raj exhibition in that city. The races monop-

they did at the Howeton exhibition. The
Boston Traveller says:
Ii horses start at the same instant, and run
trot, pace or gallop, at speed and in compe
tition, for half mile, mile, or "the best
three in five, and money whether purse"

lite phrase, is paid to the owner of the fas
test horse, it is horse race. The morality
of horse racing we do not intend TO discuss.
the laws indicate public opinion on the sub
ject and until that opinion is demoralized, it
will not be necessary for the secular press to
strive for its improvement Whit we Intend
to do is to show that this exhibition was simply
a horse race, and that it carried with il the
worst of the accompanying evils which make
horse racing a crime in The eye ofthe law

crossing tie Central Railroad track, imme-
diately west Of the bridge, with his two horse
:eam, the morning train going out came in
contact with it, killing his horses, breaking
his wagon and nearly killing him. We un
derstand that lie had three ribs broken and
was otherwise considerably injured; but we
are happy to say he is now considered out of
danger. The train did not whistle before
coming to tie crossing, and from the position
Of the road he did not see the train until it
was too lale to back off There should be "A
sign placed at that crossing, and trains should
be compelled to whistle before coming to it,
in order to give ample warning.

day on the Eaton and Hamilton Railroad, be-
tween Eaton and Hamilten--supposed to
have been set on fire by the locomotive.

susceptible at the same time Of beinr worked
upon and sharpened by any ordinary black
smith without any dangerof altering its shape,
and thereby spelling the "sst and run" Of the
pillow, difficulty which every farmer has ex

using wrought iron shear This arrange
ment is el tr ly new, and promises tc be one
Of great utility, as by this means the dura

possibility of its shape being altered in the
process of laying OF sharpening entirely done
away with. This discovery of MOULDING and
casting Cast Steel is one Of very late origin
and bids fair to be made Of very great and
