From Kingston Jamaica June &h we have this: A series of forgeries cl the most daring kind have been perpe trated at Kingston by a clerk in a provis ion store. The names of some of the lead ing merchants have been cleverly forged upon drafts which were discounted, and by an i accidental circumstance tliese vers brought to light. Meanwhile, while tlie magisterial examination was progressing the forger was admitted U bail, and is believed to have made his escape hum the fclaud, disguised as a woman, on board the American three mast schooner Elizabeth Magee from Old Harbor. Don Carlos lias bestowed wpon his son the title of.. Prince of Asturias. The lad is perhaps as much Prince ot Asturias as the enterprising Carlos is King of Spain, aud. it appears by no means impossible that between Uie energy and industry of the rebel chieftain and the inefScieocy of Alfonso, both titles may be made good. J udge Spenoe, assistant attorney gen- eral of the postofSce department, law furnished an opinion to the postmaster general, taking tlie ground that post masters are liable on their, bond for , losses oi government, property wluie in their possession. Tlie occasion of this decision was tlie 1 loss of a registered package ' containing,- $200 ' worth of stamps in transit through tlie ISoston postofSce. It is the first1 time that an opinion has been -givea holduig post masters responsible on their bonds for : the loss of governmeht property passing through tlie postofSce. - Dates to J une 28th from Detroit say: In the tornado last ntgbt, two. children were killed And fifteen persons severely liurt.

A number ot residences, business houses and other buildings were blown down, an i growing . crops all more or lews injured, Six new indictments have beenfbuiid against Wm. M . Tweed, Peter. R Sw. ny.

Eastern and Soutlieru Enroje are suffering from droughts. Prospects are favora ble to general abundance. Germany and England have the best prostects. Russia, Hurgary aiul France the worst. Tlie recent floods i.i France have caused great destruction of life and property. Hundreds of houses have been washed away, and families left homeless and penniless- Two hundred and fifteen dead bodies have been re overed at one place, and no one can approximate the number of lives lost. Paris autiiorities have appropriated means for the present relief of surviving sufferers.

He. was an eccentric and somewhat dissipated lawyer, by name, George IV. Gayle. It was in 1864 that lie pwblislied his assassination notice in tlie Cahawba Gazette not over his own signature, however. He ' was not worth at the time over a million cents.

Wliat a fine example is this. In the case of Mrs. Briggs, on trial at Jacksonville last week, the defend ant beiugfeharged with the murder of a schoolmaster, in Josephine county, the jury, after being out abont twelve hours, returned their verdict of man. slauglitcr. The counsel for the defend ant tlien moved for a stay of jitdgment and a new trial,' which was overruled. She was sentenced to a fine of $25 awl trie costs of the case and five years in tlie euitetiliavy. Counsel then gave notice of an appeal to the supreme court, and asked that j -ending tlie, appeal she be discharged on bail, which jwas granted, and bail fixed at $8,000, which was obtained.

Unlike tlie major portion of children j who would have heard the Mrange, event ful story and then turned open nionihed to thoughts of bread and blackberry jam, the child of our little narrative pondered on what she had heard. The result of hei brown study was some what as follows; "Mamma, s'pose you and papa and me had been iu the Gar den of Eden, ainl yon and Kia had eaten tlie for1idden fruit and 1 lia'ln't, then he and yon would have been turned out and I wouidd't. Do you know what I'd a-douc? I'd a-pitched flowers over the fence to yon." The mother told the child that tlie angels, would not allow any communication between &r ciits and child niider any circumstances. Tlen I'd eat the fruit and go with you," said the child. A letter from Galiee creek to Uie Jacksonville Sentinel says: "I found Uie ledge oened some thirty or forty feet from the water's edge (Rogue river), and is uncovered fifteen to eighteen feet, and is Well defined The wall rock on either side is of a dark green color, - while the ledge rock is white and very easily pulverized. Tlie ledge, wliere tliey are down on it tlie deepest, I should judge to be about two feet wide. One can clearly see that the Jcdge is getting wider as they go down on it, and I think they have sunk on tlie solid ledge from three to three and half feet. The entire ledge, as fit uncovered, is perfectly speckled wr. the precious metal. I took out one piece of rock weighing 1 pounds in winch no cola was visible to the eye. and after taking this to my residence on Slate creek and showing it to several liersons I concluded to break it open, and found the inside almost lined with gold. - I think Uie bar where the ledge is not more than one hundred yards in width-aui up to this time I do not know that it has been discovered ion tlie mountain, which is very steep and at least diie thousand feet high, but they have traced it across tlie river, and have just the same kind of rock - and very rich with gold. A stranger with no guile in his face, an overcoat on his shoulders wandered into a clothing store in Newport tlie other day, and asked it lie could be fitted wan a spring overcoat. Tlie proprietor promptly answered in tlie affirmative. "You speak very pos itively, replied the stranger.

It has since been learned that this man wears a lead jacket, and has been making an honest living by playing his senrvey tncic on unsuspecting dealers in clothing. , He came from Colorado.

