TROTTING HORSE PEDIGREES.-The
want of book recognized as authori-
ty on the pedigree of trotting horses
is felt every day. Because no such
work is extant, some of the most
glaring frauds are practiced with
boldness and impudence, as if the
parties guilty of the swindles defed
detection. A few days ago, gentle
man in England, wrote to a friend in
this country for information in regard
to two American trotters advertised
for sale in Liverpool. One of the
horses was named Demon of War"
the other Dawn of Peace " The
former was stated to be an own sister
to Dexter, and the latter to have been
sired by Geo. M. Patchen, Jr. Dawn
of Peace" was credited with remark
able performance that of having
trotted twenty miles within an hour.
The horses were said to have been
conveyed from America to Liverpool
on the steamer Boston. 1t is hardly
necessary to remark, that the story, as
told on the other side of the water, by
the owners of these wonderful trotters,
with stunning, poetical names, is too
absurd to obtain belief for moment,
but we presume that it was gulped
down by John Bull as a palatable
truth. If we had a stud book for
American trotters, it would be impos-
sible for impositions like this to be
practiced with success. Az p4n

Horrible Murder.

TROY, Der. 2d.--A horrible tragedy
occurred in the town of Pelersburgh, in
Rensselaer, County, about 20 miles from
Troy, on Friday night last. A man
named Hiram Coon, desperate charac-
ter, employed by Henry Laker, farmer,
in fit Of passion, seized an AK and sent
the weapon MASKING through the shull of
his employers wife and into the brain,
producing mortal wound. He had been
(says The Times) to the village during
the afternoon, and returned about the
time the family were at tea. When he
entered the house, Mrs. Laker made some
remark TO him, when he angrily inquired if
she wanted a row with him? Mrs. l..
replied "no and did not pursue the con-
versa ton further Coon turned upon his
heel and left the house. No attention was
paid TO him, and no thought entered the
head of Mr.. Laker or his wife that any
trouble would result from the converse.
ton, although they observed Coon's angry
look as he passed out.
1t seems the villain went directly to
the wood-shed and procured an ak. Arm
ed with this terrible weapon, he reentered
the house and walked directly up to Mrs.
Laker, who was eating her supper. Mr.
Laker was also at the table, and all un.
conscious of the intentions of Coon. no
even noticing the ak which he held in hi:
hand, continued on in the quiet enjoyment
of the evening meal. In moment, ht
saw the monster raise the weapon, and
perceiving the glimmer of the polished
steel in the light of the candle leaped up
on him and, as he supposed, averted the
blow aimed at his wife's head. Selling
Coon, he threw him down, dragged hin
to the door, and kicked him out of tn,
house. All this while Mr.. Lader was un
| conscious of his wife's fate. Turnin;
around, he observed that she had fallel
over, and upon going up TO her, discover
ed the AK still sticking in her head, hav
ing cleft skull and brain, producing NOR
tai wound. The monster fed to the VIII

sitting there when the alarm Of fire was
given, and left it with others. He also
denies that he ever participated in the Re-
bellon, of his own voluntary act, and not
at all until year and half after this oc-
currence, when he was drafted into the
Home Guard of North Carolina, from
which he escaped through the lines to
Newbern. He denies all persecution Of
Union men; but, on the contrary, carefully
abstained from participation with those
who did. He also denies his good pecun-
larry condition, and says that his purchases
we're made for Dibbte & Co.
Several aflidavits are appended to show
that the defendant was loyal man.
On the calling of the case, Mr.. Marsh
read an affidavit to show why he had been
unable to procure aflidsyits in corrobora-
ton of the plaintiffs statement, and asked
an adjournment.
Mr.. Rodman, counsel for the defendant,
stated that the defendant was now lying in
jail at Ludlow st that he was utterly in.
capable of procuring $50, 900 bail, though
be could probably obtain $4,000; that
though it might be proper enough to ad-
journ the case under other circumstances
he could not consent to i, now.
After some further discussion, the mo-
ton was adjourned, MIR. Justice Clerke,
fixing the bail for the present, at $4,000,
with an understanding that, if the plaintiff
established his case, it might be again re-
stored to the former figure.
Mr.. Luther r. Marsh for plaintiff; Mr..
Thomas III. Rodman and Mr.. Charles d.
Adams for defendant.

