The Orangemen had their parade ON Monday
hard fortune picking out one of the hottest days
in the year for the rather questionable jolifca-
ton. Cool July days are hardly to be counted
on however, and as the glorious Battle of Boyne
anniversary cannot with due regard TO historical
accuracy be changed, all that the 'loyal' Or
angemen can do is to suit themselves to circum-
stances. To arrange a route six or eight miles
long, through some of the most crowded parts
Of the city, il scarcely to do this with intelli-
gence. Many men left the ranks, quite used
up by the heat, and the proceedings had consid-
cradle of tie senseless about them.
A singular proof of the power of conscience
was given this week. man named
John Raleigh approached policeman
in the street, saying he desired
to give himself in custody for murder COM
mited in South Carolina nine years ago. The
officer, without means of knowing whether the
stranger was insane or whether his story was
true one, took him to the Central Station where
he was locked up until the South Carolina ar-
thorites could be conferred with. In due course
it appeared that Raleigh's story was correct he
had shot and killed companion IN drunken
quarrel and he is now in custody OF Southern
officers and on his way home to stand his trial
But for his voluntary act he might have contin-
ued to evade punishment. "Thus doth con-
science make towards of us ALL" INDEX.

DETAILS OF THE RACE.
GAME STRUGGLE THE LAST HALF MILF.
WESLEYAN COMES IN SECOND.
SARATOGA, july 19,

SARATOGA, July IS.
There were fifteen thousand spectators of the
race. The lake was as smooth as glass.
The boats started well together, Columbia
taking the lead, at once. Trinity made spurt,
and overhauled Columbia, and at the end of the
first mile, took the lead away from Yale, which
had shot ahead, but fouled and fell behind
Princeton now came up closely behind Trim
ty, the others being about even with each 9TH
or.
At the end of mile and half, Columbia
again took the lead, with Harvard struggling
sharply for it,
At the two mile point, Columbia was still in
advance. with Cornell making squirt, and
passing Harvard.
The last half mile was one continuous exciting
pull, between Columbia, Wesleyan, Harvard, and
Dartmouth, and they came in, in that order,
Columbia two lengths ahead.
The official time of the winning crew is an
nounced to be 16 minutes 30 seconds.
The preceding report that Yale came in second
was an error-Wesleyan holding that place, as
above stated.
1.-THE result of the race must have been great
surprise. Yale was the favorite and then Har-
ward and Wesleyan about equally. Columbias
success was entirely unexpected, and Dartmouth,
VIII ca beats Yale. had been considered as rowing
bady-the extremely quick strickland not
likely to be amongst the leaders

DEcAMPMENT OF AN ELKToN MERcHANr.--Wil
liam McClelland, Jr., son of VIM. McClelland,
Sr., who resides in Delaware, suddenly disap-
peared from Elkton on Monday week, abandon
ing his store and family ard has not been seen
or heard from SINCE He left letter in the
family bible, bidding goodbye to his friends
and stating the reason of his sudden departure,
which the Wing says was on account of failure
in business and the detection of numerous for
geries upon his fathers credit which he knew to
be inevitable. The senior McClelland held a
bill of sale of the goods remaining in the
store unsold, and disposed of them
for what they would bring few days ago. A
peculiarity Of the decamping McClelland was
that he kept journal, in which he noted down
among current events the parties names with
whom he had pecunary transactions, and who
helped him over difficulties by shaving his notes
and other obligations. On these friends in time
of sore need it is stated, he reflects in his jour
nal with considerable asperity.

their horse and carriage, beside assistance,
and started early, this morning, to scour
the country as far as the Rising

it must be done at once, and before this reaches
the eyes of your readers the child steaers may
be in the hands of justice. We certainly hope they

On Saturday afternoon last, while Mr. Peters

fancy articles, but all the while forgetting about
his unfinished business with the molasses cask.
1t was sad sight to see that young man with
