A stupid and unfeeling hoax was perpetrated on some of

the morning papers of Wednesday, who received and inserted a false announcement of the death of Lord Drumlamig. It is expected that the scoundrel who concocted the hoax will be discovered.

Mr. Denyse I. Denyse, one of the few surviving heroes of the American Revolution, died at his residence Flatbush, Indiana, on the 20th of July. Ile was born in the town of New ,Utrecht on the 18th of October 1760, and was consequently ninety-six years of age. He participated in the battles of Long Island, Trenton, Princeton, and was present in several other contests. In the war of 1812 he received a captain's commission, and was stationed at Fort Green. He was also present at the evacuation of New York by the British.—.Arew York Herald.
