sunstrokes the order of the Day.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Thepolice reported
81 sunstrokes-several fatal. Thermometer,
at o'clock this morning, so.
The Herald has a long account from
Stanley, narrating adventures in reaching
Uiiji, where he came up with Livingston,
whose story is as follows:
In March 1866, he informed the Herald
explorer, he started with twelve Sepoys,
nine Johanna men and Liberite slaves
He travelled up the Ravenna river but be-
fore they had been gone very long the men
became frightened at the nature of the
Journey and the reports of hostile tribes up
The country through which they were to
pass, and at length they deserted him, and
rs a cover to their cowardice in doing so,
circulated the report of his death. Liv-
ingston proceeded on his journey in spite
of the isolation. and after some difficult
marching, reached the Chambezi river
which he crossed.
He found that this was not the Portu-
guese Scambesnei river, as had been COLI
jecturcd, but on the contrary wholly sepa-
rate He traced its course and found that
it is called farther on the Lualaba. He
continued his explorations along its bank
for several hundred miles, and has become
convinced in consequence, that the Cham
bezi is doubtless the source of the Nile, and
that this will make total length for the
mystic rive of Africa of two thousand six
hundred miles. His explorations also es-
tablished that the Nile is not supplied by
Lake Tanganyike.
He reached within one hundred and
eighty miles of the source and explored
the surrounding QrOunds when finding
himself without supplies he was obliged
to return to Ujiji, and was in state OF
destitution when met by the commander
of HeraJd's eXpidition. On the 10th of
October, 1871, the two explorers left Ujiji
and arrived at Unyanyembe toward the
end of November where they passed twen-
weight days together exploring the dis
trict, they then returned and spent Christ
mas together at Ujiji. The Herald eX-
plorer arrived at the point of sending this
important Intelligence on the-14th of
March, 1872 leaving Livingston at Unyan-
yembe. Livingston's further plans are as
follows He will explore the north shore
of Tanganyike Lake and the remaining
$50 miles of the Lualaba river. This her
culean task he expects will occupy the
next two years.
ALBANY, July 1.-The Senate to-day
voted for the removal of Judge McCeunn.
The vote stood: affirmative, 2S negative,
none. EE A
Boston, July 2.-Up to noon to-day, 20
fatal sunstrokes were reported. Anumber
of others are in a critical condition.
PHILADELPHIA, July 2.-The eXpio- |
sions in Elkin and Middleton rectifying
establishment caused q fire, by which
forty-thousand dollars worth of whiskey,
and p 900 dollars worth of rectifying APP
paratus were destroyed.
Thermometer 90. There were many sun
strokes.
MILWAUKEE, July 2.-The printers
strike is weakening, though the Wisconsin,
conceded temporarily.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-The Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad opened this MORN
ing. This breaks the chronic monopoly
between Baltimore and Washington, and
gives travellers the choice of either of the
great northern and southern combinations
without the veXatious delays to which an
unfortunate choice has subjected them.
Hereafter, whether the Pennsylvania Gen.
trail or the Baltimore and Ohio combina-
ton be chosen there will be no tedious and
expensive delays at Baltimore, The new
Pennsylvania is in the Tom Scott interest.
MEMPHIS, July I'm a quarrel over
two year old horse trade, Benjamin II.
Wray killed his brother-in-law and then
himself. The affray occurred near Browns
vile, Tennessee, and the parties were re-
spectacle.
CINCINNATI. July 2.-Wm. Smith,
editor of the Price Current and for long
time Superintendent of the Chamber of
Commerce, is very sick. There is little
hope for his recovery.
The wheat harvest is already fairly un-
der way throughout Ohio. Although the
crop is thinner on the ground than usual,
the heads uncommonly heavy and well
filled.
