all three went nearly to the hall pole to Fiors's
lead, they got of on tie third attempt Ut the
tap Of the bell, Flora drawing the inside Ike
Cook lying outside, and Princess 10 the middle.
Flora took up the lead at once, carrying Ike
Cook off his legs at the frat turn, aud rolled
along up the back stretch, about half distance
ahead. Before reaching the half mile, Princess
who was going stitly, and not At all in her prop
er form, tapped Ike Cook, and gave him the 60
by, but failed ever to come near Flora, who by
| this time was getting through the third quarter
| in style which delighted every body, ani
caused the time keepers TO pay particular at
tefltion to their watches, on the sharp look out
| for another twenty t~o. As she swung into the
home, all eyes we're ihtently fixed On the one
object. and 40 she came down the last quarter
home, her wonderful rapid,iy Of action excited
tumul,ous shout Of admiration, and cries 10
McM 20 'shut them out" This she did,
| Ike Cook and Princess having been eased, aid
| at least a distance aud half of, ss she passed

St. Louis track, and one minute and quarter
faster than Lady Suiiolk's best lime.

A SNAKE SToRY.--A singular instance Of the

weeks since, on the farm Of Mr.. Kimble, on the
Eastern Extension road, four miles west of

down the spade at random, and, as il happened,
fair upon the snake, cutting him clean in tw D..
In looAing. the man could find but one hall, but

he had only nipped off the tail; after chopping il
into fragments, be laid it on the fence aud

about eighteen inches long. Nearly = week
subsequent, while working near the same place,
he was surprised to discover the other part Of
his snakeship, which consisted Of the head and
about six inches Of the body. Il was still alive,
and with the exception Of making pretty slow
time, seemed to be doing 40 veil as ever. This
snake had actually lived and travelled about for
nearly week, having lost three-ieurths Of lie

--latest News,

We received little news previous to We'd
nesday, almost too late for this issue. The
Hurh-Eye brings mass of dispatches, from
which we hastily Gull the most important
items:
EuRoPEAN.-Mr. Mason, minister to France,
died of APP oplexy. English papers trust to
settlement of San Juan difficulty, through
Gen. Scott's management. but assert the
claim of England, and call Harvey fill
buster. Italian affairs arc unsettled, but no
material change.
Great excitement exists at Harper Ferry.
The telegraph announces an attempted negro
insurrection, headed by Ossawattamie Brown
at Harper's Ferry, Va; that the Arsenal
was in the hands of the insurgents; that the
telegraph wires had been cut and railroad
trains had been stopped; that troops had
been sent from Washington and Baltimore,
the Arsenal storlned and Brown and his son
captured and shot Such is the heading.
The despatch says further along. that the
affair was greatly exaggerated, that it grew
out of difficulty at the Armory, and that
the negroes had nothing to do with it. The
Brown spoken of, it seems, was really the
Kansas Brown, who was possessed, so It is
said, with the insane idea that the negroes
would rise, and Virginia and Maryland be-
come free States.

The indecency ofmarching gangs Of foreign
ers to the Court House, there putting them
through the forms of naturalization on the
run and then marching them in body to
the polls to exercise the highest duty and
privilege of freemen, before the ink was dry
on their title deeds to freedom, was lustra-
ted in this Township on a wholesale scale on
the day Of the last election. Judge Flint,
himself having direct interest in the result
of the election, did this indecent thing, and
he did it we believe, without lawful author