Sardis, Miss., Jnne 17, 1875. Last summer while I was enjoying aud fattening on the delightful aud in vigorating climate of Oregon as well as the grouse and mutton, fur both of which I confess to a weakness tlie weather ,va9 so intolerably lwt down liere that my thermometer gt broke. I am nibble therefore to tell you pre ciselif how liot tlie weatlier is, and if I were to nndenake to describe it, I know I should fall so far. short ot doing the subject justioe, as to give you a very inadequate and unsaUsfactory idea. Indeed, you couldn't appreciate it "no how tor, while I was in Oregon and receiving letters indicating a tempera ture here of 94 degrees at day break, I confess I "couldn't see it," nor did I care to strsiu my imagination any more than you will yours. Just let me say this I am iu my shirtsleeves, and otherwise more thinly clad than was any one I saw iu your State during tlie mouth of August, and yet I am so uncomfortable that I am a!most pining for a "Georgia uniform," less tlie spurs and shirt collar. Iu such weatlier yon can veryeaily imagine there's no fun in writing letter for a newspaper, or doing anything else ex cept drinking' iced lemonade or sorue oUier cooling draught. But, I am al most ashamed to croak since as fat a man as Bishop Kavaijingh (wlio y u liave seen and heard in Albany) has been able to liold Conierence and per form all the duties of presiding officer during the day, aud then preach an able and indeed I may say jtomerful sermon at night, giving us the clos ing one last night. I don't know how iu the world he stands it, but I dare say he is materially aided and sustained by the thought of going to the Pacific coast iu August. Don't I wish I was good enough to be a Bishop and tnts one! Jlow I'd maneuver fhr a fixed assignment to duty an the the Pacific coast! But, alas! a l I can do now is to envy Bishop Kavauaugh, who will be at Brownsville on the I5th of Sep tember, and from there will come back to California to hold two Conferences in October. Hie Bishop and his good lady, in telling me the other day of their former vist to Oregon, said they were guest of Mrs. Delazou Smith, while Mr. P. C Harper was in- the habit of hanging up his hat there, ami tliey knew him well, and were rejoiced to learn that boUi he and Mr. Price had recently connected themse'ves with Uie church. Tlie good Bishop is glowing iu his praises of Uie glorious Willamette valley, aud think you are blessed with a climax unsur passed, if not unequalled, iu the world, and I agree with him most unquali fiedly. You wonder, no doubt, why I am not on my way thither. My ans wer is that of hundreds aud tliousands of others in this country "cau't sell. On Monday last three prominent families left this place a d vicinity for California, viz : Capu R. W. Cmmp, Dr. J. Ii. Paine and Dr. W. B. Wall. Tlie first expected and designed going to Oregon, but was professionally ad vised that the climate of California will suit him best, aud lie will stop at Santa Rosa. I send a copy of tlie Western Meth- oditt. published at Memphis, " which gives an account of the parting scenes here. Tlie editor - was , litre and witnessed Uie whole of it. New wheat is coming iu to market, which is a decidedly "new departure" in this section ot country, for, except during the war when there was no chance to sell cotton and tens a cliaiice, and pretty good one, to lose it, I don't remember wlien I have seen any i wlieat ui this market, nor, indeed, when our peopled id not have to bug bread and bread stuffs. I regard, it as a favor. able sympton that more attention is be ing given to the raising of borne .com forts aud necessities and esjteeially tlie "staff of l"ife.n - Ever; since Uie wst it lias been the curse of ; the southwestern or "cotton States" that, tliey could see no money iu anything but cotton, and preferred tc go in debt aud raise cotton and buy everything else, rather than diversify their crops and raise their own meat and bread, Wlieu this "one idea' is abandoned down liere, pros, perity will begin to dawn on the South, and not before. All sensible people are rejoicing already over the cheering sign I have mentioned ; and in addition to this, the prospect for corn and cotton is onuBua'ly good. The average acreage of tlie latter is less, and of. the former more than any of several preceding years. ; I have been all along vxpectiug and hoping to be domiciled in Albany ere this date, bat now I See that my move must be necessarily arid "unavoid ably postponed."

If there are more than one, send 'em along, and I'll guarantee to supply all, and then, we'll "go West. . - But, keep that railroad question be fore the people. We heed more rail way i Oregon and must have it. I don't suppose there is a mau in the whole State who doesti't see that Uie prosperity and growth ot the common wealth depends in a very great measure upon Uie building of a railroad from some point ou the Central Pacific to some point in Oregon where railroads are already in operation. Why cannot tlie gap be filled between Bedding and Roseburg? I dotit like to hear tlie word ucantn applied to any important ente rprise in such a country AS lies-beyond Uie Rocky Mountains.' It is not in harmony with the genius ot the people, and it is a slur upon the invig orating climate in which I feel certain a man can do four or five times as much work as lie can here, and with less fa tigue. 1 hat railroad connection must- be built somewhere, and it m going to be mark what I say wliethcr I and mine have the benefit of it in going out or not, nirely coming t and I, for one, say posh alicad with it, for Oregon will never be all that a beneficent Cre ator cut it out for, till connected by iron bands with the rest of the world. SOUTHWEST. Hie Brerbr-1 lltoa Nenndal. Another turn of the wheel, bringing about more complications. Yesterday (Tuesday) Joseph Boeder "was arrested, j charged with perjury. Price appeared and made affidavit that he did not! know Iloeder previous to 1872, and j knew nothing about Tilton's house' until recently. The Wrlt says reJ gardiirg tlie Ixedcr-Price.leecher story, the proof already iu the hands of coun sel tor defense, it is alleged, warrants the-gravest suspicion of a widely ex tended conspiracy, which would include the prii ej al m the suit and his most pit niii.ei.t witnesses as aiders and aliet tor. No charge, liowever, has been made, nr will further evidence bo pub lished till it has taken more complete form. That already brought forward is sufficient to show the statements ot th Leder and Price are without foundation of any sort, and deprives the evidence of tlie slightest c'aim to credi bility. Beside the liad character ot Locder the chief points of the rebutting evideitce consiM. in the fuel? that Loeder was not working in Brooklyn or resid ing in Brooklyn or New York in 18G9, when he alleges the offense was com mitted. His acquaintance with Price was not begun until two vears later, and tlie latter dejMiscs he was never in side Tilton's house, the itecessary ac quaintance with the doors and windows being sained from a diagram shown him by Morris, the attorney for the defense. .
