THALBERG's FLlGHT.-It will be remembered
that Thaberg, some weeks since, was suddenly
seized with strong desire to 60 East, and di-
verse advertised concerts were indefinitely
postponed on account of "indisposition on
the part of the pianist--to fulfil his engage
ments. Madame Rumor, with her thousand
tongues, was busy. and hints were thrown out
of iason, jealous wife, an enraged mistress,
and-but the tale of scandal is well known.
The Boston Ledger has the following descrip
tion of the fnal act in the drama =
Yesterday afternoon the very curious inves
tigator of passing things might have seen di
lapidated cab ca'eering down Commercial ST.,
as fast as TWO very sorry nags could draw it,
and within said cab, remarkably rustic look
ing individual, dressed in a suit of Canada
grey, a pair of cow-hide booots and shocking
bad hat-in all respects looking unlike a
great man as disguise could make him. That
individual was the ilustrious Thalbers-the pet
of the upper-crust, the hon of our local toady-
ism few months ago.
Crouching in a corner of the decayed cab,
Mons. Panohumper Primus reached the royal
mail steamship wharf, and sneaked on board as
if he had been in danger Of being apprehended
for robbing the mail coach-he having one of
the wheels in his pocket. But just as he got
fairly on board, he was met full front by bro.
ther professional, and others who knew him,
and was recognized. Begging them for Hea-
ven's sake not to mention the fact Of his being
on board, the mighty Thaberg dived into a
second class berth, and is now on the way to
England under the name OF John Smith or
Peter Jones-ior the list OF passengers shows

cB new administration paper called the
Herald has just been started At Chicago. Chas.
n Pine is editor. The following is extracted
from the editors opening address:
A man whom the Democracy Of Illinois for
merly delighted to honor and confde in-whom
Democrats learned TO idolize-has proved false
to the trust which they reposed in him. But,
blinded by their deep-seated admiration Of the
man, deluded by his fair words and ingenious
sopbistry, and imposed upon by his leading or
gan here, and its numerous echoes throughout
the State, many honest Democrats still cling to
the skirts of Douglas, unmindlul Of the fact
which must be apparent 70 all cool and candid
observers, and which, ere long, will be appar :
ent to every body, that he is OF all men in the
Union, the most dangerous foe to tho Demo-
cratic party. 1t 10 Tor the purpose Of Fastening
that thorough revelation OF the motives Of Mr..
Douglas, and the destructive tendencies OF bis
present and intended future course, as well as
for the purpose Of defending the Administration
and the Democratic party against the attacks Of
all their other enemies, that this paper has been
sstAblishsd.

Last Tuesday, the 18th ult., boy 10 years
Of age, named Silas Jackson, step son Of R. J.
Henderson, residing half mile south of this,
whilst at work in the harvest field, was bitten
in the foot by rattesnake, the fangs entering
the artery just above the hollow of the foot
His cries brought those near him, to his assist
ance, who, after they had killed the snake.
shouldered the poor fellow who had by this
time (two or three minutes) sunk helpless to the
ground, to carry him home, some 500 or 600
yards distant They we're met half way by his
father and uncle, who had witnessed the whole
transaction from the house. About Is minutes
elapsed from the time he was bitten until rem
edies could be applied. Every available means
were used to save hs life but without effect,
until death finally made an end of his sufferings,
which happened about four hours alter he was
bitten.
No part of his body was swelled in the least
excepting his face, several sight wounds in
which began to bleed freely before he died
His suffering was distressing to behold, scream
ing, writhng, coiling himself, and Kissing at
those who attended him. and entirely insensible
from within less than Eve minutes after he was
bitten until death.
Considerable inquiry, together with my own
observation, leads me to the conclusion that
the wheat and oats crops will almost be a total
failure, the disease being rust. There is, how.
ever, considerable Of last years wheat crop left,
which together with the buckwhest, OF which
considerable has been put in, will bread our
country another year.
OF corn very little has been planted, and that
little is badly choked with weeds, and should
the season be favorable one will probably
bring half crop.
