SECOND RACE:

The second race was decidedly the most inter
esting and exciting which has as yet been wit
messed. John Hopkins was the fayorite at 800
to 800 against the field, and the mare had the
call over Berry, who, having been distanced the
day before. and not beis.. supposed to be in good
condition. was considered as having Slim
chance to win, although enjoying the reputation
of being one of the best horses at two miles in
the country. The result of this contest shows
most conclusively how little dependence can be
placed in the opinions of those who pretend to
be au fat in every thing relating to Turf mat

Late st. John IN. b. papers state that fires
rage in the woods on both sides Of the, line be-
tween New Brunswick and Maine, having al
ready done immense damage. In Perry, Maine,
new brig nearly completed on the stocks was
destroyed.
The st. Andrews IN. b. Standard says the
forests in all directions are on fire. On many
farms houses have been burnt to the ground,
and the growing crops have also suffered, and
in one or two instances been totally destroyed.
In this neighborhood extensive fires are raging,
and unless some showers of rain fall there is no
saying what injury may be done.

ATTEMPTED AssAssINArIoN--.4 Mysterious
Afair.-While Major David NJ Fulton, of Cam

room at Cooper's Well, between IL and IL on
last Friday night, some fend entered, and
placing revolver close to his head, fired upon
him. The ball entered near the crown, passed
to the forehead. and was extracted the next day
The skull was not fractured, and Major Fulton
is considered in no danger, but it is almost q
miracle that he was not instantly killed The
assassin laid the revolver on the pillow to
create the impression that his intended victim
had committed suicide, and Immediately fed
Gentlemen who left the Well on Sunday say
that no clue had been obtained to lead to the
detection of the perpetrator Of this dastardly
and cold blooded. deed. Major Fulton, it is well
known, is an orderly citizen, and an amiable
gentleman, and was not aware that he had an
enemy. 1t is the impression that the assassin
made mistake in his msn-that he designed
to murder some one else.

ONE OF THE ABUSES OF LAw.-The last English
mails contain accounts of a case of legal oppres-
sion, such as by no means uncommon in that
country, A man named William Miller was
imprisoned for debt in Westchester jail, thirty
nine years ago. He remained there closely i'm
INJURED until the present year, having passed the
last three years and eight months in solitary
confinement. AT the age of seventy-one years,
after spending the greater portion Of his life
within the dark walls of his prison CELL he was
removed to the Queens Prison in London, where
he now enjoys comparative liberty Thirty nine
years prisoner! Could he be freed from his
confinement and permitted to 60 forth into the
busy scenes Of life, what wonderful changes he
would discover! Railroads, steamboats,, tele-
graphs, and hundred other remarkable invcn-
tions would arrest his attention, if indeed he
had sufficient intellect remaining, after near
forty years. imprisonment, to comprehend
them. An old man, past the allotted term Of
human life, he would go forth helpless wan
derer among the strangers of an unknown world.
