It is a sad sight to see in free America men marched through our city manacled to a chain, their destiny to become unwilling soldiers. The spectacle was visible here the other day.—New York Argus.

The Tay is at present swarming with salmon, grilse, and trout, all of which are in fine condition, and during the past week anglers have had excellent sport on the various stations between the mouth of Almond and Cargill. The salmon fishing closed at Aberdeen on Monday. In all the rivers in the north the fishing from the tidal water to the coast has been good; above that, deficient. Grilse has not been very plentiful, but the abundance of salmon had proved an equivalent. A fresh proclamation has been issued regarding the murderer Hayes, who absconded last autumn.

A letter from Minnesota speaks of a great plague of grasshoppers :—" To say that millions of these Pests were hopping about us would be to speak in very moderate terms. They rained down on us from above, they sprang upon us from beneath, they struck hard against our faces as pebbles, and they drifted upon us in myriads from every side."
