leap into a buggy, with n or both OF

that foul riding had been claimed by the
riders of both horses, and the General
had gone TO examine the ground. As

dent announced that Larkin had won

OutsiGe-the betting being two TO one on
Ontario against the field. The start WAS
made without any trouble, the horses
getting off well t3gether-Ontario lead
ing, and Kitty second. Ga the first mile
around scarcely any change Was made in
the position Of the animals up to the

came up, and for GENE distance seemed,
from the stand, TO brush Kitty. On the
homo stretch Minnie dropped behind,

leaped ahead and Tapped Ontario, the

Minnie barely saving her distance.

The NECESSITY for the concurrence OF
the Senate in the House Bill, giving the
supervision of the work of reconstruct
ton into the hands of General Grant is
rendered particularly necessary by the
attitude maintained by Hancock toward
Grant. Congress should interpose at
once and put the contemplated power
into the Generals hands. There is an
irrepressible conflict between him and
the President and it is the duty of Con-
gress to provide Grant with all requisite
backing.

THE CoNGREss has wisely and justly
devised a plan of Reconstruction which
will protect the loyal men of the South
from rebel oppression and violence.
Let them not forget that their friend and
co-worker, General Grant, may need
protection at their hands during the few
months preceding the coming Presiden-
tial election. There is no guessing what
Andrew johnson in his desperation may
not do if Congress be not sitting to in
timidate him. "The fear o. hell 8 a

HAWKS VS.. CANARIEs.-We have heard
of several instances within week in which
parties have lost canaries. A small species
of hawk have made their appearance in
this vicinity, and seem intent upon picking
the bones of such canaries as they can find
hung out for an airing. Canaries are the
pets of the household, if one lets his wife
tell it, but the curse of every man who wants
to turn over and take that last deli :ious
snooze in which all sensible men indulge
just before breakfast is ready. We think
the innocent little sparrow hawks are per-
fectly beautiful-in fact, an ornament to
larger numbers, if, by acquaintance, they
wonld become bold enough to nip about six
teen sQueaking canary birds We know OIL
Sacramento Record.
The "butcher bird " commits like depre-
dations in these parts. Weknow of several
fine canaries that have been jayhawked by
these fierce little pirates.
