The two men who have been struggling so
long for the empty honor of the championship
of American rowers, will show good sense if
they now let the matter drop and retire to
peaceful private life. They have tried their
sinews against each other twice, and in neither
case has the race been finished. The only re-
suit of their contests has been to degrade what
ia in its nature an honorable athletic sport 10
the level of prize fight. The roaring drunken
crew who made Sunday hideous in Newburgh,
were enough to bring disgrace upon anything
with which they were associated. We want no
more boat races until we can have them in
better company.

In anticipation of the annexation of Roxbury
to Boston, the latter city plumes itself upon
the fact that it will then come up next to
Brooklyn, and be the fourth city (in size) in
the Union. Very likely; but let not Boston forget
that Brooklyn is to-day more surely part
of New-York than Roxbury is of Boston.
Were the metropolitan domain technically as
it is practically, annexed to this city, We should
show over 100000 inhabitants. and territory
of nearly circular form with radius of ten

placed two large stones, in measurement
nearly two feet square and three inches
thick; the one at the top rested closely
upon the one beneath. Upon lifting it
from the lower stone, the skeletons of
FIVE frogs were discovered, they we're in a
circle in the centre Of the stone, quite
fat. Upon taking one of them up and
holding it to the light, there was only a
threadlike appearance of bones between

In this state they we're seen by several
persons, and by each Of them the frogs
were considered to be dead; but when the
water commenced to flow over them there
was slight gasping perceived in the
throats of each. by degrees the bodies
swelied, and life and motion returned,-

the frogs sprang up and ran away into

meath the stone that covered the lower.
