OYER AND T.ERMINE.II.Idge.4 Ludlow and Paxson.—This morning, Thomas Hill,colored,, was put on trial, charged with, causing the death of John G. Nagle, on t 9th of March Jest, on Letitia street. It • be recollected that the pilsoner was . ged, in connection with George Black, also colored, with causing the death. Black was tried at the last term, and acquitted. The circumstances were briefly these Mr. Nagle, a baker residing and doing busi ness in Letitia street, came out of his house on 'the afternoon of the day in question, and was on the- opposite side of. the street from his house when Black came down the street and ran against him. Mr. Nagle • remonstrated with Black, and, told himoto be careful where upon Black proposed to fight and did take hold of the deceased, and both went to the ground. An apprentice of Mr. Nagle now 'int6rfered, and the parties Were ''separated. About this time Hill, who was lila tavern in the neighborhood, dame out and at once assaulted Mr. Nagle, ,knocking him down, his head striking an iron gtatiiig in the fall. Mr. Nagle was picked up insensibleand died shortly afterwards, never having recovered his consciousness after- the ta. ,A jury was empannelled this :morning and 'the trial was Viogressing when our report closed. S. Davie Page and J' ~ T:Pratt appeared for the prisoner. , —The Clildago POst, in the course of a modest' article on that city, says: "Ey no possibility can New York esterd,,beyond Two •Hundred and Twenty-fifth' street.

Possibly we might not have. been able to subscribe to the same creed in rela; thin to Ged; but I think we should have subscribed to 'the same creed' in relation to man. He whir has taught us our duty to our fellow-men -- better than we knew -it laefore; who knew 'sso well to weep, with them that wept, and to rejoice with' them that' rejoiced; who has shown forth, all his knowledge of:the dark corners of the earth, how much sunshine' may rest, upon the lowliest lot, who had such evident sympathy with suffering, such natural instinct of purity, that there is scarcely a page of the thousands he has written which might not be put into the bands of a little child, must be regarded by those who recognize the diversity of the gifts of the spint as a teacher sent from God. He would have been welcomed as a fellow-laborer in the common interest of humanity . by; Him who asked the question.:" If a man loye not his brother whom he hath'seen, how can he love God whom he bath not seen ?' " The Rev. Mr. Vl~ite,_( plainto_the_llonSe_of_Commons,- in his sermon at the, Savoy Chapel; spoke of the death of C'harles Dickens, and said that, strange as it might, sound, Mr; Dickens had by his writings, thine essential service' to the ChristiawChurch. There was a purity and a healthfttlnesiin his - writings which were a, natural consequence_of his character, and this might be understood by the fact that oneof, the last, letters he wrote,if indeed not the very' last, was written with a view to'remove a cal umny that lie had been unfaithful to Christian truth. Mr. Dickens, the Reverend Chaplain said; had taught. ' Christianity with much greate.r effect than many priests; had done. CAIVADIAN ".TUSTICE. The 'Rebel Raid at Sti Albans. Since the_ late Fetdan attempt to Invade Canada - florae of the Canadian journals have labored to show that our Government ought to reimburse the Canadians fiir the expenses made necessary in their defence, asserting that the Canadian government, in the case of the _St.. Albans raiders d uri tigthe,_late war -in-the ;South, "admitted their responsibility for their depredations. and appropriated a SUM of money to cover the losses of the batiks at St. Albans which they bad robbed." The St. Al- - bans Messenger says in reply to this: - - - " The facts are these : There were three banks robbed at this place. The First National Bank lost $60,000, the Franklin County. Bank lost $72,000, and the St. Albans Bank lost $75,- 000; amounting in all to the sum .of $207,000. Our own citizens pursued the raiders into Canada, and succeeded in capturing fourteen of them, with about $86,000, swatch warrants having been refused'• 1113 in many 'instances. This 586,000 was held by the Canadian Govern ment against, our wishes, as evidence, ..1.13 they claimed, against the raiders, in the application of our Government for their extradition, and with the raiders was kept by a magistrate