SCENE AT A PRIZE FIGHT.

A prize fight lately came off between Tom Daly
and Billy 111'Grath, at the Washoe race track,
Virginia. After 14 rounds had been fought, a blow
was struck which was voted" foul," which resulted
in the following scene :—" Harry Lazarus had been
betting freely on M'Grath, and was loud in his
denunciition of the referee, and everybody who
agreed with him in his decision. A Mexican named
Maldonado, alias " Muchaeb," had been betting on
Daly, and kept crying out that the blow was foul.
' Lazarus called him a liar, and pistols were immedi-
ately drawn. It is impossible to say who drew first ;
it was enough to do tog et out of the way. As soon
as Lazarus and " Muchach' commenced firing, two
or three other parties, joined in. About the ring at
this time were 1,000 or 1,200 men, a large number
of horses, in vehicles and otherwise, and the excite-
ment and confusion that ensued beggar all descrip-
tion. Ti,e firing and the deafening shouts and yells
of the combatants and surging crowd frightened
many horses, whose rearing and plunging served to
add to the danger and consternation of all in the
vicinity. Two horses were shot in the melee, and
theny the
ely wonder is that more men were not struck
random pistol balls that flew singing
theth ringrongh
the air in every direction. Returning to
we found it almost deserted, the wounded men
" Muchach" and Lazarup,
having
the saloon near the gate of the enclosure. b
een carried
Thithteor
we repaired, and found " Muchach" lying on a
table, stripped to the waist, with a ball hole in his
right breast close to the nipple, another near the
pit of his stomach, and we were told that another
ball had entered his side, and another struck one of
his arms. On another table, stripped likewise to
the waist, lay y Harry Lazarus. One ball struck hisn
in the breast, pretty high up, about two inches above
the right nipple ; another ball had so shattered the
fingers of his right hand that it was found necessary
to amputate two of them after his removal to
Washoe city. His hand was struck while he WO •
in the act of levelling his pistol, and it is thought
that the bail which entered his breast was the 011028
that shattered
.his fingers.—American paper.

to a depth of 12 centi-

solution of nitrate of silver in the proportion of 2 of nitrate
and 98 of water were introduced. About 12 grammes
penetrated into the respiratory organs; the consequence
was a violent fit of coughing with a feeling of
suffocation; but this fit only lasted two minutes,
and halfean-hour later the patient only complained
of a slight sensation of heat about the bifurca-
tion of the broachiea. All those who witnessed the operation
were astonished at the slight degree of inconvenience it had
occasioned. Prom that time the expectoration (Ili:climb-lied

and a further diminution of expectoration was perceived.
Hence it appears that the introduction of nitrate of silver
into the respiratory organs is attended with no danger, and
may be very beneficial.—Another member, Dr. Bourgeois,
described the good effects of breathing sulphurous waters a
