Log HOUSES.

a correspondent Of the Boston journal,
writing from Minnesota Territory, gives the
following description Of superior style OF
log houses which may interest persons going
WtN: "Nothins is less attractive in appear.
ance than an ordinary log house, the logs
being tumbled together as fast as possible,
and then plastered over with mud. But
give to a Swede the making of house from
logs, and he turns out one which makes it
very doubtful 10 me whether it is not really
the best house that can be made of wood
The reason Of such difference is, that in
their country, as they tell me, their houses
OF wood are never constructed in any other
manner. With few simple tools, princi;-
paay the axe, they hew down the logs to .
thickness Of about Eve inches lmaklng Of
thsm in fact. a sort Of plank and then joint
PIN, and fit them together with . niesty
which our best carpenters would find it hard
TO equal, and which MAKES them a impe-
vious to wind and cold a. the sides Of . well
cauiked ship. In the way Of rural architec-
,ure, this is something We do not read Of,
but it is nevertheless a. comfortable g il Is
unique, and In appearances even IS behind
no other way Of putting wood together that

A BRAVE GIRL.-The Lynn News says
that young lady, residing pear Breeds
Mills, in that town, after retiring, one
evening week before last, heard noise
which caused her to raise her head and
look about the room, when she saw man
crawl out from under her bed Sac i'm.
mediately sprang up, seized a glass lamp,
and just as he had reached an open door,
leading 10 the stairs, caught him by the
collar of his coat, and dealt several severe
blows upon his face with the lamp She
then loosed her hold, and when he had
proceeded half way down stairs, the lamp
came in contact with his head with such
force as to finish his descent heels ovei
head. The police officer, from whom these
particulars were obtained, says the pool
fellow is badly marked, and thinks he vii
not trouble the lady again.

Oh must l die and die so young; and
now, too, when the world has just begun to

Oh! it is hard, hard thus to die-to die an
ignominious death upon the scaffold, my
last moments to be embittered by the
haunting jests and ritaldry Of my enemies.
Must die thus I could have met death
with fortitude upon the battle. field, but to
die the death of fclon how dreadful th3
thought! I, who have INDUCED in the
fond hope of writing my name high upon
the scroll of fame, must /, ere the consum-
nation of the great design, die-die
felon's death oh must bid an eternal
adieu to my aged and beloved mother p
Yes, it must be 50. In vain did you, my
mother, bow in humble supplicaGon before
the tyrant Colborne, to implorc pardon for
your only son. Yes, she bowed before
him, and with her hands extended 10 sup.
plication, cried in wild accents of mo-
ther's wailing-" spare, spare my only
idolized son y but in vain-shc might as
well implore pity of a famishcd tiger. The
monster spurned her from his feet. And

Tho Crops for 1857.

A Journey Of some three thousand miles
within three weeks past, in New York,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virgil
uia, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and
Iowa-fourteen States in all--enablcs US to
give our readers the grateful assurance that
the crops of the present year, according 70
present pr mise, will be unsurpassed. The
hay crop is already secure, and there is
hardly more important crop than this, or
one Of which many portions of the country
have stood in more need during some months
past.
Immense quantities of wheat ard corn
have been sowed ip the great West, and If
some, and even much of the winter wheat
has been killed, the deficiency has been
many times made up in the abundance of
extra land planted. The season has been
everywhere very backward one, and even
more backward in the far West than in the
East. Iuthc western part of Massachusetts,
and New York, considering the latitude,
the crops are more advanced than in almost
any other portions of the country. In
Ohio Indiana and Illinois, the fields look
as if there could be no failure or famine,
neither want or suffering. The scarcity of
the present, arising from two causes, specu.
lalion and emigration West, and which has
made city like ST. Louis place of export
from even Westward is an event entirely
novel in its kind, and which can hardly
occur again. The tn ussnds who have
gone West from New England, the Middle
States, and the South, have had to be
supplied from sources entirely new, and
produce, therefore is about dear at Cincin.
natl, Chicago and st. Louis, as at Boston
and New York. The year of 1867 promises,
we are happy to say, to be year of abun-
dance. Farmers will command good and
even high prices, but not the exorbitant
rates of the present time. No greater
blessing can befal the nation than good
crops, and we ought to pray devoutly for
such q consummation.-N Y. Express. -

Affecting Scene.

