The LATE RAIN SToRM-DEATH BY LIGHTNING
The rain which commenced to fall in showers on
Sunday night continued to fall heavy at intervals
throughout Monday until the evening, when it
settled into steady fall, which continued until
early hour Yesterday morning.
The month past will be remembered as a season
of anxiety, dread, and suffering-of ruined crops
| and parched felds-of diminished harves is and OBJ
structed river navigation. Accordingly, there
were universal and unusual expressions of gratii-
cation indulged by all the lowering cl ouds

many places were surcharged as to burst and

MAN DRowNED-Suspicions against Young
| Womdn.-For about two months past, Mary Given,
a very pretty looking girl, has been living in the
4 capacity of domestic with family at Rye, West
chester county. Archibald Nichols, dissipated
boatman of that town, became enamored with Mary
and proposed marriage to her. She rejected his
suit in consequence of his Incorporate habits, and
besides her friends objected to the match, also did
the relatives of Nichols, who wished to effect
reformation in his character. On the 9th inst,
Mary went out on the Sound in a small boat with
Jacob Chatham, another suitor of hers. This step
excited the jealousy of Nichols, who procured
skiff and went in pursuit of the object of his afec
tions; but, strange to say, he returned, and
was no more seen alive. Mary having left her
place of service, returned to her mother in this
city, after the pleasure excursion The
friends of the missing man, believing that she had
some guilty knowledge of Nichols mysterious dis
appearance, followed her to New York the follow
ing day and had her arrested. She will be

FTGHr BETWEEN THE INDIANS AND THE LANDERs'
! WAGON ROAD PARTY-Private letters received in
ney LaEa nv wagon eve ae
counts of an engagement with the fah2utes Indians
on the I'D OF June five days march eastward from
Honey Lake Valley. Landers party was attacked
by Indians in ambush, and a young man named
Painter mortally wounded at the first fire. He
died next morning. The Indians were pursued into
the mountains, but returned next day to the
Der of three hundred, and renewed the attack,
which was continued about five hours, when the
Indians were routed and pursued-several being
killed and one made prisoner. Among the killed
was chief called Big Jim. The Indians continued
to retreat during the night, and were followed two
days by Landers without coming to an engage
ment His provisions now began to grow short,
and Col. Lander was obliged to return to Honey
Lake. After recruiting few days his party will
commence operations the wagon road which
they expect to complete in sixty days. Landers
had seyentythree with him in the fight, chiefly
armed with Sharp's rifles and revolvers.
DIRECT TRADE WITH EuRopE.-We learn that
Mayor Baugh yesterday received letter from
Joseph Barbiere, dated Brussels, July A. announ-
cling that he has received pledge from the Direct
Trading Association of that CITY, that they will
make Memphis the point for grand fair in 1860.
1t seems that they had previously pledged them
selves to Macon, Ga, for this year, and after that
pledge is fulfilled, they will make their next ship
ment to Memphis, which will be in the spring of
1861 or at latest the fall of that year. The letter
also announces that Marseilles, France, is anxious
to form similar connection-that Messrs. Martin
& Cavagna are preparing to ship cargo off "di-
rect to Memphis" of brandies, wines, oils olives,
and fancy French goods or groceries, in vessel
via New Orleans-the cargo to value 100000, upon
which they desire an advance of so per cent, and
will guarantee similar advance on return ship
ment of cotton.-Memphis Enquirer.

Monday euening
steamer Eastern City on her last trip to ST. John ran
into ''school'' of whales, hump-back species, five
in number, off Cape Ann. The monsters were en-
joying the mating season and the steamer struck
the bull of the herd, sixty feet long, with such
force that portion of her cutwater was displaced.
A few minutes after another whale was seen coming
towards the vessel at great speed, and it was ex-
pected that the creature would attack the steamer,
but at about two lengths distance it suddenly "dove
and disappeared. On Thursday morning, the
boat was on her return trip this side of Portland,
between Boon Island and Cape Elizabeth, she came
near running upon another whale, but the creature
''made dive at distance of about ten feet from
the vessel
SUPPLIES OF "JEsUITs' BARK" FAILING.-A gentle
man, long resident in South America, states that
there is danger that the supply of Peruvian bark
and the sulphate of Quinia obtained from it may
soon be exhausted. The cinchona, the tree which
yields the bark, grows at great height on the
slopes of the Andes, in various localities, from
Bolivia to New Granada In the latter country, it
and the two best varieties have hitherto been those
of Pitayo and Fanagamga, two New Grauadian
alpine districts. But these already exhausted,
and both in this country and England another and
poorer kind, known as Almaguer bark, which was
at first totally unsaleable, is used to a very
great extent
