ternoon, in Albany, between the Dalton horse
owned there, and the Taylor horse, owned in
New York. The distance was twenty miles,
in harness. The Dalton horse made a waiting
race for seventeen miles, laying close to Tay-
lor's qnartcrs and taking it easy, aud at the
eighteenth mile Dalton drew ahead and main
tained it for mile, when Taylor ran past him.
going in few lengths ahead. The time for
travelling the twenty miles was one hour
twelve minutes and fifty four seconds. The
Judges decided the race in favor of Dalton,
who gets the stakes, in consequence of Tay-
lor's horse running. The horses are matched
for fifty mile race to come off at New York.

TIE ''MERRMAC'' SPECULATIoN.-Tbe fol-
lowing article from the Telegraph, printed at
Wyoming, Nebraska Territory, may prove in
teresting to some of our Clearfield friends >
SwINDLIHG.-Charles S. Gilbert is engaged
in swindling by selling lots in town called
Merrmac, or rather, giving number of them
away to make the rest more valuable, charging
only 81, to pay the commissions, stating that
the law requires consideration in deed to
make it valid. This was commendable fore
sight in him, and the thing looked SO fair, the
lots were readily disposed of. He sent his
plan and circular to the different postmasters,
requesting them to act agents; and as an
inducement, offered them a lot for every ten
they sold. We hear that in some localities
there many as so lots sold by one post
master. Some of the victims even were in
duced to come to the Territory for the purpose
of looking up and improving their lots. Now
for the information of all concerned, we in
form them that no such city Merrimac
exists, exceptin the prolific Imagination of the
said Gilbert; and that there is not a stake
stuck, nor the fine school-house, warehouse,
or steamboat landing, as he AYERS there is in
his circular, anywhere in the vicinity of the
place he designates Merrmac City to be To-
Gated. It is an unmitigated humbug, and
Charles S. Gilbert is an impostor. We would
advise our eastern friends to keep a sharp
look out for these spectators in city lots on
paper; for Gilbert is not the only one who is
engaged in such swindling operations.
