Prize RINo.-We devote but little space
to reports Of the ring. To-day the great
fight between Coburn Of Cincinnati, and
McCool, comes off at Chicago. We hope
both may be soundly punished. The fol-
lowing telegraph to the Chicago Times, is
amusing:
CINCINNATI, May 23.-Joe Coburn had

There were $500 present, at an average of
81 each for admission. Coburn had il set
to with james Brown, a friend, who is q
resident mechanic. Brown is something
of an expert with the gloves, and anxious
to show his skill, went in with rush.
The sparring was very pretty for a while,
when Brown got in on Coburn's nose
handsomely. 1t has always been Columns

the "smeIer," bnt the success Of the am
ateur Brown must be imagined when "a
simultaneous yell from nearly 5000 threats
proclaimed his victory over both the pride
and boast Of his opponent. Cohurn got
mad, closed in, and hit right and left. lie
used his feet, and threw Brown. who in
time got mad, and not only threw Cohurn,
but blowed him efecrually. The result of
this has had dampening effect upon the
ardor Of Cohurn's friends.

Ben. WADE's REcoRD.-Thc Chicago

session speeches. One Of these. delivered
in the thirty-fourth Congress, is particular
ly '.disloyal." Wade said:
''We have adopted the old declaration
of independence as the basis of our politi-
cal movements, which declares that any
people when their government ceases to
protect their rights-when it is SO subvert,
cd from the true purposes of government
as to oppose them-have the right to recur
to fundamental principles, and. if need be
to destroy the government under which
they live, and erect on its ruins another
more conducive to their welfare. hold
that they have this right. will not blame
any people for exercising it, waenever
they think the contingency has come

speeches before making the vice president
nomination. Night it not be welffor sen.

We congratulate our fellow citizens OF
the Isreal flush persuasion on the nomina-
ton of Grant as the radical candidate for
President. The man that ordered ''all the
Jews out of his department, when he was
subordinate in the army, doubtless will
commend him to them as a proper man for
President. AS they appreciated that order,
and the infamous spirit in which it was
dictated, they will now act in return to-
wards the radical candidate for President.

Casualty.
On Monday morning last PArR1cK, son
Of Tranci. Sullivan, lad of II, while
attempting to get on the down freight, six
miles west of North McGregor, failed to
balance himself and was run over by two
ears in motion at l6 miles an hour. His
left thigh, just above the knee, and his
right foot were crushed. The train was
instantly stopped, Drs. Andres and Ham
ilton of this city, were on hand in about
one hour, the right thigh was amputated
and tie foot cut off except the main part
of the heel portion. DR.. Andres tells us
the boy was cheerful after recovering from
chloroform and ether, and that he hopes
for his recovery. F. Lewis was in COM
mand of the train, but no one breathes
any ccnsure Of him. The boy had been
employed on the train for some time, and
with the recklessness of youth, had
frequently performed the feat successfully.
Conductor Lewis, we happen to know, is
soft Of heart and he could scarce resist
tears while telling us of the appearance OF
little PAT, as he was borne by weeping
friends to his fathers house. Lewis did nj
lose much time in reaching North Nc
Gregor, advising Doc. Andres and sending
him forward.
Father Lenahan also went up, good
man that he is, to console the distracted
parents of the unfortunate youth. All the
community sympathises with the family.
The Ry company, though not to blame in
this instance, have rendered everything in
attention or in money that may be neces-
barry for the boy. A credit to them.
