4 flloomfttltr imt$. NEW IJLOOMFIELD, PENN'A. Tuenday, July 9, 1872. Hotf. 8 amcel J. Randall, has been ap pointed Chairman of the Democratic Stato Committee. Hokack Gkkkxky, was present at the Jubilee in Boston on last Wednesday and by request made a short address. He was called upon by a largo numbor of citizens. For a live Campaign paper you should scud for "The Greeley Banner," publish ed at Lancaster Pa., by the former Editor of " Father Abraham." The heat of last Wednesday, all over the Country seems to have been almost unprecedented. In N. York over two hun dred cases of Sun Stroke occurred, forty of which proved fatal. TnE official correspondence which passed between the British government and Lord Tenterden, its agent, before the Geneva Tribunal of Arbitration, is published. It comprises twelve dispatches, besides the protocols of proceedings before tho Board which are known to the public. In Illinois, seventeen Republican papers have como out squarely for Greolcy and Brown. Six German papers have declared for them ; nine others are opposed to Grant, and two are for him. House Racing wo do not consider an amusement calculated at any time to aid in the moral or religious development of man kind. But when two mile heats are run with tho themometer indicating nearly 100 degrees in the shade, it becomes an outrage on ooinmon decency, and if in the presence of the Presidont of tho United States, as was the case at Long Branch recently, it becomes a disgrace to the nation. The Cincinnati Star says : ThoBrinker holfthey call "juclgo," not he whom peo ple nickname "general," in a recent letter speaks of the " two Dromios" in this wise: "As1 between Grant and Greeley, I would not by my vote endorse either the congeni tal stupidity of tho one, or tho pretensions and muddling non-wisdom of tho other." "Congenital stupidity" is not bad ; but " non-wisdom" is good, decidedly good. The Philadelphia liquor caso came up before tho Supreme Court on Tuesday lant, and the majority of tho Judges being op posed to hearing the arguments at present, the case went over to next term. The City Solicitor gave notice that he should advise the Commissioners now to issue the Li censes. Counsel for the temperance party ask the Court of Common Pleas to issuo an injunction. In that case the liquor dealers will appeal to the Supreme Court, and a de cision will probably be given by noxt No vember. . Reduced Postage.

MARK Acting First Postmaster-Goneral Of Buenos Ayres Is stirred to a great degree of excitement by a recent attempt upon the life of a lady of high rauk. The victim was the Donna de Castellanos, and she belonged to the highest order of native nobility. She was going out of store in the company of her daughter, when she was approached by a man, who stabbed her In the bock with a stiletto. He instantly lied, and has not been taken. The blow was aimed with great accuracy at the heart, but the lady was quite fleshy, and the blade failed to reach the vital part. Crimes and Casualties. On the 4th inBt., Mr. J. H.

Tho intense heat yesterday morning prostrated many of the militiamen while parading the streets. Some sixteen left tho ranks sunstruck, many of whom will dio. Scarcely half of the number that set out returned with their commands. Twenty-four persons died form the effects of tho heat, and ninety- seven cases of sunstroke were reported, j Two fireman died yesterday from sunstroke while on duty at a fire in Canal street on Tuesday. Tho thermometer reached 98 degrees in the shade at 8 o'clock. Numer ous sunstrokes and deaths from heat are also reported in Brooklyn. It is reported that a conductor on one of the trains on the Northwestern Railroad was shot and killed between Chicago and Milwaukee on the 5th. The coroners In quest however showed that death had been caused by his falling under the wheels jt his train. Over thirty cases of sudden deaths were investigated by the Coroner of Philadel phia, on Friday last. Most of them being due to the great heat. Thirty-four cases of injury by firo-arms were taken to the hospitals on the 4th and two deaths from tho same cause were reported. On the evening of tho 4th inst., Phila delphia was visited with a terrific storm. A number of trees woro blown down and awnings and houses injured. Beveral'per sons were struck by lightning. On the evening of tho 4th inst., at Soy mour, Indiana, a man named Norris, whilo lighting a hall, preparatory to a theatrical performance, let fall a coal oil lamp in tho midst of a group of childorn. The lamp broke, spreading the burning oil in every direction, and setting tho clothing of the children on fire. The little sufferers ran wildly through the hall, and before the flames wore extinguished two girls were so badly burned they died in Beven hours. Norris was also badly, but not fatally burn ed. It is said he was drunk, and only his injuries prevents his being roughly han dled by the citizens. An Eccentric Detective. On 41ia iiiirlif if Mm Ifllli nf A m il bur. i glars entered the house of William Jordan, of Trumbull, Conn., and stole five bank books, representing $1,000, several deeds and a sum of money. Every effort was made to trace the thieves, and a search was mado in Hartford for them but nothing could be learned of their whereabouts. A day or two since a gentleman called on Mr Jordan and asked him if he had lost any money, and on being told that he bad the stranger said he was a New York dutoo- tive, ana that no noa aiscoverea me proper- ty while searching a bouso in New York for other stolen property. The detective would receive no compensation for his ser vices except his expenses. , Effect of Conscience. A curious case of restitution occurred recently at Haverhill, Mass. A man two years ago drew some money from a bank and was overpaid four hundred dollars. As banks never rectify mistakes," he kept the mouey. Recently be has become a Christian, and the four hundred dollars troubling bis conscience,' he has just paid it back, giving a mortgage on his bouse to doo. A Dreadful Incident. As already Btated among the victims of the recent railroad smash-up at Metuchen, N. J., was a Danish couple named Potass en, but two months married, Mr. Potasson being the son of a Danish nobleman. They were on thotr bridal tour, and were on the way to San Francisco, whore Potassen's brother is Danish Consul. When the torrl blo crash came all was darkness and confu sion for a few moments ; but the gentle man soon recovered consciousness, and his first thought was of his bride. An imme diate search was mado for the lady, who was at last found beneath a heap of debris, sensolcss, and covered with blood. Upon raising her up, her husband was horrified to find that one of her arms had been com pletely torn off. The unfortunate lady was removed to sholter, and tho husband begun tho sick ening task of seeking his wifo's missing arm. He proclaimed that upon ono of the fingers was a diamond wedding ring a jew el worth many hundred dollars, and in stantly a general search was begun. A mong the prowlers about tho wreck was a train hand, who was observed to secrete something under his coat and walk away. Ho was soon overhauled and on perceiving that ho had been detected he threw down his burden, which proved to bo the lost arm. It was picked up by tho nobleman, who removed the ring, and caused the arm to be taken care of. The lady was brought to St. Barnabas' Hospital in Newark, whero sho now lies in a fair way of rocovery.
