Latest By Mail. Kpscchei mi Harvard. Boston, June 27. At Harvard alumni dinner Presi dent Eliot in fitting language intro duced President Hayes. Mr. Hayes arose with apparent diffidence, stand ing for some moments before com mencing to speak. The Association favored him with nine vigorous 'Kabs," waived their handkerchiefs at him, and in many other ways ex pressed their enthusiasm and respect for him. He blushed like a boy, and evidently was laboring under intense emotion. When ho had obtained sufficient control over his faculties to enable him to proceed, he said slowly and with difficulty: "Grad uates of Harvard University, this is your day. I ought not to take up any particle of your valuable time. You will therefore excuse me, I am sure, if I take my seat, after saying in the briefest way what I feel in my heart. I assure you that I have a very grateful appreciation of this hearty greeting. I know bow iittlejt is deserved. God grant that during the remainder of ray term I may bo able to do something to de serve it. Dea failing and long-continued applause.

This sentiment provoked a renewal of applause, which was not silenced for some moments. The War in the Kant. New York, June 27.

The Rev. T. M. Ambler, ia appropriate words, presented the prizes to the young ladies entitled to receive them. The Ex celsior Medal, tbe highest prize in the school, was awarded to Miss Annie Von Glahn, for having" earned the largest number of golden merits during the session, thirty-one out of a pos sible thirty-eight.

Miss Mary Ambler was presented with the prize for the first class in composition, and Miss Florence Wood the prize for the second class.

The New Yacht. A large and handsome yacht, built after the most approved model, at tbe ship-yard of Messrs. Cass id ey & Ross, for Capt. I.

Lane and Walker, at the City Hospital, died Wednesday night from his injuries. The amputated mem bers seemed to be doing better than could have been expected, but from all appear ances he had also received some serious in ternal injuries, which did not develope themselves fully until it was too late to af ford the necessary relief. Latni Natar. Anthony Howe, J. f., exhibited to us yesterday a young chicken, just batched, which had four well developed legs and four wings, it was batched from an egg which the mother hen had left in the nest, and which was afterwards placed under the stove. It was alive when it first came forth, but it is supposed that the heat of the stove killed it It was a remarkable look ing specimen. Piillomatiioan Society.

We examined, yesterday evening, a queer specimen in the shape of a leather winged bat, which had been captured, and which had four young bats attached to her body and crawling about upon it, the ad hesiveness of the young ones to the mothe bat being such that it was with much diffi culty that they could be shaken off. They present a queer looking spectacle, aad Mr- R. F. Eyden has placed them in a cage for the examination of the curious. Thermometer Record. The following will show the state of the thermometer, at the stations mentioned, at 435 yesterday evening, Washington mean tone, as ascertained from the daily bulletin issued from the Signal Office in this city: Augusta, 90 Charleston,; 89 Corsicana, .94 Montgomery, 95 New Orleans, 92 Norfolk 68 PuntaRassa, 88 Savannah, 91 St. Marks, 97 Wilmington, 72 ttalveston, . . 90 Indianola, 91 Jacksonville, 97 Key West, 90 Mobile, 98 mysterious Case of Larceny. Some thief broke into a building in tbe vicinity of the Carolina Central depot, used for chemical purposes, a few nights since, and stole an ounce phial of arsenic, a quantity of nux vomica, and a lot of lead pipe. Tbe stealing of such a quantity of deadly poisons as was taken from the build ing in question has a mysterious look about it, and we hope our detectives will be on tbe look out to discover the thief. False Alarm. The tapping of the alarm-bell in the steeple of the Presbyterian church, yester day morning, which was undergoing re pairs, started (notwithstanding our caution) a cry of fire on the streets, and the Market bell commenced to ring, but was immedi ately stopped.
