That Nature regulates and equalizes all things is appar- ent from the table appended below, for if the fore- noon was vely warm the afternoon was very cool. From ten o’clock A. M. until three P. M, the ther- mometer steadily rose, indicating at the last named hour ninety-five degrees in the shade. Many of the horse car lines ia the city lost horses yesterday by the extreme heat. The Third Avenue line lost three horses and had several others dis- abled so that they cannot resume work for some days. On the west side lines there were also a number of horses prostrated. At about half-past three P. M. a fresh, cool breeze began to stir, which drove the sultry, heavy air from tne streets and cooled everything. In an hour a marked decrease was to be noted in the thermometer, which gradu- ally continued until six P. M., when old Fahrenheit told eighty-tive degrees. From six P. M. until nine the breeze continued to blow with increased force until it seemed as though it were the precursor of a rain storm. The following is the list of sunstrokes which occurred yesterday :— Richard H. Wilcox, of Brooklyn, found in Grand street. Attended by Dr. Roberts and sent home. Dennis Bicshew, 60 years of age, of No. 7 Oak street, found corner of Nineteenth street and Irv- 1g Bice, Attended by Dr. Sandborn and sent to Bellevue Hospital.

The Villains Who Wrecked the Rock Island Train on the Prairie Hotly Par- sued by the Police and Citizens=—A Desperate Conflict Expected. Aspecial despatch from St. Joseph, Mo., says that telegrams received there state that a number of the Iowa railroad train robbers crossed the Han- nibal and St. Joseph Railroad a few miles east of Chillicothe on Thursday, with a large party of pursuers only three miles behind them. The Hd ple in every Section of the country that could be reacned by oor have been advised, and the roads in every direction are guarded by bodies of men. Two of the robbers are said to be notorious desperadoes of Clay county, Mo. e despatch further states that there never was such a determined pursuit of villains as in this in- stance, and it seems almost impossible for the rob- bers to Cy It is believed, however, that they will not be taken without a terrible conflict, as they know that capture means instant death. MILWAUKEE IBON ROLLERS ON STRIKE, MILWAUKEB, July 26, 1873, A strike at the Milwaukee Iron Company's rolling mill was inangurated yesterday.

This throws nearly a thousand men out of employment, The strike is not for wages, but on account of the discharge of some unruly members. FIRE IN OALIFORNIA. SAN Francisco, July 26, 1873.

A German Murders His: Wife Because She Re- fuses to Get His Supper. Interview with the Murderer—Unconscious of His Crime—Married Twenty-five Years and Nover Had a Quarrel—The Scene of the Dark Deed—The Room of Death. Last evening about six o'clock a German, named Caspar {chuler, killed his wife Caroline at 30 Riving- tom street. Caspar Schuler is a plasterer and mason,by trade, and was at work all day in Stanton street, not re- turning home as usual for dinner in the middle of the day. After his work was over he went to meet his wife at a store in Rivington street, where she worked as ascrubber. She told him she would be home shortly. He went home, and then went out again for 4 PINT OF LAGER BEER, which he drank with a crust of bread. Soon after his wife came home. He told her to get supper, and then went out again. Once more returning he found no supper, and then spoke rather roughly to his wife, reiterating his order to her to get supper, She then retused, and said, ‘Time enough.’ This enraged Caspar, and he said if she didn’t go about it immediately he would make her. She responded in the same tone, and there was immediately evidence of a serious quarrel. Mrs, Schuler was standing in the little yard which is situated between the front and rear houses, which are both numbered 30 Rivington street, and close by the hydrant. Schuler, who was standing inside his room on the ground foor, on her repeated refusal to get his supper, then came out, and asking her once more to do 80, and receiving a refusal, drew back and struck her with some instrument. (The nature of which has not been ascertained.) The woman fell instantly and blood gushed in torrents from the wound, to that extent that A RIVULET OF BLOOD ran down the little gutter which runs into the street. The woman, after falling against the hy- drant, gave a gasp or two and died, in less than three minutes after being struck, Instantly, upon inflicting the wound, and while his wife was in the act of falling, with her arms distended, Schuler, the murderer, his hands and shirt besmeared with his wife’s blood, ran through his rooms, and, pulling up the back window, crept througn tt and over the fence which separates the back oi the house irom the yard of 171 Stanton street. Here he slunk behind the closet in the yard, until a moment a!ter, being seen by Mrs. Mar- ‘aret Skebeck, who keeps a lager beer saloon at 71 Stanton street, he ran to the hydrant in the rear and began WASHING HIS HANDS of the blood which was upon them, She. ex: claimed :— wae - “You have noes eating vant wife, Caspar !!’ i The n r hearing this ran sharply throu, Aer an ein igto Stanton Rereore down Stanton to Chrystie, thelice to Delancey, when the hue and cry aiter him attracted the attention of Olficer Brennan, of the Tenth precinct, who gave chase and soon captured Schuler, and took him to the station houge in Eldriage street, near Grand, where he was locked up. HERALD reporter had AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MURDERER, aoe two Le tha he tragedy, in his coy. ichuler, upon being called, jumped up promptly. He is @ somewhat tall and muscular German, speaking little English, with lightish hair and chin beard, and with by no meansa wicked look. He was dirty and his shirt still snowed biood stains. He ‘was not aware that his wile was dead, aud seemed to be under the impression that she was only slightly hurt. During the interview he chatted in the vest of humor and laughed constantly. He told the story of the dispute as written above; but when the reporter asked him what he had struck his wife with he said, deprecatingly :— “Only with my fist. I would not strike a woman with anything else. I care a great deal for my frau, but now and then she wants a little ——’ Ana he made the Pear of administering cor- poral punishment and laughed. ceil they say she is badly hurt,” hazarded the reporter. Fon, no, she is not, only a little. There was some glass in the yard that some one had brought there, and I guess she fell on it when I pushed her with my fist. 1 was very mad. She made me so by not getting my supper. I worked hard all day and was very hungry.” Hoh you agreed well generally with your wite +" “Oh, yes; we never had a dispute before, and we are wartried twenty-five years. I always cared a for her (he said this with tears in his eyes), ant SHE IS A GOOD WIFE. When I camé here aud worked I used to send my money home w her. I have been here twice—the firat lime five years—and then went back. I came here in 1865, but she has been here only five years. We came irom Baden, where I was in the Second regiment infantry. We always got on well together, but you know women want correction now and -then, The murderer laughed again, and it was awful to think while watching him that at the moment he did not know the deed he had done, and did not realize how hideous.was his joy. He then said:— “T bet ee she won't refuse to get me my supper again. I'll snow her.” While speak! the murderer’s breath smelled only slightly of the lager he had drank, and he was evidently in possession of his full senses. The reporter left the place, Schuler bidding a cheerful “Good night,” apparently in the belier that he would be free the next morning. The aes then, accompanied by Special Officer Peter Laffey, visited THE SCENE OF THE BUTCHERY. Proceeding up @ dark alleyway about four feet wide and some forty long the yard was reached. Exactly opposite the end of the alleyway is the hydrant where the murdered woman poured out her life blood. The yard is not more than ten feet wide and was impregnated by the most loathsome odor. Directly on the yard faced the win- dows of the rooms lon; to the Schuler family. The first, dimly lighted with a kerosene lamp, was occupied by @ policemat youth and @ man. The youth and the man were engaged in chatting together and drinkin; lager beer. The policeman looked on without ticipating. The room bore the aspect of misery. The whitewashed walls were bare with the excep- tion of two badly executed colored prints of Bis- marck and the Kaiser Wilhelm. The furniture was in the last stage of disease, Off the front room and towards the rear was a little room about six feet square; on one side was a broken-down bedstead, and on this lay the murdered woman covered with a soiled sheet. Her face alone was visible. It appeared to have & kindly expression though slightly drawn in pain. She was evidently about fifty years or » With dark hair. The face exnibited a deadly Legh which was made all the more ap- parent by the handkerchief which had been tied round it to keep the tace in a natural position. The whole aspect of the room was one of the direst | toasage and, indeed, misery. ‘The special gently irew the curtain aside, Tevealing A REPULSIVE SIGHT. The clothes which the murdered woman still wore were saturated with blood, and on the right side of the white breast was a deep gash extend- ing in a tria lar line downwards near the shoulder, as if it had been made with a trowel, which, by the way, has not been found. The bayonet wound was large enough to put the hand in, and the immediate cause of death was the severing of the main artery. It was caused witha somewhat blunt instrument, as the surtace flesh had been, as it were, driven in by the blow which was inflicted. As the sheet was drawn aside a young and rather good-looking woman drew back with a slight exclamation and a shudder. This was the married daughter of the murdered woman. At the same moment a dirty-looking youth came from the rear room of all, which re an aspect still more shocking than the other. He looked scared. This was THE SON OF THE MURDERED WOMAN, Ludwig Schuler. He said he was not present when the murder took place, but came in soon after, and fainted when he saw his dead mother. The atinosphere of the room was terrible, and while the scene of death was pictured in its most horrible intensity the clashing of the glasses of the drinkers in the front broke upon the ear with a strange, weird sound and as if im mockery of the dreaa