Bayard Taylor has received an invitation to
deliver a series of lectures in San Francisco,
during the approaching season, upon his own
terms, (s5O00) for three months. Mrs. Taylor
accompanies him during his absence. The
trip was not expected, as the price was fixed at
a rate which any reasonable committee would
have felt compelled to decline.
The residents of Jefferson avenue, Detroit,
were much amused at the GOODNESS of party
of mourners who followed the remains of some
departed relative or friend to the grave, the
other day. They were seated in wagon, in
the most cozy and sociable attitudes, with a
huge watermelon reposing in the midst, from
which each carved and ate with gusto pecu-
liar to the occasion, the rinds strewing the
road on each side, and marking the course
down the avenue as far as could be seen.

SLIGHT RELIEF.-The farmers were graft
fed, Wednesday evening, by the prospect of
continued rain, which would partially atone
for the long drought, and its disastrous effect
upon the crops. In this vicinity, the rain was
not very satisfactory till Thursday morning,
when it fell in a continuous and refreshing
shower till afternoon. The roads were for a
few hours fringed with running streams, and
the brown and dusty fields were thoroughly
cleansed and invigorated. 1t cleared off"
about three O'Clock, and there is now every
prospect of fair weather for some time. The
crops have already seriously suffered on ac-
count of the unusual dryness of the season,
many wells are wholly or nearly dry, and the
streams in many places, have fallen so low as
to be nearly useless for manufacturing pur-
poses We sincerely hope that the departure
of dog days, which have not been at all pro-
pitious, except in their departure, is the sign
of better time coming.

TwENTY-ONE SLAVES MANUMIrrED.-The
canal packet "John B. Bortle," lying in the
river above Broad street bridge, has on board
twenty-one slaves, men and women, manumit-
ted by the will of their late owner, Pleasant
Burnet, of Mecklenburg county, Virginia.
They are likely looking men and women, and
with one execution. look forward with delight
for them. They are under the charge of Rob
ert M. Hutchinson and Charles S. Hutchinson,
who have selected lands in Hardin county,
near Kenton, for their location, and for which
they will take the train on the C. p and Ind.
Railroad this morning. The testator, Mr. Bur-
net, did not free all his slaves only selecting
those who had been faithful, and were deemed
competent to take care for themselves Good
lands have been selected for the negroes to
settle upon, in accordance with the provisions
of the will, and they will be furnished with all
the necessary tools and implements to COM
mence operations. God grant them success in
their free homes.-Ohio State Journal, dug. II.

The School DISTRICT SYsrEM.-At the
session of the American Institute of Instruc-
ton in New Bedford, on Wednesday last, the
recent legislation in regard to school districts,
was made the subject of animated discussion.
Anson Smythe, School Commissioner of Ohio,
said law had been in operation in that State
Tor SIX years, by which the school district
system was abolished, and the control of the
schools given, in all respects, to townships and
villages James b. Congdon of New Bed

THE FIRE IN NEW BEDFoRD-The de-
brief account was given yesterday, broke out
at a time when the citizens were participating
in the festivities with which they have been
favored the present week. Many among the
losers were poorly able to bear their losses.
About eight thousand barrels of oil were de-
stroyed, AMI the aggregate loss was not less
than 100000, of which about $4,000 was in
sured. Vast quantities of oil were left float
ing in the harbor, which variety OF thieves
were busy in bailing up. The police were
cautious enough to detect some of them, while
others escaped altogether.

CURIOUS FREAK OF A CHILD, AND S1NGU-
LAR PUNIsHMENT.-A lad about six years of
age, son of a saloon proprietor in the eastern
part of the city, took it into his head few
days since to appropriate valuable gold
watch belonging to his father, and walking
away some distance with the property, placed
it upon large stone, hammered it to pieces,
and divided portions of the interior among sew
eral children in the neighborhood. The pa
rents soon discovered the theft, and succeeded
in collecting nearly all the pieces of the time
piece, except the cases and chain, which are
still missing. The mode of punishment said
to be adopted by the parents is unusually cru
ell. A chain was tied around the legs of the
child, near the feet, and he was placed in a
close room in an upper story of the house, I'M
able to extricate himself, but bearing his I'M
conscious punishment meanwhile in apparent
good humor. The child, it is believed, still
remains thus confned.-Ne,oark Journal, 23d.

ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.-The inmates of
the house of Mr. S. r. Leland. on Front street
were alarmed, early Thursday morning, by
the sound of breaking glass, and the retreat of
mischievous footsteps. One of the ladies sue
ceeded in attracting the attention of the police,
who, after much tribulation, captured an old
offender in the vicinity of East Worcester.
He succeeded, however, in covering his tracks
well enough to disappont the ends of justice,
and was discharged. The rogues had already
broken the windows, and disturbed the goods
in the store, which might have suffered but for
the timely interference of those who were
somewhat interested in their preservation.
