John Mitchell in a letter to the New York NeI7s,
gives the following horse news:
In the matter of horses, France IS decidedly taking
the lead of England. There are no such splendid
carriage horses TO be seen anywhere in Paris and
for cavalry remOuntS and animals to be used in
draught, this country Is now independent of all
others though not many years ago France was a
large purchaser of horses both in Germany and Eng
land This is due in great measure to the excellent
administration of the hdTds, great stallion establish
ments, carefully maintained in all the departments
There is, also, independent of the Government a
Nociete HppQe, to encourage the breeding of supe-
rior draught and farm horses by of prizes of
sufficient amount to be an inducement to stock
ralsers As for horses, Gladiateur beats every
thing on the habitabe globe. There is no horse in
England that has the least chance with him. and he
was brought over from that country to for-or
rather TO win, of cOurse-the splendid cup, worth
lOO francs, together with 10000 francs in money at
the race of Sunday last in the B0is de Boulogne. Two
horses started with him, but he won at canter.
Gladiateur is now established as public character
and tayorite of the Partisan world. j. NJ"
The FISHERY QUESTIoS.-The fleets that are to

The Crops.

With regard to wheat VIC have only to say that re-
cent extensive inquiries confirm the statement we
have hitherto made, that the wheat seeded last fall
will yield not more than the third of crop. This
is better than at one time had reason to expect
for it was the general impression that nearly the
tire crop had been winter killed In some neghbor-
hoods in the Piedmont region of the State farmers
have ploughed up their wheat fields and put them in
oats, or prepared them for corn.
A great breadth of corn has been and will yet be
planted This is the surest though not the most pro-
ftable of our crops. Owing to the cool weather
which has far prevailed very little of the corn las
yet come up The quantity of potatoes planted this
year and yet to be planted will be unusually large
An effort is being made to plant large crop Of to-
bacco The good prices of the past year. and the
comparative failure of the wheat, have both con-
tributed to induce almost all planters to make some
tobacco. The report from various portions of this
State and North Carolina now is that the plants are
coming up badly; but we never knew a spring when
this story notrepeated We apprehend no serious
difficulty from want of fplants;m-Richmond Times.
Coon CROPS IN TENNEssEE.-The Bolivar (Tenn.)
Bulletin thinks that in that region there will be put
in cultivation this year at least double the quantity
of land that was titled in 1865. Many OF the large
fields that have only served as pastures for the past
three or four years now being put in condition
suitable tor planting purposes.

Shocking Tragedy-A Victim of his own
Folly.

Close on the heels of the Houseman tragedy we
have the details of another homicide at the village
of Cookstown, Fayette county. Martin Lutz a
wealthy and highly respectable farmer residing
within one mile of the village left his home few
days ago on visit to Ohio expecting to be absent
several days. He returned on Friday evening, how
ever, about nine o'clock and knowing that lis wife
would not be looking for him. he concluded to steal
in upon her unawares. lie soon discovered that she
his cousin boy about sixteen years of age As Lutz
had considerable mOrey in the house he seems to
have conceived the idea of testing the courage and
fidelity of the boy. He accordingly entered the
house stealhy, but the boy hearing the noise gave
an alarm, and calling to a companion begged him to
get assistance, there o robber in the house.
The boy then approached the room where the sup
posed robbar was, challenged him three times to
come out or be would shoot him.
After the third warning the boy fired, being armed
with navy revolver. lutz up to this time had not
spoken, but as the ball had passed through his body
he fell to the ground excaiming, You have killed
me- but it is ali my fault % In fifteen minutes after
he was dead. The ball passed entirely through his
body entering above of the hips and passing out
above the other, severing the bowels in its passage
just before the shot was fired help had arrived in
front of the house. but the boy seemed to have been
highly excited, and did not hear them The affair
created intense excitement, but simple recital of
the facts enough to satisfy all that the unfortu-
nate man fell victim to his own folly No one re-
GREETED the sad occurrence felt its effects more
keenly than the poor boy whose fidelity had been so
severely tested. He had q hearing before magis-
trate on the following day. and was admitted to bail
Lutz was about forty of age. and leaves wife,
but no children His wife was visit to a neigh
