Tub 4th in Carlisle. —The national holi day passed off quietly in our borough. At ear ly cock-crow thirteen rounds of cannon were fired from the square. Soon after sun-riso the busy note of preparation was observed among our firemen, who, in flashy shirts and patent leather belts, were preparing to take the cars for Chambersburg to join in the celebration at that place. At an early hour they were on the streets with their beautifully decorated engines, and marched to tho depot to take the cars. — Ihey returned in the evening in good trim,well pleased with their trip. Tho Junior Cadets. Capt. Stevenson, had a parade both forenoon and afternoon, and united their efforts with oth ers lo scare up the American eagle and call down the shade of Washington. This com pany is composed of lads of from 12 lo 15 years of age, and is well drilleff and presents a fine appearance. The juveniles were also busy in firing crackers, racers, &c., to the constant an noyance of sober minded men and sour old maids. Several little parties of ladies and gen tlemen repaired to tho country lo enjoy them selves in a quiet manner, and away from the “ noise and confusion ”of the town. In the evening a fine display of fire works attracted a large crowd of our citizens to the square, who were delighted with the exhibition. The wea ther was charming, and no accident of any kind occurred in our county that wc have heard of. Dickinson College—The Commencement. —This being the annual commencement week of Dickinson College, our town is filled with strangers, attracted here to witness the cxcrci scs, many of whom have sons, wards, or rela tives in the Societies and tho graduating class.

A' Great Man Fallbn !—Ex-Governor William L. ‘Mauct.'lute Secretary of State, died suddenly, at Ballslown, N. Y., on Satur day last. He was found dead in his room.— Gov. Marcy was about 70 years of age. Ilia remains have been takcu to Albany lor inter ment. {£7*yho Court of Appeals of the Stale of New York have given their decision in relation to the City Police Bill. The decision declares tho bill to be constitutional—six of the Judges agreeing to the decision and two dissenting.— Mayor Wood has accordingly discharged his police force. The Philadelphia Timcj calls Gen. Pack cr, our candidate for Governor, “a trimmer." The Pittsburg Post says, a most excellent • school-teacher was also called "a trimmer” by ► the juveniles under his charge; and Gen. Pack er will "trim" David Wilroot & Co., at the next election, as the pedagogue used to ■•trim” his pupils. The Supreme Court not Slaveholders. Tho Washington Unton says, tho majority of tho Supreme Court arc not owners of slaves, as has been repeatedly asserted. Four of iho Jus tices reside in free Stales, and the Chief Justice has not owned ft slave for thirty years. They came to bun by Inheritance, but ho voluntarily gave tlutai their freedom, and two, who were too old to take care of themselves, he provided far during their lives.

TUB MTIOSAt AD3IIWSTB4TKE The administration of Mr. BucnANANlias been in existence four months, and, if wo may judge from the (one of the public press and UlO senti ments of the people, as expressed in public as semblages, it lias more than met the most san guine hopes of its friends, and rendered salis taction to the country at large. ■ Tbedifflcullics so long existing in Kansas and Utah, will soon bo adjusted ; a friendly intercourse and good understanding is being cultivated with all for eign States; the revenue of our own country is on the increase, and the Treasury is full to re pletion ; the husbandman is receiving more than a remuneration for his toil, and general health and prosperity prevails throughout the Union. Indeed, our country has never experienced a greater degree of prosperity, our people were never more happy in the enjoyment of their in estimable privileges. " Thus far, then, the ad ministration of James Buchanan has been em- inently successful, and has made a most favor able impression upon the minds of the masses. Pending the exciting Presidential contest last fall, wo contended for the election of Mr. Buch anan, not merely from parlizan feelings, but because wc felt convinced ho was the man for the crisis—a statesman possessing experience, ripe knowledge, honesty, and spotless private character; one who had never attempted to conceal or mystify bis opinions, and whose pa triotism and love of country was proverbial. - Wo felt convinced, that, if ho should