PRIzE FIeHTINe.--Two Yagabonds or
rather beasts in human shape, last week
started from this city, in steamboat, &C.
companied by bottle holders, time-keepers
umpires, black legs, and rowdies in gem
erai, for the purpose ofknocking aud bang
ing each other, not to crafty any malice
or to settle any quarrel but solely for the
sum of two hundred dollars for the win
nerl To understand boxing or the "art
selfdefence," as il called, for the pur.
pose OF chastising insolence, or to protect
ones self when attacked, in an accom-.
plishment. But when it is fought forano
other purpose than to rear prize fghterer,
fill the pockets of gamblers. and mako
rowdies, the sooner the teaching ofit is
dispensed with, the better for society,"
The vagabonds in this instance were
named Wilson and Stewart Well aware
that since the the death ofMcCoy, who
was killed by Lilly in prize fight in
Westchester county. prize fighting is a
state prison offence in this state and in
New Jersey. they went into the usually
quiet state of Connecticut, 10 pound each
others faces and black each others eyes.
After fighting eighty.five rounds, as they
are technically termed, occupying some
two hours, the sheriff of Fairfield county,
having raised posse, made descent up.
on the ring, when the fight was broken
up, and the parties came back to this city,
leaving two or three of their number in
the hands of the sheriff. On Thursday,
they again made another attempt to finish
their battle, crossing Westchester county
into Connecticut, where Stewart was de-
cIared the winner in the sixtieth round
1t is said by the '.knowing ones" that It
conld hardly be called ougilistic en-
coaater according to the rules ofthe Eng
lish ring. neither efthe combatants know
ing much about fighting. We hope
the authorities of Connecticut will make
a requisition for the two brutes and their
abeltor5, and give them chance of
cooling their lighting propensities by a
few mofiths'iabor ia WeathersfeId state

steamboats, that let them out to convey
rowdies to such sssport,1 are almost as
bad as theaparties thcmselves.-Noa

Tho Gnalogies of the first American en-.

serpent an emblem of wisdom, and in
certain attitudes, of endless duration.
The rattlesnake is properly az emblem of
America, as this animal is to be found in
no other part ofthe world. The eye of
this creature excels in brightness most of
any other animal. She has no eyelids,
and is therefore an emblem of vigilance.
She never begins an attack, nor ever sur
renders; sbeis therefore an emblem of
magnanimity and true courage. When.
injured, she neverwounds until she has
given notice to her enemies oftheir dan.

herkind only when it is necessary for
their preservation. Her poison is at once
the necessary means of digesting her
