ANOTHER PRoBABLs MURDER IN New
YoRK.-The latest tragedy in New York ap-
pears to have been the shooting of Mr.. Alex
ander Boyd, by burglar. The Express Of
Wednesday evening, gives the following par
ticuars:
"a bout two o'clock this morning, Mr. AL
exander Boyd, merchant, was awakened
from sleep by the noise made by two burglars,
whose names are given as Edward Landragan
and Francis Campbell, and aged respectively
twenty and twenty. one years, and who had
effected an entrance into his store. Mr.. BOYD
arose and drove the rascals from the building,
and pursued them, in order, if possible, to
secure their arrest.
The burglars, seeing that they were likely
to be captured, turned upon Mr.. Boyd, and
one of them fred three shots at him, from a
revolver, the balls lodging in his breast and
abdomen, inhicring wounds which in all
probability will prove fatal.
Mr.. Boyd sank to the pavement, where he
was found shortly afterwards, and conveyed
back to his residence in the same building
with mis- store, No rs West 18th street, where
Alderman Fullmer appeared and took the
ante mortem examination of the apparently
dying man.
The alarm was spread, and the alleged bur-
glar was pursued and arrested by officers
Roach and Cummings, of the 10th ward po-
lice. There seems to be no possibility that
Mr.. Boyd can recover from his wounds

THE CATTLE SHow.-The exhibition of the
Worcester County Agricultural Society will Occu-
pr two days, and we learn that inasmuch as the
lively interest manifested in the horse-fesh part
of the show, during the past two years, has had
tendency to throw the neat stock. sheep, pOrkers,
and poultry somewhat into the shade, an effort
is to be made, the present year, to devote one en-
tire day TO the equestrian part of the show
With such excellent arrangements as the Socie-
ty has provided in the enlargement of its grounds
and the grading of trottng course, we can see
no good reason why the owners of Worcester
county horses should not be permitted to show off
the good points of their animals to the thousands
who will be drawn hither at that time by the at
fractions OF the occasion, or why they may not
take few turns around the track in competition
with the last nags of other places. Rumor says
that a gentleman Of this city has a fast animal
tina. he would like to trot against the far famed
racer, Flora Temple, and that proposals to that
effect have been made to the owner of Flora
Such an exhibition would draw thousands to the
city, and il managed with the same propriety that
characterized the exhibition last year, we do not
see that any harm could result, either to the So
cietY or the public. We trust that the managers
of the Society will be willing to meet the wishes
of very large part of the community in this mat
ter, and if they cannot permit the horse show to
come in portion of the regular annual exhibit
ton, that they will at least afford the Of their
grounds, at a fair compensation, to any respecta-
BILE body of our citizens who desire to encourage
the breeding Of horses, anu have good time gem
orally at Cattle Show on the day after.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The Herald of to-day
says an extensive organization throughout Massa.
chm setts has been discovered drilled in the CT
the musket and bayouet, ~ well rs the use OF the
walking stick, su6divided into schools classes and
squads for the purpose Of resisting the execution
of the fugitive slave law.
This organization dates back to the Anthony
Burps' affair in Boston, and now extends to every
town and village in the State. Colored men are
excluded, and the total number of members is
known only to the five who form the Directory.
It's strength can be judged, says the Herald,
from the fact that the leaders now defy the Genes
raj Government to capture a slave in Massachu-
sets. outside of the range of the cannon Of the
Navy Yard. They have arms and ammunition,
and two schooners to convey fugitive slaves to
Canada, and aliege that there are several depots
