TIE GRAIN CkoP OF EURoPE-The
Boston Journal thus epitomizes the in
formation respecting the European grain
crop of 1858, as derived from she latest
foreign papers:
In tho countries bordering on the
Mediterranean the crop is variously re-
ported, but upen the whole may be re-
garded as equal to, if not exceeding an
average. Egypt will furnish a full Rv-
erage. Spain and Portugal will not
require any supplies from other coun-
tries. In Belgium and Holland there
is an average crop; while in the Baltic
regions, including Northern Germany
aud Western Russia, the yield is below
an average, although. high prices may
induce exports to some extent. LII
France there is a fair crop of wheat and
rye, oats inferior. OF the cereal cror
Of England, the average, and a portion
of the extraordinary wheat yield of last
year still remains in the hands of far
mers to be added to this years harvest
Other breadstufs are somewhat under
the average. In Ireland all kiuds o
produce are abundant, compared will
recent years. The wheat crop of Scot
land is excellent, other crops being me
dunn, and possibly below. On the
whole, the United Kingdom will thii
year require smaller imports of grair
than in ordinary seasons. The supply
ing power of Central Russia is not ye
determined.

TnRHLING INSTANCE OF FAITH.--A
clergyman in this city read a letter at
one of the SAMSON streetnoonday prayer
meetings this week from a young man of
his acquaintance who was on board the
i'll fated Austria, in which he detailed
the last interview between himself and
Eve Christian comrades, who persisted
beneath the waves. As soon as the de-
structio1 of the vessel was found incv-
liable, these six young men took a po-
sition between the flames and the water,
with the understanding that at the last
moment they would unitedly consign
themselves to the latter. In the bare
moment thus allowed to contemplate
their fate, their hope in Christ was con
fdently expressed, and when to escape
the spreading fire their leap became ne
cessary, they fcndly grasped each Others
hand, and with a parting FAREWELL
and an expressed confidence that IN a
few moments they would meetin Heaven,
they sprang into the sea. The writer Of
! the letter states that, after sustaining
himself in the water by means of a life
preserver for four hours, during which
time his contemplation of a future state
ripened into a joy in believing in his Sa,
vior such as he had never before expo
rienced I, a vessel hove in sightf for his re-
lease, so that just at the moment when
his exhausted energies brought the oper
hdoor of Heaven more temptingly to view:
he was made the subject of an earthly
rescue. The reading of the letter re
tferred to elected an outburst of feeling
all over tho room.-PhiLG. Press.

The Union on Thieves.

The police records of Paris contain a
report that two sets of thieves found
themselves face to face on the premises
of an absent banker, and the one sup
posing that the ether came to defend the
treasure, opened a terrific war for its
possession. The struggle was a fierce
and bloody one, resulting in the sudden
death, of about half of each gang, when
they discovered the nature of the en-
counter; aud hat both parties were in
pursuit of the same common plumber.
An armistice was declared; the robbers
divided the booty amongst them, and
found, to their great satisfaction, that,
after deducting the deaths, they had
come into possession of just what either
gang would have acquired had they been
alone in the robbery. 1t has occurred
to US, while rejecting upon the past
quarrels of the Republicans and Know
nothings, which have resulted in sad
loss to both interests, that they are now
pretty much in tho condition of the Par
is villains. The pursuit of plumber was
able to bring them together at last, and
the survivors are, perhaps, about as well
rewarded as they would have been before
their losses. How they are to escape
the police of the popular mind hereafter
is another matter. 1t is not their first
o~ffense, and we greatly fear will not be
their last.-W Washington URlOn.

Execution of a Woman in Penn

DANvrLLE, Pa, Oct. %, 1853.
The Clark and Twiggs tragedy was
TO day brought to a conclusion by the
execution of Mrs. Mary Twiggs for the
murder of Mrs. Clark.
Mrs. Twiggs was convicted of them ur-
der of Mrs. Catharine Ann Clark, by
poisoning her with arsenic. The hus-
band of Mrs. Clark was convicted OF the
same charge; and was hung on the Goth
of last month. The crime was commit
ed in the spring of 1857. Mrs CLARK
had been on q visit to Philadelphia,
returned to her home in bad health. The
poison is supposed to have been admins
tered in her medicine. Mrs. Twiggs
acted as nurse to Mrs. Clark and was
the only one who attended Mrs. Clark
during her illness. Both were convic-
ted on the strongest circumstantial EVIL,
dence. A new trial was applied for, and
a writ of error argued before tho SUI
preme Court, when the decision of the
lower tribunal was confirmed. Every
effort was made to obtain a pardon for
Mrs. Twiggs. Petitions were extern
slVely circulated and signed, but Gov.
ernor Packer, after a careful review OF
all the circumstances in connection with
the case, positively refused to grant the
request.
The condemned woman passed last
night rather comfortably, sleeping with
her children in her arms. She babe fare
we'll to her brother and children this
morning, and, after devotional exercises
in her room, was taken to the scaffold
at a quarter past ten O'Clock, leaning on
the arm of one of her spiritual advisers.
4 chapter having been read, and an
impressive prayer offered up on the scat
fold, Mrs. fwiggs spoke for six or eigh'
minutes, protesting her Innocence, de,
claring her readiness to die, andher trus'
in a just Judge. only regretting to leave
behind her her two orphan children.
She was much affected throughout
The solemnity of the, scene was made
more impressive by her groans and hei
sobs. Even after the. cap was drawn
over her face, she appealed to God II
the most earnest manner, and she assert
ed her innocence. t -,
At half-past ten O'CLOCK the drop fell
and after struggling for a few moments
the wretched woman hung l~ifeless.

1--WE 6ud the following in Satur-
davis Cleveland Herald. We hope, for
the credit of our citizens implicated,
and of our county, tina: there may be
some mistake about the matter. We
are acquainted with u or two of the
Messrs. DokLAND, and esteem them as
upright and honorable men:
Ohioans in Troubls.
The Chicago Tribuns notices the ar.
rest in that city of John Dorland and
George Dorland of Ashland county, o.,
on a charge of swindliDg. The fac's
relative thereto seem to be as follows:
Two young men, Benham and Barnet,
started from Texas with five hundred
cattle for Fort L~eavenworth. On the
wav prospects grew dark, and while
grazing their herd, Denham and Barnet
met Garrett Dorland, of Ashland coun-
ty, who was on his way to Chicago with
a drove of mustang horses. The young
men feeling discouraged, and having
their all in the drove of cattle, 'were
induced to sell the drove to Dorland, for
SIG per head-total sS272-and Dor
land gave his note for that Amount, pay
able in four months. John and George
are sons of Garrett Dorland and John
was security for the payment of the
note.
Dorland then hired Benhem and Bar
net at $50 per month, to help drive the
horses and cattle to Chicago, where
they arrived on the 18th, the day the
note matured. There Dorland, the ell
der, determined to pack the beef and got
an advance thereon of $4,000, but Dor
land put off payment of his note from
day to day when a few nights since nc
was missing. The sons Dorland enter
tanned, or feigned to, anxiety about then
father. Finally the young Dorland ex:
bibited a letter which he said he received
From his father, which read thus