be called to the Presidency, w bo would not dis appoint the expectations of the country nor blast the hopes of the great Democratic party—a party whose principles has so tong defended and still reveres. Wc rejoice that ou% predic tions, thus far, have been verified, and that the administration of President Buchanan gives such universal salisfac ion to the country. Wo feel satisfied, too, that at the end of his four years term the people will accord to him “well done, good and faithful servant.” Mr. Buchanan was peculiarly fortunate in selecting his cabinet. They are all great men —great in mind, influence, character and ca pacity, and this it is that sheds lustre upon the administration, and furnishes another evidence of the wise discrimination and sagacity of the President. With such administrative talent-os is combined in the cabinet of Mr. Buchanan, there can bo “no such word as fail.” The people feel safe and secure when the affairs of their country arc confided to such statesmen as Buchanan, Cass, Black, Brown, Cobb, Floyd Toucy and Thompson. Four of them arc ex-Oovcrnors, and, with the exception of Judge Black, all of them have served their constituents in Congress, and b&vo earned na- tional reputations. Such being the men and the character of the administration, it is in vain for a reckless abo- lition press to attempt to make opposition, and misrepresent the ac's of President Buchanan. flis character for iutegrity of character and statesmanship, was established and acknowl edged before some of his assailants were born, ■and it is labor lost for (hem now to attempt lo tear the well-earned laurels from his brow.— They may, for the soke of manufacturing polit ical capital, try to mislead the people by pub lishing that which they know to bo false, but the acts of the President is what will be looked at, and by them wilt he be judged by his conn- trytnen. Thus far, then, tto repent, the afl : ministration of Mr. Buchanan has met the most sanguine expectations of tho country, and wc feel a confidence in predicting for it a bright fu- The Crops la the Son 111. The wheat harvest hi Georgia and Alabama, is over, and the papers say, that both as to t quantity and quality, it is the best ever had in t those Slates. Oats, rye and barley arc all c- < qunlly good. Corn looks promising. New 1 wheat is selling at $1 per bushel. 1 In North Carolina and Virginia tho wheat is I now being harvested, and is also represented as being good. New wheat brings $1,50 at Fred ericksburg, Va. In some portions of Maryland, particularly on the Eastern Shore, the armp worm bos been j very destructive to tho wheat, grass and corn crops. 'ln the western section of the Slate the wheal is said to be very finer. Tire Cavbesof Dpau Beef.—The graziers and , drovershavo boon blamed for combining to keep up tho prices ot bool and forming monopolies. *' A Grazier,” in tho (Irrmantown Telrgraph, who fools lliM both sides should bo hoard, do foods his brcllnuD from these charges, olid says (ho simple truth is, that tho consumption of boof in this country is gradually becoming greater than its capacities of supply, and that it Is tho same case In Franco and’England! lib assorts that the graziers make no more profit at prusonl from cattle than they did several year* since, If wo consider tho enhanced value of everything they themselves have to purchase, for they now procure cattle from tho drover at an advance of 50 per cent, over what they thou did j and ho in turn, from the scarcity and value of cattle every where, is compelled lo purchase of tho breeder ot (bo somo Increased price. The true remedy then suggests itself, which Is, to bo less wasteful in tho consumption ul beef than wo have hilli. orto been, and to cease tho slaughter of our calves. ''Grazier”contends that with (ho wide domain still possessed In each of our Slotcs for pasturage, (ho roaring of cattle should bo o por tion of every farmer’s business, large and small, and that a system of Judicious paslurago will nurture his soil, and Increase Its power of pro duction beyond any other moans ho can atlopt. Ills advice Is ‘do keep our calves and raise them, and lot tho knights of tho cleaver do without real for their city friends, while In Iho mean time wo may permit the laws of trade to regu late a matter which (buy have always done and always will do.” There appears touch forco in > these remarks, and os the anhjoel is ono that largely interests Iho general community, wo ; should like to hear a more feasible plan for ob* ’ talnlng cheap beef, 11 It can be dbvlscd. Coinage of tub Mint.