SUDDEN DEArH.-David Urquhart, Esq,
Of New Orleans, died suddenly in this city on
Saturday evening.


We learn that Mr. U. had walked in the
eastern part OF the city about half an hour,
when finding himself unwelI, he stopped in
at u store to request that a carriage and physi-
clan might be sent for, but he died before
either arrived. Mr. U. was one of the oldest
and most honored citizens ofhis native State,
Louisiana, and has left wife and large fam
lily to mourn his loss.-BaA. .7mcricam, l4h

DEFALCATloN.-A Philadelphia paper says
that the Treasurer of one of the Churches

enormous sum of $4,000 by investments in
the U. S. Bank, Mississippi Banks, Pennsy-

We observe that Mr. Levi ID. SIamm has
retired from the editorial management Of the
New York Era, and that he proposes shortly
to commence a new democratic paper, to be
called The New York Plebeian." Mr.
Slamm has all the ability aud experience ne
cessary to give interest and value to such a
publication, and ii will doubtless meet with
ample Pennsylranian.
We have at our office stalk of Indian rye,
showing the average height of the field on
which it grew on the 3D. inst, which wants
but trifle of being 8 feet long. 1t came
from our brother Chapman, of the Indiana
Sentinel, and we believe we shall have to let
him cro,c over all New England, for we can
show nothing TO match it, although the follow
| ing paragraph from the Hartford Times men
tons a stalk which is not much shor,er:-
"TALLEsr YEr!-Hon. S. Huntington
brought into our Office to-day, stalk Of rye,
raised on his farm, which measures feet s
| 1-2 inches in leng,h. Where's a taller!' -
| Boston Post.


If either the editors of the POST or erimes'
will step into our Office we will show them ga





raised on the farm of Mr. Ganalel Rose, of
English Neighborhood, N. j., all measuring
over S feet in height. He informs US that he
could select other stalks of greater height than
the specimens shown, which we're taken from
the edge Of the field. He thinks the rye crop
will be unusually abundant. Now ''where's
| taler."-.N r. .Ne,c Era.
