TIE WonLD's FAIR At New, York
The plan of serving up here sort OF
cold hash Of the Great Exhibition was
talked about good. deal last Spring,
but has laltcrly not been heard Of, and
we supposed had been abandoned alto
gc,her. We find it, however, reproduced
in Paris letter, published in the Augs-
burg AHgemeine Zeitung, in more posi-
tive form than ever. We are there told
the agents of some of the leading CON-
mercal houses of Ncw-York lately ar
rived in London on this business, and
that they have made the necessary ar
engagements. I'll greater part OF the
foreign exhibitors have gladly acceded
to plan which offered them the chance
OF Il market in the New World for the
things they have not been able to sell
in England, good as has been their luck
in that respect The exhibitors from
Austria, Russia, Belgium, Holland,
Spain, Sardinia, Tuscany and the Pa
pal States, as well as from the entire
Zollveren; have agreed to the plan and
have named Mr.. Buschek, the President
of the Austrian Exhibition Committee,
to represent their interests iu the mat
ter, and he has gone to Vienna to con-
fer with his Government on the subject
On his return, he will stop in Paris 10
assist in the arrangements for French
cooperation in the scheme, which is pref
ty certain of being obtained, the nego-
tia,ions having already been opened
All the articles remaining after the close
of the London Exhibition are not to be
sent. but only the more choice and ad-
mirable among them.
We give this story for what it is
worth. FIT be true, il is queer we have
heard nothing of all these arrangements
by some more direct source than anews-
paper in the interior of Germany.-M

tween 8 and 0 o'clock. While there en-.
gagged, he heard noise among the fowls,
and started towards them. At the same
time he saw man run, and as he was
getting over the lence, fired al him
The man fell and according to Mr. Pratt's

four fowls ran away as he fell On
