Sonoi-
ia, Sonora, and marched to Carvoca, a
small Mexican town near Point Lobos, on
the Gulf of California. The first inten-
ton was to have proceeded to Altar, but
news ofits partial fortifcation and suscep-
tibility of a strong defence caused the di-
version on Carvoca. On the morning of
the LIST of April, the party of Americans
entered the suburbs of the town. They
were met by body of Mexican troops,
commanded by Rodriguez. 1t is said Rod
riguez advanced to speak to CIabb, when
the Americans opened fire and killed the
Mexican commander and several others
The Mexicans Immediately retreated-
some to the mountains, but the majority
to the church, which had been placed in
state of defence, and had at the time Crabb
entered the town, number of beeves
resting whole in front of it, to feed the
Mexican troops.
II. appears that here occurred Crabb's
first and fatal mistake. Instead of at once
charging and taking the church, which
would have given him the town, he oc-
cupied several houses on the corner of the
Plaza, in front of the church.
The Mexicans at first deserted the most
OF town, but gradually being embold-
ened returned, and gradually hemmed the
Americans in. Fighting continued eight
days, with loss to the Americans of
twenty-five killed. The Mexican's loss is
reported by themselves to have been twen-,
ty-fve, but is supposed to have been much
greater, as high as 200. On the eighth
day attempt was made by two of Crabb's
men to blow up the church, by placing
keg of powder under the portico and firing
it. The devoted men who. attempted
~ this were both killed, and crabb is said to
have been wounded in experimenting it. 1t
is said an offer was made by Crabb to retire
if the Mexicans would allow it. He had
refused to retire when the offer was made
him, after the fighting had continued two
dsys, and now the Mexicans, confident of
his weakness and their triumph, reused
The Americans were gradually but surely
caught in snare, from which they saw no
escape. -s .s-..-
By breaking through the walls Of the ad-
joining houses the Mexicans forced Crabb
and bis men into the corner buildings,
which they repeatedly set on fire, but which
the Americans as often extipguished. AT
last Papago Indian shot into the roof Of
the main building, occupied by the unhap-
py f1libllsterss, lighted arrow. The
flames caught the roof, and in few mo-
ments the fire was dropping in great fakes
upon the heads Of the doomed men within,

Two WOMEN YoKED TO A PLow.-Du-
ring last week very unusual sight attract
ed the attention of the railway passengers
while the trains were passing through Bish-
option Of Moss. 1t was that of two females
yoked in plow, which was guided by an
ungallant male, who held the stills. The
only way of accounting for this eccentric
proceeding is the suggestion that the land,
which is newly reclaimed, is too light to
admit Of horses being employed.-Gree-

EF The number of emigrants arriving at
New York last week was $4,000. For
the month of May the number is $1,000,
and for the year $4,000, against $4,000

Europe fell off very heavily in 1855 and
1856, but, from present appearances, VIII
this year regain its former activity,
