FIGHT a regular scientific pugilistic en-
counter took place this morning in the mar
ket between white man and negro, both
from the country. The quarrel originated, it
appears, in regard to something concerning
the price of potatoes. In the ''set-to" Sam
DO got the worst of it, as his antagonist
seemed to know better where to plant his
5lo'os than he did Cutfee finally gave up
the affair as bad job, and order was res
tored. i1

INTELLIGENT BRUTE.--W We saw yesterday
most curious specimen of the canine race.
This animals intelligence far exceeds that of
any dog we have ever before seen. For in
stance, he will not take anything to eat, be
be ever 50 hungry, should it be presented to
him in the left hand. If told to cry for it, he
will most readily initiate weeping. Will
dance, go through the manual of arms, and in
fact, perform many other tricks, too numerous
so mention. He goes by the graceful soubri-
qaet of :" Crab" and is a fine species of the
Spaniel. Crab is certainly entitled to the
freedom Of the city, and we therefore say, let
him go unmuzzled, We could add to this

Particulars OF GEN. JIM LANES DEATH.-
Senator James II. Lane shot himself last even
ing about O'Clock, with a revolver inflictng a
wound which resulted in bis death at this NOR
ming. The ball entered the mouth and came out
at the top of the skull. He was stopping with
brother-inslaw, Mr.. Mccall, at the Government
farm near Fort Leavenworth. Gen. Lane had
been i'll for some time and was confined to his
room at the Lindell Hotel, 10 St. Louis, for sew
eral days. lie arrived here on Friday last, ac-
coppanied by a physician, from st. Louis. He
hadbeen acting strangely for several days; so
muchsso that careful watch was kept over him
Last evening he started for a ride, accompanied
by bis brother-iu-law, Col Adams. Coming to
gate which opens to the farm, Mr.. Mccall got
out to open it and Gen. Lane also got out on
some pretense. Stepping to the rear of the wag-
on, be drew a small pistol from his coat pocket
and exclaimed, " Good bye Mac" and instantly
shot bimself as before described. He was at
once removed to the house, where every atten-
ton was paid him. The fatal act was undoubt-
edlv the result of temporary mental abberra-
ton II is understood that be is the third mem