deed which had left its impressin the house. The whole scene was hoathsome and unbegrabie, and it jarred on the nerves to hear the special say, sotto voce:— “J guess we'll be able to find that trowe)."” An inquest will be held this morning at the house, 30 Rivington street, upon tne body of Mrs. Caroline Schuler. ALMOST ANOTHER WIFE MUEDER. At about eight o’clock last night John Devine, aged forty-seven, had a quarre! with his wife Anna, during which he struck her a terrible biow on the forehead with a bar of iron, causing, however, only severe flesh wound. It is almost miraculous how she escaped death. She was attended by Dr. Phelps and sent home, Devine was arrested. ATTEMPT AT PRATRIOIDE. At fifteen minutes to ten o’clock last night John Sullivan and his brother Bartholomew had a quar- rel, during which the latter seized an axe and brought down a mat blow on his brother's wris' though it was aimed at the head. The woun made was very severe. He was attended and had to be taken home, weak irom lose of bicod, Bar- thalomew escaped, THE JERSEY BANK ROBBERY. The Caso Given to the Jury—Judge Soudder’s Charge—The Jury Out Thirteen Hours, with No Result—Locked Up for the Night—Conflicting Rumors as to How They Stand. The great trial of the Jersey City police officials for conspiracy has ended and is now before the jury. The usual congregation of citizens were present in the Court House yesterday morning when Judges Soudder and Wiggips took their seats upon the bench, and the audience were soon lulled into silence, At intervals during the delivery of Judge Scudder’s address muMedé murmurs of ap- probation ran through thecourtroom. The charge was extremely temperate, terse and cautiously worded, being just what was expected from the even-tempered and courteous presiding Judge. It was looked upon favorably by counsel for both sides, and was regarded generally as one to which neither side could take exception. After congratu- lating the jurors and members of the press on the close of the trial, Judge Scudder spoke substan- tlatly as follows :— The indictment is for a conspracy, entered into on the 6th of May with Proctor, Dennin and Foley, to rob the First National Bank of Jersey City. It isin the usual form, charging these defendants with having conspired for this criminal purpose. The simple issue to be tried is whether these de- fendants, or either of them, are guilty of conspir- acy with the burglars, Either of them, or both, may be convicted. The nature and object of con- spiracy were then defined by the Judge. It is not denied, he said, that the acts of some of the con- spirators were criminal, THE PRINCIPAL WITNESSES are Proctor, Dennin and Foley. They are all com- petent witnesses. Tneir testimony is clearly ad- missible, but the value of that testimony is for the jury to consider. If the testimony of these men stood without support I would say to the jury that, although they might convict on it, yet I should not advise a conviction. Outside of the testimony of accomplices there should be proof of the circum- stances of the crime and that the defendants were implicated in it. The number of accomplices who testify 1s immaterial. Their evidence must be cor- roborated. Let us examine briefly the evidence, Dennin is the principal witness, There is appar- ently some discrepancy between his statement on the first trial and his statement on the second as regards the person WHO FIRST PROPOSED THE PLOT. ‘The omission on the part of the burglars in rela- tion to the doings of Cummings is worthy of con- sideration, as it goes to show a lack of consisteacy. After detailing the plans and work of the con- spirators His Honor sald:—Is the story of the burglars a probable one or is it false on its face? Is it made up for some sinister purpose or is it true? This question is to be determined by the Aare. ht erin that suppose te Wag impro} ven impossible, The de- Fondant wate het He A er ofthe public and they are oharged with having been in league with the ve vi worgt enemies of the public. When we think i he sufferings lopees that would ensue upon he robbery of tho bank it jg dificult to believe that the defendants could pla: 80 HGARTLESS AN UNDERTAKING. Character is the shield of police oiMfcers when they must $9 among thieves for the detection of crime. And in order to be. able to judge whether this snield is sufficient to aid in exonerating these delendants it is necessary to examine into their character. McWilliams has already been con- victed of conspiracy with public offenders to rob the city treasury, He was, moreover, addicted to drink, and although his tippling was not criminal, it, nevertheless, tends to weaken confidence and to show his weakuess in resisting Reapyaton: Against Doyle's previous character nothing has been sala, But il these men had always acted up- rightly and were beyond reproach, this case would be promptly thrown out. Again, when was this story first told? Not before October. Was this delay to tell the story caused by the hope of aid? Was it arranged that while on the way to a magis- trate’s office these parties were to escape through THE COMPLICITY OF THESE DEFENDANTS? Or was this delay part of a plot on the part of the burglars, in company) with Mrs, Devereux, toentrap the defendants? What was their motive tor so doing? Is it a