CLEVELAND, July !

VLEVkLAND, JuIy D.
Yesterday evening, as a procession of
fremen, turner's and others were parading
the streets, difficulty arose between one
of the turner's and boy, when an alarm
was given by the turner's, and they rushed
back, assaulting and throwing stones at
people in the streets, and the riot became
general. The turner's, being armed with
revolvers, commenced firing. About twelve
shots were fred, and one young man was
shot and died in about an hour Many
others were badly injured by shots and
stones, but not fatally it is believed The
police have arrested "a turner's. Public
opinion is decidedly against the conduct Of
the turners,as there was no excuse for their
conduct. a[

Nineteen cases of sunstroke, limp cravats,
sweltering streets, full of moist, unpleasant

painting for air, are not the worst of it, for by

which during the temperate days lie perdu, then
goading them to all manner of elfsh pranks
So we have lovers dying in each others arms,
and their corpses strewed with flowers by the
hands of Brooklyn's fair daughters, and a Rev.

of the suicide in their mutual great love. The

"feverish and did quake" down at Baltimore,
as, per telegraph, and indeed such budgets of
horrible and unwonted events come pouring in
since the first period of hot weather began,
that the so long vexed question why the Span

hot weather no doubt, Robert Schuyler, the
arch-swindler has turned up, and letter of
his written without date was published in yes
