BsSF The first prize in the Grand Tour
nament of the Chess Congress at New
York, has been awarded to Mr.. MoRPHY
of New Orleans. Eight games were con-
tested with him by Mr.. PAULsEN, Of
which two were drawn, one was gained
by Mr.. PAULsEN and fve-the requisite
number-by Mr.. MoRPHY, who has. thus
approved himself the chess champion of
America.
The following discriminating parallel
between these two distinguished gentle
men, appears in the ~ T. Post;
The difference between Mr.. Morphy
and Mr.. Paulsen in their ordinary play,
seems to be that between genius and ia
lent. The latter is master of every COM
bination and evolution which the labors
Of his predecessors have introduced. The
former is an original inventor, and by I'M
| precedented man@uvres constantly dis
concerts every competitor. Mr.. Paulsen
plays, slowly and cautiously, guarding
himself securely against every known
form of attack. Mr.. Morphy is rapid, and
full of resources for every emergency. In
addition to his great talent for regular
play, Mr.. Paulsen possesses rare genius in
another direction. His peculiar feats APP
pear to depend upon a remarkable deve!-
opement of three faculties Of the mind
abstraction, memory and Imagination
By the first, he is able to shut out every
sensation, and fix his thoughts exclusive
ly upon the subject which is engaging his
attention. By the second, he keeps the
condition of the several games constantly
before his mind, and if he shall, by chance
have forgotten a position, is able to res
tore it, by going over the game agar
mentally from the beginning. By the
third faculty, he can represent to his
thoughts the chess board and its pieces
with all the vividness of perception. Mr.
Morphy is a slight young man of a high
ly organized nervous temperament, wht
reminds the spectator of Stafford, the Yer
mont mathematical prodigy.
The remaining sessions of the Congress
will be held at No. 10 East Twelfth street
The minor Tourney is yet to be decided
several points of chess law are to be dis
cussed, and the presentation of the prize
is to take place.-N. Y. Post.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Nan ,co17ied by
his o~n Dog.--On Sunday about II o.
clock Mr.. Lyle Brookover, Of Wayne
township, in this county while his family
were vt church, took two small boys, his
sons, va went into the woods, accom-
panic by a young dog. When they got to
the woods they discovered that an old dog,
which had been with the family eight Or ten
yaers, followed them. Mr.. B. ordered the
dog to go home, and took up a stick to
drive him, but when he struck the dog,
the dog made at his throat but falling to
reach it caught his hand and mangled it
badly, while Mr.. B. was endeavoring to
choke him off with the other hand. In
height the young dog came to the aid
of his master, and the old dog then, for a
moment, turned upon the young one, but
came Immediately back upon Mr.. B., thus
managing his hands and arms to horrible
degree. Once in the difficulty Mr.. B. es-
capped from the dog and tried to climb q
tree, but the dog caught him by the leg
and pulled him down again, and kept
worrying him as they both worked to-
ward home, until finally Mr. B. succeeded
in climbing upon a high fence beyond the
dogs reach. The dog then went home
by the road, and Mr.. B. crossed the field,
but upon arriving at the house the dog
met him again, he, however, by closing
the yard gate quickly, escaped, almost ex-
hausted, into the house. DR.. Moorehead,
of this city, has been closely attending to
the case, and reports the patient as i'm
proving. --ZdnesalI aurora.
