ALMOST A BATTLE occurred at Elgiu on
Tuesday of last week. The constable, in the
exercise of his duty in taking possession of
some cattle belonging TO an abscouded contrac-
tor, was knocked down by an Irishman by whom
the were claimed. The balance of tue affair is
thus given by the Gazette.
He was Immediately taken into custody, and
falling to give the required bonds for his appear
ance, was taker to Jail while two or three Irish
men made off with the cattle to the best advan-
tage In the meantime companies of citizens
with firearms were organized and set out in pur
suit of the men and cattle-in wagons, on horse
back, and Oh foot. They had not made great
progress, when by well known signals the Irish
men in the public works were informed that
somethin was in the wind, and came running in
in from different directions and joining in con-
pany Of fifty or more with few guns, pursued
in hot haste. We began to think seriously ofa
battle, which probably would have occurred had
not the Catholic priest, who was informed of the
matter, FASTENED to overtake them and interfered.
He informed them of improperly of their course,
and marched them straight back to their work
The citizens pursued till night, but without sue
cess.

The Farmers Club in this vicinity, short
time since, passed vote directing the President
to use the surplus funds of the Club in pur-
chasing library of Agricultural Works. The
books are already on hand, and being read by the
members of the Club, and consist in part of the
reports and speeches of the N. Y. State Ag.
Society complete; and the reports of the Ameri-
can Institute of N. Y. City. The latter have
come in the shape of donation from that Socie-
ty, for which the club feel highly complimented
and only wait an opportunity to reciprocate the
attention. The reports of the Ohio State Ag.
Society have been sent for, which will be highly
interesting. Thus for a sum of about fifty Dol
lars, this club will have very pretty library OF
Agricultural Works, for the use and mental i'm
provement Of its members. And while they are
planting the seed in their soil, they can gather a
richer harvest from a well stored mind.
1t is understood that the committee on premi-

vor of awarding Agricultural Books to some ex-
tent, instead of money as prizes-this is also
well worthy OF imitation.

HARROR MEETING.

According to previous notice, large meeting
was held at the Court House, on Friday evening
last, to devise ways and means for completing
orr harbor
The Mayor, Col. Frank, was called to the
Chair, and d. C. GaskiIl was appointed Secre-
tary.
The object of the meeting was stated by J.
Bond, who moved that committee of three be
appointed by the chair to examine into the pres
ent situation of the Harbor, and to recommend
some suitable plan for its improvement, and to
report at an adjourned meeting on Saturday night,
the 18th.
After appropriate and animated addresses from
p. hudson, E. w. Evans, and others, the mo-
ton was carried unanimously, and Josiah Bond,
Serene Fisk and David Crost, were appointed
that committee
On Saturday evening, pursuant to adjourn
ment, the house was filled to OVERLOOKING. The
committee appointed the previous evening report
ed that the piers could be extended and raised a
sufficient height to protect the necessary chan
mel, for the sum of ten thousand dollars and
that channel feet deep, IT'S feet wide could
be made in the original channel ofthe creek with
out touching the clay, for $4,000; and that for
$40, 900 at the outside, channel could be OBJ
tanned deep enough, and sufficiently protected, to
admit any vessel on the Lakes
The committee recommended that a tax OF
$4,000 be raised by the city for the purpose Of
extending the piers, and offered resolution that
the Common Council be requested to order a
special election, according to the acquisitions of
the charter, of the qualified voters to determine
Whether they will raise tax of ten thousand dol
lars for harbor purposes, which resolution was
adopted almost unanimously, and on Monday
evening the City Council, pursuant to the re-
quest of the previous meeting, ordered special
election for the purposes aforesaid, to be held on
Monday the 3lst day of March, A. ID. 1851 at
which election the freeholders will vote "for tax
or "no tax"
