REMARKABLE WEATHER.-Mr A. III.
Huntington, who has kept a weather
record for many years, informs us that
the week ending to-day has been the
most remarkable he has ever known in
June. The thermometer has indicated
through the whole week, at sunrise, 500
of heat, not varying halfa degree during
this time. Usually when we have such
hot weather, the intense heat is succeed
ed by showers, but we have had very
little rain during the week. If there
had been no thermometer in town our
feelings would have indicated some
thing remarkable" in the weather.
A RUNAWAY.-The CaledOnian says
that as Mr.. Curtis Ayers, with his wife
and three children, were on their

and just as they began to descend War

Of the harness gave way, letting the
carriage upon the horses heels, which

that IL has In no respect aided the prosecu.
ton. The anxiety In the result of the
trial is daily becoming deeper and more
intense, and there are very few among the
most obSeryant leokers-on who are willing
to hazard emphatic opinions on the re-
suit. The Managers are not showing much
respect for the defence, and the usual
courtesies and amenities which are always
observed in ordinary trials have very little
place 10 this, as far as the prosecution is
concerned. The Objects to allow no fur

there is no doubt but that the speech of
Butler to-day was prepared expressly for
the occasion, as there were indications
that the necessity for slight delays on the
part of the defence would again be pre-
scented.
II has been observed within the past
two or three days that the President is
not looking in his usual good health. a
long siege Of anxiety and official care is
beginning to tell upon him. His devotion
to the principles which have guided his
administration, and constant application to
the more than ever arduous duties OF the
office of Chief Magistrate, have no doubt
worn upon tho physical man. The stout
heart and strong mental vigor is, however,
totally mistaken.

LEXINGTON, VA, April Is, 1868.
To-day being the first day Of the spring
term of our Circuit Court, Judge Shelley
delivered to the grand jury an able, elo-
quent, and we'll timed charge.
At half.past IL o'clock the courthouse
was crowded to its utmost capacity to
hear Colonel John B. Baldwin, who had
been invited to address the people.
Being introduced by General S. Nc
Dowell Moore, Colonel Baldwin begun his
speech by remarking that he had supp osed
that he had quit politics at the back door
and retired permanently to private life,
but that inasmuch IS the State Executive
Committee Of the Conservative party had
thought proper TO appoint him canvasser
for the district, he had determined to
enter the field, despite the opinion of his
Radical fellow-citizens that he was ct
neither to hold Office, vote, nor think.
IL Is the plain duty Of our people in the
present emergency to be calm. but at the
same time wide-awake, firm, and deter
mined. Itis no time for hurrahs and ex-
elements. So arfrom seeking, we should
avoid collisions. We have been over
whelmed by naen and money, and should
acknowledge this. But we should at
the same time remember that we have
preserved our honor, and that the Radi-
Gals can never disgrace US save by our own
consent. The speaker then gave a. vivid
sketch Of the history of reconstruction, -
