Patchen came up to the score with his coat
all dry and blooming, with hiscyc bright and

ing in every look and motion.
AT the second attempt they got away, and
Patchen at once showed in front, and lead by
a length to the quarter pole. Here Flora
moved up and Tapped in front, and had look
of drawing out clean; but the long stride of
the stallion, into which he had settled, forced
him up, and soon his ground was recovered
and at the middle Of the stretch his nose came
out in the lead, and soon he was at the half
mile pole. Around the turn heslead, gaining

Steadily both worked up, and, without
change, passed the judges, finishing the first
mile in 2:25. Dashing away from the turn,
McMann again attempted to steal march and
get on the inside, but in vain. The former
attempt had taught Talman lesson, and he
shut the mare out, and kept her at bay on his
outer side. The turn was easily done, and he
came to the quarter pole with lead of a
length. Here a show was made by Flora Of

Tho effort once made, and the power to do

So ends the second great trot between these
the noblest Romans of them all. Would that
Flora had shown more game, for then we
should have seen such time as never in either
heat had been seen before.

MYSTERIOUS BELL RISGNG.--T1e Prori-
dence Journal gives an account of case OF
mysterious bellringing in that city. The
ringing commenced on Thursday evening.
and continued at intervals for three hours. =. 2.
SO annoying did the ringing become, that the
wire of one bell was detached, and the other
bell was muflled by being completely enyelop-
cd in a napkin. The phenomenon was wit
messed by several persons, who thoroughly
examined every part of the bell apparatus.
but could discover no cause which tended to
throw any light upon the occurrancc. One
gentleman present took hold Of the knob, and
held it firmly; he says there was much force
exerted to move the knob while he held it
and that he distinctly felt power attempt-
ing to pull it. As soon as he let 90. the hell
would begin to move backward and forward
rs though some one pulled, and then sudden
" let go. He held the knob several times
and in every instaLac with the same result
At the same time, the bell would ring by (
movement communicated to the wire between
the first and second director. One gentlc-
man present attempted to seize the wire. and
as soon rs his hand approached it the ring
ing would cease, and the other bell commence
riaging. Suddenly turning to seize hold of
this, it would stop and the other commence
ringing again. He tried this repeatedly. and
in every instance the motion would Cease in
the one and commence in the other. The
same was true Of other parties.

The Slanderer.

There are two shameless characters in

the fatterer. Oae destroys your honest

The best men and women are always the

TWENTY WARS AGO

How wondrous pre The changes, Jim,
Since twenty years ngo,
when pas wore WOODEN drcsses, Jim,
And boys wore pants of tow
when shoes were made Of calf-skin,
And socks Of homc-spun wool
And children did fair days work
Before they went 10 school
when girls took music lessons, jim,
Upon the spinning wheel;
And "practicol late and early, Jim,
Uron the spinning wheel;
The boys would ride bareback TO mill
A dozen miles or so,
And hurry OIL before twas day,
Some twenty yeas ago.
The people rode to meeting, Jim,
In slcds, instead of sleighs,
And wagons rode as easy, Jim,
As sbugg.es nova days;
And oxen answered well for teams,
Though now they'd be too slow,
For people lived not halfso fast
Some twenty years ago,
o, we'll dc I remember Jim,
That patent cooking stove,
That father fought and paid for Jim,
In cloth our gals had wove
And how the neighbors wondered
When we got the thing to 60,
And said 'twould bust and kill US all,
Some twenty years ago.
Yes everything is diiferer t. jim,
From what il used to was
For men are always tampering, jim,
With Gods great natural laws
And what on earth we're coming to -
Does anybody know!
For everything has changed SO much
Since twenty years ago.