development of the natural spirit ot thieves against their pursuers? Isit a revenge on these officers who guarded them? Or is it a hope of pardon? There is no promise of pardon heid out to accomplices in this State for giving testimony in @ court of justice. But in case of doubt and conflicting statements it is important that the jury consider what motives the burglars had, if any, for so doing. The defendants flatly contradict the burglars’ statements. Each of the deiendants is a competent witness for himsell. They deny completely and fully all knowledge of the crime until after the arrest was made. It the testimony stood in this manner between the par- ties I suould promptly advise the jury to acquit hem. But the State tas offered CORROBORATIVE EVIDENCE. This should prove some fact which can satisfy you that the plot was gotten up and that the de- Jendants were implicated in it. Mrs. Devereux is brought forward to show this. viet hot J con- sidered, she is in all respects a suspicious witness. The Judge then contrasted the evidence of Mc- Williams with that of Mrs. Devereux, and asked the jurors whom they would believe? There isa corroboration, he continued, of some facts in this case. Handcuil keys were found in Denning’s cell; a despatch was sent by Doyle to John Ahern, saying, “The examination will not take place to-day.” This reiers to a re-examination, and it is for you to determine thercirom whether or not Doyle and McWilliams were interested in the re-examination as part of a plot to effect the Telease 01 the prisoners. Speaking of the arrange- ment made between Mrs. Devereux and McWilliams to meet at 212 West Forty-third street, the Judge said: Much depends on the character of McDonough. His story of the interview and Mrs. Devereux’s account agree in the important particulars. Mrs, Devereux and. McDonough agree in saying that the first question put was, “Who put up this job ?”? and the answer of Doyle was, ‘‘McWilliams.”” Con- cerning the division of the plunder they are also agreed. If the jury BELIEVES M’DONOUGH’S EVIDENCE it is strongly corroborative of the evidence of Denning and Mrs. Devereux. The conversation of Doyle and Mrs. Devereux, however, cannot be con- sidered ist McWilhams, unless you believe that McWilliams was told of this by Doyle and that the latter was acting for McWilliams. It waa pe- culiar that when Doyle was asked whether McWil- liams had not put up the job he did not grow in- dignant, but merely deniedgt. Referring to the letter alleged by the State to bave been written by Doyle to Denning, Judge Scudder told the jury to compare that letter with other writing of Doyle's and then determine whether it was written by Doyle, or Va Mrs. Devereux and McDonough in order toentrap Doyle. If Doyle wrote it it is evi- dence it him, showing his guilt, If not it will work in his javor, Again THE FLIGHT OF M’WILLIAMS 1s a presumption of guilt and calls tor a satisfac- tory explanation. All the circumstances of that flight must be weighed with ordinary caution and the light of your own experience in determinin; the nature of the flight. Onthe other hand it worthy of remark that no person ever saw either MeWillitams or Doyle in conterence with any of the burglars prior to the date of the arrest. jen the arrest was made both defendants were absent. Were they absent by accident or by design? Was Doyle away previously in consequence of ill- ness? There are contradictions and difficulties in case are not easy of solution, Alter all, it is a curious, complicated affair, but it all comes to the simple question—Do you believe that all this is an adroit plan to entrap these defendants, or do you believe that they per- petrated a base crime Loe the public? It is de- sirable that there should be an end of litigation. If you believe them guilty, convict them promptly; if innocent, or if you entertain a reasonable doubt of their it, let them go free. The defendants sat facing the Judges during the delivery of the charge, and maintained their cus- tomary composure. Three officers were then a pointed and sworn, with the usual formalitie to take care or the jurors pending the deliberations. The Judges had proper arrange- ments made for attendance to the sick juror, Mr, O’Brien, who, with much difficulty, endeavored to be present. At twelve o'clock the jurors retired, and the officers were sworn to pre- vent communication with them. It is said that slips Of paper were thrown subsequently from the windows of the jury room, announcing that ten were for conviction and two ior acquittal. Another rumor prevailed that eleven were for acquittal and one for conviction; but this is highly improbable. At eight o’clock the foreman intimated that there was no prospect of immediate agreement and reireshments were accordingly sent to them. At hall-past ten the jurors again announced that they could not agree, when Judge Scudder sent them k for the night. Up toone o’clock this morning there were no indications of an agreement. Both sides are obstinate, and will probably verify the prediction that no Hudson county jury will convict the de- fendants, BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A NEGRO. PHILADELPHIA, July 26, 1873, A serious stabbing affray happened at the corner of Seventh and Pine streets this evening, at half, past nine o'clock.

