honr-although ''the Docter' used to
"send her flying" at a speed ranging
from 1900 to 1900 Parting with
"Cinderella" seems like losing an old
friend, who has stood by you for years
aud seen you through your worst
troubles. It's advent was an era in
the history Of The Express. 1t gave
the Daily to the Lancaster public
and is not The Daily Express a local
institution of magnitude now Tt
stood by US through the crisis and
never failed US except in retaliatisn
for some mechanical abuse, for steam
presses will not endure abuse more
patiently than other people. Just
immagine how much Cinderella
told the lancasterians during the two
years and a half that gave forth its
daily Impressions of The Express, and
then, that we put every word Of this
utterance in its iron month, and then
be not surprised that feellas if could
not take "a last look" Of its familiar
mechanism without feeling like one
who "cuts" the acquaintance of q
friend who has seen US through our
worst troubles. ] hope this press will
serve Mr. Blackwell as faithfully as
it served us, aud / have no doubt Of
it. His is a live paper with the spirit
of a live man infused into it, and it
is destined to succeed. The necessity
of Steam press to turn off his large
edition, is evidence Of success but Of

The second match between Flora
Temple and George M. Patehen, came
off on Union Course, L. T., on Tues
day last. The success which had here
tofore followed Flora Temple, and the
rising fame of Patchen, made the race
one of the most interesting of late
years. The recent trot established the
speed of Flora, but now was to be de-
cided the speed and bottom of both.
1t was estimated that at least 90, 900
people were present.
Patchen won the race easily in two
straight heats. Time: 534 and
Ash. There was much dissatisfac-
ton among the friends of Flora, at
the result, they alleging that her dri-
yer had rot by any means done justice
to their fayorite Mr.. Mcdonald, her
owner, agreed to make the match over
again, for $4,000 a side within two
weeks from that day Whether it
will cone to anything We cannot as
yet say.

GREAT TRoTTINa MATCH. The
most brilliant and exciting trotting
match that has ever transpired in this
or any other country, came off at the
Union Course, L. l., on Wednesday
afternoon of last week. The contest
was between the apparently invincible
!" little bay mare" Flora Temple, and
the New Jersey stallion,n Geo. M.
Patchen-mile heats, best three in five,
to harness, for $1,000. Patchen's re-
cent victorious achievements on the
turf, had inspired his friends with the
notion that he was an equal for any
thing, and the way in which he hur-
ried Flora on Wednesday is proof that
their confidence was not without feun-
dation in real merit. The little mare
was never pushed so hard, as is plainly
indicated by the astonishing time and
the close proximity CT the horses when
they crossed the score. For the bet
ter understanding of the brilliant con-
test, we append detailed description
of the heats, as follows:

A New HAMPSHIRE VIOLENCE
CoMMITTEEAND THE CATTLE DISEASE.
The Manchester American says that a
droyer from Manchester went to Deer
ing, on Saturday last, and bought
several cattle suspected of exposure to
the pleura pneumonia at q low price.
About midnight he, with another man,
attempted to drive them through
Weare to the market in that city.
They reached the residence of M. A.
Hodgden before discovery, when they
were ordered to stop. The droveT
refused peremptorily, and pushed
ahead. Before be had gone a mile
the South Weare Vigilant were out il
full force, took the cattle, drove them
back to Deering Centre, about sunrise,
and gave warning that no more at
tempts of this kind must be nnderta-
ken. The Weare men made quite a
military display of clubs, spades and
guns.

Loss OF RRAsoN FROM SMOKING.

Loss OF REASON FROM SMOKING. -
Many of the Arabian Inhabitants of
Algiers are in the habit of smoking q
plant called hachiene (the cannabis
indica of botanists, which induces q
dreamy kind of intoxication when ta-
ken in moderation, but if taken in ex-
cess brings on fits of temporary fury,
which are often followed by lasting in
sanity. A few days since man
named Hammond ell Kabouadji, coffee
house keeper, who is addicted to this
habit, indulged in it to such excess
that he became raving mad, and while
in that state entered the grand mosque
in the rue de la Marine, seized an
Arab boy, and almost bit his nose of.
He afterwards assaulted several other
persons, but was at last overcome and
lodged in prison. There are now fifty
persons in Algiers who have lost their
reason through smoking this noxious
plant, the sale of which was strictly
forbidden in the time of the Deys.

AN English Engineer, Leonard Hor-
ner, has been making some experiments
for determining the age Of Egypt by
counting the layers of alluyial deposit
along the banks of the Nile, made by
its annual OVERLOOKING. Mr.. Horner's
researches are made by sinking at va
riouS points One of these sunk close
to the great monolithic statue Of RAJ
meses II, at Memphis, and it was
found that there were nine feet four
inches of Nile sediment between eight
inches below the surface and the low
est part of the platform on which the
statue stands. Below the platform
the shaft was driven thirty feet through
the deposit. At. the depth Of thirty
feet pottery vas found in a good state
Of preservation. Taking the date of
the erection of the statue at 1851 B. O.,
the finding of the pottery, together
with the examination, of the different
layers of deposit, Mr., Horner thinks
he has discovered traces Of the exis-
tence of man, 1900 years before the
Christian era, or $500 years before
the date at present fixed for the crea-
-tion of the world.

fully attired, somewhat in Indian style;
wore cap of waving, many colored
feathers, and over his yellow tights a
light tunic of Indian bead work. The
rope is one thousand three hundred
feet long its DETECTION is sixty feet,
and the lowest point is two hundred
and thirty feet from the seefhing ''hell
of waters" which dashes madly down
the awful gorge of Niagara. Blondin
ran briskly down the MANILA rope, pole
in hand, for a few hundred feet, when
be stopped short, threw ont one foot,
and stood poised above the chasm on
the other, presenting from the opposite
shore the dimensions of large sized
gnat. In the middle of the rope he
again stopped, and this time lay down,
almost disappearing from sight, his
pole meanwhile lying across his breast.
Up the hill again he took his perilous
way, and within few hundred yards
of the Canadian bank, he halted,
struck an altitude, and stood for min

the thunderous turmoil of the torrent.
