manner and then drove her and her two chill

foggy night. The afflicted woman, only half
clothed, and the two little children, without
shoes or stockings, found refuge in the house Of
Mr.. Steel, about three-quarters of mile dis

FAILURE OF THE GRAIN CROP IN EUROPE.
Considerable has been said, lately, in re-
lation to the partial failure of the grain
crops in portions of Europe, and the rea-
der may feel interested in the following
view of the prospect by the n. Y. Shipping 6
List:-"The Times has no doubt that, jndg'
ing by present appearances, the harvest
will be month later than usual, and then
very deficient in quality. A deficiency of
at least four millions is already estimated
as certain. The same state of things OBJ
tains in France, where the weather has
been all along even worse than in England.
Throughout Germany and the South of Eu-
rope the yield is more likely to be under,
than up to the ordinary average. 1t would
seem to be tolerably clear, therefore, that
if England and France must draw upon
foreign countries to make good their de-
ficiency at home they will come into the
markets of the United States. For that
matter. indeed, England is here already,
but not to such an extent as to materially
influence the ordinary average of prices.
In the course of another month or six weeks
however, there is every reason to believe
we shall have to meet a largely augmented
demand from abroad, and as our country
was seldom in a better position 10 meet
that demand the farmers, the country mer-
chants, the railroads and the ship owners
are alike to be congratulated on the pros
pect ahead"

REMAINS OF WILLIAM S. SPEAR:-It is re-

Ormsby, and others, in battle with Indians
on Truckee river, last spring. The company of
explorers, recently returned from Pyramid
Lake to Downieville, brought with them the
remains, which were prepared and forwarded to
the friends of deceased, who reside in New
York. The body was found nearly destroyed
by animals, but still recognizable, and was
carefully packed in box and carried from place
to place until the explorers returned to the set
