GOURT OF GENERAL SESSIONS. Grand Larcenies. Before Recorder Hackett. The Grand Jury brought in some indictments yes- terday, upon which the prisoners were arraigned. Alfred W. Alexander, Jr., pleaded gaiity to grand larceny, the indictment charging that on the night of the 18th inst, he entered a room in the Metropoli- tan Hotel by a false key and stole ninety-five dollars’ worth of wearing apparel, the property of James D. B, Short, a guest in the house, The prisoner said he metal vs, Motions came from New Orleans and was bard up. As this. was his first offence the Recorder sent him to the State Prison for three years. John Stewart and John McCormick were tried upon acharge of stealing three trucks and horses on the Sth inst., valued at $1,300, the property of Albert Irving. As the testimony was insuiticient to sustain the indictment the jury rendered a verdict of not guilty. ALLEGED BOBBERY. ‘Theodore Manson, who was jointly indicted with Wm. Davis, was arraigned, charged with the high crime of robbery in the first degree. The com- piainant, J. F. Badenhof, a lawyer, who resides at 51 Delancey street, testifled that carly in the morn- ing of the 12th inst., while parting with a friend (Henry Gunzer) at his own door, three men suddenly appeared, one of whom was Manson, who struck him a severe biow on the left eye and took hold of his leit jeg, while Davis seized the other. They jerked bim down the stone steps, and while he was lying on the sidewalk $340 was taken from iis vest pocket. The complainant’s friend was also struck, but he was not rendered insensible. He called for tbe police, and fortunately an officer was close at hand, who pursued and arrested the prisoners. Judge Stuart, who was aanieoed by the Court to defend the prisoner, placed him on the stand. He gave his version of the occurrence to the jury, which was in substance that he arrived from Boston that evening, was @ gas fitter by trade, had hired a room in Thompson street, but having no might key, and, betug detained late at the theatre, he concluded to stay all night with a friend. While going througn the street he met with two mén, whom he asked to drink. He asked the complainant to tell him what was the number of his house, and received a@ saucy answer, Davis nit the complainant's friend, and he (Manson) caught Badenhot ny the leg and paren him off the stoop. He denied having robbed jim. The jury was evidently impressed with the statement of the prisoner, for after hours of delibera- tion they were unabie to and were discharged from the furtuer consideration of the case. John O'Neil pleaded guilty to petty layceny, the charge being that on the 10th instant he stoie be free, aoulars? worth of clothing from George H. jawkins. John Murphy was tried and convicted of stealing a hawser, valued at twenty doliars, on the 30th of May, the property of the Delaware and Lackawanna Railroad Company. He was ably defended py A. M. Soteldo, Ir. ‘These prisoners were sent to the Penitentiary for X montis. COUNT OF SPECIAL SESSIONS. Bellicose Lawyers Start on the Highway to Coffee and Pistols and are Turned Back— What it Costs to be a Brother—Knocked Out of Sight or the Next Thing to It—A Brutal Deaf and Dumb Son Seating His Aged Mother. Before Judges Dowling and Kelly, ‘There was a very long calendar yesterday, the cases numbering fliity-seven, and the session was extraordinarily long, occupying nearly four hours. ‘Thirty-four charges of assanit and battery, twenty- two of petty larceny and one of malicious mischiet made up the calendar. Such an array of battered and bandaged heads and eyes dressed in funereal habiliments are rarely to be seen at one time in the court. Numerous as the cases were, but very few, however, presented any features of striking interest, excepting, of course, the assault and battery cases, and these not of that striking character the public are likely to be very much interested in or from which it is possible to extract very much of moral or amnsement. TWO LAWYERS IN THREATENING ATTITCDE. From having so much to do with fighting people it 1s not to be wondered at that the lawyers become Diatant with bellicoseness at times, Among the first cases tried—though this