CITY ITEMS.

from the perspiring exhaustion of the day. But the
pleasant country places where sun.dried NEWCOMERS
love to resort have lost their charms. The green
sward is now baked and brown, the trees and bushes
are wilted, and yield no their grateful shade
the graceful waving corn is shrunken and shriyeled,
and everything looks dead dying for lack Of the
rain that will not come.
If the drou,h continues much longer, the market
gardeners of this vicinity will be great losers, for all
vegetation going backward rather than forward
and the farmers, too, viii feel the pinch upon their
crops severely. Here in this city, where the Croton
might be brought into requston the shrubbery of the
psrksis dropping and dying. If something is not done
for soon, the Superintendent of Lands and Places
will have plenty of frewood for his friends

are continually presented here.
HEEsAS, THE HlTTIrB.-The movements of this
distinguished gentleman though regarded with great
degree of interest by large numbers of his personal
friends and the public generally are in themseivesnot
particularly heroic, being in fact quite as common
place as those of any other quiet ctzon, who is dis
posed 10 mind his own business and who hopes that
his neighbors will kindly do the same. He has de-
molished no one, quarreed with one, fought no
lad cd bod
mouth, tweaked mob ,dy nose, and punched nobodys
head His peaceabe and modest demeanor has rather
astonished many, who had get it down as foregone
conclusion that instantly upon bis arrival he wouli
take up arms againft a sea Of enemies, commence
grand crusade against his detrsctors, and naugurate
war of determination against Morrissey and the Nor
rssey ites, their khh and KIM friends, aders and
abestors to the last cousin fifteen degrees removed
On the contrary Heenan keeps perfectly COOL drinks
no rum and makes no threats against anybody. While
anxious to renew the Long Point argument with
Morrissey, though exceedingly DESTROYS Of meeting
that individual in tie ring again, quietly awaits
challenge In case Morrissey dOss not t to send
such me.sage, it is probable that there will be no
fight AS Heenan does not feel disposed to send cha
kpge In proof Of the ofassered fact that the great
proportion Of far-deang Englshmen unite in award
ing Heenan the victory in the Farnboro' fight, we
mention that az THanys is to be seen beautiful
silver vase, presented to Heenan by number of En-
Clish gentlemen. The inscription it runs az follows:
John C. KEENAN,,
CHAMPION The WORLD
On the other side 10 nsraved:
TIT. cup presented by few Englshmen. fr.qcensrs Of
Mr. Prebass Anehor and hGPs1 s.5Pnsy ~
Heenan himself expresses no doubt as TO his getting
the belt that was presented to him, and which Is now
In the hands of the maker An erroneous report has
been spread that this belt paid for, bat the
facts of the case seem TO DO these stated by Mr.
Hancock the manufacturer of the two belts for uee-
nan and Savers In reference 10 the report that the
belts had not been paid for he writes to the editor Of
The Morning Adrertiser, requesting him TO immedi
atey and autboriativey TO contradict report 80 pre-
judicial to Albion. He says that his bill for the two
bets was promptly paid on the 2st OF June last, aud
that he has had no control them since the 20h OF
May the date of their presentation az the ALEXANDRIA
According Mr.. Hancocks story the belts were re-
turned TO him simply 70 be Hall marked" and TO re-
ceive last finish, which could not be given 10 them
in the little time allowed for their msnufa ture. In
Gaze OF another fight between Heenan and Morrissey,
it will come of at point far South, where both
viii be among strangers, and where the great
crowd of roughs will be unable to 60 on account OF
the expenee. Florida has been named rs the most
likely spot, but enthusiastic CubADs have sag-
eested ths, the combat take place m the smPhitheater
for bull-fghting, ~ Havana. This ncosure will hold
several thousand people, and o. u sasy be hled cay
the Cuhsns, with enthusiastic audience who would
pay ounce t$l6 for the best places, and half an
Ss for the other places. II is asserted that the
GovenorGenersl would not refuse his consent TO this
| arrangement. In this case, both the conqucror and
conquered might retire from the ring with handsome
| competence.
