Caleb Havens, of Southampton, had a valuable set net and skiff stolen from its posi tion, on Friday night-last. The rite of baptism, by immersion, was- ad ministered to twelve candidates, on Sunday last, at Rockville Centre, by Rev. Mr. Ladd. Wm. A. Gleason, Grand Worthy Patriarch of the S. of T., ot this State, lectured before the Old Weslbury Division, at Educational Hull, Monday last. The village of Flushing has been sued for $400, for rewards offered for the -apprehen sion of criminals. James Rouke, age 40, a farmer, residing between Patchogue tmd Bellport, was thrown from his buggy on Monday night aud received injuries from which he died on Tuesday. The Government works at Willett’s Point nnd Fort Schuyler are rapidly advancing. Contracts for S00,000 feet of lumber have befen made. Tbe house of James Wright, at Christian Hook, was struck with lightning and consid erably damaged on Sunday evening. Some of the members of the family were slightly injured. The office of Benjamin Hicks, lumber and coal dealer, at Roslyn, was entered, on Satur day night, and au attempt made to blow open the safe, but the burglars fled before they at tained their object.

Mr. Freudenthal, a large cigar manufacturer at Sag Harbor, bas discharged all the. men in his employ who are members of the Trades Union. He gives as a reason that they were conspiring with the other workmen to strike unless a number of Women were discharged. There is much excitement in consequence of this action. The Republican County Central Committee of Queens County have appointed a commit tee to report on some new plan for town rep resentation. At present each town sends an equal number of delegates to tbe Cotmty Con ventions, notwithstanding some towns have three times as many voters as others. On Sunday, Smith Gordon, of Sag Harbor, while playing oa the floor witli his child, ran a sewing-machine needle in his knee, aad be fore a physician was obtained it had worked itself into the flesh. The needle was cut out by Dr. Roe, but there is danger that he will lose the knee.

Persons having communications for The Farmer should address them simply “Editor, Jamaica Farmer. ’’ When addressed to names of Publisher or Editor personally, they may fail of prompt attention. Charles Lewry, the Champion Segar Man, who runs a tip-top shop 'in‘Jamaica and an other in Flushing, is just about to put a wagon or two on the road for the purpose of increas ing his wholesale trade.

On Saturday last, George Johoneknecht, a lad about 14= years of age, was drowned in “Reeve’s Pond,\ on Prospect Hill, this vil lage, by the accidental upsetting of his boat. Coroner Allen held an inquest on the body, the jury finding a verdict of death hy drown ing. The jury also .found that the pond was a nuisance and dangerous, and recommended that it be fliled up op drained.

He intends to rusticate had fish,* Will has been and is back with -ft1 lot of new bugs “and things\ for his museum. We wish the family many pleasures dttrihg their stay up there. The cost of draining two districts in Flush ing was $96,58140. Of this $70,033 46 was for sewers, $7,175 for basins, and $19,372 44 for draining the park. When will Jamaica spend a like sum ? Flushing has always been more sickly than tills place, hut now quinine will be quoted higher here than there. Lawrence McDohSld, a stone niason, and for the past twenty years a resident of this village, while walking oil the track of the Long Island Railrdttd, hear VanWyek ave nue, on Thursday evening last, was struck by tlie engine of the Mall train, bound west, and injured so severely that he died the same evening. Tho coroner’s jury rended a ver dict in accordance with the above facts, and exonerated the engineer from all blame. “ Charley Howell, a fine young lad, es teemed by All?who knew him, died after a few hours sickness, at Bushwick, of scarlet fever, last week.

