Cartegcna on Monday surrendered, and

making their escape and were shot, the sur,
render was accompanied with no bloodshed.
The insurrectionary Junta and all others who
could do so, previous to the surrender, took
refuge on the Numancia, the Mendez- Nunez
and one or two other vessels in the harbor and
made their escape. At the mouth OF the har
Dor they were fired upon by the government
fleet, out without effect The Numancia,
among others, had on board Gen. Contreras,
Galycz, Saez, Guticrres and Fcrrez, who ar
arrived at Mere cl Kibcr, Algeria, next day,

The Mcndcz-Nuncz, with some 800 more

The surrender is attributed to irC0chcry,

 Last Friday, at o'clock, it began to thunder in the North with the wind South west. Very soon the wind suddenly changed into the North, raising a great cloud of dust, followed by drops of rain and hoil stones. The Jumps of ice were long and fiat, some of them II inches long. I can give but few particulars of broken windows. Mrs. E.s N. Gaylord had 43 panes broken, Edwara Norton 90, D. St. School house 16, Birdseye Hall 100, George Herald 25, Postoffice 20, and Sher- man Kimberly lost all tho glass on the North side of his house. Two or three hours after the shower he weighed some of the hail stones, and found that made a pound. - 1-~~ , .t&e.l .f god:

 Among the arrivals we notice Mrs. Law renee of Utica, at Mir. Grey's. and Mr. J. B. Mellick and family, of N. r., at Dea. Smiths.
 Last Saturday, party of 17 had fine Picnic on the very top of Ivy Mountain, by the Coast Survey signal. With the aid of MT.

Just North of the Tower on Tal- colt Mountain is large new white build. ing which looks finely. On the mountains long distance East of Hartford, we saw a white church and other houses.

On Friday the sub-choruses met accord ing to notice for the practice of the cho- ruses set down for the coming concert. ''The Marvellous Work" and ''The Heav- ems are Telling" from Haydn's Creator, and ''Yet Doth the Lord, "Baal. we Cry to Thee, ''Thanks he to God" ''Be not Afraid, and ''He watching over Israel" !" from Mendelssohn's Elijah, were rehears- ed. New Milford, New Preston, Roxbury, Warren, and Litchfeld were represented in the chorus, and the result seemed quite satisfactory to those having the matter in change. MT. Shepard played the very difficult accompaniments in his usual eff fective manner, and very fine entertain ment is looked for on the second of Sep- tember.
 Mra Kimberly, the New Haven lady, whose rendering of the soprano solos of the Creation was such popular feature, will sing at this cencrt, and solos are ex- pected from other fine singers, so that this branch of the program will equal that of any of the concerts ever before given in this music loving little place. Additional variety will be given the entertainment by several instrumental pieces for organ organ and cornet; and organ, c6rnet and flute; some of which were rehearsed on Friday morning. Among the we'll known returned Washingtonians who are to par ticipate in the affair we were glad to see the Rev. Augustus Smith of Washington City, one of the leading musicians in this vicinity in former times, and whose voice seems to have lost none of it's excellent qualities with the lapse of time.
 The absence of the Gunnery people and their friends at the encampment on the Lake leaves the village unusually dull for this season of the year. They return on Saturday, browner and a happier lot.

Cornwall.

On Friday of last week, severe hail storm passed over the north end of the town, doing great damage to crops and breaking glass in windows. Mir. Seneca Slocum's field of tobacco is entirely ruin ed. It was one of the best pieces in town, and now the stalks stand up as bare as the masts in a navy yard. Several other fields of tobacco were ruined, and buck wheat and corn are greatly injured.
 A short time ago, four dogs killed and injured sheep, owned by William Stratman. He estimated his damage at thirty-six dollars. The town is so overrun by dogs that it is almost inn possible to raise either sheep or poultry to any profit. .. ....
 On Wednesday last, the ladies of Cornwall had Fair and Festival for the benefit of the new Chapel The sale of articles was satisfactory.
 Another correspondent writes as follows ED. ENo.] .... On Friday about F. M. We were visit ed by the severest hailsscrm,, Accompanied by wind and rain, that have ever wit messed.
 It was only two or three miles in width. passing, through the north part of the town in a southeasterly direction. It was preceded and accompanied by a eontinu- oas roll of thunder. The storm lasted but few minutes, flooding the whole surface of the ground. and washing the hailstones into heaps. The hailstones were fatteded, shaped like half a elana,shan but ragged on the edges, often from an inch to an inch and & half in diameter, and driven so swiftly as to- break almost every pane of glass on the north side. of some of the houses in it's path.

New Preston,

A match game of baseball was played Saturday afternoon between the Gunnery B. B. 0. of Washington and the Alert B. B. 0. of New Preston. Both. clubs mus tered strong mines and great interest was felt in the game by the people of both places. The large gathering of Ne,- Tres tonites, the young ladies who wear the pink and blue, and the paftsans of our club, was augmented by the campers from the Gunnery. The game opened with the Gunnery at the bat and during the first five innings they were blanked successive ly. In the 9th inning their catcher was struck in the eye and obliged to retire from the game. The Alerts managed to increase their score in every inning but one. The Gunnerys fought hard but to no purpose. They were over mastered. The Alerts white washed them six times. The score was 20 to '. As the Gunnery has been very fortunate in base ball this year and isin the habit of beating New Pres ton, they did not feel quite satisfied, and so challenged us again for Tuesday. They will work very hard, and they will have to beat. They played we'll, the Gunnerys, Robinson, Brinsmade, Williams, Church, Buell., and Richards doing remarkably we'll. ............ ...
 Of the Alerts Keeler played game be- hind fha hat nlaasino to heho15 Gi11att's pitching, though not as swift as that of Brinsmade, was more effective, giving a bias to the ball that resulting either in a foul or an infeld fly. Jink and Fryatt play ed 1st and 2d bases we'll. Pierce did shortstop finely and Averill did good work. Cameron was taken on as substitute in the 9th inning and made home run.
 Below is the score by innings:
