The harvest In EnrOne.

By mail from Europe we have the follow
ing resume ofthe harvest prospects prevail
ing at the great food supply centres on the
LIST of October, as reported in Paris:
The accounts ofthe harvest in Germany
are very unequal, varying in different dis
tricts from good 10 far below the average
yield. On the whole, the grain harvest of
middle Germany was below the average;
that OF the Southern States was far better.
From Austria we hear that.the yield of corn
IL considerably smaller than in the last two
years; the same is true of Roumania. The
Russian harvest il stated TO have been good
and the crops have no where failed 30 COM
pletely as in some places last year. The
fodder is everywhere poor, with the excep-
ton of n few mountainous districts. There
has been very little clover, and both the hay
and surrogate have been much injured by
the unfayorable weather. On the other
hand there has been q good deal OF straw.
Both potatoes and beets have suffered from
the heat and drought Of July and the rains
of August. The disease has also appeared
with more or less virulence in some parts,
The hopes entertained for the potato har-
vest are not, therefore. high; but il is said
that the beet In improving. The hops are
said to be in a very poor condition, partly
on account Of the weather and partly from
the insects and the disease, which haveap
peared in many gardens. Scarcely n quar-
ter of the usual yield is expected. But lii.
tie fruit has been gathered, and even what
was ii poor in quality. This is particular.

yintages, as the quantity of grapes is small
and their quality interior.

Holly Correspondence Detroit Free Press, oct. IS.
One Of the worst cases of crime that has
ever t%ransplred in our midst, or, indeed,
that has ever come under my notice, is
that Of q Methodist clergyman by the
name Of Washington w. WEIGH, who is
now under arrest and examination before
Justice Baker, Of this village, charged
with having committed rape upon the per-
sQp-of Louisa j. Green, wife Of Elder o.
~ L. Green, OF this township, also a
clergyman of the Methodist persuasion,
and a man of property and average stand
ing in community. As this matter 10 the
all-absorbing topic of conversation here
abouts, unusual publicity has already been
given to ii, and there is no reason why the
facts as they are alleged, or as they appear,
should not be legitimate matter for publi-
cation in the journals Of the day.
II seems that the defendant, Welch, met
and became acquainted with Elder Green
in Pennsylvania, where he, Welch, resided.
and being a man of some property. and
having ready money 30 invest, was induced
by Green to visit Holly for that purpose
He came here some time last spripg he
came acquainted with Elder WhitcOmb.
then pastor of tho Methodist Episcopal
Church in this village, and divided his
m IN visiting among them. II is stated
that he and Elder Green were associated / IA
certain business transactions, and WEIGH
himself claims that Green owes him SO. 600.
When WEIGH left here on the 18th Of Sep
TENDER last, he had, previous to that time,
been stopping for some timo at Elder
Green's house, about six miles from this
village, in the northwest part Of the town,
and it is alleged that the crime was com,
mitted on the morning previous TO his de
parlure. He left here ostensibly 10 attend
the Conference held at Grand Rapids, but
was arrested on Friday last by officer Eli
Sattles, Of Pontiac, and NJ. NJ. Bunham.
Of this place, at White Pigeon, in the south
ern part of the state. He was a%rraipned
before Justice Baker on Saturday afternoon
last, and put in a plea of not guilty.

Nor Much OF A NIcroRY.-Th Philadel-
phia Inquirer, radical, is not disposed to
be excessively jubilant over the result of
the recent election in Pennsylvania. It
says:
Now that Grants majority Of %, 900 is
cut down to one-tenth OF the amount, or to
even q still lower sum, il is more impor-
tant than ever that the prudent counsels
UNDECIDED heretofore shall be observed
hereafter. Democratic ascendency will
inevitably be restored, in Pennsylvania il
the managing politicians of the republican
party persistin making unpopular nomina.
tions. They have already loaded down the
organization with 80 many unnecessary
burdens that another feather will break its
back.
The Inquirer admits that its success has
been in no way owing TO the virtues of the
radical party, but rather TO the mismanage-
mont Of it's o~pUonouts.

toned sum, is a question none but boys
can answer There are always hundreds
Of lads TO be had at $50 a yeaf--in fact the

THE Discovery OF GOLD IN MoHTaoNr-
cry COUNTY, MD.-In reading of the dis.
coyery OF gold on the farm of Robert Da.
wilson, Montgomery county, Md, / am
reminded of what the celebrated Baron
Humboldt said OF the existence Of cold.
that it was generally found in ranges OF
mountains running north and south, rarely
ever in those running east and west. This
is generally 30, Look at the Ural Noun
tains in Europe, the ranges in California
and Australia, the A~lleghanies in the
States &c. The hills in Montgomery
county, Maryland, may, / suppose, be con,

Coal ON CASPIAN CoAsF. One OF
the predictions Of Won Humboldt has re-
Gently been fulfilled in the finding of coal
on the eastern shore of the Caspian sea.
BY this fortunate discovery steamships will
no longer be required to obtain wood fuel
at great expense, from the Ural Noun
tains. Forty years ago Humboldt con-
cluded, from the existence of coal oil
springs which abound in that section, that
coal existed there, but until a few months
ago none has never been mined.

franklin Dyre, a highly respectable and
intelligent farmer Of Galena, Kent county,
Nd, gives the following as a sure cure for
the bite Of a mad dog. As will be seen, he
has tested 1t, with the most gratifying re-
suits:
Elecampane is plant well known TO most
persons, and is to be found in many OF
our gardens. Immediately after being
bitten take one and a half ounces of the
root Of the plant-the green root is perhaps
preferable, but the dried will answer, and
may be found in our drug stores, and WAS
used by me-slice or bruise, and put into
a pint of fresh milk, boil down to half
a pint, strain, and when cold drink it,
fasting at least six hours afterward. The
next morning repeat the dose fasting, using
two ounces OF the root. On the third morn
ing take another dose, prepared as the last,
and this will be sufficient. 1t is recon-
mended that after each dose nothing be
eaten for six hours.
/ have n son who was bitten by q mad
dog eighteen years ago, and four other
children in the neighborhood were also
bitten; they took the above dose, and are
alive and well to this day. AndI have
known "A number of others who were bitten
and applied the same remedy
II Is supposed that the root contains q
principle, which being taken up by the
blood in it's circulation, counteracts or neu.
tralizes the deadly effects of the virus Of
