RACING ScENE.-In the contest for the Dee stakes
at the Chester (Engand) races, exciting scene oc
Cured. Just the foremost horses we're nearing the
winning post, the attention of the spectators was d
verted from them, and directed to the fallen horses
and riders, who sprawling all the course,
and surrounded bya closely ycompacted crowd. Sum-
merside was the first to go down; Maid of the Mist fell
over her, and directly afterwards Wells scrambled up
but in the next moment Rainbow, who was just com
ing through with his horses struck Wells and bis mare
and fell heavily, Benbow and Aston rolling over Sum-
merside nearly simultaneously. Wells had to be
dragged from under Summerside, and he was placed
in fly. Ashmall the rider Of Benbow, was conveyed
in mems arms into the weighing stand. Maid of the
Mist galloped past the stand in the wake of Acmon
and Independence. Cresswell remountcd Aston, and
also rode home. Only Wells and AshmalI we're seri
ously injured, but the horse Rainbow was left dead
upon the course, with his neck broken, and com.
pound fracture of the thigh Ashmall had serious
hurts, beyond severe confusion OF the ribs and
thighs, and Wells has conclusion of the brain but
he is going favorably. All classes of spectators
seemed impressed with the serious nature of the acci
dent, and paid little attention to the races which

a Girl OVER THE FALLs.-The Auburn On. Y
American Of the 23d has the following:


In the afternoon of yesterday Sunday young
lady by the of Wealtha Paul attempted to
over the outlet, just above the " Hackney Falls"
When midway of the temporary narrow structure,
thrown the stream few rods above the falls to
aid in constructing substantial bridge, she became
dizzy, and with scream fell into the rapid water,
which bore her on, with the speed of race horse
over the falls in the foaming, boiling whirlpool at
their base Her sister, who happened to be present.
Immediately gave the alarm.
Among those who congregated at the spot was
Young man by the name of VIM. Marks, resident of
Clarksvie. The girl was still whirling in the water
at the foot of the falls and the excitement had be-
come intense. Yonng Marks, remarked, ''Wait, she
will soon come out of that He Immediately pre-
pared himself to leap in after her. Waiting till she
was elected from the whirlpool by the force of the
water, he jumped in-with one arm he grasped her
and raised her head above water, while with the
other he managed to swim to the shore, where, by
the help Of another person, she got up the steep
bank aud conveyed to o house in the neighborhood,
when prompt aud vigorous aid restored her consci
ousneSs
1t noticed that while she was in the water she
did not entirely sink--her head and feet being under
waterwhe the rest of her body hoated on the sur.
face this was owing to her hoops, which not only
kept her from sinking but rendered valuable assist
to her rescurer in buoying her up; while he was
conducting her to shors.

RELICS OF AN ANCIENT RAcE.-An Indian arrow
head, made of stone at the present day was lately
picked from the solid cement in the claims of Lewis
u HscoX, at Buckeye Hill, at depth of eighty feet
from the surface and about one foot from the bed
rock. This little relic of ancient Diggerdom was
really found as described. Its discovery in such a
position certainly indicates high degree of antiqui-
ty for the aborgnes of California, for the geological
changes necessary to bury the arrow head beneath
hill must have occupied very many ages. Even if
the hill were the result of slide from some greater
hight, such slide must have occurred centuries ago,
is evident from the large growth of pine and other
trees onnd on the spot and the many evidences that
this is not the first growth.
Another arrow head was recently found three
feet deep in bed rock crevee beneath solid dirt at
the mouth of Moonshine Creek, near Frceman's
Crossing.
In gazing upon these simple objects, one cannot
escape the conviction that they are the dumb memo
,ials of a people who roaned these mountains in a
condition similar TO their existing descendants, at a
period more remote than the dawn of authentic his
tory. Even the Chinese race may not be as venera-
BILE as that OF the humble Digger Indian.

THE NEW SUMMER.

THE NEW SUMMER
- -
To-day begins the summer Of so:
"Child OF the sum- refnlgent Summer comes,
T. pride Of youth a1d tel. through NATURES depth
And ever fawnlne breezes on the way;
Averis her bashul face and earth, and skies
All smiling, to his hot dominion leaves"
Already the watering places becoming populous,
and crowds daily leaving the city to reap great
harvests of health and enjoyment the breezy coasts
of the gulf or its broad bays-at Point Clear at
Mississippi City, under charge of mine host of
Barnes Hotel; at Ocean Springs, trusting to the
of Messrs E. w. Geer & Co.; at Pass Christian, re-
posing full confidence in the landordly hospitality of
John Mcdonnell; at Vaudeville under the roof Of the
Lake Shore Hotel Other crowds preferring the quiet
and rural aspects of interior resorts packing
their kits preparatory to asoourn at Cuums Springs,
away in Choctaw county, Miss; at Baileys Springs,
up in Lauderdale county, Alabama; rat Bell Cheney
Springs, off in the parish of St. Landry Louisiana
If any, wherever they go as above, fail to have q
good time, why it will be their own faults, and they
would fail to have good time anywhere. But be-
cause those who are going away are to have good
times it does not follow that thecan getaways cannot
have good time also, lazy and careessy indulging
the dolce far nene of the season of sapphire skies'
in their accustomed homes going forth in the cool
vi ucuCious evenings W WdHueE tuIouSu
the twilight Streets dashing away to the lake to
smell the fresh air for hour two and back again
through the voiceful nights to pleasant and
familiar abodes. There ia reason why the stayat-
homes should not have pleasant time and be in as
good trim for the next business season as those who
60 away, providing the summer of 80 is not marked
black in the calender by the visitation Of an epidemic
like those which have given of its predecessors
ohn1u Fnr, fhafit ,piI bos In
chances favor decidedly, for the summer Of '5s was
sickness cursed and the pale horses of epi-
denies have heretofore, with exception.
Travelled in single, not double teams Of course, there
croakers to croak another epidemic but its reality
if it does come, will cause suffering enough without
the adding of that of anticipation. As said above,
the apparent chances are strongly against an cpl
demic this season. and such is the almost universal
impression So, here's health to the Rew born
Summer and may reciprocate the toast to all our
readers, and to the few persons who are not.

wedding of cattle dealer who had vowed that if
ever he did get married. he would ride to and from
the church donkey. His friends kept him to his
word and provided fifteen donkeys, that they might
bear him company en- suite. This ludicrous wedding
procession, headed by fife band went the rounds.