spectat one happened to be upon a charge of larceny—two representatives of Blackstone and Coke upon Littleton got into quite a fuming lingual rage. A young man named Evans was accused of purioining money from another young man named McIntyre. The two occupied a room together. Mclatyre marked a fifty cent stamp and left it on the mantel piece. He missed the money, as he expected he would, and had Evans arrested, when the money Was foun “1 want the prisoner called,” said the latter's aT asa t hima called,” said the lawyer for th Ld ny calcd, ue yer for the connate = eeonwe “You shut up,” shonted out the first lawyer. “You shut up,” called out tie second lawyer. “J won't stand it,” yelled out the tirst lawyer, and he brought his fist down upon the table in front of Tim with a terrific thamp, “won't stand {t,? feilea out the second lawyer, bringing down his fist with like terrific force upon the tabi mie ir began to look interesting. The excited Spectators rose to their feet. The Judges rapped order, Policemen looked bewildered. Order was restored, and the case went on to a peaceful termina- tion, the accused being remanded. WHAT If 18 TO BE A BROTHER, Francis Pourt found tt inconventently expensive being a brother. He is @ young Frenchman, The woman to whom he is brother is Mra. August Sche!, who keeps a bakery at No. 202 Bleecker street. ir. Angust Schel accnsed Francis Pourt of assault and battery. Mr. Schel does not live with bis wife, they having agreed to disagree some time ago. He went home to see his wife, and had some words with her, and, as the latter and her brother stated, knocked her down. ‘The brother then pitched tn as the cham- pion of his sister. “What do you say to this’ the Judge asked him. “That woman is my sister, Her husband taik savage to her and knock her down, My blood 18 up, and | bit him.” “What did you hit him with" “Don't know.” “fie strack me with a stone,’? interrupted the complainant, “It might have been a loaf of bread for all | knew,” urged the acensed. “It was excited and hardly knew what I was about.” After considerable testimony the case termmated in a fine of fifteen dollars being imposed on the champion brother. KNOORPD HIS STOHT OUT. Mike Waters, quile a young man, was arraigned on acharge of heating John O'Connor. The com- Pane an who i# quite an old man, had to be led up 0 the Witness stand. His head was bandaged, and altogether he looked as though he had gone through the siege of Lucknow. “Whatis the matter—can't you see! the Jadge asked him. “Not muci, He knocked the sight clean out of me.”? The case was conclusive against Mike and he was fined twenty-five dollars, which was promptly paid. AN INCORRIGIBLR DEAF SON. ‘Thomas Sheody, about twenty and deaf and dumb, jaced at the baron a charge of beating his mother. Sho is over sixty, and the sight of her face Jacerated and eyes black and blue with the beating she bad received at his hands was fearful to wit- ness. “Has not your son been here before for peating you)” the Judge asked her, “Yes, two or three times.’ “And you alwave begged kim oft “Yes; I was to hopes he would do better.” “What do you want done with him.” “Sent from me, or he'll kill me’? The prisoner was sent six months to the Pentten- vary, As the sentence was written out and shown to a he seemed perfectly indiflerent in regard to it. MISCELLANEOUS CASES. Ellen Dixon was sent three months to the Pent- tentiary for stealing a bedquilt from the Fourth recinct station house. Edward Wilson, for,steal- Ing, &c., Was sent one month to the same institu- tion. Thomas McfHaroid, for beating his wife Brid- t, Was given One month In the Workhouse. Wm. jurton was sent four months to the Penitenti for assauls and batéery on Mr. Jaspar. Sophia Bald- win, for stealing five dollars, was sent two months to the temaie deperinent of the same place.

The third thunder shower occurred at and after forty minutes after eight o’clock in the evening.

Coroner Schirmer was yesterday notified to take the ante- mortem statement of Mrs. Levy, but on reaching the house she was found to be partially delirious and unable to give a clear apd correct version of the occurrence, Her conditiontis regarded as very critical indeed.

