THE GLENGARRY GAMES.

The Glengarry Games were held last week at Duneancroy
At these sports Glengarry presidedlin all his glory ; and had the
field amost wholly to himself, the other judges probably conceiv-
ing themselves ill qualified to decide in matters which lay alto-
gether between the chief and the gentlemen of his tail. Its best
feathers were sported upon this memorable occasion : and it is
but fair to own that it swept all before it. The manly sports
and exercises of Highlanders are admirable things of their kind,
when kept in their own place. At Duneancroy the spectator
must have enjoyed the throwing of the hammer, putting the
stones, &c. and even the foot race, which was excellent, albeit
Southern delicacy might turn up its nose at the rather paradisical
costume of the runner.—Eight of these athlette started—not ab-
solutely in Macau's night gowns, whatever may he whispered
among the Ladies—but in shirts of rather ample dimensions,
considering the comparatively recent adoption of this Saxon
luxury in our country. The airy and well ventilated vestments
in question proved however their high antiquity in various
ways, and besides bore ample tokens of having seen abundant
service since last year's great bucking washing at Invergarry.
But shirts or no shirts, the fellows ran admirably, four of them
corning in skelpin-named, after having completed their eight
miles in fifty minutes. The tall, we regret to state, rather
failed in " lifting the stone," a Garry pebble of some 18 stone
weight, to be lifted and thrown over a bar placed more than
five feet from the ground. Some persons turned away, but
for our own parts, we see no possible objection to such an
amuesment except the trifling hazard of a man rupturing a
blood vessel, or breaking his back in attempting it. This teat
of " lifting the stone," was—tell it not at Fortwilliam—ac-
complished by a mere stone-mason, after having foiled all the
" pretty men" of Glengarry.—We are not quite sure what Lord
Erskine, Mr. Martin, and these sort of folks, might say to
another of our ancient sports, namely, falling upon a cow,
in the dead threw, and manfully tearing the still reeking ani-
mal limb from limb, by dint of muscular strength. Some per-
sons were, we saw, squeamish enough to be shocked by this
exhibition, and did not scruple to use the epithets " brutal,
disgusting," and so forth. We would assure such persons
that the three cows produced were, at any rate, stunned
by a blow of the sledge-hammer before the muscular
competitors began to wrench at their joints; and it is but rea-
sonable to think that some little remaining animal heat may be
necessary, since it does facilitate this difficult operation. Even
the most expert of the operators took from four to five hours
in rugging and riving, tooth and nail, before they brought off'
the limbs of one cow. This achievement was paid at the rate
of 5 guineas a joint, so that we hope this rise in the value of
black cattle will make the Glengary men some small amends
for the fall of ewes and wedders at Falkirk Tryst, lately noticed
by their chief. We undertand that Glengarry has it in con-
templation to give, next year, an additional ss. a joint to the
man who shall first eat up the raw limb he has torn off, allow-
ing "mountain dew," ad lUiituin, to wash down the hair.—

TURNPII,E ROADS.—lay the last general Turn-
pike Act, it is enacted, that if any " horse, ass, sheep, beasts,
or cattle of any kind, shall at any time be found wandering or
Icing about any Turnpike-road, or across any part thereof
(except on such parts thereof as pass through or over some
common or waste), it shallo net may be lawful for any Surveyor
of the Road, where the same shall be found, or any other per-
son or persons whomsoever, to seize and impound every such
horse, ass, sheep, swine, or other cattle, in the common pound
' of the parish, &c. there to be detained until the owner shall,
for every such beast, pay five shillings to the person impound-
ing, same, together with all reasonable charges for impound-
ing and keeping ; and in case of non-payment for four days, the
Surveyor of the Roads may sell such stray cattle, and supply
the receipts in discharge of these penalties." No windmill
cm be erected within 200 yards of any turnpike-road, under a
penalty of M. per day, so long as the seine is continued. Chil-
dren under the age of thirteen are not allowed to drive carts,
under the penalty of ten shillings.

AMERICAN CUTLERY.—We have now before
us three pocket or penknives, made at Pittsburg,
and commonly sold in the shops of that city and
its neighbourhood—a four-bladed knife, at 150
cents., a two-bladed knife at O'..q cents., and one
with a single blade at 1c21: cents. These are the
retail prices, and as low as knives of like quality
can be fairly imported and sold at. This is what
we did not expect. We have seen knives of
Pittsburg manufacture that cost 5 dollars, which
in every apparent quality rivalled the best pro-
ducts of Sheffield, at a similar amount of price ;
and excellent razors are also made at the same
place. These things are furnished by regular
manufacturers. We also observe extensive esta-
blishments at New York, wherein tailors' shears,
scissors, penknives, and razors are made, and
warranted to be of the best quality. One of the
great advantages of home manufactures is the di--
rect responsibility of the manufacturer to the
public—which is just as wholesome in itself in
a maker of razors as in a maker of treaties with
foreign nations, or in contracts that involve mil-
lions of the people's money.—(Birmingham Chro-
nicle, Oct. 10.)