—During the month of Juno, the coinage at the U. S. Mint in Phila delphia was $2,843,832 pieces, of tho valuo of $310,000, of which $23,496 was in gold : $205,- 000 In silver, and $22,000 in copper. Tho cents coined numbered 2,200,000. Tho gold bullion deposited amounted to- $217-,CGO, of which $207,434,50 was from California, silver bullion deposited $1,197,160, of which $1,104,- 990 included purchases, and $32,100 Spanish and Mexican fractions of o dollar, received In exchange for new cents. Of old stylo copper cents, received in exchange for new cents, tho value was $9,280. Of coins on hand at tho dose of tho month tho value was 8361,135,27 iu silver and cents, and $377,093,72 in gold. The Main iliie-When Will The Purchasers Take Possession T Since (bo sale of the Main Lino of tho Public Improvements, tbo question has been repeated ly asked, when will tbo Pennsylvania Railroad Company take possession of their purchase 1 — A reference to tho net under which (ho sale was made, gives us tho Information songht fori 1. Tho purchasers, on tho day ol sale, lode posit $lOO,OOO in cash or State bonds, in (ho hands of tho Governor, as a pledge for comply ing with the terms of sale, and to bo forfeited in cose of non-compliance. 2. Tbo amount of sale to bo paid in tho bonds of tho Company, bearing interest at tho rate of 6 per cent, per annum, $lOO,OOO of which bonds shall bo payable on tho 81st of July, 1858, and annually thereafter, until the 81st of July,lB9o, when 51,000,000 of tho residue shall bo payable, and $1,000,000 annually thereafter until tho wholo Is paid. 8. As soon as tbo purchasers shall make the payment and deliver (ho bonds required, and fully comply with tbo conditions of tho act, the Secretary of tho Commonwealth shall transfer to such purchasers, under-tho Great Seal of tbo State, tho whole Main Lino of Public Works, between Philadelphia and Pittsburg, consisting of tbo Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, tbo Eastern division, tho Juniata division, and (ho Western division of tho Pennsylvania Canal, tho interest of tho State in tho bridge at Duncan's Island, and all tbo property, buildings, machin ery, locomotives, cars, materials, &c., belonging to the same; subject to all existing contracts made by tho State in respect to tbo uso of said Works. 4. As soon as (bo purchasers shall glvb no tico to the Governor of their readiness to take possession of tho Works, ho shall cause notice thereof to bo given to all tho Superintendents, Collectors, Officers and Agents of (he Common wealth employed on tho same, who shall thence forth continue In their several duties and em ployments, ot tho expense of tho purchasers, until romoved'or ro-appointed. This la (ho substance of (hose portions of tho Act which relate to tho terms of sale, and tho time and mode of transfer. It will bo seen that tho execution of tho bonds is all that Is neces sary to enable tho Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany to take Immcdlatopossesslon of tho Works. Wo presume tho change ot ownership will bo made within tho next ten days. New, From Europt. From Intelligence brought by tho last Euro pean steamer U appears the weather in England has been delightful fur some Umo past. The crops are described os looking splendid beneath a brilliant sun, and through the whole agricul tural world there is a cheerful promise of an abundant harvest. People are leaving London, Liverpool and Manchester for the country. Ex cursion trains go to Ireland, Scotland, Franco, Holland and Germany, and the railways take crowds to all sorts of pleasant places. A joy. ous company recently startedforßordoaux,and there la oven talk of an excursion steamer to Canada and the United States. Tho vino and silk crops in Franco arc coming out strong and healthy, having almost entirely recovered from (bo diseases which have sorely afflicted (hem for (ho post two years. The elections are creating excitement and liveliness in tho French empire. That the government is somewhat troubled at the activity of tho Republicans is generally be- l|ovcd— tholr ideas of tho elective franchise nro notdccracd by Louis Napoleon as suitable for Franco, however practicable they may bo for Belgium I TJio pope Plo Notions entry Into Bologna is tho last incident of his present (our through his dominions. Ills holiness was re ceived (a a most becoming manner by the au thorities amidst grand demonstrations of rejoic ing. Tufi New TAiurr.