un til the notorious Judge Coursol assumed juris diction, claiming that the magistrate had no jurisdiction in, the matter. In less than two months this same Coursol decided that he, him self, had no jurisdiction in the case;whereupon he set the men at liberty; and the $86,000 cap turedat our expense,*by our efforts, was given up by the agent of the Canadian Government to the agent of the raiders, and not to the law ful owners. ' . This outrage was BO < flagrant that the Canadian Government appropriated.fifty thousand dollars to defray the expenses of in vestigating into the conduct of Judge Coursol, and the balance was paid to the . St. Albans banks, as follows: The First National Bank received eighteen thousand dollars in. gold the St. Albans Bank, twenty-two thousand dollars, and , the • Franklin County Bank re ceived thirty-four, thousand dollars in their own bills,purchased of the raiders,we are informed. at fifteen cents on the dollar, by au aggjQf the Canadian Government. "The result is, the Canadian Governmen paid.about forty-live thousand dollars in-gold towards the eighty-six thousand dollars cap tured by our citizens, and that is all that has ever been paid towards the two hundred and seven thousand dollars that our banks lost,and Judge Coursol is fully restored to his position on the bench.' WARR WEATHER IN THE PAST. A Beeortt of Hot SOO U . . _ . . . . The records kept at Nuremberg, in Ba,variti, supply the following Interesting facts : In 1132 the earth cracked by reason of the ;Ilieat r the wells and streams in Alsace all dried and the bed of the Itiver Rhine was dry. In 1152 the beat was so great that sand ex posed to the sun's rays was hot enough to cook eggs. In 1160 great number of soldiers in the campaign against Bela died from the heat. In 1276 and 1277 crops of hay and oats' ,failed completely. In 1303 and 1304 a man could have crossed, dry shod, over the rivers Seine, Loir, Rhine and Danube. In 1393 and '94 a multitude of animals perished by the heat, which was so great that the harvests dried up. In 1440 the heat was extraordinary. In 1538, 1539, 1540 and 1541 all the rivers were nearly dried up. In 1556 there was agreat drought, which extended over nearly the whole of Europe.- In 1615 and 1616 there was, in Italy, France and the Netherlands, an overpowering heat. In 1648 there were fifty-eight con 'secutive ' days of extreme heat. 1678 was very hot, and as were the first three years. of the eighteenth century. In 1718 it did not rain a single time from April until October I The growing grain was burned, the rivers dried up, the theatres (but wherefore is -not --stated) were --closed by command of the , police.. The thermometer showed thirty-six degrees Reaumer; equivalent to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. In irrigated gardens the '.fruit trees bloomed twice. In. 1723 and 1724 there was great heat. The summer of 1746 was,hot and dry, the growing grain being cal cined. It did not rain for months. - .1748; 1754, 1700,1707, 1778 and 1788 were years in which the summers were extremely hot. In the famous comet year-1811—the suirimer was warm, and the wine produced that season was very precious. In 1818, the theatres had to be closed on account of the heat, the highest -temperature being 35 Reaumer, or 112 Fahren heit. During the three days of the revolution. of_July, in 1830, the thermometer stood-at 36 degrees Centigrade, abbut 97 Fahrenheit. In 1832, during the uprising of the sth and 6th of July, the temperature was about the Same. MONDAY JUNE 27 1870. General Prospect- in the Northwest. (From the 31111orankeo Wisconsin, Altura] From all we can learn concerning the crops in, the Northwest, the favorable weather of the last fortnight has improved them wonder fully, and though there may not be a heavy growth, the filling will undoubtedly be good if favorable weather continues. There are some localitlei, where - the, soil is light, where the crops are injured beyond recovery by the long drouth, but these,• we think, will prove the ex ception and not the rule. The Dronth In the Northwest. U/roin the Chicago Republican, Jane 22.1 The dronth in the Northwestern States is confinedto very .. moderate limits. If a .line _ ._ were drawn through Wisconsin, running north'from near Monroe to' the Muer Mounds, . and thence nearly east to about the vicinity of . Sheboygan, it would enclose