M. Edwards spoke upon the subject, dwelling upon the differences in description which could be observed in the writings of Professors Bayley and Smith, explaining that one was describing Eupodiscus radiatus while the other was writing about a species of Bedulphia. Dr. Edwards explained the differences as he had found them in an examination of about 1,000 speci- mens, and exhibited a number of specimens of the true Aupodiscus radiatus, These were examined by the Society, and a discussion arose after the in- spection which was joined in by almost all the members present.

Carbolic Acid Administered to Decensed=In- teresting Testimony Before Coroner Keenan Verdict Against Dr. Amand. Yesterday afternoon the inquisition before Coroner Keenan, inthe case of James Strappe, the young man who died in Bellevue Hospital from the effects of a dose of poison which had been administered to him on last Satuarday afternoon, was concluded at the Morgue. Notwithstanding the case seemed somewhat complicatec and mysterious, as the in- vestigation proceeded the mystery was dispelled and showed clearly that Strappe had swallowed an eXtra quantity of carbolic acid, which, it 3s alleged, was given him by Dr. Amand, of Bleecker street. He ordered de- ceased to take a tablespooniul of the mixture at jong intervals, Instead oi which it is thought he swallowed four tablespoonsful at once, which was too much for his system to bear, death being the re- sult. There seemed to be no testimony except the statement of deceased and hearsay evidence that the medicine was given by Dr. Amand, but Strappe told the same story to one of his employers, and also to Dr. Spreng, to whom he applied for an antidote to the poison he nad taken. The evidence adduced, which is quite important, and likewise the verdict of the jury, will be found below:— TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL GOLDEN. Michael P. Golden, of No. 416 Seventh avenue, de- pont that he was acquainted with deceased, who had been in his employ as bartender for some eighteen months; last Saturday afternoon the wit- ness saw the deceased sick in his room; he said that a doctor in Bleecker streei had given him poison; 1 sent him to the hospita:; found in his room a-bottle of medicine which he said a doctor had given hin as an antidote to the poison. TESTIMONY OF DR. SPRENG. Justus J. Spreng, of 172 West Thirty-second street, deposedt:—I ain a physician; last Saturday, about two o'clock P. M., deceased called upon me, saying that he thought he was poisoned; he said ‘he called on Dr. Amand, in Bleecker street, who gave him some medicine and told him to take a taviespoonful; de- ceased said he had taken so much, pointing to the bottle, which would make about four tablespoons- ful; he had slight nausea and afterwards vomiting slightly, mostly phi ; I gave him a prescription and sent him to a drug store for the medicine; all the symptoms J saw of poisoning was a flushing of the face, a nausea and slight vomiting: I saw him only about two miputes; he had no diarrh@a; I gave him sulphate of copper, two scruples; syrup ipecac, one ounce, With water, two ounces; take a spoonful every twenty minutes. TESTIMONY OF R. C. M. PAGE. Dr. Page deposed to being house physician in Belle- vue Hospital; deceased was admit tomy ward about five o'clock on the 19th iast., suffering with burning pain in the throat and stomach, which ex- tended more or less over the jomen; he had diar- rhora and vomiting, substance vomited being of a green color; he had a sense of constriction about the throat and dificuity of swallowing; had also thirst; he remained in that condition without much change tll half-past twelve o'clock A, M. on the 20th, when he feil into @ sieep and became in- sensible; from that time he steadily sank tll he died at forty minutes past two o'clock A. M.; | made a post mortem examination on the afternoon of the 20th; it revealed acute inflammation in the zesuphagus and patches ol mucus membrane lining the wsopha- gus and stomach, especially along iis greater con- nection; the other organs of the body were heulthy, as well as I was able to judge; in my opinion deaiir was caused bY some irritant poison. TESTIMONY OF CHARLES RICE. Charles Rice being sworn, deposes and says—! am apothecary and chemist at Bellevue Hospital; on Saturday afternoon | was suddeniy called upon to examine the contents of a basin, and was requested to look for arsenic; I examined it very hurrieciy with a view to give the proper antidote; since then I have examined a portion of the contents of the stomach of dece: and a portion of the walls of the organ and found no traces of arsenic: the walls of the stomach were eroded and covered witn eschocs; from the appearance 