Prize right Cor 81 900 side.

Frum the New YORK Times
Yesterday morning the news PREVAILED
on the authority Of the police---that prize
fight which had been announced to come OIL
ut Flatbush, l.. l., had been prevented by
the police. II seems, however, that tho po.
lice only prevented il in classical sense
coming away before discovering the place.
The encounter was for II III 900 u side, and
lasted one hour and ten minutes We clip
from the Brooklyn Eagle Of last night tho
particulars
The party had selected little plot oi
ground beside an old unoccupied barn on the
farm Of Mr. Peter Debaun, about three quar-.
ters OF mile from the village of Flatbush.
Tie barn Is situated on fhd roa,i lict dads
from Flatlands TO Flatbush.
The party, to the number Of 90 or 60, ar.
rived there little before sunrise, and the
ground being staked out and surrounded with
u rope SO as 10 prevent the crowd from com.
ing too near, the principals stripped them
selves and took their positions. The seconds,
bottlehollen and timc-tceker placed them.
selves In proper order aud the fight COM
mcnced.
Both men were Of large size and well pro
portioned and TO the Impractical eye one
seemed in as good condition as the other.
They went at il in good earnest. and fought
one hour and ten minutes, when both BIC.
came so exhausted that they could not move.
Their respective partizans picked them up,
and placed them in carriages. Their faces
were beaten into undistinguishable shapes,
and their bodies were covered with blood
40 as 20 present irightiul and revolving
picture to the bcholder
The Sons Of Mr. Ryder, who own the nj
joining farm, saw that something strange
was going on, and repairing to the spot, were
surprised TO find themselves witnesses of n
genuine prize fight.
The stakes were one thousand dollars
side, but as the fight appears TO have been
drawn one, In which one showed himself
IA good az the other, the stakes will proba.
bly, be retained until another occasion pre-.
scnts itself for either one or the other OF the
principals TO prove himself the best man.
Th, party left their sponges, some empty
bottles and other traps upon the ground,
| which spot pro~,nts tho appearance OF hay
ing been the scene OF the slaughter Of some
animals.
They were not intcriercd with by any one,
but had all their sport to themselves and 10
their own satisfaction.
The names Of the principals in the fight
are Cbas. Ross, Of West Broadway, New
York, and John Casey, Of Troy, \. Y.
Both are large, athletic men, and capable ol
bearing any amount of pummeling.
The friends Of Ross claim that there were
too many OF Cascys friends on the ground
or else he would have been the victor while
the friends Of Cascy claim that he is the
best man. The fact appears TO be, howey-
er iha, both the contestants were about
equal in strength and the power oi enjur.
ancc aud both were 50 much exhausted
that they could not injure each Other any
more.

From the Newburgport Mass, Herald
More than four -sevenths Of the marriages
in Massachusetts are among the foreign born
Why is it! For the most simple Of reasons
the foreign born can afford to get married
and the native born cannot and this must
be, so long as our extravagant modes of life
continue. In social life there never was
people tending to deeper and more destruc.
tive social corruption that is most evi
dent from the records Of all the courts and
the columns of all the newspapers-th
Americans. Our fathers used to tell Of the
prohigacy Of Paris their children tell Of
the mysteries of New York--a city not far
behind any in Europe. And making pro-
per allowances for size, how far is New York
ahead OF our other cities and towns Once
was the time when wife was "help
meet :" now in a thousand cases you can
change the "mect to eat and make ii
read more truthfuIly.
We boast of our system of education :
we have female high schools. female colleges,
female medical schools and female heavens
Our girls are refined, learned and wise they
can sing, dance, play pianos, paint, talk
French and Italian, and all the soft langua.
ges, write poetry, and love like NeDuses.
They are ready to be courted at ten years,
and can be taken from school and married
at fifteen, and divorced at twenty. They
make splendid shows on bridal tours, can
cOquette and nirt at the watering.places,
and shine like angels at the winter parties.
But Heaven be kind to the poor wretch
that marries into the fashionable circles.
What are they at washing floors? Oh, we
forgot nobody has bare floors n0w-how
vulgar that would be What are they at
making bread and boiling beef! Why,
how thoughtless we are--tO be sure they will
board, or have servants. What are they at
mendng old clothes But there We are
again the fashions change 80 often that no.
body has old clothes but the rag men and
paper-makers now. What are they at
washing babies faces, ani pinning up their
trousers And here our intolerabIe stupid
i,y once 1re; having children is leit TO the
Irish
What lady thinks Of having children
about her, Or if she is so unfortunate,
don't she put them 10 nurses to begin with,
and boarding schools afterwards? We re-
peat-we have come 10 point where young
men hesitate and grow Old before they can
decide whether they can marry, and after
wards keep clear Of bankruptcy and crime.
What is the consequence There are more
persons living single lfe--are there more
leading a virtuoas life II is time tor
mothers TO know that the eSiravagance they
encourage i. destructive Of the virtue OF their
children that all the foolish expenditures
making to rush their daughters to inasrimo-
ny, are, instead Of answering that end, tend
ing 10 destroy the institution OF msirimony
altogether.