the district in that State that is particularly. suffering. The south and - . northwest parts of the State, and almost the entire interior, have enjoyed plentiful rains, and will have good crops- The States of-Minnesota, lowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, as well as the Territories West and North, have all received their usual aihount of - moisture, and the Press have made no complaint in any section of a failure in the supply. The rainless belt, this season, seems to have a direction nearly north east by south West, and includes wportion of this State, Indiana andOhlo, - and — perhaps a small portion of Michigan : and, doubtless, if the subject.were investigated, would be found to cover a part' of Kentucky; Arkansas and Eastern Texas. . The Coming Harvest, in IPennsylvania. [From the. Pittsburgh rdepetch, Juno 234 -- , Any one desirous of obtainiug an idea Of the near approach of the haying season., should. take a trip out- about twenty or thirty. miles on. one of .our railroa.ds. The_ hay - crop will ,be unusually heavy, but, experi enced agriculturists tell us, of not quite so good a quality as last season. Wheat has been, in a . great many places, materially injured by the very heavy and con stant rains of the season, consequently less than an average yield is anticipated in some wheat-growing sections. Corn looks flourish ing, and gives promise of an abundant crop. The yield of fruit will , be below the average. If men who loiter on street corners grumbling , because they have no work, will but betake , themselves to the country, our rural friends will give them a hearty welcome, and work in-abundance-at-fair-wages. The Wheat Crop in Virginia. [From the Peten3buro indezJune e.. 1 From all the information we ' have been able to gather, the crop_ of wheat _which, in -some localities hereabouts has been harvested, is ex cellent, both as'to yield and to quality.. Some of om-farmers say that there has riot been such a' wheat crop for many years. Great fears were entertained that the bloom had been washed off -by the. heavy rains that fell Just at the time When injury. was .most likely to result from such a cause. It was appre -herided aLs45 - , - that the all tort - "continuo - Us rain, even . with the - little alternate warm sunshine, would produce_ rust in the wheat- and greatly lessem the crop. •-Buttill -these-fears; it would - noWnii.;" pear, have provento be - groundless, and,. with ;this exception, that the-wheat was thrown down in some - localities„„ and • partially. sub merged in. certain lowlands, the yield and quahty will turn out tO be much better than the average. ' ~ ' - The corn crop;ocie fear,will he_ damaged,_ - miless --- the - Miffen; can have more favorable weather for plowing. In many portions of our. State the weeds have almost taken pos session of the lauds, and are likely to* " choke the good seed," uuless they can be extirpated by the plow very soon. But, having been most agreeably disappointed in the wheat crop, we will not despair of the corn and to bacco. Our advices, with few exceptions, report the wheat and oat crop as unusually fine in all parts" of the State. The apprehensions of damage from excessive, rains Would seem in the main unfounded, and the line weather of thepresent week has been all that could be desired for the completion of the harvest. The threshing, however, can alone determine the yield. ,The wet weather has, delayed the corn crop, and made it more backward than usual, but, we trust, there is plenty of time yet for-it and tobacco. "(From the . N. Y. Standard.) DURDER OF OEN. GRANT'S. O.IPDSCOIFF AND SPY. It will be remembered by many of the Stan dard readers that Bonner, in his New York Ledger abouta year ago, published for several months the personal history and. deeds of Capt. C. S. Bell, a scout, detective and spy for Gene. Grant, Sherman,Thomas - , Sheridan and others of our army. After the conclusion of the war,. Grant retained him in service, and wiihin a year he was sent to Texas, where 'he has been under the command of en. Rey nolds of the Fifth Military Distriet.l The following letter was received from Clin ton, Dewitt county, Texas, 'yesterday : CLINTON, Dewitt' co., June 7, 1870.