During the whole of the first round the wind was
very light. On the second round, after all but the
spirit and Minnehaha had passed the first stake,
squail came out from the westward, which, for some
minutes, gave nearly all of them as much as they
could stand up to it proved too much for the Spirit
OF the Times as, soon after passing the stakeboat
she capsized-no other damage done except losing
the prize which was almost within her grasp Assist
ance was promptly rendered, and she was towed
alongside of the stake-boat, rghted and baed out,
when she looked as good as new.
The Mnnehaha settled away her nainsai and came
to anchor, taking the heaviest part of the squall
under bare poles. s
The wind that came with the squall kept up long
enough to bring the Coquette home winner Of the
race, and then in measure died out, so that those
behind came home slowly and surely. All else that
need be said is comprised in the following

fellow about four years old, who will not allow him

TIE GREATEST NATURAL BRIDGE IN THE WORLD.
The Abingdon Virginian contradicts the statement,
recently published, that 1.-THE greatest natural bridge
in the world is that Cedar creek in Virginia. 1t
extends across chasm SO feet in width and $50 feet
Deep at the bottom of which creek flows" The
Virginian says: The writer is mistaken, not as to
the dimensions of the bridge but as to the fact Of s
being the greatest natural bridge in the world
There is natural bridge within % miles of this
place, in Scott county, Va, compared with which, the
bridge over Cedar creek is mere circumstance. The
so feet in width and is 42O feet Deep at the bottom
of which flows much larger and more rapid stream
than Cedar creek The arch OF the Scott bridge IS
not so perfectly formed that of Cedar creek but it
is not less bridge, with broad wagonroad located
upon it. The survey for the Cumberland Gap railroad
passed through the arch of this bridge. 1t is per-
haps the widest and most stupendous natural curl
osity in the United States and yet is comparatively
unknown

for the week. One day. through press OF business,
allowance, and through street and warehouse, mart
and exchange, the dog followed his master. who
wondered at such unusual attendance At last, sud
denly ensconced in his Office chair, the broker had
time to recoect the cause of honest Beppos pertina-

threw it to the dog, expecting to him depart as
usual. But to his surprise and annoyance the dog.
placing his fore paw upon the note gave four sharp
barks in rapid succession and continued this interest

the note and found the of the noise explained

Chicago has been always considered " fast city,
but recent public developments show it to be little

FROM TEyAs.-Through the polteness of the gen.
tlemen of Jones & Co.'s Express, we have Galveston
papers to Sunday last.
The election for Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
ETC., took place in Texas yesterday.
From the Civilian of Saturday last, we extract the
following:
Although corn has been greatly injured by drought
in this State, and cotton is backward fair crop of
the latter seems now to be almost certain, though
particular neighborhoods have suffered much from,
unfavorabe weather. The crop will, doubtless, be
much larger than that of the year now closing.
Cotton still arrives slowly at this port and the re-
ceipts will doubtless continue small until the new
crop begins to come forward. The receipts this week
have been only 2l2 bales The market was favorably
affected by Mondays accounts and an advance Of 1c
is reported.
