 July 1, 1866-Rev. D. c. Roberts, as- sistant rector of Christ church, fell to the ground while walking in Greene vile, "Wednesday. He was tired and weak from his labors, and the heat of the sun caused, as is supposed, a, case of Sunstroke. He was restored to consciousness after half an hours ex- ertion by Dr. J. H. Lee.
 Steamer Struck Hidden Rock
 July 6, 1S66-The steamer Masso- soft, lately in the government service, which had just been chartered to run
 between this city and Watch Hill dur ing the summer, left at 8 a. m. the morning of the Fourth, under com nland of Capt. Ed. Smith, Jr, with some 150 excUrsionists. Just as the boat was nearing the dock at Watch Hill, she struck a sunlzen rock some forty rods from the shore, and com menced to leak very badly. The cap tain at once headed for the shore and
 beached her. with her bow at the end of the dock and her stern in some seven feet of water. The passengers were safely landed and returned on the w. w. Colt.
 Holiday E<citment at New London.
 The steamer from Greenport took from here on the Fourth, $50 pass engers and took aboard at New Lon don about 50 more. Of these latter, it is reported by the eXCursionists, if teen or twenty wore fiTemen'S badgeS and were inclined to be quarrelsome from the start. At Greenport, there were symptoms of a row on the rock, but nothing serious occurred until the boat touched at New London. One of the crowd on shore threw @ clam shell l Which struck woman on the boat. She very promptly replied with a stool which was whirled on to the dock in Q very lively manner, Then com nlenced a general exchange of bottles i brick bats, stools, bits of coal and other missiles. It would have been amusing had it not been dangerous. After a brief interchange of Civilities of this sort, a, portion of the Norwich crowd went ashore and charged up the dock with a bar of iron. As they returned they were followed by the New LondOners who distributed coal to them on the way with the most reckless disregard of expense.
 Fire at the Falls,
 The residence of Dr. J. E. Linneu at the Falls was much damaged by fire and water and his barn and the ad- joining one of James c. Tucker burn ed to the ground. Burning remnants of fire crackers were the probable cause.
