the eight or ten years prior to 1854, he conducted the Mohawk Courier.
--During the eight days following the Fourth, no less than 200 patients were
admitted to Bellevue Hospital, New York, to be treated for cuts, bruises,
etc., received in fights or by accident.

one thousand dollars against William J. VAN CAMPEN for breach of promise.

--Accounts from Scotland state that the drouth during May and part of
June was more severe than during any past year since 1826. The rivers Earn
and Tay were nearly dry -- the famous Doon, immortalized by Burns, would
slide through a gallon measure, and other well known streams and rivers
were thoroughly dried up. In some places water was so scarce that in
villages it was sold at five shillings per barrel ! and many had to go miles
for water for their cattle. The crops, notwithstanding, are reported as
looking excellent; and recent rains will no doubt advance them considerably.
--Among the passengers by the Arago, which arrived at New York Monday
evening, are Governor Hamilton FISH and family.
--The President is about to leave for Bedford Springs, and the Secretary of
the Navy has already gone north.
--The N. Y. Evening Post has the hardihood to tell the following story on
its own responsibility:
At Markheidenfelt, a village situated on the river Main,
in Bavaria, there lives a man sixty-eight years of age, named Johannes
SCHLOTTENBECK. He is a master chimney-sweep, a vocation more honorable in
Germany than in this country, and for half a century has given personal
attention to his business. He is now living with his third wife; and on the
sixteenth of June last his thirty-sixth child was christened at the
parish church. By his consort he had seven; by his second, eleven; and
by his third, eighteen children -- of whom one half are girls and one half
boys.
--The Batavia Herald announces the death in New York of Robert REDFIELD, son
of Hon. H. J. REDFIELD. His remains will be conveyed to Batavia for burial.
Deceased was apprenticed to the printing business in this city by his father
some ten years ago, and resided here a couple of years. When Mr. REDFIELD
was appointed collector of the port of New York, he filled a place in the
Custom House there, and has since resided in that city.
--The Arago, just arrived at New York, saw a great number of icebergs, and
was for some time enveloped in fog among them -- the most dangerous position
for a steamship to be in, and much more alarming than heavy gales of wind.
--Travelers through Pennsylvania report the wheat crop as very heavy, and
that the most of it is harvested. Reports from all parts are favorable. This
is to be a year of plenty.
--Michael CRABB, a lad of fifteen years old, was at work Monday morning at
the rope factory of Lawrence & Company, Bushwick avenue, Williamsburg,
when the picking machine caught him by the clothes, drew him in, and
literally tore him in pieces. His breast was torn open, several ribs
broken, and one arm and leg torn into shreds. He died at night.
--Polly FRISCH, convicted at Batavia of the murder of her child on a fourth
trial for the same crime alleged to have been committed against various
deceased members of her family, has been granted a new trial.
--The Governor has commuted to imprisonment for life the sentence of death
against David CURRY, convicted at Batavia of murder. The facts are familiar
to our readers. A commission of Doctors from the Asylums pronounced him
insane.
--The editor of the Toledo Blade having spoken somewhat plainly of the short
comings of Paul EDWARDS, Canal Collector at that port, the latter waylaid
him on the street, and dealt him a blow from behind which knocked him
insensible, and another man, who came to the rescue of the editor, was badly
beaten.
--The papers along the Ohio and Mississippi are publishing recipes for the
cure of cholera.
--The Milwaukee (Wisconsin) Sentinel says that some idea may be formed of
the extent to which wheat-gambling is carried on when it is known
that for some weeks past the reported sales have generally ranged from
40,000 to 80,000 bushels each day. Some of the largest operators never in
reality own a bushel of wheat.
--The editor of the St. Thomas (C. W.) Dispatch has been shown an apple tree
in St. Thomas, the fruit of which has been totally destroyed by the frost,
literally covered with a second growth of healthy blossoms, promising a fair
yield of fruit. Several grapevines in that town have also developed similar
signs of reproduction.
--The citizens of Mendota, in this State, are greatly excited at this time,
about a murder that is supposed to have been committed there about two years
ago by George H. LAMB, who was hanged at St. Louis, recently, for the murder
of his wife. A traveler, from Ohio, stopped at LAMB'S Hotel to stay
overnight, and he has never been heard of since. LAMB said that the man left
in the night, but that is not now believed. Diligent search is now
being made about the premises -- [Springfield (Ill.) Register, July 2.