—The revised tariff, as al-1 tcred by Congress at its last session, wont into 1 operation on the 8d Inst. It rcdaccs tbo duties 1 on nearly all articles which enter Into the gene* | ral consumption of tho country, and places many | articles on tho free list which are considered raw J materials la tho composition of our turcs. Iron, cotton, woollen fabrics, hemp and 1 sugar have a reduction of ono sixth on tho prc. sent duties- Distilled spirits and liquors aro reduced from 100 to 7B per coni., with a gene ra) reduction of 20 per cent, on all articles not carried to the free list or reduced either to I or 8 percent. Wool costing less than 20 cents per pound nlll henceforth bo (roe. In anticipa tion of Clio reduction, a largo amount of goods ■imported recently has been left in public Tho withdrawal of sugar, il is said, will bo largo for ro-oxporlalion this week and nest, but very light for consumption. Tho withdrawals of r>t\v wool will bo considerable. The great event of the English racing season, the Epsom Derby, occurred May 271 h. Derby-day in England is almost a national hol iday. Parliament adjourns, the courts arc not in session, and churchman and inyma'n, peer and plowman, flock to Epsom Downs to see ten or twelve horses run two or three minutes.— The winning nog this year was a small marc called Blink Bonny. The Derby slakes were instituted in 1780, and have been run every year since, and it is n somewhat remarkable fact that mares arc seldom winners, Blink Bon ny being only the second more that has won since 1801. Blink Bony was not the favorite with the betting ring, and consequently they were heavy losers. Sir Robert Peel, it is sta ted, lost £70,000 by backing his horse Anton for the same race. Blink Bony is now as fa mous as Childers or Eclipse, and will bo back ed heavily for other great slakes. Mr. Ten Brocck has entered Prior and Prior ess for two handicaps at the York Augusl mee ting. “ Handicapping" is a modern invention, ond consists in piling weight upon lira backs of tho stoutest and fastest horses, until'they arc supposed to bo on a level with tho poorer hor ses. Thus, a slim '‘weedy" three years old, carrying but 70 pounds, stands, according o this logic, tho samo chanco that a splendid four milcr docs, carrying 130 pounds. Tho object of handicapping is to givo (ho poorer horses something of a chanco, and tho odds arc gener ally In favor of the “weedy" three years old carrying feather weights. Prior ond Prioress will have to carry weight, and will probably be beaten. If they win, it will boon astonishing victory. The LinaEST Man in tub WoatDi— ThoWest Tennessee Whig announces tho death of Mr. Mites Pardon, near Lexington, in that State, and says t Tho deceased was, beyond all question, (ho largest man in tho world. His height was seven foot six inches—two inches higher than Porter, tho celebrated Kcnluckoy giant. Ills weight was a fraction over a thousand pounds. It re quired seventeen men to put him in ids collln, and It took over one hundred feet of plank to make his coffin. Ho moajfljyod around (ho waist six foot and four iuebps. * men MICES JNO labor. TVo are at a loss to account fo%|bc fact, says the Baltimore .Dfspnfcji.that while every arti cle, whether of uso or luxury, whether of the most absolute household necessity, or such as may be dispensed wit 4 without inconvenience,' but especially everything in the shapo of food, has risen enormouslyf-in fact fully, if not more than doubled—'wogef .have not advanced.— Why should they havta remained stationary ? With the present extravagant prices for all which a family conguincs, wo do not see how many men of large ibraUics and small salaries or low rales of' wagtaj cbnlinuc to keep sou! and body together. i U is evident that the dis proportion now existing in this respect cannot long continue. The cost of the necessaries of life must cither come down, or the wages of la bor and rates of salaries must go up. The in equality is too glaring and too onerous. It would really seem as if combination and specu lation had achieved a.complcte victory over the people, and that, as things now ore, the last cent must bo wrung from the tradesman, arti san, and laborer to swell the pockets of (hose whoso operations in real .estate arc to form their road to fortune. The extravagant speculations in western lands, and the inflated prices