OTTAWA, Aug. 8.
Wheat in anticipation of the heavy crop
now being harvested, is declining. Corn,
however, keeps up, owing to the continued
demand at the seaport, where the supply is
still short. The farmers are still busy har-
vcsting, so that little produce comes in.

The WEATHER.-The mean temperature
for last month was 1920, which is SO"
uarmer than the same month last year. The
amount Of rain was 500 inches, against
2.616 in 1856. May, June and July, the
present year, gives mean temperature of
65.s2s against 7o.35s for the same tins last
year. 1t will thus be seen that the present
season is not only somewhat cooler than last
year, but is also wetter one. These figures
we obtain from Dr. Harris records, which
only give go as a maximum for the present
season.

MAP OF OTTAwA.-The new map Of OF
tawa, about being prepared by Messrs. Do
RAN Il MAHER, We are informed, is so far
completed, that persons wishing new addi-
tons or their residences noted, &c, must
attend to it at once. The enterprise will in
volve heavy expense, and unless the list
of subscribers is considerably increased will
prove but poorly remunerative. We hope
our citizens will not lag behind in their SUBJ
scriptions.

THE HURST RoBBERY.-Our amiable friend
Hewlett, Of the Peru Sentinel, shows his
kindne of heart more than good judgment
in taking up the cudgel in favor of Sheriff
Waterman, in the affair Of the Hurst rob-
berry That Mr.. w. is pursued with malig
nifty by "a clique of his own party we are
neither prepared to verify or dispute; but
assuming such to be the fact, while we can
easily understand how naturally friend Hew-
lett would fly to the rescue Of one so I'M
be classed with I" . few pretended democrats"
who join this republican clique in their IN
Just assault upon the Sheriff, because we
happened to censure his carelessness in al.
lowing the robbers of poor emigrant to
escape. Friend Hewlett allows his sympathy
in one direction to do gross injustice in
another. We have no particular friendship
for either the old abolition wing Ito which
the Sheriff belongs,) or for the +. y. old
wing branch of the republican party. They
are all enemies Of the democratic party to-
gether, and whether an officer belongs to
the one or the other, or even to the demo
cratic party, we shall not shrink from our
duty to censure his want Of fidelity to his
trust, when ever we think such censure de-
served. We may agree entirely with friend
H., when he says, From our personal &C
quaintance with Mr.. Waterman, we believe
him to be an honorable and an honest man,
despite his mistaken politics; and we knO,'
him to be gentleman" and yet we cannot
gloss over the fact, that if our Sheriff had
been half as anxious to do his duty rs he
appears to have been to save few dollars,
ne might now have lodged in our Jail, await
ing their shipment to Alton, brace of as
consummate scoundrels as ever went I'm
