DESCENT ON THEATRE IN New YoRK-We brief
y noticed in our paper of yesterday that the mana

two reporters OF the press in efhgy. The straw

any outrage upon the press by his exhibition

RENcoNrRE IN CuMBERLAND.-On Sunday last, as
Doctor Rhinehart was coming from, and Mr.. An

were going to church, the parties met on Green
street; Doctor Rhinehart giving the way to Mr.
Cam and his family, and before being aware of any

Two State Conventions are called in sirginia
both to meet the 10th day of August-one at
Staunton, by the friends of Douglas and johnson,
and the other at Charlottesville bv the friends Of
Breckinridge and Lane, the object of both being
to appoint electoral tickets. The Richmond En-
qu'rer strongly urges compromise and union be-
tween the parties, and tacitly admits that the
friends OF Douglas are sufficiently numerous to
make the carrying of the State by Bell and Everett
an easy matter. The Enquirer also contains an
elaborate argument from one of the delegates to
the Charleston and Baltimore Conventions, Mr..
Hoge, from the twelfth electoral district in favor
OF Douglas, and the indications are that Douglas
| will divide the vote of that State with Breckin-
ridge.

THE DOC CRsAR.-Why do old dogs bark and
! howl so much more than young ones? The ven
erable Caesar, at Idlewild-the only surviving
| Newfoundlander of the Kane Arctic Expedition
| seems more and more to delight only in noise-
Lame, wheezy and half blind, he sleeps under the
trees most of the day, but at night seems unhappy
| that the world is so still. The old ears ache for
more clamor. His celebrity alone keeps him from
! being removed as a nuisance, but the continual
howng has at least resulted in the infiiction of a
new name upon the old Arctic voyager. He is dis
paragingly known in the family at present by the
sobriquet of ga Roarer Borealis. .'-Home Journal.