thus put upon real estate, have the eficct of raising the prices of the products of the soil ; and in this Way the poor man in every situation-of life, and more than all the dwellers in cities, aro found to contribute to build up the fortunes of the speculator, of the men who add nothing 1 whatever to tho wealth or products of the coun try. Tho capital thus backed up in these Western land speculations forms another source of embarassment, as it checks tho current of trade, stagnates business, and consequently in terferes with tho demand for labor; and pre cludes tho possibility of obtaining tho advance which would equalize labor with tho cost of living. But the reaction must come ; the pro monitory are already felt, and many who in their hasto to get rich have rushed into reckless investments and purchases of land at rales 50 and 75 per cent, beyond tbeir present value, or even tbeir possible actual value for many years, will find themselves engulfed in tho ruin. When this reaction shall have arriv ed, and not before, We may look for the inequal ity between wages of labor and the cost of liv ing to bo remedied. The Uses op WiTßn.— The Syracuse Jour, nal, in an excellent article on tho use of water for tlio purpose of bathing and personal cleanli ness, says: “ Bathing is a high moral duty. Let a man who is about to commit some disgrace upon himself, or some injustice upon his fellow, re sort to the free use of cold water, followed up by towels, brushes, and clean linen, and after this is accomplished, wo arc willing to wager that ho will hesitate to engage in what ho had before determined upon. If water will not save a man, salt will not.” No, (answers tbc funny man of tho Boston Posty nor saltpeter either. The Journal talks well and wisely. Much may be said in favor of water for many purposes. As the toper pb served, “ it has done a great deal for naviga lion;” it has extinguished a vast .Humber ol fires; it makes a beautiful jet when squirted perpendicularly thro’ a fountain ; it looks well tumbling down a hill-side, or meandering through a meadow : it is sublime line in the form of.ft catcracj, and Is capital for sprinkling linen in a laundry. It is useful in working slcam*cngines;/l Is good to throw (cold} on foolish projects, or to pour (hot) into whiskey punches. It nmkfls a pfeasont drink with an infusion of tea or coffee, and mixes‘naturally with brandy and——but there’s no end to its uses, or abuses either, especially in Water-Cure establishments, where It should be avoided as much* as may be, or taken only in the form of a sbowerbath, with the protection ot n;‘grcat coat or an impervious umbrella. • Killed dt Liqiitnino.—Mis. Ellen liar*' risen, a resident of McConncllsviUc, Ohio, was killed by lightning in Perry county, whither she was on a visit, on Saturday, the 20lh iust. She-was silling near the middle of the room, engaged in reading the Bible. The shoo upon her right foot was tom, and near the centre of her foot was a small round bole through the foot and the upper /nd solo of her shoe. Her clothes were set on fire, but she was not moved a particle from the position in which she was silling. Awotuer Rail-Road Accident.—A des patch from Cincinnati, bearing dale July 2. says—A train on the Marietta and Cincinnati Railroad; while crossing tho dangerous trestle work, twelve miles west of Marietta, yasterdhy morning, met wilH'a'n accident that might have been foreseen by apy person acquainted with the roath A car ran of! tho track, and fell & distance of fifty-three feet, dashing it to pieces. The car contained thirty passengers, tour of whom were thirty wounded.— Among the dead is Wm. Q. Richardson, of Boston. The Crops in Pennsylvania.—Tho editor of tho Germanlvien Telegraph has been on a lour through tie IMeriOr of the Stale, and In his paper of yesterday, ho gives tho result of his observations regarding tho crops, lie says • " We never saw the, land more affluent in c foliage, or more promising in God's abun- l dance. It is literally a wide-spread canopy o( grain, grass, corn and potatoes, ond with tho i exception of tho corn, these crops have never r perhaps been excelled in luxuriance at this 1 stage of the season. Corn was very short, be- i iug fully two weeks behind ordinary seasons; i but what is satisfactory in respect to this crop is that, in every .Instance noticed, the plants I were all there, very few hills falling short of i their complement. This fact particularly, at- . traded our attention, as tho weather has been unusually cold and moist. Wo do not think the wheat looked so well in Chester and a por tion of Lancaster counties as it did farther West; and even in Perry county, one of the most sicrilo in the Slate, where it adjoins the railroad, the crop tfos excellent. In Blair county, near Tipton, in tho cleared field, sur rounded by forests, wo saw beautiful wheat.