1 am of opinion’ that the stomach had contained some irritant poison; I have examined the contents of a bottie and find it to contain a mixture of car- bolic acid and probably glycerine and water; it con- tains enough carbolic acid to be poisonous in doses of a tables; i; four tablespoontuls of this mix- ture | would consider a very dangerous dose; I think the mixture contains least one-fourth of is volume of carbolic acid; a tablespoonful contams half an ounce; I think the lesions found in the stomach were caused by the carbolic acid; in the absence of any other cause for deach I should say that the deceased died from the effects of the ¢ar- bolic acid. The case was then submitted to the jury, who ren- dered the following VERDICT. That James Strappe came to his death by an over- dose of carbolic acid, prescribed by Dr. Desire Amand, of 142 Bleecker street, avd we hold him guilty of ae nn negligence in prescribing so large hoor of the drug. ‘he accused was then arraigned and formally ex- amined. He is forty years of age, lives at 142 Bleecker street and is a physician. In relation to the charge preferred agatnst him, 7 advice of his counsel (ex-Judge A. A. Phiilips), Dr. Amand ae- cimed for the present to make any statement. Coroner Keenan then committed him to the Tombs. Efforts will be made to procure the re- lease of the doctor on bail.

There is money in the enter- prise, if a fee were charged for admission, and the man who enters on it after General Jones betakes himself to City Hall Park will make more profit in the speculation than if he sold that venerable corner of Nassau and Liberty for the site of a national bank. Even now country folks from over the hills and far away make it an espeeta! point, even before visiting the Park, to see the source of our letter de- livery. No bazaar in Stamboul ever wore acharac- ter of such delightful confusion endless variety as the New York Post Office at noon of every day. If a stranger has a newspaper to post what bewildering gyrations he is forced to perform be- fore discovering the place in which to putit. All the holes he sees are for letters and no signboard, no friendly director meets his eye to guide bim iu his weary pursuit for the newspaper depository. He may happen, however, to turn in despair down Liberty street, and, catching a glimpse of an open and elevated entrance, strewed all round with mail bags, like sacks of corn on a barn floor, he will pos- sibly conclude some reliable mtormation may there be had. “Where is your newspaper hole’ he very hkely inquireth of the stalworth dividual engaged in stufing the mail bags. a “Here y’ar; flmg your bundie right up this way,” would be the ordinary response, and thereupon our agitated friend from the country, with no pretensions to the skill of a base ball pitcher, stands out in the centre of Liberty street, and, taking nervous aim at twenty paces, lets fly his bundle at the mail bag man, and if he hit him in the eye, which, however, sel- dom happans, the countryman is allowed to laugh and look upon it as a good joke, Seriously, however, the Post Office 1s every day becoming a less safe and satisfactory place of busi- ness for peopie with human lungs—for people of fiesh and blood—who would hardly find themselves proof against the effect of a sudden tumbling in of the old bell tower, whitch every heavy rain storm for some time past has gradually weakened until now 1t is almost as loose and as liable to go to pieces as a Rhode Island stone fence, Tue ceiling in the mail room has been tempo- rarily repaired, but no amount of mending can ever make the building proof inst the eflects of the weather. Itis rheumatic all over, with strong symp- toms of physical debility, brought on by extreme old age and poor treatment generally. Up stairs, where the money order and other offices endeavor to economize space with all the skili and cunning device with which the littie busy bee hives the honey, the July days make the clerks feel what a power there is im the rays of Old Sol. ‘The upper portion of the. Post Onice concern 1s divided into light, twilight and darkness—sunlight at one side, gaslight at the other and twilight 10 the mid- dle—iitue ventiiation, but a good deal of oppressive heat, all of which is bad enough for visitors, but much worse for the clerks. Of course this condition of things must one day have an end, but why that end should be so long coming, with such an outrage as the present Post Oilice staring us every day in the face, ts truly unaccountable. Nevertheless, in spite of every drawback, of bad light and ventilation, insufficient space, rickety rafters, falling mortar and other such unpleasatt reminders, the business of the Post Office under the