NOVEL RACE.-The residents of the Navy
Yard, OF a sporting mood, and who are not
disposed to be far behind the times In mat
tiers pertaining to the full development of the
human as well as the animal race, impro-
vised bit of sport on Saturday afternoon In
the way of foot race. A well-known gen.
tleman Of the above locality having dis
tanccd and yanquished many a worthy foe
within the past year or two, wagered to run
a foot race with Mr.. Wilson's famed goat,
the purse being bottle Of "Old Baker " to
the winner. The track chosen for the occa-
sion was Virginia avenue, and the distance
from the Republican to the Democratic flag
staffs-say about 200 yards. At precisely 4
O'Clock tho bugle Chat Is, an oysterman's
tin horn,) sounded as the signal for the start,
when of started Thomas and Billy" The
spectators numbered about 400, and bets ran
high on Tom, notwithstanding there was no
apparent difference In the race, as both goat
and man kept well together; but the winning
post growing nearer, the contestants for the
| purse put their best foot foremost, and the
| goat reached the stand FIVE Sc conds In ad.
vance Of Thomas. The race being over, the
| friends Of Tom concluded that the goat was
not entitled to the purse, and all hands re-
| paired to the nearest quarter, where they
"whet their whistle" at the expense of the
defeated candidate, while the goat was per-
mitted TO roam at large for a full hour to

A lansing (Mich.) letter to the De.
troit Free Press gives the following par
ticulars Of diaboIicaI outrage:
"On Tuesday of this week there was
committed near Grand Ledge, in the
neighboring county of Eaton, an outrage
that for cool brutality and bolducss out
ranks anything that has found a place on
our calender of crime. About two
o'clock Of that afternoon married lady,
whose name | Intentionally withhold,
started from the village to visit her pa
rents, who reside three miles west. Just
below the village of Grand Ledge, per-
haps half o mile, is deep gulf or ravine
crossed by small bridge AS the lady
was descending the hill to pass over, she
observed man standing on the bridge,
but suspecting no evil, or, at most, that
he was traveller, she walked boldly on.
As she came opposite the man, he con-
fronted her, and after asking her name,
remarked that she was The very woman
he had been looking for Then, pre-
senting cooked revolver n: her breast,
he told her that unless she quietly ac.
companied him into the woods, and ac-
ceded to his wishes, he would shoot her
dead where she stood She at first re-
fused, ard gave an outcry; but his dem
onstrations with the revolver soon caused
her to believe that he meant to put his
threats into execution. The villain then
forced her into a thicket near by. all the
time presenting the revolver at her breast,
and admonishing her that the slightest
resistance or outcry would be the signal
for her Instant death. He also pulled q
glittcring bowie knife from his boot, and
brandishing it before her eyes, succeeded
in accomplishing his purpose. He then
told her to resume her journey; that he
should watch her out of sight, and an
alarm by her would be followed by shot
from the revolver. More dead than
alive, the lady at length reached her des-
tination, aud word was Immediately sent
to her husband Ere night, citizens and
officers were on the trail, which has been
followed up to this date without success" !"
A letter from Graud Ledge, of SUBJ
sequent date, has the following:
John Kellogg, the villain who COM
mitted the rape on Mrs. j. NJ. Clark, on
the 10Th, was arrested on the 22d, some
eight miles west of here. The case was
very aggravated one, and has caused
much excitement, Mrs. Clark being the
wife Of one of our most respectable far
mers Kellogg was o stranger here, and
since his arrest has confessed to having
stolen horse and buggy at Battle Greek,
and sccreted it about six miles south of
this village"
