SHAD.
In years gone by, Bhad fishing was one of
the institutions of the day, and such shad as
those caught in tho Susquehanna, it was in
vain to look for anywhere elso. Tho Con
necticut shad have a high reputation, but
we have heard it said, that they do not equal
those that come up our own Susquehanna.
Wo remember well when the Borough fishery
was a place of great resort, during the fishing
season. It was, indeed, an exciting scene
to witness nonr where tho present dam is
located, the drawing in of a seine, confiuing
City or a hundred of the finny tribe, strug
gling to free themselves from the meshes of
the seine. But that day is past. The age
of improvement has put n stop to shad fish
ing as well as to team driving. Ji is only
in seasons like tho preseut, when the water
has long been high, that shad, in any num
bers reach above the dams below. Several
weeks ago Wm. Gauglcrt of Selinsgrove, who
owns tho fishery on Buyers' Island, two miles
below this place, caught some days as high
as fiix hundred. They have nlso been suc
cessful at Mr. Wolverton's fishery, several
miles further down.
THE CHOI'S.
The preseut season, though late, is not as
unpromising as was anticipated. The grass
crop, winch is, of itself, a most important
one, will prove most abundant. The numer
ous rains have stimulated all kinds of vege
tation, to a most luxuriant growth. Some
six weeks ago, tho probabilities were, that
tho grain crops would full greatly below a
geuerul average, but the indications from
almost all quarters now nro in favor of a fair,
and in muny places, an abundant crop.
Eruit, also, promises uo abundant yield.
Theso are, indeed, great blessings, which a
kiud providence has vouchsafed to bestow
upon us, uud for which we should render up
our thanks.
THE tCAU.V
We have m vcr witnessed so protracted a
ninter as the one just passed. Latt year
vegetation was some two weeks bohind the
usual favorable seasons. This year it is two
weeks later thau lust yoar, or about a month
behind the usuul average. A Cincinnati
editor hag been taking some notes on this
subject, and gives tho following us tho result
of his observations :

GRAIN ASD PROVISIONS.
Perhaps it ia not generally known that
this place ia tho head of market, and that
grain is now selling at a higher price here
than in tho Philadelphia and New York
markets. A short time since wheat was
quoted in this neighborhood at $1,50 per
bushel. It is now selling at $2,00, or from
ten ta twenty cents more than In New York
or Philadelphia. Corn is np to 87 cents)
potatoes to 81,00. The latter are, however,
bringing high prices in tho city. Notwith
standing the improvements in agriculture,
the necessaries of life are every day becoming
more expensive. Butter for the last thirty
years ranged in price from ten to sixteen cents,
averaging perhaps twelve cents. It is now,
however, and has been for six months past,
Belling at 25 cents per pound, about five
cents below New York prices. The price of
grain, and provisions hai advanced in the
cities but not in the same ratio as in some
of the interior towns, especially in the mining
and iron districts.
TitR Comf.t is due on Saturday next, June
13th, according to some astronomers, but
others fix the period a hundred years later.
The question which now agitates tho public