administration of General Jones and his assistants ts on with a completeness really wonderful under the circumstances, The latest improvement started by the Postmaster 18 to unite by telegraph ali the subordinate stations throughout the city— thirteen in number, from A to N—with the Post Ofice m Nassau street. The want of this system of comunication between the head and the sub offices. has been inconveniently felt for some time. “When in operation it will save the lime and trouble of sending messengers around to the stations when it becomes necessary to make im- mediate inquiries about a letter, pack: or news- paper for Which a person may desive information at the Post OMce without being able’ to tell at which station it may be lying. The Post Ofice contracts with the Western Union Company that a3 an equiva- Jent for the space iree of rent granied the company in each station, the latter shall put up a telegraph maclune and do the business indicated gratis with the understanding of carrying on their usual trans- actions with the public at the same time. The delivery system is proving a@ great success. The number of boxes at the Post Oftice is now only five thousand, ana is every day decreasing. If the establishment was further up town the box system would be much less patronized, and with the in- crease in the number of letter carriers tits rather priuitive mode of delivering correspondence would linaily fall into disuse. ‘There have been no changes of any importance this month among the empioy¢s, but in the neigh. borhood oi the Ist of July it is the intention of the Postinaster to direct a limited number of alterations in the force. Office seekers still continue to drop in upon the Postmaster with ietters and credentials, but they are far less numerous and clamorous than they were a few months ago. There is a limit to vacancies in the Post Ufice, but no limit, apparently, to the ap- Plications, if five or «ix hundred candidates tor one place be any evidence. THE CUSTOM HOUSE. The Custom House wore its customary bustling appearance yesterday, up stairs and down. Busy clerks turned over heavy ledgers with unceasing in- dustry, and busy merchauts and merchants’ clerks from all the avenues of down-town trade hurried in and out with papers and portiolios from the rovunda of the buildmg. Every desk bore tts pile of papers, and through the pigeon-hole openings of these ratied- in places of clerical labor transactions of heavy pe- cumiary and commercial import were carried on with a celerity and noiselessness strikingly curious to the uninitiated mind. Up stairs, on the second floor, Collector Grinnell held @ levee of very various visitors. When the reporter of the Herap entered the Collector's chamber about a score of individuals were scattered around on chairs apd lounges or leaning against rosewood desks and fluted pilasters. Something ap peared to be under discussion before the Collector whieh interested every ofice-seeker, or whatever else might be the character of the looker-on: and very soon it became easy to determine that the representatives of two rival nationalities were arguing @ personal point in no very amiabic mood towards each other, and that the pair were respec. tively a “biarsted Britisher” and @ “universal Yan- kee.” It was also very easy to determine how the current of Foaling. flowed amor the spectators, and that the Britisher had only to be anywhere else, save under the protecting wgis of Collector Grinnell, to be punched past redemption for charging the aforesaid “univer Yankee” with — abusive language towards him. fhe Britiaher, ‘a tall, thin, well en and correctly dressed per- son, ch the Yankee, a Custom House officer of jd, bin‘? manners and decidedly independ- ent bearing, with using towards him unnecessartiy curt and abusive language at the Cunard dock in Jersey City. The Britisher, it scems, came out from “merry hold Hingland” recently, and ordered to be nent after him inthe next steamer for New York a of old clothes. The steamer duly arrived, and the native of Albion proceeded to the Canard dock to get his parcel, Clothes, it secems, according to Custom Honse reguia- tions, are charged duty provided they are new; if old, they pass free, but all such track is sent to the general merchandise store aiter delivery from the steamer, The owner of the old clothes inquired for his parce), and spec 1 its character. He was treated rudely in the ansWer that was returned, but it appears he finally got the old clothes, though with- out the accompanying apology, which he wanted. Therewen o complaint was made to Collector Grin- neil, and to this the HERALD reporter had the great satisfaction of listening yesterday afternoon, as it may yet, though