Last Sabbath his sign was decked in deep mourning. And so, Not a voice was heard nor a ribald son-, Aa past oil the Sabbath we hurried, Not a bummer beltched forth a llltliy aalli, By the grave where Lager lies burled. They killed him bad, did that Board Excise, And the “signors” wroth an his doing, They.buricd him deep, those Sunday police, ,And there is the end of his brewing. Few and quite thin are the tears that are shed, For Ills dying cpdetU much sorrow, For somo needy now’ll have plenty of bread, And need uot to steal lior to borrow. T uue , “Sir John Moore’s burial,” Are goats sarcastic ? A few days since we observed a number playing “railroad\ on an East New York train. A copy of the F arm - BR was fluttering, nigh. In it was the item that said the Long Island Railroad trains would not stop at Jamaica, if it were not for connecting with these same East New York cars. The goats must have read it for they kicked up their heels, stroked their beards and set to work cither really eating or pre tending to eat grass off tbe track, car-plat- forms,'steps and wheels. They, with the ut most upconcern frequently lay down and sleep on the track, and one of their favorite amusements is to give the express forty rods start and then catch it ou the fly before it lias reached the mile-post. The public may not know it, but the profits of this Brooklyn Cen tral connection are so great it would be easy to get rich running the mala Long Island line, never touching nor stopping tanywhcre, only just “connecting.’’ If these lines could only connect four or five times between here and East New York, Mr. Charlick would soen have money enough to buy Long Island ! TEimilSLE IMOT IN NEW YORK THE HIBERNIANS ATTACK ORANGEMEN! THE J ustice S nediker ’ s C ourt . —Killian Stumpfand Ann Connors, smdby the Ex cise Board, to recover the j\ nally $50, for selling liquor without a license, had jury trials before tho above justice, ou Friday lsst. Positive proof in both cases was adduced tliat the parties sold intoxicating liquors be tween the 21st of May and the 28cl of June. Verdict in each case $50. John Flaschaus, licensed dealer,' charged with selling on Sunday, obtained a non-suit, on the ground that being a licensed dealer he was not liable to the civil penalty for selling on Suuday, hut must be proceed against in a criminal suit. Complaint dismissed. A N ew R ailroad .—A company of Brook lyn capitalists has been formed, and a charter obtained, for the building of . a new railroad, to be known as the North Side Railroad of Long Island. The road is to run from Wil- liamsbnrgh to Orient Poiht, with a view of connecting with Boston, and will ruu. through the,principle villages on the north side of the island. Surveyors are how engaged survey ing the route. S tabbing A ffray . —For somo time past i difficulty has existed between two Irishmen, named Murphy ahd Huley, at Mirieola! On Sunday evening last, Mwphy passed Muley’s house and made some remark, when the latter attacked him and stabbed him , in t^e head, causing a severe, wouud. A warrant was Is sued for the arrest of tae assailant. Yfa ire informed that Oil Monday next Mr. fienjknan D.

Hicks & Bro., millers, his attention was ar rested by a slight noise within. Suspecting that burglars were at work he procured assist ance and returned, hut not in time to prevent the escape of three men, who, upon their ap proach, jumped from the window and disap peared in the darkness. Upon examination, it was found that they had succeeded in drilling the safe, and were just in the act of introduc ing powder, preparatory to blowing it open, when they were discovered. They left be hind them, in tlieir flight, about twenty doS- lars worth of burglars’ tool. This is the- fourth time within as many years that this- same gang have attempted Mr. Hicks’ safe. On tho three previous occasions they succeed ed in blowing the safes to pieces and securing jjiejr booty, hut this time they were foiled. Since the last attempt, a few months.since, when one of Herring’s most expensive'“burg lar proof\ safes was blown to pieces, Mr. Hicks has kept no money or other valuables jn his safe. _ Tlie Change iu tlie Sunday Fblice* Last week police Constable Wilkinson re signed Iris ofiicu. We commend this action pon bis 1 have him that would make the course a desirable one for him to pursue. Mr. Wilkinson has a family to support ;„lie has a pleasant situa tion as janitor of the-Town Hall, aud he is a Constable regularly, elected. There is no doubt but that efforts wjould havo been- made to remove him from his positions if he had continued faithfully discharging his duty as a Sunday Policeman. Wc our sorry to admit, as we must, that those efforts might havo been successful. Wilkinson, we believe, will be found to be an efficient officer, still. He did right in resigning where he found'that duty and interest would be continually con flicting and one impairing tbe other. Mr. Wm. A. Sloan has been appointed1 in liis stead. Tlie appointment is admirable. Mr. Sloan is uot a politician. He i9 very in dependant and gentlemanly as well. He will be firm an active. He has nothing to fear. The work could not be in better hands than iu those of Wiley and Sloan. Wiley has al ready proved his fitness. He has boldly said! and. shown that he would depend on the friends of good order for his support, fear lessly discharging his duty in all cases. Now the liquor men may organize and resolute un til dooraesday, but the friends of order have* the majority and will support all who- are- faithful in aiding to secure that desirable thing. as prudent, upon hi part, yet regret that any pressure could ltaVe been brought to bear upon. At a Special Fleeting of Protection Engine Co. No. 1, of Jamaica^ held at the engine house, on Saturday evening, July 1st, the following preamblesjand resolu tions were unanimously adopted: Wbei'eas, It has pleased Almighty God, in his inscrutable anil all-wise Providence, to take out of this world our friend and fellow- meniber, Stephen B. Bennett: and * Whereas, Under this afflictive dispensa tion, it is meet and proper that we, as a Com pany, should not withold the natural expres sion of our feeling*; therefore, be it Resolved, That while we bow and meekly submit ourselves to the will of God as seen in this bereavement, it is with unfeigned sorrow, thar we mourn over its occurrence. Risolved, That in the decease of our late- brother fireman, Stephen B. Bennett,, this Company has lost a valuable and efficient member and an earnest colabarer and friend. Resolved, That as a mark of respect for the memory* of deceased, the engine house he draped in the emblems of mourning for 30 day* Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting he published, and a copy be en grossed and sent td. the family of the de,, ceased. .
