Fearful Visitations.

Events, startling and affective, have crowded
so rapidly upon each other for the last fortnight,
that before the mind is reconcied to ono dspen-
sation, the ear is panied with intelligence of 9TH
ers. The telegraph wires keep flashing the out
lines of calamties, the sad details of which bur-
then the mails. The CHOLERA "wasteth at
MONDAY" in the cities upon our Western Riv-
ers. New Orleans is threatened with inunda-
ton by waters which are breaking through their
accustomed barriers! The fairest portion of the
city of st. Louis is a charred and smoking ruin
A destructive fire has swept madly over the in
FAINT city of Milwaukee Our own city of New
York has been the theatre of fearful and fatal
riot, which stained alike its streets and its char
acter with the blood Of innocent victims Be.
fore the wall of bereaved survivors was hushed,
nearly all the business portion of Watertown
was consumed. And while our columns groan.
ed with these heavy tdngs, magnificent Steam
er, in which two hundred and fifty souls were re-
posing, by sudden collision, was almost in
stantly engulfed
These appalling calamities, constituting an
unprecedented aggregate of suffering and an
gush, occurring almost simultaneously, cast a
deep shade of sadness over the land.-.4bany

PIGEoNs-We do not Iecolcct the season
when pigeons have appeared in greater numbers
than in this. The other morning we watched
from our door, for about an hour, the rapidly sue
ceedng focks that flew over us and estimated
that the number could not have been less than
ten thousand. Their roosts and resting places
in this county, appear to be in the mtuutains Of
Fayston, where they are slain in great numbers
by sportsmen from this village. One of them,
who makes other sharp things besides sharp
shots, few days since, brought down, in less
than two hours, thirty-elght, with single rifle
balls, and what is more, nearly all of them were
shot through the head. An unusual abundance
of pigeons is said, by our old folks, to be a sign
of sickness, Bat as this has been rather dry
spring, we trust the sign will fail this season.
