Hot wEATHER.-The hot. and sickly season
Is upon US, and yet, as far as we have observed,
no precautions have been taken to ward of
disease. The owners Of garbage carts claim
that they have not been paid, and now, when
their services are most needed, have ceased to
gather up the swill that is thrown out In the
back yards and alley ways. Heaps Of decayed
vegetables, dead dogs, dead cats, dead rats,
SC, meet the eye In all directions. These lay
fostering in the sun, filling our atmosphere
with the seeds Of disease, which are waited
into our parlors and sleeping rooms.
We would also call attention to the large
quantities Of unripe and partially decayed
vegetables and fruits that are sold In our mar
kets. Green apples are brought up from Nor
folk 10 = half ripe and half deetyed condition,
and not ut to feed to hogs. Such fruit 10 very
detrimental to health. Likewise many physi.
clans express the opinion that, among all the
articles offered for sale In an uuripe condition,
new potatoes are the most Injurious, because
they are more generally used than other yege-
tables, and should be used very sparingly up
to the first OF August. Good old potatoes at
the prices of new are much the more economi-
cal.

lector Smytte-"Come on here at once, (sign-
ed, Newton"-and asked Mr.. Newton what
nefarious scheme he had in contemplation when
he penped such an atrocious request as that.
Mr.. Newton replied that he felt lonesome
and wanted Mr.. Smythe to come along and
take drink, whereupou Butler got indignant.
! Near the close of Mr.. Newton's testimony.
he was asked if he had ever known of an offer
of money being made to the President. he
replied with much grave deliberation that he
had. and Immediately all the managers became
attentive, and prepared themselves in imagin-
alton for another article of impeachment He
stated that Mr.. William H. Appleton, the pub
lisher had come to Washington some four or
five weeks ago, and signifed to the President,
through Mr.. Newton, that in case of his being
convicted, several gentlemen in New York in
tended to present him with purse of S10OOOO
In gold, and that the house of Mr.. Appleton
would be at his service after he quilted the
Executive Mansion. In case he should be &C
quilted the sum to be presented would be made
$50 900. There was nothing lmpeachable in
this, and the managers got disconsolate and
told the witness he might go. The MANAGERS
expect to find evidence upon which to have
Ross expelled from the Senate.