earth tail and foremost, whether that flaming
appendage will be broken smack otT or driven
in. The practical solution of this question
will be announced by telegraph. Philadel
phia Ledger.
sjjr- The public mind need bo nnder no ap
prehensions, as neither of theso events are
likely to occur. Comets are erratic members
of the Planetary family, frequently wander
ing "solitary and alone" in strange and ec
centric orbits. Of the individual whose visit
to this sublunarv sphere is announced for
Saturday, (to-day) we doubt whether even
"his mother knows that ho is out." Ho is
evidently on n bender, and should ho pay us
a visit, it will be a fr'endly one. His tuil
will neither be "broken off or driven in," but
will gracefully lend, to suit the circumstances,
as occasion may require. It is predicted,
however, by some, that he may give Brig'
ham Young and his band of polygamists, a
brush with his tail, as he passes over Utah.
C7" Tun Poisonino Cases. We learn
from the Danville papers that on Monday of
last week, Coroner Haas, and the juries sum
moned in the two poisoning cases at Danville
met at tho Court House. Dr. Simington
testified to the finding of arsenic in both sto.
uiachs, and to the fact that the death of Da
vid Twiggs and Mrs. Clark was caused by
poison. Curtis Herrington, Clerk in Chal-
fant & Hughes Drug Store, testified to sell
ing nrseuic to W. J. Clark, and Robert Ma
Carty testified to selling arsenic to Mrs.
Twiggs.
The verdict of the juries were that the
deaths were caused by'poison, supposed to
have been administered by Mrs. Twiggs and
W. J. Clark Upon this verdict, both pri
soners were committed for trial. There wns
a largo attendance ut the Court House to
hear the evidence. The following is a sketch
of the suspected murderers:
"William John Clark was born in the town
of Morass, in Donegal county, in the North
em part of Ireland, on the 1st day of August
lti!l, and is, luerelore, only il years ot ace
His parents, one of whom (his father) is still
living and reputes in hwrur i reck townsliip
Armstrong county, iu this Stute, belonged to
tliu 1 resbytermu t Lurch, iu which persuasion
the prisoner was brought up. In the spring
ot'lSol, he came to this country, his parents
having L'ono ueloro him about two years, und
landed iu New York, where he worked at a
brickyard during the early part of the sum
mer. In tlio fall ho went to Philadelphia
drovo cart for Thomas Brunson, a coal mer
chant on Broad street, and married his lute
wile (who was poisoned.) on the 27th of Au
gust, 1831. With her he had three children,
two of whom are dead. Tho eldest, now
about S yeais old. is still living, and in charge
of his brother, Iknry Clark, in tho City of
Philadelphia.
In March, 1852, ho went to Armstrong
county and Worked at the Rolling Mill of
Brown, I nilips t o., ut Kittuning. where he
remained for about two years and three
months,, and then returned to Philadelphia,
residing there for about two years again, part
of which time he worked as pnddler at the
Kensington Iron Works, tin tho 14th No
vember, 1855, ho came to Danvillo and was
employed nt the Montour Rolling Mill as a
puddler, where ho has worked ever sinco.
Ho has three brothers who are living Phila
delphia. In stature Clark is about 5 feet 5 or 6 in
ches in height, has n dark luxuriant crop of
hair, heavy black eyebrows, very low forehead
small mouth, black eyes, and a palo though
fair complexion He is rather intelligent,
wears a downcast look, und has hitherto
borne u good character us fur as wo can
learn, liu was a prominent member of the
Proteslunt Afboeialiou of this place. To
tho ihargu laid against him, he leads inno
cence. Mary Twiggi, the other prisoner, whose
maiden name was Met'lintoik, was born in
Ireland, cf Protestant imreuts, nbout one
half-mile from tho town of Conway and is now
27 years of age She arrived in this country
on the 18th of July, 1830, resided for several
years in Philadelphia, aud lived in Danville
since August, 1836. She was married to her
late husband David Twiggs, befere she came
to America, and had fuur children, two of
whom are dead, nod two still living with her
father and brother, who reside in Rudy's ad
dition to the borough of Danville, She is of
a medium height, has black hair, low fiat
forehead, blue eyes, coarse features, and a tol
erable fair complexion. She seems to be ra
ther indifferent as to the charge made against
her, protesting innocence, and professes to be
tncienle.

THE ELECTION RIOTS ARRIVAL OF. SUR
VEYUIt UENERAL Dl llll, OF I TAIL
Washington, Moy 8.
Many of tho most respectable citizens of
Washington have signed a cull for a public
meeting on Thursday afternoon next, to con
demn the, late riots, and sustain the course of
the President and City Authorities in em
ploying military force to quell the disturb
ances. David H. Burr, Snrvoyor General of Ltah,
has arrived home in this city.
.Mr. Burr states, in conversation with his
friends, that the Mormon legion is but poorly
equipped, nnd that a thousand United States
troops would elleclually overawo tliem. He-
lore lie lelt Ltah, the .Mormons had uot heard
of the intention of thu Government to send
a force thither, but they frequently laughed
at the idea of the Government compelling
their obedience to the Federal laws, they
citing the failure to put dowu the disturban
ces iu Kansas as cvidenco of its inefficiency.
He supposes that one-third or one hull ol tlio
Mormous, who are disgusted with Brigham
Young's tyranny, would rise against him,
wete they protected by United States troops.
Mr. Burr does not apprehend that tho .Mor
mons will show fight. It is the duty of every
cood Mormon to obey tho Church as the
highest law, and hence un opinion is enter
tained thut Young may leave tho Territory
with a lurgo force of his deluded followers,
provided he can und some other seal lor uis
Government.
Mr. Burr says that Suit Lako is the mean
est settlement he ever beheld, everything
having the appearance of abject poverty.
Brigham Young's word is luw, and the op
pressions of the Mormons is cruel, and with
out remedy from tho present rulers. There
ore about hTty gentiles only in tho Territory,
who are ohjec's of bitter persecution.
According to thu statement of Captain
Tyler, who commanded one of the companies
ol Marines at thu riot on last Mouduy, he
gave thu order "after tin cuplure of the
swivel from the rioters'' to lire, the discharges
being from one plutoon only, nnd irregulurly,
und each of thu marines firing ns they saw
the flashes from the pistols discharged at
them by the rioters, who fired as tbey re
treated. The Company commanded by Captain
Maddox, according to the sumo authority,
did not liro until a marine, hud been wounded
in thu cheek by a bull, coming out at his
moulh.
It is confidently asserted that several of
thu "Plug Uglies" have recently died, whilu
thoso iu Baltimore ore suffering from severe
wounds. Judge llolling.iheud. who is of the
A merican party, has refused an application
for a wurruut to urrest Mayor Magruder on
the chargu of murder. Tlio ground of the
application was that he had given the order
to tire.
The Secietary of the Navy has not decided
whether any of the five steam sloop.i-of war
shall be built by private contract.
