The sum appropriated for prosecuting the land
surveys in California, for the year ending the Both
of June last, has been exceeded by about Sl75,-
900. In consequence of this deficiency, the ac-
counts of the deputy surveyors have been sus-
pended. The liabilities will lie over till Congress
provides the means for their liquidation. The
Secretary of the Interior has decided that the
surveys must be continued, and that one hundred
thousand dollars for the fiscal year ending June,
1858, be used only for that period, and not to
discharge previous liabilities.
Major Parke G. Howle of the Marine Corps
died today.
Robert Cross, another of the election rioters,
was today found guilty Of attempting to kill the
policeman who arrested him, and sentenced to
eight years in the Penitentiary-the utmost ex-
tent of the law.

LOCAL NEWS

The HEATED TERN" is upon us, and the
crops Of all descriptions are making up for the
time lost during the cold and unusually wet and
backward Spring. The farmers are late with
their haying, but the crop of grass is heavier
than has been realized for many years. Of course
the price of hay has receded, and contracts can
now be made for immediate delivery. or at any
time between this and another harvest, as low as
twelve dollars ton, while grass uncut and
standing may be purchased at six dollars ton.
by estimate of its weight when made into hay
The high price of beef has induced many farm
ers to save their young stock, the produce of the
present season, from the hands of the butcher,
and as the pastuTage has been good throughout
the whole country, we may safely conclude that
another year will witness the commencement of
return to the good old times when it took less
than the price of days work to purchase a
dinner.
The last week Of uniform hot weather has
wrought wonders upon the corn crop, and it is
now looking as well in all respects, save in
height, as in ordinary seasoDS
The high prices which potsa8s commanded the
past season, has induced very large planting,
and this important crop never looked better in
this section of the country than at the present
time. OF course it is too early to predict what
the harvest will produce, but the indications for
an abundant yield of every good thing that
grows, were never more encouraging that at the
present time.

DEATH FROM HYDRoPHoBIA. About the
LIST of June, Mr.. Jacob S. Willets, of Bay
side, near Flushing, Long Island. son of
Mr.. Samuel Willets, the prominent Quaker
banker aud merchant of this city, was bitten
by strange dog which came into his door
yard, and which he was attempting to drive
out. The dog was killed soon after, and al
though we do not learn that he manifested
any unequivocal symptoms of hydrophobia,
Mr.. Willets and his family naturally felt
good deal of uneasiness. The wound was
cauterized, and otherwise medically treated,
and no further i'll effects manifested them
selves until Saturday last, when Mr.. Willets
was seized with hydrophobia in its most VIC.
lent form, of which he died on Sunday after
noon. Mr.. Willets was about forty years of
age, a most energetic and successful farmer,
aud highly esteemed by all who enjoyed his
acq uaintance. He leaves widow and four
young children. The wound entirely healed,
and it was believed that nothing serious
would result. The first symptoms of hydro
phoba were manifested on Saturday, when
he drank glass OF water, and experienced at
the time spasmodic sensation. -Ees0 York
