crowd vas in and about the Office Of Justice
Walter, the occasion being the trial OF the case
Of Ellen Dorsey against owen Sullivan, for the
value Of two hogsLs30. Mr.. NJ. Ii. Norris APP

consent, and therefore she sues for their value
little girl testified to the ownership of the
hogs, al ffrs Sullivan testified that she bon gbt
them from Mrs. Dorsey's son, who, she thought,
was honest, and that she paid 81 80 for the hogs

and the case was postponed.

An AWFUL THUNDER SToRM-Thc
Harrisburg { Pa Patriot, Of the Both Of
June, is responsible for the following
description of n recent thunder storm.
1t says
We were informed yesterday that
the thunder storm which passed Cor
rather hung over Dauphin late on
Monday night surpassed any thing in
furiousnesi that had ever been known
before In that town. Very aged people
who had lived in the vicinity all the
days of their lives declare that it was a
fearful spectacle-that all prior occur
renee were as nothing compared to it.
For two hours and half there was peal
after peal Of terrific thunder and fash
after fash Of binding lightning, with
scarcely moments cessation. Hous
cs shook as if they were on the verge
of topping down every minute. A
number of persons were knocked down
by the force Of thunder during the
night. Many trees in the vicinity
were mutilated by the lightning, but
fortunately not house was struck All
thcinhabitants Of Dauphin were up out
of bed during the prevalence OF the
storm; and the relief they experienced
when it had spent it's fury is beyond
description. The cause of the phono.
menon in the heavens is said TO have
been the coming together of three
storms from opposite directions.

Crops at the South

For two years past tho earth has

people Of che South, and now il is com.
ing TO their succor third time. All
throughout the Southern States the
CROP are better thsn an average, .sud
with no untimely frost, will afford
satisfactory yield. In few places in
Georgia and Alabama there are com.
plants of lack of showers. but these
are limited to certain localities. The
wheat and oats harvest is generally Gu.
dcd, and the yield is pronounced very
good; the wheat particularly is boosted
of, as being white aud plump of grain,
and full-headcd on the stalk. Grain
raising has not heretofore been much
Of feature in Southern culture, Sat
the quantity of wheat sown is steadily
increasing, and is much larger this year
than usual. The cotton everywhere
looks thrifty and promises we'll The
crop Of this great staple for the present
year viii approximate nearer to the
great Drop of 1859, in quantity, than
any raised since the war, and sol! at
fifteen coats a pound, will pour another
two hundred millions of money into the
pockets of the Southern people, with
which to prosecute their work of con.
structing railroads and building yarn
mills. In Texas the crops are spoken
of as unusually fine. That great State,
lately become the theatre Of active and
varied enterprise, will produce nearly
enough grain and meat for its own food,
and have all its cotton crop and large
herds of cattle to sell. All the South.

OF Virginia and North Carolina, are

years; but Texas surpasscs them all

NITRO GLYCERINE.-The dangerous
character of this material, says the Bos.
ton .j0rndi, was well illustrated few
years ago on the passage ola ship from
Liverpool to this port. After being a
time at sea the captain discovered box
near the main hatch which excited his
suspicion that its contents was the
dreaded nitro glycerine, and without
hesitnting he Immediately ordered its
careful removal aft and threw it over
board from the stern of the ship. Upon
its striking the water terrific cxplo.
sion followed, and column of water
sixty feet high was thrown into the air,
but fortunately tho vessel escaped in.
jury Had the box been cast over from
the side instead of the stern, the broad
side of the ship would probably have
been smashed in, but as the vessel was
under good Roadway she was enabled to
leave clear space of water between her
and the box before the explosion took
place.

The Scranton Republican tells a
mourntul story of casualty on the
Lackawana and Bloomsbury Railroad
last Saturday night. A Mrs. Gaxen.
with three children, two little BOYS, aged
five and seven years, and a babe. was at
the depot to take train. She put her
two little boys in car, and then return.
ed to the station for her babe. Mean.
while the train started. The station
master signalled the conductor to stop.
and the little boys screamed at being
carried away from their mother. But
1t seems that the train neither stopped
nor was any care taken of the children
The mother telegrapbed to put them off
at Scranton. Nothing further is known
OF them until they were found on the
railway track about two o'clock Sunday
morning-the youngest one killed, and
the other lying insensible, with his arm
cut off close to the shoulder. The poor
little wanderers had been run down by
train in deep cut but how or why
they were off the train no one knows.
