had been ten rounds, and the fight had
lasted scme three-quarters of an hour,
Hurst's seconds and hackers saw that bis
chance was hopeless, and urgently stlove
to make him discontinue. But. though
now utterly blind, his features smashed
out of all recognition almost as human
being, and reeling from his fearful loss of
blood, the g,ry, disfgured giant still tot
tered from his corner. emily to be sent
staggering by an antagonist that he seemed
capable of annihilating. Mace now no
longer fought cautiously, but hit when and
where be pleased, and even closed with
the great wrestler and then threw him
heavily. 1t was all over. Hercules him
self would have surcumbed to such fearful
blows, and the alar1 ing hsmorrho:age VIII eh
followed them, and which began to ssak
all the grass of the ring Brettie, Hurst's
chief backer, at last rushed into the ring,
and insisted on his fighting no more, but
the manned giant seemed incapable of un-
aerstanding his defeat from such little
man, and groped and staggered out again.
Blind and fainting, it only required one or
two more blows to finish the affair; but
the infiction of these on the helpless heap
of flesh was horrible and sickening beyond
all description. His seconds and hackers
gave in for him without bis knowledge and
kept Hurst in his corner till be gradually
became almost insensible, and all the re-
storativs arts of the ring were exhausted
in efforts to keep him from tainting, which,
in the absence of surgeon, and in his
then failing power, might have been most
serious affair. The spectacle which he
presented is too horrible for description.
Even the oldest champions of the ring
were aghast at the fearful punishment in
ficted in fifty minutes Mace had not a
single mark on him. The dockyard police
were dispatched in steamer from Catham
to prevent the fight, and arrived just as it
was over quite official that. 1t is kind
of set off to this revolving business to say
that poor Hurst's comrades on both sides
were most solicitous in their care of him
after his defeat, and Mace went about
among them and raised a subscriton for
him amounting to thirty-fve pound. Such
facts, thoug b undoubtedly pralseworty, but
poorly counterbalance the horrible nature
of the contest. Yet pugilsts think that
in few years the ring will again glow
with all the brutal magnifcence of the Re-
gency. Revive the ring It would be
easier to restore the Hsptarchy.-T from

AN OCoNTo MAN CLEANS OUT SEcEs-
sIoNIsT.-Our good sheriff, Mr.. George P.
Farnswerth, of this village was in Chicago
lately, and indulged in the luxury of ''clean-
ing OUT secessionist IN that city. The
Green Bay Advocate gives the facts of the
case: LISTENING to bis outburst of Southern
feeling as long as possible, Mr., Farnsworth
confronted the gentleman with the remark,
that be did not know what the people Of
Chicago allowed in their public streets or
resorts, or how far such sentiments could
be promul gated, but as for him he was
from Wisconsin, and in his State they did
not suffer such language to be uttered, and
suiting the action to the words, drew back
and planted a good ten-pounder into the
bread basket of the traitor, and sent him
sprawling across the room. The gentleman
not being inclined to rise in time, Wiscon-
sin quietly lifted him upon his feet again,
and gave him another broad-sider, send
ing him to the wall in anything but gra-
ceful attitude. Mr.. Seeessionsts being
fairly vanqusshed, made suitable apologies,
and after being told that he must either
leave town forthwith or keep still, took
the oath of allegiance and became quite
companionable. But it seems that the
oath was made with mental reserve for
on getting out upon the sidewalk, Mr.. Sc
cessionists turned upon his antagonist again
with violent threats of gunpowder and ball.
Wisconsin not liking such specimen of
Southern honor chivalry, brought his ten
FOUNDER to bear again, and sent the enemy
flying across the street iongitudinally his
hat going in one direction and his boots in
another.
On being asked by bystander to what
regiment he belonged, Oconto answered
that he was regiment himself and fight
ing secessionists on his own hook !-Osonto