of course it 1s to be strongly, hoped not, hasten a sanguinaty settiemeut of the Alabama claims, The Britisher desired an apology, the Yan- kee refused to give it; Ure latter looked the tradi- tional ideal of the former, the former the tradittonal ical of the latter, The Alabama paratiel was completely reversed, but, nevertheless, (here was interest in the alteration, The case of Britisher en- listed the sympathy of the jndiciouws and impar- tial, but the manner of the demand had a counter. acting influence. Finally the Collector, who heard both sides with that marvellous patience and seren- ity of his, decided that if the Britisher brought an- questioned proof that he himself gave no provoca- tion, desired no illegal favor and could furnish the words he deemed “habusive and hinsuitin’’’ he should get all the sattat jon that Was reasonable, Here isa it for Angland to foliow. After this case Was over the ofice-coekers made a 1 siege on Collector; be dispersed them with @ wave of his hand, and aiarted off art to the Sie of a country dinner in bonor of hie par- ticular friends, WOMAN'S SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION. ‘The clerk of the weather has proven himself dia- metrically opposed to woman's enfrancnisement; for each Tuesday afternoon he uncorks the'vials of his wrath and douses unmercifully the faithful sis- ters, Undoubtedly the poor fellow is afraid of having a female imstalled in the position he has filled so long and creditably, and, judging from the revengeful visages which visited the “bureau” in this city yesterday, bis fears are not without foun- dation. Tp the absence of its presiding oMcer Mrs. PHELPS (next in rank) called the meeting to order, moving that Mrs. Wilbur fill the position of secretary, as that important functionary was also away. After being elected—according to true parliamentary rules—Mrs. WILBUR placed before her audience & plan for the organization of different conventions— an elaborately prepared articie, containing much good advice, Miss ANTHONY moved that before voting upon its acceptance Miss Cozzens be heard. Accordingly, ter- ra a a re Saas upon the fifteenth amendment. According to her embryonic ideas, its advocates had plainly confessed its weakness by refusing to have it publicly discussed. The President’ of the Boston Con- vention came in proach, while the for a black woman was as being in ali respects superior to her lord and master. Women of all grades and colors had al- ways been considered ‘men’s helpless household slaves,” and the fifteenth amendment thrusts the poor dears sull farther down in the “scale of degra- dation.’? For over twenty-five years her elder co- laborers had been striving to bring the vital ques- tion of feminine tg ed before their country; they had accomplished vulean tasks and still it was uphill work. She then proceeded with some old and very weil known arguments, and ended by claiming ole a sex ‘“‘an equal dominion over all the earth. Mrs, BLAKE then expressed herself as glad that this amendment was ont of the way; but she had “counted her chickens” altogether too as Miss Cozzens very unceremoniously informed r, for ‘the terrible clog stone was not yet removed.§ Although suppressed, Mrs. Blake was not con- quered, and, with the pertinacity common to her sex, she rose, proposing that conventions a entirely of women be held in the Western States. Miss SUSAN ANTHONY, the experienced, believes in “givmg the devil his due,” and very plainly in- formed those present that such organizations would be of no earthly use. Miss De Jones desired to know the pecuniary situation—asking, as she remarked with dignity, “entirely for information.”” Miss ANTHONY replied, with her customary readi- ness, showt forcibly the need of money, and ad- vising the ladies to flatter and cajoic all the loras of creation with whom they {were connected—fattery agreeing much better (according to her yideas) with male bipeds than common sense. Men possessed the money, and men ghad stolen fit—(here the lady fearing perhaps a suitfforllibel,expiained herself)—by putas into their pockets ,the proceeds of woman’s labor. Mrs. WILBUR proposed to hold meetings in the dif- ferent. Congressional districts of this city. It was de- cided that such a meeting should be held on Thurs- day evening, the 24th, in theySeventh Congressional district, which comprises the Eleventh and Seven- teenth wards, while another will be held on Friday, the following night, district and wards unknown, at which Miss Cozzens will display her powers of oratory. After some trifling details the meeting adjourned. INTERESTING TO HORTICULTURISTS. Approaching Horticultural Exhibition in Ger- many—Official Correspondence on the Sub- Ject.