—Dcar . • • An occurrence of the most mysterious character has plunged our usually quiet vil lage into the greatest excitement. Capt. C. S. Bell, the renowned " Union scout and spy," whose war history has been given in the New York Ledger, was attacked by five men in the Guadaloupe bottom, about two miles below this place, at a late hour yesterday, and is sup posed to have been brutally murdered by them. A negro living on White's plantation first brought the news, and a party, headed by. Jack Haien, our Sheriff, at once proceeded to the spot, guided by the negro witness of the 'deed. , A bloody trail, where a heavy body had been - dragged, was found, and upon tracing it up the party reached the banks of the Ganda loupe river, overwhich the body had evidently been thrown. Returning to the spot where the trail was first started, three other.trails were found and traced by horse tracks and blood drops for some distance and lost. A very fine silver handled navy revolver was found near the • scene of the murder,.with S. Bell, Scout," engraved on its handle. Five barrels of the pistol had been freshly discharged. . The negro said he saw the firing from a dis tance, that one man was shot off his horse and .then tire men rode off; leading the fallen man's horse; they passed near him, and he saw that three of. their party were wounded and bleeding. He then went to the wounded Man, Who was dying, but happening to loek up saw two men coming, when 'he ran into the bottom, and then came into town' and gave the alarm. It is generally belieVed that Captain Bell . was the Man that was 'killed, and - Sheri Holm and a largeposse have gone in,pursuit of the murderers. lours, „ CLINTON. , THE ENCILLSU' MARRIAGE SERVICE A Queer Alteratteit.' A story has been told of a graceless scamp who gained access to the Clarendon printing office, , in. Oxford, when the forms of a new edition of the Episcopal Prayer Book had just been made up and .were ready for the press. In that part of; the ," form" contataing the marriage service he substituted the letter lo for the letter y in the word live; and thus the vow & "to love, honor, comfort, a, so long as ye both shall live," was made to read " so king as ye both shall like!" The change was not disco _vered' until 'Abe whole of the -edition was' printed off. -If the sheets thus rendered useless in England be still preserved, it would be a good speculation to have them ndatlybonnd and forwarded to Indiana and Connecticut. THE CROPS. [From the Richmond Whig, Juno 25.1 C. S. Bell Killed in Texas. SWIRMAX ON LEATMESIL Gen. Sherman Amour the Bostonlffen of Leather. (From the Boston Transcript, J une.25.1 Efen. W. T. Sherman visited the Shoe and Leather Exchange this afternoon. A large number of the trade tilled the spacious room of the Exchange, and gave the hero of the "march to the pea"_ .a. warm .reception, the thermometer standing about 120 diig in the ball. The Stars and Stripes, were tastefully displayed in the ball, and the motto " Welcome to the General" had been placed in a promi nent position over the platform. The Presi dent of the Association, lion. W. B. Spooner, flanked by Goys. Claflin and Jewell, of Con necticut, introduced General Sherman' to the assembly. Mr. Spooner referred to the extent of the trade represented by the Association; and said many members of it bad served under Geris. Sherman, Grant and Thomas. He could not find appropriate words to express. the gratitude of the members of the .Association toward General Sherman and his compatriots. He concluded by presenting the General to, the Assembly, who 'was received with three hearty cheers. i,. General Sherman replied that on .moving through the building he had not expected to be called upon to address so line a, body of men as this association, representing one of the largest manufacturing interests hi .the country. He was a friend of .the_ ;trade, and had given it a good deal of patronage in 'his day.. His marching army had worn out a large.amount of leather, and an immense number of shoes, some of them bad,_ which' he 'did! not believe ever came from Boston. No manufacturing interest- , does' more for comfort than the one whioh fur r Dishes the community with good ; shoes..:_ Hi llis marches, when making a post,Plthe first thing was to purchase good shoes for the bare footed. The General said he preferred sewed shoes to pegged shoes. He should remain a friend of the trade if the members furnished the army with a,serviceable article, until the time when, so far as he'was individually con cerned, shoes