— It Is true some fields jvero much fallen, but' a bright sun would probably raise moat of it again. Uyo was nowhere so good beyond Lan caster as in this neighborhood. Bat tho oats everywhere, was a marvel of promise. In tho tens of thousands of acres observed, wo did not find a single indifferent field; all was indicative of tho greatest yield over experienced in this Stale. The breadth of ground* occupied with this crop is also larger than we ever remember ed. As to the potato crop, wo have the same remark to make—it looks excellently well.— Grass, likewise, is unusually heavy, and was everywhere alluded to as unsurpassed. .Alto gether, tho crops indicate a great harvest; and the farmer, with present prices staring him in tho face, has just cause to nyoico, and to be thankful to the Power which has gives tho in crease." LETTER FROM "KANSAS, Leavenworth, City, I Kansas T., Juno 10, 1857. J John B, Brallon, E&. Leau Sir—Tho election passed off quietly hero yesterday, only a few of tho Frco State men voting, and of course tho Fro-slavcry men carried tiro day. wliteh could not liarc boon done bad 'mb FretStalo men of this place done ns they did ifSpfil last at the election for Mayor, Jim Lane and nliOsl of other asfilring politicians have been bore, exhorting tho Free State men not to vote, but lot tho election go by default, and they have succeeded. Jim says “ stick to the Topeka constitution—Robinson la our Gov ernor, and tlio Legislature is now in session, and above all donl pay tho taxua.” This is bls # counsel. By tho way, this so called Legislature of (ho State ot Kansas met a few days ago, and no quorum answering to their names, they sent down to Lawrence, posted a handbill at 10 o’- clock, calling upon tho voters to assemble at i same day, to elect a Senator and Representa tive, which they did ns per direction of tho lea ders of thoir party. Slxty-ono votes were poll ed In a county where 800 are entitled to vote, and next morning away wen* tho now ropresen tatives to Topeka to fulfil their mission. Gov. Robinson sent In his message, and then the farce commenced. Judge Conway made an Inflama tory speech, calling upon the Free State men to set tho whe.els of Government in motion without any more delay. Now, sir, thesd men do not wish to acknowledge tho laws of the Territorial Legislature, and our eastern friends back them up, calling every tiling “ Bogus” that is done at* Lecompton, and yet notwithstanding you see (hem riding about hero daily asking subscrip tion to lift railroad charters and town charters passed by what (hey call tho “ Bogus Legisla ture.” This is consistency with a vengeance. Who are the Bogus legislators of this Territory 7 There is now a party which is gaining strength daily, headed by’ Judge Johnson of Ohio, a good and sound Democrat, and they say wo will nom inate our own members this fall and elect them, with tho understanding that Kansas Is yet too young to come into tho Union. Wo want rail way grants, public buildings, and numerous other improvements, such ns Congress has been bestowing upon tho other Territories, and when we have all those things matured, then make a constitution and submit St to tho people for rati fication. Johnson is tho same man who stump ed Ohio for Buchanan last year, and done him , good service. Tho conservative men of both parties say ho is right. There are two of tho i most rabid parties hero {bat over existed, and when they are sumed up they dont constitute more than one third of tho population of (ho Territory. Tho Free State papers are getting ashamed of sorao of tho actions of their own party. I will send you a copy ol (ho Times this week, and you can see tho editor Is disgust cd with tho Bogus Topeka Legislature. Avery prominent man hero is nn old abscond from Pennsylvania, formerly a Postmaster from Le banon or Berks, I don’t recollect which. lie is a signor to tbo address issued by tho Topeka Convention to the people o( tbo United Stales. I think Graham sent one to you. However, I will'get bis name some of those days and send It to you.