DEATH OF A YOUNG LADY IN TIE CARS.
A letter to a Western Editor relates the
following very affecting scene, of which the
writer was an eye witness
"At Michigan city, where we changed
cars, we observed them moving a sick girl,
The party consisted Of brother about
twenty years, sister Of about sixteen,
and the mother. The invalid appeared
about twenty-five, very emaciated, but
those lustrous eyes so common to her dis
ease consumption - and which fascinated
while it panied us to look at her. The
tenderness aud devotion of her posple were
really beautiful. After we had gene some
fifty miles, while she was reclining on her
mothor's breast, who was gently and care
fully smoothing her hair, she suddenly
raised herself and fell back dead. Their
followed such scene of wild and frantic
grief, mingled with the noise Of the rushins
cars, the scream of the locomotive, and th'
confusion of the passengers, that no powc
of mine can describe; and this was cont
nued for fifty miles more. We old tougI
hearts found that there was one spot no
quite hardened"

A Snake Removed .Irom Voman's
S'0"'ach.-The Lagausport (nd PhaOs
states that A. MEYERS, of that city, who
has acquired some celebrity as the inventor
of trap for the removal of tape worms,
has recently performed cure that is
worthy of more than ordinary mention.
Mrs. D. RYAN, Of Fort Wayne, about 20
years of age, has been severely afflicted for
four years with sensation in the stomach,
as though there was some reptile moving init
During that time she was treated for various
diseases by numerous physicians of skill,
and by several for tape worm, Hearing
of DR.. MEYERS new process fer the removal
Of parasite from the human stomach, Mrs.
r. went to Logansport, and placed herself
undnr his oha~esa-
Within two weeks DR.. n. removed from
her stomach snake about 81 feet long,
and l J inches in diameter, instead of ag-
gravating it, as had been the result of the
previous treatment she received. Thelatter
part of her illness she was unable to attendt)
the domestic care of her family or even to
take care of herself. 1t took two hours to
prepare for retiring at night, an equ'l
length of tine before she could lie down
and often she was deprived of sleep for
nights together. Frequently she walked the
floor until exhausted, because unable to lie
down without the most excruciatiog pain.
Mrs. RYAN's own words are that her suf-
ferings were such that she often prayed for
death to relieve them. Mrs. R, supposed
she swallowed the snake, which was appar-
emily of the water species, while drinking
from a spring in the evening at her former
residence west Of Fort Wayne. She left
the care of DR.. NJ, for home, feeling as
though she was saved from worse than
death.

Mail Coach UpSn Do,0n Precipice.-
On Thursday morning, at 7 o'clock, the
Butler mail stage started from Allegheny
City, with an unusually large number Of
passengers-sixteen inside and four or FIVE
on the outside. Nothing worthy Of note
occurred until they were nine miles out
withing three quarters of a mile Of Colts
tavern, when one of the lead horses was
attacked with the blind "staggers," and
rolled over the side Of the road pulling along
the other leader, together with the shaft
horses, and the coach, down a precipico
some thirty feet deep, with rocks at the
bottom. Mr.. john McAllister, of the
Second Ward, Allegheny City, was the
most seriously injured. DR.. Ormsby, a
passenger, examined him, and found that
two of his lower ribs were broken, spine
bruised, and the skin rubbed off his back
His head and shoulders were outside, and
the stage in striking, lodged fair across his
back where it must have remained twenty
mineuts. Had it not been for the yielding
nature of the ground, he would no doubt
have been killed. The other persons hurt
were young man named Ross, of Ale
gheny, Mr., McWhinley, of Pittsburg, and
an old lady with little boy, all of whom
had their legs more or less crushed by
being caught underthc falling stage" Some
of the passengers continued their journey
by the next coach, others returned to
Allegheny in market wagons, and all were
exceedingly thankful that the accident had
not resulted in a fatal termination,
