great a success.

FEVER AT SYDENHAM. —The South London Press
says that the village of Sydenham, lying on the side of
the bill crowned by the Crystal Palace, is just now suffering
from the combined effects of hot weather, bad drainage,

and scanty water. There is scarcely a house in which there
is not some child or other inmate suffering from fever of an
aggravated kind. A large percentage of the cases which have
occurred up to this Clue have proved fatal—one household
having lost five out of seven children. Many of the
houses—the oldest especially—are altogether without a
supply of water, having to trust to slimy wells, or pumps,
or to the kindness of their neighbours. The greatest alarm
is felt in the neighbourhood, although, as yet, no public
action has been taken in the matter.

THE HARVEST IN RUSSIA.—The Goias, of St.
Petersburg, says :—"The die seems to be cast ; the harvest
for 1868 is announced as being bad in several provinces
of the Russian Empire. The news from those on the
Baltic arc not better than from the southern ones. In
Livonia and Courland for some time past an unfavourable
result has been expected ; but a tolerably good year was
hoped for in Esthonia, where at present nothing but
lamentations arc heard. The communal reserves are
almost exhausted, and serious doubts arc entertained as to
whether the new yield will refill them. The following
is the report we receive from the south :—All the farmers
in the Government of Pultowa aro in despair. The
reaping ought to commence in a fortnight, and there is
nothing to gather y neither rye, nor oats, nor hay—every,
thing 14 burnt up ; not one tiro') of rain has fallen since
