The RECENT DRoUGnT.-Mr. Campbell,
the Commissioner of Public Works OF the
city of New York, said, last week, that there
had been no drought like the present in that
region since the Croton aqueduct was built.
In New England, New Jersey and Eastern
Pennsylvania, as well as in this State, the rivers
havenever been so low, nor have so many wells
been dry at this season of the year. In the
Croton basin all the wells and springs have
given out, and the people have to get water
from the river, which itself is very low. The
Delaware and Hudson Canal has been closed
since the last of September.

The DEMOCRATIC RALLY ct Plattsburgh,
Tuesday, was attended by some five or six
thousand people-about third the number
the great Republican demonstration called
out. The weather was highly unfortunate,
cold, DRILLING rain falling the greater part
of the day, and it is no wonder that the
Democracy did not ''cnthuse' largely. The
principal speaker was Hon. S. J. Randall.
One hundred and twenty of the Burlington
unterrihed went over in the steamer Will
liams While there were few respectable
men in the party, it was as whole, by all
odds, the most ruffiany gang that ever went
out of Burlington. Not single prominent
Democrat was in the party, which was re-
cruited almost wholly from the lowest
ranks of the short haired wing
and its performances were simply disgrace
full. There were numerous fights and melecs
at Piattsburgh; and on the return trip the
Williams was turned into perfect pandc
monium. A new ''battle of Plattsburgh"
ragged all the way over, and while there are
no fatalities 10 record, a number of men
were dreadfully pounded and the list of
wounded is long one. A number of ladies
were on board and after trying in vain to
inspire in the rufiianly crowd some sense of
courtesy TO them and respect for themselves,
the officers Of the boat protected the female
passengers from further Insult by rsn".s
them in the stateroom, allowing the unterri-
fed TO pound each other TO their hearts CON

when Burlington dock was reached. Not

parts. OF course such a demonstration will
