Another Sign Appearing

ANOTHER SIGN APPEARING.—In enumerating the characteristics of the last days, our Saviour says, "there shall be famines." It has been announced by the public prints, that in Hungary, the harvest has failed for the last two years. The plains of the Theis, which, from their extreme fertility, have been called the granary of Hungary, are now little better than a desert. The numerous flocks and herds which compose the wealth of this pastoral people have perished. Townships which formerly possessed from 20,000 to 30,000 head of cattle, now have not 1,000 left. Many farmers, for want of fodder, have been obliged to slaughter their oxen, sheep and pigs, and good horses have been sold for 2f. or 3f. each. The excessive severity of the winter and sickness have further aggravated the sufferings of the people. At this moment starving multitudes are wandering about the country, men, women and children, pale and emaciated, to an extent fearful to behold.
