Charleston IS. C.l Races,

THIRD DAY.-The first race was two mile heats,
the favorite being Carolina, Marksman second in
favor and Dallas having some friends. The only
hackers of the Maid of Charleston put their money
up on her coming out the wrong side of the flag
the result proved the correctness of their opinions.
Marksman won the first heat with ease; in the
second, Dallas contested galantly but Intellectually
The second race was for the Hutchson stakes, two
mile heats. Sue Washington appeared to be very
unfortunate; a false start preceded the first heat,
when her rider unable to take her up before she
had ran mile On applying to the judges for time,
it was refused. In the second and third heats she
had bad starts, yet notwithstanding, in the last heat
she was so well up that the victor the heat only

AsUpposED WITCH FLoGGsD TO DEATH

We find the following very singular story in the
Brownsville, Texas, Flag. The transaction is
said to have occurred about a month ago.
1t seems that q young lady of Matamoras was
taken sick, and an old lady in the neighborhood,
reported TO have some skin in the virtue of herbs,
was solicited to visit and administer to the patient.
From some cause or other the old lady failed to at
tend, and suspicious reports were circulated that
the old lady had bswitched the young ons.-
The authorities were pe.itioned to compel the
attendance of the old one. Officers were sent to
take her before her supposed victim. and these
miserably ignorant wretches reported that they on
several occasions repaired to her domicil and could
not find her ut home but found instead u suspic,
ious looking black cat. After several efforts
however, they found the old woman at
home instead of her ca, and she was taken
t, the presence of the invalid. But her herbs
failed to restore the sick to health, and the med
dlesome cat persisted in following lis owner. and
being by the neighbors found in the room of the
invalid instead Of her mistress, fixed the opinion
fast in the minds of these ignorant people that the
old woman and black cat were enc and the same
person; that she, being 8 witch, could take tho
