THE PLAGUE AT NoRFoLK.-There 10 no abate-
ment of the yellow plague in tho doomed and
desolated city Of Norfolk and the adjoining town
of Portsmouth. Last Thursday there were for
ty deaths in that city, twenty-eight on Friday,
and thirty up to 10 o'clock, A. NJ. on Satur-
day. In Portsmouth, out of twenty-five hun
dred Inhabitants, two thousand are represented
~ sick and dying! The prospects Of those
absolutely appalling
esAT RoBBERY.--A box containing $4,000
nj gold coin was last week put on board the ex-
press at Dubuque, Iowa, tor the sub Treasury
at New York, and when opened, on it's arrival
at that city, last Saturday, it was found that
the gold has been distracted, and the box filled
with bullets. No clue to the place or persons
connected with this wholesale robbery has been
discovered.
The PorAroE CRor, though in many places in
this section half destroyed by the rot and rust,
will yet, as general thing, be far more abun-
dant than was anticipated three or four weeks
ago; while in the surrounding States, the rot
we understand, has done but little injury. Po-
tatoes in the lake towns in Northern New York,
are selling at eighteen cents per bushel We
are gratfed to find it is no worse with this crop,
for its loss would form the only exception to
crops OF this year of overdowing abundance.
Qua COUNTY CoURr, the excellent Judge Po-
land presiding, assisted, in reality, by our intel.
llgent County Judges, Chamberlin and Jones,
has been in session in this place two weeks, and
can, as yet, we understand, hardly s,e the end
of the business which has been laid out for
them.
To Our PATRoNs.--0ur subscribers have nev-
er before been so remiss in paying their current
years subscriptions as this year. Here we are,
on the last third of the year, and yet not one
half Of the amount due US on this years SUBJ
scriptions has boen paid. This is as discourage
ing as it is unjust and We trust no subscriber
will fail to avail himself of the safe opportuni-
ty that will soon be afforded at the meeting of
the approaching Legislature, of sending our
dues by the members. We speak thus early
that oil owing Us may DO preparing themselves
to make their remittances.
