Fast Time.-The Executive Committee of the
central Agricultural Society, in changing the
premiums for fast trotters, have SO complete
" smut out all but the very best in the land,
mat little or no competition may be expected
unless they reconsider their action. To secure
the premium Of $50 for the fastest time, the
winner must go in ftco forty. fire or less, and
this. too, on half mile track, and that a new
and untried one Flora Temple or Princess
might make ii in good day, but we incline To
the opinion that neither Of them could do il
II the weather was at all untayorable. For
the second prize, the winner must not exceed
SIX years OF age, and must 60 in three minutes
or less. Three minutes on good course and
good day may possibly be made by q young
'un, but everything must be exactly right to
enable him to do so.
The most attractive feature in Agricultural
Fairs is the horse department and the Execu-
tive Committee, in making their arrangements
ought to endeavor to interest all owners OF
fine horses in 1t, so as to secure as many trot-
ters for the occasion as possible. To do this
they Will have to remove all restrictions rs t0
time, and give the premium to the fastest
horse that enters for 1t, even though he should
take four minutes to 60 his mile. Either do
this, or give additional premiums, or the trot-
ting track will be shorn OF its interest.
We would suggest to the committee the fol-
lowing premiums for fast trotters, which will
satisfy all parties interested, and ensure q
large number of entries:
Special premium of $3.50 for the fastest
horse, mare or gelding. the speed to be tested
by time, which must not be less than 245.
Special premium of SO for the fastest horse
mare or gelding, not more than years Old the
time to be not less than three minutes.
Premium of SiU0 for the fastest horse, mare
or geiding, of any age.
Premium of s25 for the fastest horse, mare
or gelding, not over years old.
Premium of S25 for the fastest S year old
horse, mare or gelding.
Premium of s25 for the fastest year old
horse, mare or gelding.
Premium of SIS for the fastest 3 year old
horse, mare or gelding.
By making changes similar to those emu
meratsd, trotting stock of all ages will be re-
presented, and the trotting track alone will
attract thousands Of visitors.

called upon to chronicle, happened at Gilbert's
soap factory, on Delaware street, near Baker.
The name Of the victim was Hugh Hurley, a

children. During the afternoon of yesterday
one of the workmen in the factory, when
passing one of the large watts in which lye was
boiling, observed man family struggling in
the bubbiing liquid, and giving the alarm, the

Hurley-was drawn out, his fesh fairly boiled
He opened his eyes as he was laid down, gave

FIGHT WITH INDIANs-Fifty KiNsd.--1t has
been stated that fight occurred on the 4th
ult, near Fort Mohaye New Mexico, between
Major Armistead, with twenty-five United
States troops, and large body of Indians, in
which fifty of the latter were killed. The In
dians surrounded the troops, and were driyen
off, but, when the soldiers were returning to
the fort, made another attack. The Los An

"The command had not proceeded far when
the Indians again rallied, and crossed the Ia

AN EAGLE BEATEN BY CRows.-A cores
pondent of the New York Journal of Com
merce, writing from Geneva, August 25th says
that on the 18th of that month a remarkable
sight was seen on the east side of Seneca Lake,
opposite Geneva. About nine in the morning
a large eagle was seen over a wood on the edge
of the lake, vigorously pursued by three crows,
two of which were frequently pecking at his
back. This assault continued for sometime,
the eagle all the time trying to escape from
them, in which he finally succeeded, and got
high up in the air, when the crows gave up the
pursuit and returned to their wood. Soon at
ter another eagle (probably his mate) came
from a wood up the lake. when the higher one
swooped down and joined it, and they both
flew off towards the south, and neither party
We're seen afterwards. The crows had proba-
bly, nest of their young and had courageous
ly defended it, and pursued the eagle that came
alone. Compared with the eagle, they looked
as much smaller as the kingbird is smaller
than the crow, which he sometimes is seen to
attack in a similar way, and probably for a
similar reason. But this is the first instance
have ever known ofany bird having the cour-
age to attack an eagle,