Don’t you see bis pur pose is to extort a letter of this kind and then bo con got a divorce, probably from the Topeka Legislature as they call it. Tills man is one of the loudest shrickers for ‘‘BleedingKansas”ln this Territory; but ho don’t know that as soon as certain speculations which lie is maturing and , which promise-to make money, are fully con-j sumraatod, that soraofilcndsof that poor woman and children are keeping a sharp look out, and I i before bo knows what ho is about bis Injured 1 family will he brought in on him.

The Celebration at New Tork, Itiot among the Rowdies—-Ten Persons Killed —Rtview of fkt Military I -New ToRK t jFu]y s.—Severn! riots occurred | in this city during yesterday, the most serious of which originaicd in the IJoivcry. The fight continued with great ferocity for an hour,clubs, stones, bottles and (Ire arms being freely used. The “Five Pointers” were gradually driven back. Eight persons were killed in this riot, and about 30, including several policemen, wound* cd. At one peftod the rioters had the s reels 1 barricaded, defying the policemen, of whom I there were upwards of a hundred present.— Three regiments of fetnto troops were ordered out and kept in reserve, but their services were not required, as the riot was llnally suppressed by. the exertions of the police. In the minor riots which occurred during the day,two persons were killed and 20 or 30 badly wounded. In nearly all (ho disturbances ex policcman were conspicuous as actors. With the exception of these riots among the rowdies, the day passed off (Incly. The wcath cr was propitious, the military and civic dig. plays brilliant and imposing, and the fireworks at Brooklyn, Williamsburg and other suburbs, of the most gorgeous description. The pyro technic display of the city proper was post* poned on account of a partial damage to the pieces, caused by the damp weather of the week. After the close of the military review, Qcn. Sanford gave n grand collation at his house, at which Gov. King and Mayor Wood were pres ent,and both of them made speeches in response to complimentary (oasts. Another account says : This morning a ve ry serious riot occurred at a drinking saloon.at No. 40 Bowery. Tlio disturbance first took place at 2 o’clock. It commenced between a gang of low ruffians from the Five Points,called the 11 Dead Rabbit Club,” ond a party of the " Bowery Boys.” The riot was of Inc most terrible character, all sorts of weapons and mis siles being used, ond many persona were injur ed seriously. Tho police finally succeeded in quelling the riot, and in driving the rioters away. At 7 o’clopU 4hia evening, tho Lowery Boys who were injured in tho morning by the ‘Dead Rabbits,’ rallied in great strength, for the pur*, pose of revenging the injuries they had received, and another and a far more terrible riot was the result.

