TIE Posr.OFFIcE FRAUDS. = In mentioning the
arrest of Michael Hertz few days since, we stated
as we were informed that Of the drafts taken by
him out of one of the frauduenty obtained letters,
was presented and cashed at the Citizens Bank. We
are requested to state that this is mistake Neither
Of the drafts was ever presented at the Citizens
| Bank.
BAD.-A man. wild with yellow fever, got out of
| his room on Camp street yesterday afternoon and
created a great excitement. Making all sorts Of
dreadful noises, he ran into milliners shop scared
the women almost into fits, and then, running out
again, entered the Bible House, where he succumbed
to his sickness and vomited all around. He was
then secured, placed in a carriage, and sent to
Charity Hospital, probably to die. We did not hear
his name.
BUGs.-One Of those flights Of insects which the
moist changes of this climate produce so pentifully
in the warm season. was our affection last night.
Swarms of little black bugs, looking like cross be-
tween mosquitoes and house-fies besieged our gas
lights, and blinded our eyes and blotched our fresh
writing in the most distressing manner. The nh-
sance lasted about an hour and half and then the
bugs were no more. Where they came from, or
where those Of them which did get singed in the
gas went to- we are unable to state Weare no ento.
mologi5t, or hugfancier nor do we ever wish to be-
after receiving such buggy visitation as that of last
night