Groesbeck, of Ohio, Maps Out a “Third Party” Programme. The Old Organization Useless. A POLITICAL MILLENNIUM. ——_.+_—_—. .. Present and Former Democrats and Dissatis- fied Republicans Unite. Monopoly, Centralization and Tyranny Must Cease. FREE TRADE AND HOME GOVERNMENT. Prohibitory Tariffs Barbarous and Inapposite. CINCINNATI, July 26, 1873, The following important letters from Mr. Groes- beck regarding the third party movement have been furnished for publication :— JULY 25, 1873, Judge COLLINS :— My DEAR Str—I feel very much obliged to you and the gentlemen who calied to-day for the honor you proposed to confer upon me, but J will not reconsider the answer then made. I will not accept the nomination for the office of Governor, While this is so, | warmly sympathize in what you propose to accomplish, and hope the time is near when presens democrats and former democrats and all dissatisfied republicans shall be cordially united under a single organization. I don’t think there is anything sacred in mere part; ‘organizations. They are only machinery whicl should be repaired when out of order, and renewed when too much worn. A constitution of govern- ment is @ more sacred organization than that of a political party, yet we don't hesitate to pull down a constitution in order to put up a new one. We have a convention at Columbus, now engaged in that work. I give you the letter to which you referred. It was written to agentieman in New York before your movement began and without reference to it, It was hot written for publication, and not exactly as I would have written it with that view; but you are at liberty to publist it if you think it may con- tribute in the least degree to a closer and firmer union of all who are opposed to the present admin- istration. Very respectfully, W. 8. GROESBECK. | THE NEW Party. INCINNATI, May 6, 1873. My Dear. Sir—I have your letter of April’ 23. [ should have answered it sooner and have no sufi- clent.apology for not doing so. Font ms to say that the reply I here make to it is not for publica- tion, but personal to yourselfand those at whose jestion you have written. I believe the histori- cal democratic organization Blun- dering constantly during the last ten ears and shattered by many defeats, ¢ sufrendered finally at the last Presiden- tal election. It cannot recall that surrender or the confessions then made, and it has no longer strength enough tor victory. In this extremity it will be wise to lay aside the old organization and enter into a new one. The new organizaticn should accept the results of the war, as was done at Baltimore, and it should accept tnem in good faith and so as to command the confidence of the eople ; and in order to command the confidence of he people the new organization should be some- thing different from a recast of the old one. There should be no exclusiveness about it, nor should tt be merely democratic. It should be made up of present democrats, of former democrats and of all republicans who are offended by the policy and tendeneies of the present administration. The new organization should be the joint work of demo- crata and republicans, and both should be equally at home in it, neither the guest of the other, You ask what should be its name. CALL If THE LIBERAL DEMOCRACY. That will mean the free, unselfish government of the people, And now as to its doctrines or princi- ples. ‘ou ask in this connection how the question Of negro suffrage should be treated. That ques- tion is no longer before us. Negro suffrage is the is spoiled. bloody consummation of a great war, and nothing short of war can undo it in our day. In my opimon it will endure in this government as long as general suffrage. I comprehena the objections to it, and think it was granted too soon to that part of our popu- lation recently emancipated, All should make some preparation for this day. We deny suf- to the foreigner for a time in order that he may prepare for it, and we have schools for all on the theery that all should prepare for it; but it is granted and it cannot be recalled. Nor do I think it wise in such @ government as this, To keep permanently so large a,part of our people ia inferior, d wate condition would be a ater danger and always trouble us. Say we ave adopted a doubtful policy; it is done; I ac- cept it, and on all such questions admitted, to be oi doubtiul expediency, I shali for the remainder of my Yife. If perchance I must err I shall strive at least to be tolerant, generous and humane, and, after all,I rely for good voting ag much upon the heart as upon the head. NO MONOPOLIES. Iconcur in what else you suggest. The new or- ganization should oppose all forms of monopoly. This is too plain to need argument. Monopolies are an outrage and an