Terrible and Extraordinary Phcnomenon--- Myslcrlous iovcracnts of an Atmospheric Body-loss of. Life and Property. - On Saturday afternoon very many of our cit izens noted the appearance of a very remarka ble formation of nebulous or cloudy substance extending from the heavens nearly to tbe cartn, where it seemed to diminish almost to a point, but, expanding gradually as it ascended, until the peculiar form was lost in the cloudest sky. -This remarkable and funricl like column of cloudy miat passed over the city at about four o’clock, and was remarked riot only by its pe culiar appearance, but by a rushing, buzzing noise, as it swept off in the direction of Deer field. It was watched for some moments, ana peo ple generally believed it to bo a water-spout, as its conical form corresponded with all ideas of such natural phenomenon. It soon passed from sight, and was made the subject of sportive con versation for tho hour, without tbe least just conception of what tho body consisted, or its distructive power. Its effects, however, have been most wonderful, and may justly attract the attention and scruiiny of tho scientific world. , . , Tho conical mass first settled to the earth a few minutes past four in Deerfield, and in an instant scattered a barn to pieces, and loro'up several trees on the opposite side of the road, <fec. Mr. John Warren Informs us that ho was en gaged in his garden at 4 o'clock and saw the approach of the cloudy object, ns it threw up Ihe trees. As its course pointed in the direc tion of his own house, ho ran to tho dwelling, caught two of his oldest children and called to hia wife to save the other three and herself by following him to the cellar. The husband had descended two or three steps with his charge, and his wife, with an infant and vhe two older children had reached tho cellar door when Iho house was struck. The whole frame work was lifted from the stone foundation; tho entire w6od work above the first floor was carried some 20 feet and then dropped in grand per fection of ruin, while the first floor with the sleepers attached which caught in the founda tion, was finally turned root like over the entire mass. Mr. Warren, with two of Iho children, re mained in the cellar enclosure, without injury ; Mrs. .Warren was found on the ground about len feet from the cellar door, ahbost entirely stripped of her clothing nnd so severely injured about her neck and body that she died within an hour after the calamity, although entirely conscious; her infant was found near by nnd almost entirely free from injury, yet utterly destitute of clothing : a little boy who was fol- lowing his mother to the cellar is now Ivingun conscious from wounds he received In the com- mon \vreck. His recovery is very doubtful; an older girl escaped without an injury. The dwelling was two stories and substantially built. Tn the rear of it was a bam, distant about five rods, which was literally shivered in to splinters. Next in the duo southeasterly line of its course it uprooted several large trees, scattered the fences, crossed the road and demolished a large barn belonging to Mr. John M. Budlong. This building was of recent and very substan tial build, and 35 by 50 feet upon its base, yet the destructive clement lore it to pieces, scat tering largo timbers about the fields at a dis- tance of from 5 to 15 rods, distributing portions of the roof in various directions, and actually , taking up an iron cylinder threshing machine, weighing perhaps 400 pounds, and deposited it at least 80 feel from the barn. A cow belong ing to Mr. B , standing near the barn, was killed without any apparent outward wound. Beyond the premises of Mr. 8., for about a mile prostrate trees and fences evidence the track of this destructive messenger. Tt, how ever, seemed to have released its hold upoif the earth soon after leaving the farm of Mr. 8., for it was distinctly seen to rise from the surface nnd dissolve its conical shape into a general cloudy form. The phenomenon, was followed by violent ram and wind. Two men at wotV in a field saw the strange apparition approach, and took to their heels, bar)}' escaping its track. (as it passed on. It seemed to raise from the earth in four or five minutes from (ho time it was first seen, and the evidences before ns of 1 destruction lie in a district not over 4 or 5 miles in extent, in a duo southeasterly direction from where its first touch was first felt, and in o track about 15 rods in width. Whatever of material substance presented itself in this track -was swept away, and ific ruin presented is ccr-* l&lnlv fearful to behold. Of what the destructive power was composed we arc not prepared to affirm, but of its force wo con truthfully attest. Hugo trees were los sed from their deep rooted resting places a? readily as a gordner would pull a roddish from the sandy earth: fences ond even fence posts were scattered in oil directions, as if they were chips, and buildings offered no more resistance . a clapboard to a forty horse power engine. The moving mass of ruin is represented by oil who saw it to hove been a vapory substance : it was not nocompanud by ony wind or storm, but seemed an independent agency, travelling on its tynrn account, at a speed of perhaps a milo a mlnu*o. In its motion there was o con stant revolution and when it was rising this whirling peculiarity become more terrific and violent. The peculiar buzzing sound which wos noticed in its passage by our citizens was also remarked tiy tlifc pcopld along Us course in Deerfield and Schuyler^ From Kansas.
