The Hot Weather.

The heated term" for the last two or three
weeks, has been almost intolerable. We have
kept no record Of the movements Of the mercury,
but they have invariably held high. The days
have been sweltering and the nights little better.
And it is a noticeable fact that this period Of ex.
treme hea, was felt at widely separated points.
At New Haven, the editor Of the Journal states
that 20 one has any personal recollection of any
thing ike such hot spell as we have had for the
past fifteen days; and on Monday the mercury
stood in that city at 9s deg. On Saturday, in
Montreal, the thermometer indicated 90 deg
and the same day it stood at 92 deg in Saratoga
90 deg. in Albany, and "a deg. in New York !
and it has been as high as 100 deg. ia the latter
city. There we're over 100 deaths in New York
and Boston, by sun.stroke, the first week in Au.

THE ELECTION IN THE THIRD Missouri Dis
TRIcT.-The St. Loui, Democrat of last Saturday
says: ....4..
"The race in this district between Lindsay
and Scott promises 10 be very close. Lindsay
makes much better run than we anticipated
would be the case after the Clsybsnk bolt, and
the bringing out Of Bogy as candidate. The
candidates we're Scott, secessionist, Lindsay, un.
conditional Union and radical emancipation, and
Bogy, Claybans and Gsmbleite, running on the
Convention Ordinance platform. Bcgy va,
brought out late in the canvass. and for the sole
purpose OF taking away votes from and defeating
Lindsay. ln this object the authors OF the
movement may be ,uccemiul, as it is very ev.
dent that but for this movement Lindsay would
have been handsomely elected. As it is, whether
elected or not, the splendid vote be has obtained
in the distcic, containing very large secession
element, and where two years ago he was unable
to reside from danger to his life, shows the most
gratifying progress in public sentiment"

A MAGICIAN AMONG THE BARBERs--A Coon
JoKE.-A good looking gentleman, with some
thing of the elegant appearance in which the
character Of Satan is clothed upon the stage
went into Marsh's Shaving Saloon in the Arcade
last evening, and took chair to be manipulated
upon By knight of the razor, The Journey
man barber performed the operation to the best
of his ability and the gentleman arose from the
chair. Standing before a mirror, he called the
proprietor, and the following colloquy ensued:
"Sr, believe am in your debt for shave,
but allow me to inquire il you think have been
fairly operated upon.
AS be said this he turned the side of his face
to Mr.. Marsh and there appeared to be beard
of weeks growth.
Mr.. NJ. replied, " Certainly not, and turn
ing to the Journeyman who had performed
the operation said q did you shave this gen.
tleman !"
The barber replyed "yes sir "
Mr.. NJ. responded rather sharply, " Have the
goodness to look at his face. F" -
The barber looked and appeared puzzled
perplexed--and declared resolutsiy that be shaved
the gentleman, but his looks indicated that he
was IN doubt.
{" Then be so good as to shave him agaia,"
said the proprietor, imperatively.
The second shave was commenced, the barber
mutterlng that the beard was longer than it was
the first time he shaved him, but minute before
This brought out laugh from the customers
in the soooD, who had been attracted by what
had just happened. A second shave was execu-
ted but before the time for the third arrived,
gentleman who was present discovered the name
OF Prot King in "a hat on the table, and laugh
ing, exclaimed, I" there is a magician in the
shop" And 80 it appeared. The gentleman
was Prof. King, the celebrated magician and
ventriloquist. lie was in the city few hours
on business and took the opportunity to play
this joke on the barber. The trick was new
one, and how it was performed wc do not know
any more than the barbera-Rochester Union.

The VALUE OF SLAVES IN SOUTHERN KENTUCKY.
The Nashville Union says
We have conversed recently with several
large shareholders from Southern Kentucky
They soy that tho decline in the price Of slaves
is from thirty to fifty per cent the average de-
cline being near the latter, figure. The price Of
a slave depends almost wholly on his personal
situation and feelings. A steady slave who has
wife on or near his owner 8 farm is considered
valuable in his neghborhood. But slaves
brought from a distance, or young men and
women who have no domestic ties TO bind them,
or slaves who have ever manifested disposition
to run Of, will not bring any price at all. They
are considered as intangible as the wind. A
man would as soon think of investing his money
in a contingent interest in dock ofwild pigeons,
or q school of herring swimming in mid ocean, ,
as to invest i, in such fugacious children OF

The Fishers 8 Song.

The Fishers Song.
Down In the wide, gray river
The current is sweeping strong
Over the wide, gray river
Floats the fsherman's song.
Tho oar stroke times the singing,
rhe song fallswsh the oar,
AMI an echo in both is ringing,
thought to hear no more.
Out Of deeper current
The song bring backs to me
4 cry from msrtal silence,
OF mortal agony.
Life that was spent and vanlsh'd,
Love that had died Of wrong,
Hears that are dead In living,
Come back in the lsherman's song
see the naples leafing
just az they leard before
Tle green Rrats comes no greener
Down to the very shore
with the rude strain swelling, sinking,
In the cadence Of dals gone by,
AS the oar, from the water drinking,
Rlpplss the mirror'd sky.
Yetihe soul hath life diylner,
It's past returns no more,
But Ia echoes that answer the minor
OF the bost-song from the shore.
And the ways Of God ara darkness,
His Judgment waiIeih long,
lle breaks tbs heart Of woman
with hshermAn's oarsles, song.

terry.

The two great armies In Virginia under
Meade and Lee, after days Of marching and
couutermarching, with the hope Of outhank.
ing each other, have found a field and are
arrayed against each other face to face. The
lighting yesterday, during most Of the day,
was between cavalry and artillery, very little
infantry being engaged.
Lees strategy to outHank Meade, yesterday,
was most successfully defeated. Yesterday af-
ternoou brilliant engagement took place be-
tween a portion of the cavalry and artillery
/, forces of the two armies, which resulted In re.
pulsing the enemy, killing and wounding a
large number Of rebels, and the capture Of one
entire rebel battery.
This morning finds Gen. Meade still master Of
the situation, notwithstanding Lee attempted
in the night to get between the Army Of the
Potomac and this capital.
otwithstanding the situation of the two ar
mics is the common conversation in the hotels
aud on the street, there is very little excitement
in the city, and no anxiety whatever is mani
tested about the result.