would be no longer needed. Gen:Sherman then shook hands with each person of the audience who desired, and left the hall loudly cheered. LIVINGSTONE. ins 'Probable Fate. At the final' fortnightly meeting of the ses sion of 1869-70 of thelloyal Geographical So ciety-of EnglaudiTlif - rendon, Anne'l 4", - Sfrß. - Murchison referred to the present position of Dr. Livingstone and.the succor which is to be sent to him. - said: There have been great misap.pre hensions abont this affair, andl have received numerous applications from active young men anxious to: go in search of Dr. Livingstone, supposing that there' was a real expedition about to start from this country or elsewhere. There is no such expedition, even in imagina tion, and certainly pone in reality, cOntem has been more than three years and a half in the heart of Africa, without a single European attendant. - 1 am not sure that 'the ,sight of 31.:Yellitg gentleman seneontfrom-Eng land, wha Was not atelimatized, would oat . produce a very bad effect instead of a good one upon my friend the doctor, because - he would have to. take care of the newarrival, who would very soon die there, and the poor doctor would have an additional load. I have, therefore, to announce that there is no such intention-whatever: — l - havereceiVe - . a ozen letters from admiring young voltinteers, who are anxious to distinguish themselves, but who have not the least idea of what they_ are abbut. I have every reason to believe that the '..CI-,000 that the government • has given will go out by the Consul of Zanzi bar, who happens, accidentally, to be in this country and who is going out immediately. He will instruct Dr: Kirk, the Vice Consul, to refit the same expedition which was started before, but which was impeded by an attack of cholera. The cholera has passed away en tirely, the country is free from Zanzibar, and the only difficulty now is to get to trjiji, where my dear and valued friend was and still is, for he cannot move forward or backward without carriers, supplies, and so forth. It will take two months or more for those supplies to go from the seaboard to Ujiji, therefore you must put aside all anxiety for some months to come. I hope in about seven or eight months hence you will hear good news, and that very, soon after that we shall see our friend again in his. native country. CONVERTING THE HEATHEN. Church litissionary "Kidnappers" in India. [From the Punjab (Lahore) Times, May N.] The Christian missionary is at his old game again of what is known as "baby conversion." This time . , however, he succeeds in reaching his victim through one of the teachers of the Zenana. mission, who.. had been hitherto unsuspectingly • admitted into most of our native households. It seems that,- on Saturday last, a young B indoo wi dow girl, aged abOut fourteen years, who used to receive her first lessons from a Zenana teacher, by the name of Miss Martha, belong ing to the Church Missionary Society, was removed from her house by the latter without the knowledge or consent of- her widowed mother, and, under the auspices of the Bev. J. Vaughan, baptized in hot haste. She was placed by the reverendgentleinan in the house of one Hazra, a native convert, and there detained from the lhwfill custody and_ guar dianship of her mother. - The reverend gentle _Man,and his accomplices were served with an. attorney's letter calling uon them to deliver the girl into her mother's custody ; but this was refused, and we understand that im- . Mediately on receipt of the letter the girl was baptized, and the next day the mother was Informed by'Rev. J. Vaughan of her baptism. A few relatives and friends' who accompanied the mother in bringing back the 'girl were treated to a volley of abusive epithets by the Christian confraternity of Amherst street. Such are -.the facts of the conversion of the victim of the missionary body; The story will speak for itself.• • . , , ,The text will no doubt form the subject of a grandiloquent report of thep ' rogress of the mission, by the Rev. J. Vaughan and so the' supporters of the mission and the British pub- lie will be considerably hood Winked; the ques tionable means resorted to ~ f or. conversion be. ing of course carefully kept out• of view. We. are afraid that the present instance will give a death-blow to the, cause, of native feinale,edu cation,through the Zonana Missidn..