On Sunday last Lucien Ashford, of Schuyler county, Mo., was murdered by R. B. Lane. A diti- culty had existed between them for some time, and Lane had repeatedly threatened to kill Ashford; but as he was known to be considerable of a braggart no particular notice was taken of his threats, either by Ashford or his friends. About a week previous to the murder they had met and renewed the quar- rel, and Lane again swore that he would kill Ash- ford. During last week Lane wrote out a challenge to Ashford to fight a anel, but could get no one to carry it to Ashiord, On the day of the murder Lane went to the residence of Ashford, armed with a large butcher knife, and chal- lenged him to a deadly conflict, using any weapon he might choose. Asiford picked up a orick and Sane a blow that caused him to measure bis length on the ground and then sprang over the fence and alighted almost upon hts murderous foe. By this time Lane had partially recovered from the effects of the blow irom the brick, and as Ashford struck the ground he (Lane) raised his body p: y up and thrust the butcher knife into the bowels of Ashford, and then sprang up and dealt another blow, inflicting a terrible gash tn the shoulder of the fali ing victim, then mounted his horse and rode rapialy away. He was pursued as soon as the fact of the murder and fight was known and traced to Union- town, Scotland county, where all traces of him were lost, Ashford lived until Monday.

The Hamilton park property, owing to the inclemency of the weather, was postponed until to-day or next Friday. ‘This deferring of asale of such popular property caused many regrets. The sale of A. D. Mellick’s at Crawford, N. J., was quite @ success. Notwith- standing the wet morning, the train left at eleven A. M., on the Central road, with about 100 people on board, mainly buyers, or they would have staid at home on so wet a morning. A collation was served, including strawberries and ice cream, under the shade of an appie orchard, which served in @ meas- ure to keep off the rain, The sale commenced on the grounds, but the rain increasing, the people were driven to the house, where it continued, but the property selling cheaper, because being by many not seen. The saie at Dunellen will take place to- day. There will be no postponement on account of the weather, ‘The sales yesterday were as follows:— NEW YO.

The Grasshopper Army ou the Wing—A Track of Desolation Behind Them. (From the St. Joseph (Mo.) Herald, June 18.) Countless myrtads of grasshoppers have lately made their appearance on the north and eastern shores of Sait Lake, aud are marching or hopping to- Wards the City of the Desert. The rote around Promontory Point is ifteratly black with the young and rapacious insects, They are now about three- fourths of an inch im length, black im color, and more resembling a cricket than a grasshopper. But as they mecrease in size their color changes to wn. From the account given us it appears that our city willagain be yieited by this scourge. We learn that the scourge which passed over Sait Lake two years since continued its march, and the following season made its appearance in the lower end of the Great Basin, where the scenes of the previous year were enacted. This season the hordes have appeared in the extreme southern Mormon settlements, where they are destroying everything before them. The: are now some 900 malles from Salt Lake, the localf- ties over whieh they have passed having had one year's respite from their ravages. It seeme that when these tsects reach maturity they deposit their eags in the sotl and die, The following season the eggs are hatched by the warmth of the spring and a pew army follows on its march.
