SHARP PRACTICE At NIAGARA F.LLs-The Niagars
Falls Times says that Mr.. Webster of the American
Hotel, at Niagara city, formerly resident o
her Britsnc Majesty's ProyiI D. of Canada, butt
moved suddenly into the United States, leav-
ing his creditors to whistle for $4,000. And
that wasn't all. He was in the habit of visit
ny Cliff ton on the Sabbath day, at which time he
could not be arrested. Recently reward of 1000
was offered to any person who would place Mr.. W.
in the hands of the authorities. On Sunday last,
Mr.. W. visited Clifton as usual, when Mr.. Peck
eyinced great interest in that gentleman's welfare
by treating him literally till he became intoxicated
when it was very easy matter to get up dispute
with him, which resulted in fight, and Mr.. Web
ster was arrested for disturbing the peace. Of
course the only object of the whole affair was to
have him detained until the following morning
when he WAS again arrested as abscondlng
debtor.

on the llth inst, five days after her defeat for the
Goodwood cup. The result of this race confirms
the statement of Gpatrick to the bad condition
nf the mare when he rode her. and exoRerates him
from the charge of want of judgment in the race
IT the Goodwood race was lost for the want of con-
dtion, five days was not enough to make her right
for the Sussex, no matter who rode her.
