of EiIlainous boaldr IS, expos o the heat 'i a midsummer sun and the bites of merciless flies. Many of us have not stitch of fy-net to our backs, and all of us have been more or less incapacitated from protecting ourselves, by having our tails clipped, to gratify an un' seemly fashion, which neither our masters nor mistresses, seemed disposed to honor at this time in their outward combinations. Besides, our cheek reins are left tied so tight that we cannot bite fly from our shoulders, or ease our aching muscles single minute. In view of these abuses, we feel that our condition calls loudly for redress, and hope this conven- 1 ton will devise some means of relief The Black then nominated the Chesnut as Secretary which was agreed on The Cream Color moved 0 Committee of three to present platform for the considera. tion of the meeting. Carried, and the chair l appointed the Cream, the Black and the Roan said Committee.
 While this committee was consulting to, gether, the chair called for an expression of opinion from the different members of the Convention, and requested that each one bring in resolution embodying his sentiments :- Whereupor, the following were offered

SUNDAY DOINGs AMONG HORSES.

Our parson is one of the kind who gives the people the worth of their money, 50 he gets up pretty extensive sermons for such hot days.- Last Sunday sat till he got to llthly, and, by that time, got dry as contribution box so stepped out to get drink at the pump. The meeting house is on the corner, and the horses are hitched along on both sides.
 As went out, l saw something was on foot among the uags most of them had their ears back, and were showing their teeth, and stam- ping in any thing but religious mood. When I got my fluid down, stopped to investigate the disturbance among the horses, and as l knew horsc-latin, sat down on the steps to take notes. All were outside the rails and hitch- ing post in paved gutter, each beating a tattoo with quartette of iron hoofs, which l at first thought would be more profitable for the blacksmith and farrier, than for the own CT but as the owners were mostly rich, it was none of my business.
 The little Black reached his head over to the little Chestnut and whispered something /; when the Chestnut moved that the meeting be organized, by calling the Big Bay to the caair. This motion was carried, and the chairman proceeded to state the object of the meeting as follows:
 FELLOW HORSES We have now organized ourselves into a convention for the purpose o peaceably discussing our grievances, in accor dance with the republican character of our in alienable rights. We are brought from oul stables and pastures every Sunday, to be tiet up here, in this hot weather. upon a pavement

pgA BOLp BracLlRY AND A BOLD

pS-A BoLp Burglary AND a BOLD Ar
rrvpT-some time after one o'clock on
Saturday morning last, 4 burglar or bur
a,.r, entered the Office of Robertson &
Orr, on Market street, aud ransacking the
entire premises, succce led in carrying off
about one hundred dollars worth of gold
and silver plate, aud other articles, inclu-
ding gold chain, ring and broad sword.
The thieves entered from the back yard
and first got into the basement by breaking
through door that was fastened on the
inside. They then assembled pair of
stairs and by breaking hole through the
wall or plastering, succeeded in unbolting
door that opened into the Office. Here
they pried open every drawer and broke
every lock about the premises, both up
stairs aud down, and damaged everything
indiscriminately. In all the open drawers
were found chnrred matches, which they
had used to assist in the search for yalua-
bles
Shortly after leaving, the thieves re-
paired to the Iron warehouse of A. w.
Kelly & Co., on Monroe street, and there
commenced desperate and determined
attempt to break open the safe belonging
to that establishment. There was ball
going on overhead, in Rohan's Hall and
the merriment and music drowned tho
noise the operations below The thieves
entered by the front door, and being armed
with heavy slcdge, pick-axe, &c., COM
menced to break the hinges and bolts off
tn immense safe, which they succeeded
in doing, but just us they were about to
SEIZE the money and valuables, it is sup
posed they were suddenly alarmed. They
departed precipitately through the back
door AMI out through vacant lot, leaving
behind all their implements, including the
sword taken from the Office of Robertson
& Orr, which they no coubt intended to
use in case of detection. The safe con-
tanned about one hundred dollars in mo-
npy, draft on New York for thirteen hun
dre,l dollars, and large number of inval-
liable papers. We have never recorded
two more desperate robberies than these
tue perpetrators defying safes, bolts, bars,
danger and everything else.
