a Venerable Prison Bird.-Eleven
convicts were brought before the court, at
Boston, on Monday. from the State pris-
on, as 'ssecond' or s'third comers'' and as
such, liable to additional punishment, un-
der peculiar law of that State. The
Oldest was Henry Wood, aged rs, who
has passed thirty-eight out of the last forty
years in the State prison, under repeated
sentences. His earlier convictions were
for burglary and store breaking, commen-
cling in 1910. His last sentence was for
felonious assault, with intent, &C., upon
his slster-in- law, his fathers daughter by
a second wife. He told the court, on
Monday, that he thought the State had
about enough of his time, but he was now
so old, that it did not matter much where
he passed the remainder of his days. Six
months additional was then awarded 10

ARRIVAL OF THE SARANAC.
Authentic News from Cuba.
WASHINGTON, June ID

w WASHINGToN, June IL.
The U. S. steamer Saranac, Captain
TatnaN, from Havana, 9th instant, reached
the naval anchorage at Norfolk yesterday
morning.
Capt. Tatnall arrived here this morning
with important dispatches from the Gov
ernment. e.
Capt. Yatnall represents all quiet when
he left.
For the following intelligence | am in
deSted to a slip from the Norfolk Herald
office.
The Saranac arrived at Havana on
Thursday evening 23d ult., and lay off at
Moro Castle until the next morning, when
Capt. Randolph of the U. S. corvette AL
bany, went on board and reported that a
Spanish man-of-war had captured two
American vessels at the Island OF Contoy,
on the coast of Yucatan; that he had in an
interview with the Captain General de-
nended that they should be given up, and
on the refusal of the Captain General to
do so, had declared his intention of re-
capturing them.
The Saranac went into Havana about o
o'clock on the morning of the 24th, and
CAPTAIN Tatnall had an interview with the
CAPTAIN General, in which he Informed
that functionarv that if he met with Amer
lean vessels, prizes to Spanish man Of
war, he should require satisfactory ac-
count of the reasons of their capture, and,
if refused, he should re-capture such yes
sells; but if he was satisfied that they formed
a portion of the invading expedition he
should not seek them.
- tbar q cd oh
satisfaction, at the course Of our Govern
ment.
About three hours after Saranac anch-
ored in Havana Spanish brig of war
came in with the prisoners, but not the
prizes; which latter were supposed to have
been ordered to some other port tosavoid
collision.
On the following day, the 25th, the Sa-
ranac got under weigh for Key West. Ia
king two corvottes (Albany and German
town,) with her. On their arrival they
found the inhabitants of Key West had
been in some alarm In consequence of SO
large number of men having been landed
there from the Creole, over which the civil
authorities have no control. They had,
however, conducted themselves, peaceably
and orderly.
The Saranac remained two days at Key
West, and again proceeded to Havana, ia
king as passengers, Judge Marvin and
Judge Douglas, (the latter Collector at Key
West.) These gentlemen with Captain
Tatnall, OF the Saranac, called on the Cap
tain General, and stated to him their rea-
sons for believing that the men captured
at Convoy had abandoned the expedition.
In reply, they were informed that dis
JUNCTION had been made between these men
and those who landed at Cardenas; that the
former were we'll treated and would have
fair trial and every opportunity to prove
their innocence. No one was permitted
to visit them-a rule that applies equally
10 Spanish subjects. The interview was
altogether satisfactory.

the exception Of few days, we have been
in the enjoyment of one of the finest Of In.
dian Summers. Tie corn-growers atthis

vesting their abundant crops. 1t does one
good to see the golden ears-rich products
of our teeming soil. wheeled out Of the
fields, load after load, heavy with healthful
nutriment for man and beast. On sever.
al hundred acres Of land belonging TO the
New York Company, the yield this year
viii average full one hundred bushels to
the acre. The corn crop suffered less
near this place, from The late spring, than
almost any where else, and the long hot
summer brought it forward with astonish.
ing rapidity. On Thursday last dull
cold rain set in, but the skies became bright
again yesterday with promise Of further
continuation Of Indian Summer.
