HARPER'S WEEKLY, New York, Aug. 5, 1865  The front page has prints of: "The Late Right Reverend Alonzo Potter" "The Late Rev. Newton Heston" and "The Boat Race at Poughkeepsie, New York". Prints inside include a full page: "Reception of the German Singing Societies at the City Hall Park" and: "The Launch of the Ironclad 'Dunderberg". There are several prints of "The Revolution in Hayti" including: "Cape Haytien" "A Street in Cape Haytien" "Corps D'Afrique, Port-Au-Prince" "A Belle of Cape Haytien" and "Views In Hayti".
