It is expected tliat tbe road will be completed to Sag Harbor, its terminus, tlie present week. _ v Williugton Scbuyler, colored, seriously stab bed Win. Portland, also'colored, in the village of Flushing,. on Friday last, Scbuyler was arrested fifteen minutes after the affray, and held to await the action of tbe Grand .Tury. At tbe meeting of the Suffolk county Agri cultural Society and lady co-adjutors held at Riverhead on the 20 th, it was resolved to hold a Horticultural Fair and Festival on or about the June 26—strawberries permitting. Time ly notice will bo given. On Monday night last a party of thieves, believed to be the same who robbed Mr. Ring, broke into the dwelling house of Mrs. Gar vin, on the Jamaica and Williamsburgh road, and stole everything they could lay their hands on, taking even the provisions that were in the cellar. Last Thursday night burglars broke into the dwelling house of Mr. Frederick Ring, • at Middle Village., After entering the house they proceeded to Mr. Ring’s bedroomi where one of they stood guard over Mr. Ring, while the others ransacked tbe house, and secured about $500 worth of silver ware and clothing, and made good their escape. ». The branch road to run from the village of Hempstead, to connect with the South Side road at Valley Stream, lias been commenced. Ground was broken on Tuesday of last week, and the work will he pushed ahead as rapidly aspossible; the contractor, Mr. Vandewater Smith, has till the first of July to finish it. Mr. Ezra Pearsall, now residing at Free port, but formerly belonging to Huntington, while recently on a visit to Brooklyn to get some money belonging to him, was robbed of the entire amount, about $90. 3fr. P. is a disabled soldier, and a worthy citizeu, and the loss falls heavily on him. , We understand that Orange Judd, Esq., bos sold his entire interest (amounting to about $30,000) in tbe Flushing and North Side Rail road—taking lots in this village in exchange for his stock. Upon these, he proposes to erect a number of house 3 . A few more en terprising men like Mr. Judd, disposed to in vest their means in in building up the village, would be a great blessing to Fiusing. • A few. evenings since, Woodend Denton, of Port Jefferson, took a horse and carriage and drove over to Btony Brook t* church. On Ms arrival there he tied the hoise under a shed and left. On returning he found two of the horses legs broken, which- necesitated its baing killed. The Star says the affair has the appearance of a jealous revenge, and sus picion falls heavily upon a Setauket yontb. “The Star reports a case of legerdemain as follows: A Mr. Charles Biggs upon going home from Smithtown to New Village, re cently, having about $74, and fearing robbers, placed his money In ahandkerchiof and tncked it up hia coat sleeve under bis arm. He stopped at Mr. Wm. Hawkin’s residence and did some work. In the evening he pulled nut the handkerchief but the money was miss ing. As yet be has been unable to find the ‘‘greenbacks.\ - Henry M. Pordy, Esq., late Supervisor of tbe town of Islip, has been for some time la boring under temporary derangement of mind and was last week removed to Bloomingdale %\sylum. It 4s a sad case, and we have thos far abstained from alluding to it, out of re gard for himself and friends, hoping that he might get over his attack without serious trou ble, but he has been gradually growing worse, till the coarse adopted seemed {he only safe one. It is to be hoped that he will soon, re cover his wonted, balance of mind.— Signal. The bill incorporating the new Long Island city passed the Senate Saturday, and now only awaits the signature of the Governor to became a law. In ita present from the city will not be entitled to any Supervisor, the dnty of that office devolving ^ipon the Super visor of Newtown. It is estimated that the city wBl have a population or from 16,000 to '18,000, and will he more populous than any town in Queens cotraty, excepting Flushing. Long Island City embraces the villages of Hunter’s Point, Ravenswood, and Astoria, bctido. other localities. The village) election in Astoria wiU not now take place. For Gome time past a man by the name of Edward Netf ton, between Babylon and Deer Farlq has kcptavcly savage dog, and to pre- vcnt mischief, has f e n obliged to chain him up: On /WcditeSdsy- of last week, as Ida Southard, a littlogiri about 13 years of age, daughter of Mr. Valentine Bontiuxd, was pass ing. the dog htok&ioosp ■nd e mads a farioua attack upon her, tilth his fcvc&tl pytp las- Citfei; end titoasUy crnriitag the chiid’fl an- aRdtearinggrertatripaof fieah fromtka ** * Hadtetwtkeea for tliO/poo? child Would havo % Ao it i: timely awMance, tkqpoorchil ...........