ollence against the people. The new organization should oppose centralization, and it should advocate home government in all local affairs, and to the utmost extent that is practicable. You cannot keep a people free, sturdy and intelligent without home govern- ment. It is home government that trains us, teaches self-reliance and develops manliness. Take it away and the freedom disappears. Cen- tralize power at Washington and we are trans- ferred to outside management, no longer govern- ing ourselves. We must be governed. Depending upon Washington, we lose our self-dependence, and the tree citizen soon degenerates into a mere subject, whose whole duty is to obey law, and whose only desire is to be amused in idleness. You refer me also to the QUESTION OF FREB TRADE. The new organization should make it one of its cardinal doctrines. There should be no equivo- cation or double poet) about this. A prohibitory tariff is in plain contradiction to the character of our government. We are all equal in rights, privileges and immunities. There should be no dis- criminstions, no favoritism, no partiality, personal or financial, and as a commercial policy a pro- hibitory tariff is behind the age—almost a barbarism—and belongs to the times when nations were walled and commerce without wings. I believe I have substantially answered your letter. The new organization may properly antagonize the party now administrating our affairs at. almost every point. While this is so it should not under- take to do everything at once, or push efforts with- out regard for immediate consequences. Changes that shock by their abruptness are not always just or fair. We should NEVER FORGET SOUND PRINCIPLES, and we should move toward them constantly, surely and steadily, but sometimes gradually. i do not believe in datly revolutions or in sudden and violent derangement of public affairs. Let me suggest a doctrine to which you have not referred. I mean the doctrine of strict construc. tion of the constitution. Have you considered what a certain preventive of misgovernment may found in the faithful application of this doctrine. I believe such an application of it would correct almost every public evil of which we complain! It is worth your while to test its reacn and efficacy. And what a splendid doctrine tor such @ government as ours! How it exalts the individual man, and how it subordinates the gov- ernment! It may fetter the government now and then, but never the citizen. He always remains uppermost and master. I am not a politician and competent to advise; but if you should make such 4 movement as you propose it should be conducted so as to give the strongest assurance that it sought reform and not cae lama democrat, but I should be very glad to see tne democracy move out of its old organization into a new one. You will not succeed unless they do. It may be that they will refuse and prefer to tarry where they are for the balance of the century and unril they can fx the meanin; of the resolutions of '98. so, I suppose Ishall tarry with them, After all, like them and I like the old political homestead. 1 confess it is somewhat dilapidated.

To THE EDITOR oF THE HERALD:— My attention having been called to what pur- ports to be some remarks made by Major General Manuel Quesada, of the Cuban Army, to a HERALD reporter on the 22d inst., to the effect that he was the “only commander-in-chief” the Cuban army “ever had,” anc that no commander-in-chief was appointed after he “resigned,” [ have to annex, as: a Rate of the history of the Cuban revolution, the following official document.

This morning the men spent in “doing the city.” At the same time the office in response to an invitation irom ex-Lieutenant Governor Winchester, examined his extensive rifle works on Canal street, aiter which they were: regaled with a fine repast at the palatial residence of Mr. Winchester on the heights of Prospect street. In the afternoon, at four o'clock, the Seventy- first and Second regiments assembled onthe pe lic square, and were reviewed by General William P. Trowbridge, Adjutant General of the State, in the presence of Governor bio grees Mayor Lewis and the Common Council. large assemblage of people was also gathered, notwithstanding tha heat. After the review there followed a dress parade of the two regiments, and then the Seventy-firat were escorted byghe Second regiment to the boat, and soon after the Seventy-first departed for home amid cheers from their friends on shore. The members appeared highly pleased with their. visit, and certainly the citizens never exerted them- vb more zealously to entertain military vise tors, Besides Putting All Noxious Insecta hors de combat, KNUWLES’ INSECT DESTROYER is using up all its Would-be competitors.
