There is a little newaboy here whom I have noticed often, whose counterpart is probably to be found In most cities. He seems too young and small to be allowed to wander on the atreeta. but doubtless farced to it by those who should give him some care and kindness, but who instead work him beyond his strength and years, and feed upon or drink his scanty earnings. Tlie little fellow seems to get his small store of papers late in the evening, after most of his older and shrewder contemporaries have scoured the field, and long after tlie demand is over, lie stays on tlie street till Sand 10 o'clock, after most children are tacked awav in their beds—indeed when most houist folks have gone to their homes. Hs pads along in bis hsrefeet, approaching the late pe destrian with outstretched band: “Want a piper?” The other night, walking with a friend, we found this chap curled upon one of the numerous fruit shelves that line the streets, Ills papers still unsold held tightly under his arm, his head resting upon Ills lap, sleeping the sleep of a tired child. Under CAMILLA. 8peclme leas extravagance, my friend and 1 waked hint gently Jrom his sleep, purchased his little stock and bade him skip home. Whether he bad.any place akin to home or not. he jumped to his feet and in a twinkle had disappeared. I am quite sure lie does not always meet with an h wealthy and extravagant patrons, and gives up very olten with bis papers unsold. Where he goes to then anu what happens to him then, I do not know, but have an idea that the port he gets into is not a haven of rest or kindness. To-morrow, at the First Baptist Church, Dr. Hawthorne, the distinguished divine, will (french his first sermod as pastor of the church. A splendid choir will add to tlie occasion, and a very large congregation Is expected to be in attendance. A special mid pressing Invitation had been extended Mrs. Clara Haiucs, of Savannah, to lend her voice to ttie occasion and she had con sented, hut she will be prevented from corn- ins on account of sudden illness. Those who are interested in the Con gressional race in this district are wailing atixiotislv to hear the result of the prim ary held in Henry connty to-day. It will be taken as a straw of much magnitude, but will not necessarily affect the result ia any Other county. The James Bank matter still hangs on without much progress and the adjustment failures as to time and dividend! gives some promise of being as satisfactory and profitable to depositors as the wl iding tip of the old Freedmen’s Bureau.

Com crops will be good despite the small stalk from cool spring and May and June drouth. Only one-third of a melon crop and no glut anywhere, yet the returns hdve been light, so much so that melon growers feel “whipped out.” Freights are too high for the growers to make anything. Here is an account of the sale of a car of choice melons, which is better than the average returns: “One car of melons, 8185. Com mission 818.50, freight 801.08-100.18. Net proceeds, 871-82." The grower loads his car at the depot and unloads at the point of destination, and yet what a small per cent, of the money value oi the melons comes back to his hands.

A meeting of citizens at the court house last night, to consult as to the proper thing to he done, decided to request Judge Thomas Whittaker, of tho County Court, to have Willis Hodnett, the negro suspected ol tho criminal assault, carried to the house of his victim and confronted witli lirr for idenljfication, it possible. The J udge acceded to their request, and the suspected man was carried to the lady’s house this afternoon. She was found nervous and utterly prostrate, but testified intelligently, before God and with regard to her oath, understanding the con- aequonces, that the prisoner was the per peiratorof the crime. On the contrary Hodnett made a plain atatement, account ing for himself all night. A crowd had followed from town, and the investigation was continued on the ground. Solicitor Wimblsh prosecuted the case, and Messrs. Arnold and Gaffney, at the request of the court and crowd, ably defended Use accused. After argument, Judge Whittaker decided that the evidence required that Hodnett bo held for the ac tion of the grand jury. After delivering this deci ion, the judge admonished the crowd to await developments and preserve order. Before he had left the yard, how ever, the prisoner bad been taken front the guard tiy the crowd, who held tho sheriff so that he could not interfere, Judge Whittaker earnestly remonstrated and ordered all to disperse, but his com mand was diregarded and he was seized and carried off the ground by friends, The negro was then placed In a hack, which started for tlie swamp. It has since been reported that Hodnett was made stand on the top of ttie hack, a rope was placed around his neck, lied to the limb of a tree, and the back driven from nnder him. a pair of small clippers that pinched me.