I., on Wednesday night, Richard Hansing- ber, a watchman, shot and mortally wounded Florence Anderurack, ^ l10' the watchman al leges, was attempting to force au entrance in to one of the temporary Structured, where was stowed a large quantity of goods. Auder- maek denies this, and: Says that he was cross ing the fields to reach the railroad track, as lie wgs on his way to Babvlon, The ball entered his left side, .and lodged in his body. There is something Singular about the shoot ing. Hansidgbers left Breslau nnd walked. to Ridgewood, from where he escaped to Brook lyn by the first train on the South Side Rail road. Officer Simms of Babylon went in pursuit of him, but w,as unable to. appre hend him. . - A few years ago the boacli at FarRocka- tvaj’ was uncquaied for surf bathing, bnt lat terly it has been greatly injured by the for mation of an intet, which, extended tlirodgli the shore about half a mile in width render ing bathing unattainable except by crossing the inlet in a boat. During the heavy swell of the tide at high water on Monday of last week a new inlef, about four unties east of the old Pavilion property was made. Tbe inlet is broad and is said to be extending rapidly. The. opening of thia'new inlet will restore, the beach to its original firmness and extent, and make it an excellent place for surf bathing. The oysters that were planted in the old inlet have been covered to the depth of several feet with sand, and will be nearly all lost. Tbe Wednesday evening train from this vil lage las, for want of patronage, been discon tinued. . . j Tbe Hempstead ahd Jamaica Plank Road Company are removing the Planks from tbeir road. Henry Conklin is formiug the road as a turnpike. ♦ Tbe Judge Gale farm, on the Black Stump road, this village, wan sold on Wednesday last, at the Exchange Sales-room, New York, by Lawrence, Oakley & Fleury to J. S. Holi- den, for $11,600. On and after May 1 st. 1870, cars on the East New York and Jamaica 'Railroad will teavc Jamaica ahtf'lEast New York, every 20 minutes from 6 80 A. m. until 8 p. m., and every hour untill 10 i\ M. ^ On last Friday.aftemoon, as Mrs. Meehan of Woodbaven, was proceeding up the avenue, she was stopped by three men, who caught her by the throat and took her pocket-book and a basket of groceries. She screamed, and brought to her aid a*man who was at work in a field near by. He came to her assistance but was struck io the face With a slung shot, and knocked insensible. A carriage appeared at tbis time, when the ruffians escaped. T h e AmtndeA C h a r ter. The*Charter of »h& village has been amend ed by the Legislatnre*.just adjourned, and the powers of tbe corporatiod have been enlarged thereby. The amendments relate principally to the power of raising money to meet the ex penses’ of the corporation, and fixes the amount at one-thiid of one per cent of the assessed valuation of real' afid personal prop erty in the village, making the Trustees of the village Commissioners of Highways there in, with all the powers and duties of Commis sioners bf Highways of town, except as in the Charter as amended provides —granting the power to lay out, open, make, and grade any new road, street, or avenue therein, and alter, widen, and grade any oM road, street, or avenue therein, or to Close any part of each road, street, or avenuo under written applica tion of twelve recident free-holders of said village. We havo tire amended Charter, and a good board of Trustees, in whom the people most interested in tho property of onr village, have confidence. Wo hope tbero will be prompt and judicious oxereisa of the powers now granted to the board, and that the money will be expended so -that tlie improvement will be manifest to all. There is no sufficient reason tehy our vil lage should not be reguljted and beautified so a 3 to make it even mote attractive than it is to ctrangcro who ore tscefitognew places o f res idence, Thq health o f tbo, place ia good— communication with tiie city frequent^ and the fare loir. The opening of a few streets will throw into the market tome of the finest building (itoe d* Long Island, and tbe im provement of were o f .fire old atreeto an^ avenue*, with other improvement* needed, will secure to Jamaica a full share of tire population now on tire move tin Search for houses in tire bSMtitol towns of Long bland.

The parties who recently purchased the' Cogswell and Codwise farms this village are busily engaged in laying out the same in bnilding tots, opening and grading streets, etc. An Office has been established on the ground, and we learn tbat the lots are selling rapidly at prices ranging from $100 to $400 accord ing to location. The owners of this proper ty are known as the Talford Lawn Associa tion. They are offering great inducements to purchasers, and we hope they will meet with tho success they merit. The Jamaica Homestead Association have recently purchased the Edwards and Wallace farms, on Bouth street, and are laying themout into building lots, opening streets, etc. Sev eral acres of woods at the southern extremity of the Wallace farm have been reserved by the Asssociation for a grove. At tbe rear o f the grove a commodious depot is to be erected at which trains on the South Side road will stop on signal. A drive thirty feet wide ad joining the track of the South Side^road, and commencing at South street Is to ran the entire west side of the purchase. About four acres on South street has been reserved for a park, tiie principle feature of 'which will be the pond,;known as Phraner’s pond. Willow and other trees have already been cet out around the pond, and on tbe sides of tbe Walks already laid out. Tho pond will be thoroughly cleaned and deepened, and eprings opened so that it will always be full of clear puto Water. Boats are to bs placed upoa tho pond tor thu use of pleasure’ patties. Mr. L. O. Lockwood is superintending the ‘aying out of tiita property, of which we shall havo moro to cay in our next tasuo.