deal Of excitement has been caused there
by; but although good cause has existed
for dissatisfaction among the negroes no
disturbance whatever has taken place. II
appears that few days ago certain color
ed men were apprehended for vagrancy
and fifty sent to the workhouse because
they could not pay charges. A Nash
vile letter says that Messrs. Beach and
Cheatham, two Mississippi planters. were
in the city at the time trying to obtain
hands to pick cotton for them. They be-
ing well known among the colored people,
were unsuccessful. They must have
hands; the crop must be taken care of.
| What was TO be done to secure men
Nothing less than to secure the services
of the city police, and the above named
arrests and commitments was the result.
These gentlemen then "very honorably y
step forward and offer to pay the fines of
"the vegrants in the "Wcrk House. u
The offer was accepted, and these "vag
rants" SO obtained, were sent, without
their consent, to Mississippi to pick cotton
under guard. These poor fellows were
so taken away from their homes and fam
lilies, without their friends having any
knowledge of their whereabouts. WheI
their wives and families heard of this out
rage they made complaints, but not threats
This was construed into conspiracy Il
to murder the whites. This outbreak
however, did not occur; for although thu
blacks have good cause, these about herr
have no other idea than such as become
peaceable, law abiding citszens.

The Magazines.

The ATLANTIC MONTHLY for Novem-
Der, will be fully up TO the average stan
dard of excellence. 1t opens with read
able story entitled "Rhoda," by Ruth
Harper. Five Hundred Years Ago is
a rood historical sketch of the period in
dicated. A new story" Katherine Morne,"
by the author of 8. Herman" is well be-
gun. Mr.. Hazewell describes The Pro-
gress of Prussia with his accustomed
intelligence and ability. That curiosity
of human nature, the late Count " euro
wski," is admirably delinieated by Robert
Carter. There is a strong political article
on The President and His Accomplices,
and description of MarshalPs Portrait
of Lincoln"
1t strikes us that the la,t-the Novem-
ber-number of OUR YOUNG FOLKS is
the most charming in point of illustration
of any that we have ever seen. From
the full page colored engraving opposite
the title page to the illustrations of the
riddles, everything is spirited and exquis-
itely finished. The reading matter, by the
first writers of the country, is of kindred
excellence, so that better periodical for
the young could not be desired, and GER
tainly is not likely to be seen.

Trouble in Maryland.
THE REBELS RAMPANT.

The rebels of Maryland are making
trouble with reference to the election to
come off there in November. In Balti-
more city an attempt is being made to re-
move the police commissioners, because
they do not put on the check lists the
names of returned rebels and other known
disloyal persons, who are excluded by the
new constitution of the State as adopted
during the rebellion, and just here is the
conflict. The rebels are bound to get the
State once more in their possession, and if
allowed to vote will probably succeed. The
case looks stormy and may lead to serious
trouble. In Baltimore city three thous-
and returned Union soldiers have offered
their armed services to the Mayor of that
city to maintain the course of the commits
sioners. Already one man has been killed
and several wounded over the political af
fairs of that State. The Union men APP
pear to be determined to fight it out.
At Hagarstown, on Saturday, a Union
meeting was attacked by rebel sympathi-
zers, when the Union men Immediately
showed fight and one rebel was killed, two
more were MORALLY wounded and also two
women slightly. On the same day a
democratic meeting was held at West
minister where cheers were freely given
for JEFF. Davis, and at the same place they
attacked Unionist named Bell when he
fred upon and wounded four of them
Bell was afterwards taken to Jail fol
safety, and the rebels attempted to take
him from Jail in order to hang him, hui
the Unionists rallied and they were foiled
In Hagarstown the rebels fired on Union
lists from house, when the Union mer
rallied and cleaned out the house ant
found therein large lot Of arms. These
things appear to be the mutterings o
serious trouble.

Protecting the toes of children's Shoes
from wear by Metal Tips, has proved a
most important and useful invention. But
until lately great mistake has been made
in applying them chiefly to the coarser

of the shoe the more there is saved by
protecting the toe from wear, which can
only be done by a Metal-Tip. Genteel