Special to the World. Cooperston, N. Y., July 4.—Noth ing more thrillingly tragic in connec tion with a suicidal act has ever been chronicled than the circumatanct s at tending tlie self-destruction of George W. Crocker, ot Shann Springs, who to day fastened a heavy anchor to his leg wliile in a boat on Otsego Lake, and when his companion, observingtheact, took steps to save him, he pointed a revolver at his head, and leaped over board. The corpse is now at the bot tom of the lake, which is 300 feet deep at the point where the tragedy oc curred. Mr. Crocker was a young man in comfortable circumstances. He always dressed respectably, drove a fine team and kept a private pleasure boat. Or dinarily he was of cheerful disposition and decidedly genial nature. A couple of years ago he was married and has since resided happily with his wife. The fruit of the union was one child, of which the young father was passionate ly fond. Intimate friends of Mr. Crocker say that as far as known all his relations were of the pleasantest kind, except those with his wile’s father, from whom he had became es tranged. A feeling of bitterness pre vailed between the two men, and on more than one occasion Crockerthreat ened to take the life ol his father-in- law. It is now thought that he hod determined either to kill his father-in law or end his own existence, and hi: action of self-distnieti.m shows that lie filially preferred to adopt tlie latter. His preparations for the suicide wi r planned witli great deliberateness, bin were of such a character as to prevent tlie possibility of any failure. In com- lany with his friend Waller Livingston ie went rowing on the lake thin after noon. While Ids friend hud the oars Crocker, unobserved, fn-tened tlie an chor to his leg. He then rose lor tlie mrpose ol leaping overboard when Mr. l.ivingHton lor the first time observed the preparations ttiat had been made for tlie suicidal act and lie sprang for ward to prevent it. Such an emergency had, however, been provided lor by Crocker, as upon observing Ids friend's movement, he drew a revolver from ids pocket, and pointing it at Livingston, warned 1dm that i( he approached a step nearer he would put a ballet through his heart. Crocker’s eyes were glaring wildly and lie was evidently insane. Mr. Livingston hes itated to approach, believing, as he now does, that he would have been shot down, nnd stood transfixed with horror at tlie terrible situation in which ho found himself placed. Without a mo ment’s delay Crocker raised the anchor in ono lund, while he continued to cover his friend with Ids pistol in the other and sprang overliourd. All at tempts at a rescue were of conrse use less, as tho heavy iron quickly carried the unfortunate man to the bottom of the lake. Mr. Livingston pulled ashore as rap idly os possible and told tho Name startling story, causing the greatest excitement among the sojourners of the the friends and rcla- "Do you agree to leave ail tlie ‘plun- getaway when I got bigger, but I der’ on this side of the Brazos?” is caught.

He was alone, and had traveled all the way from Quincy, Ill., in the hope of finding here a home and a father and mother. He confidently believed he waa the long-lost Charlie Ross. From the Broad-street station the Uttle (eUow made hia way alone to Germantown, and by inquiring of policemen and others found the resi dence oi Mr. Christian K. Ross, where he appeared soon after sunrise. He waa dressed in a suit of dark clothes and wore a check shirt. He had no tow-loccd shoes and cotton socks. His complexion was fair, and his lurir of a light brown color, was cropped very short. He has blue eyes. To Mr. and Mrs. Ross he told his story: "I can just remember two gypsies taking me from my father’s Itouac ten or twelve years ago-I *■» playing outside at the time. One of the men hail sandy whiskers and sandy hair, dark eyes, ami wore bine eyeglasses; lie were a linen duster. I remember that well. Hto name waa Hurst. Tbo other man's name was Gilbert. He hod a red face and wore a straw lint which had been worn a season or two. They took me and placed me in a black ton wagon. They had a bay bone, which they drove without line or check. They drove off rapidly, and after about an hour's ride they got out and took me ton stream. They cut my hair off with band of Americana and slaughter them I as at the Alamo.

It seems that tlie first volley of the Mexican* was fire-1 too high and tlie second too low, an-i by that time they were not in a condi tion to shoot any more to speak about, and tlie desperate Bix hundred were in tile midst sliooting with rifles and pistols, slashing and stabbing witli swonls, bayonets and those terrible liowie knives. Tlie Mexicans were stampeded and slaughtered like sheep. Seven hundred were killed, and an many were wounded and al-out tu many escaped.
