NEW YORK. FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1873.
The HERALD sciN be sent TO the address of
persons going into he country during the summer
atthe rate Of one dollar per month, postaGe paid.
The probabilities are that the soeaLter ,t Ne,o
York aud its rici'ity today ,oiH be cooler and
rio,sdy or partly cloudy, scih occasional light shor
srs, aud toliored by and fair soeather.
To-mo,ror tiriH be ,ra,mer aud fair, probably
follo,red by increasing elo,dimess.
The CRIMINAL RECORD of yesterday is COM
paratively light One fatal stabbing case oc-
Cured in the city. In Maryla land disappointed
inventor attempted to murder two brothers and
then committed suicide.
THE MoNofoNoUs Story of Indian outrages
in Dakota Territory is varied this morniug by
the report Of the discovery of immense gold
mines. Territories having more pine woods
than people ought to hit upon some new plan Of
advertising.
The WYOMING VALLEY is making the most of
ks massacre. A supplemental commemoration
was held yesterday ut which the President, the
Governor OF. Pennsylvania and all tho lesser
lights of tho general and State governments
who were present were fully utilized.
ScnwAB and his Communists held a parade
and picnic yesterday. One hundred barrels
of lager beer were consumed, which was, of
course, an immense gain for the sacred cause of
liberty and the bank account Of Schwab. The
only drawback to the festivities Was the absence
Of Mr.. Dorsheimer, who has gone to Europe.
REALLY ALARMING REroRT comes from
Mexico 1t appears that one thousand citizens
Of that happy Republic are drilling at FL Paso
and have pctitioned the government Of Chihua-
hua to allow them to cross over into Texas and
give the warriors of that State drubbing.
Mexico has some curious ideas in regard to the
United States.
BELGIUM, according to the report of our Con-
Bul Mt Brussels, is very slow in recognizing the
value and excellence Of our manufactures. Tho
prejudice against our goods Is very great. 1t is
gradually being broken down, however, and our
representative is confident that ii sample depots
were established we should soon have q good
market in that country.
Nor THE LEAST INTERESTING of the incl
dents Of the observance Of tho national
holiday was the patriotic message from
the South to the North through Senator
Gordon. 1t was directly addressed to the
people of Evansville, in Indiana. "The whole
SOUTH said he, earnestly unites with you in
saluting the day with all its memories of the
past aud all its pledges for the future"
The ACCIDENTAL KILLING of one of the riders
In the steeplechase race at Monmouth Park
yesterday will be an unpleasant recollection of
what in other respects has been, thus far, one of
the best turf events of the year. 1t will be seen
that the unfortunate man met his death at one
Of the hurdles in the track as the horses were OH
the way home. Almost all the accidents in
steeplechase races occur precisely at this point.
For years We have contended that there ought
to be no hurdles outside the limits of the
field; that when horses leave il all obstacles in
their way should be removed. II is to be hoped
the lesson will not be lost upon the managers of
tile Saratoga, jerome Park and other courses.
TnE Misunderstanding the local weather
wns very favorable jor the celebration of tho
glorious Fourth. As indicated in our local
weather prediction the morning opened warm
and fair, but in the afternoon the sky became
entirely clouded, with lower temperature and
very light rain. Northward of the city and fol-
lowing lue from west to east the centre of a
severe thunder storm passed, causing heavy
rains along its route from Central Pcnnsyl-
vania to Connecticut. The storm in both States
was exceptionally heavy. At Pittsburg the
storm is described as terrible. Several persons
arc reported killed and many wounded. A
woman was killed by the lightning at New
London, Conn. The rumbling Of tho thunder
was heard In New York with great distinctncss.
while the threatening aspect of the sky caused
uncasincss 70 the pleasure seekers. Our prcdic-
tion of Wednesday has been entirely fulfilled
MS regards the violent local storms in the
Ohio Valley region. In the Northwest the
weather continues very stormy Tho deprcs-
sion central there has not made much progress
eastward, but heavy winds prevail on its east
cru and southern margins, without rains. The
pressure has iallcn in the central valley dis.
tricts--indeed, general fall has followed a gen
eriil rise OF pressure. The rainfall has been dis
tIibuicd over several and widely separated dis
tricts. That OF the early morning hours was
limited to the lake region, where it was light
and the South Atlantic coast, where il was
heavy, attending the disturbance pass
ing over that district. During the
afternoon the rains continued to fall lightly
over the lower lake region, and fell heavily
along the track Of the thunder storm referred to
above MS traversing Pennsylvania, Southern New
York and southern New England Rains also
fell on the South Atlantic and East Gulf coasts.
Reports from the Canadian districts state that
thunder storms have also occurred in the upper
sections OF the ID Domnion. The weather in New
York aud it's vicinity to-day will be cooler and
clvusly or partly cloudy, possibly with occa-
ssonai light showers, and followed BY warmer
