A terrible affair happened on the banks OF
Csyuga Lake on Saturday last.
Two men, named Donnelly and Mcclure.
hai ,me dispute with regard to their physical
strength. Donnely, who is large, heavily
built man, of no particular pug;istic skiii, mad
frequently boasted that he was able to lick"
Mcclure, who was stout, wry man, weighing
some thirty pounds less than Donnelly. Mo
CURE had q local reputation as boxer. Each
man had crowd Of friends who eagerly can
vassed the strength OF their favorltes, and DID
everything N their power 70 brig about q
Rght At last the preliminarles we're arranged,
and small sums OF money were staked upon the
result. The fight took place on Saturday
afternoon at Ogden's Dock, on the west side or
Cayuga Lake. Several hundred persons were
present. Seconds, referees. and an up'
pire wsre chosen, and the fight began.
Tho first round was lo1g and q
bloody one, but Donnelly was finally sent
to grass. In the sec ond round Mcclure gave
turned it by knocking Mcclure into his corner.
In the third round Donnely forced the fight
ing. Mcclure spr .nG away from him, but was
finally kuocaed through the ropes. The fourth
round opened with signs OF fatigue on the part
of Mcclure. Donnclly punished him severely.
The fifth round opened with the closing OF one
Of Donnelly's eyes. .dcGuire closed in with
HIM, and threw him heavily. The sixth, sew
enth and eighth rounds we're marked by simi-
lar results. at the beginning Of the ninth
round Donpelly, who had been considerably
blown, appeared to catch his second wind.
After some fibbing, he struck Mcclure pow
erful blow on the left temple.
Mcclure dropped to the ground like o bar Of
lead, gaspipg twice, and died. Donnely gaZed
at the corpse with bloody eyes and cried my
God, I've killed him. oh, Jimmy, speak to
me.'' His friends urged him to fly. An alarm
was raised. 1t was said that the sheriff 3 off,
GERS were approaching. Donnelly drew on his
coat, broke through the ring, and fled like
deer. He has not since been seen, and 1t ls
said that he IS now in Canada.

Precision in Business.

On certain Saturday night, the clerks
of the Bank of England could not make the
balance come out right by Just one hundred
pounds. This is a serious matter In that
establishment-not the cash, but the dis
crepancy, however slight. An error in the
balancing has been known to keep delega-
tion of clerks from each department at work
sometimes through the whole night A
hue and cry, therefore, was made after this
one hundred pounds, as if the old lady in
Thred-needle street would be in the Gazette
as an iusolvent for the want of it. Luckily,
on the Sunday morning following, the clerk.
in the middle of the sermon, perhaps-felt
suspicion of the truth dart through his mind
quicker than lightning fash. He told the
chief cashier, on Monday morning, that per-
haps the mistake might have occurred in
packing some boxes of specie for the West
Indies, which had been sent to Southampton
for shipment. The suggestion was immedi-
ately acted upon. Here was a race-light-
ming against steam, and steam with start
of forty eight hours. Instantly the wires ask.
ed whether such a vessel had "left the har-
bor." "Just weighing anchor" was the re-
ply, "Stop her." frantically shouted the tel
egraph. 1t was done. "Have on deck GER
tain boxes, marked so and so, and weigh them
carefully" They were weighed, and one,
the delinquent, was found heavier by just one
packet of hundred sovereigns than it ought
to be. LET her CO." says the mysterious tel
egraph. The West India folks were debited
with just one hundred pounds more, and the
error was corrected without looking into tho
boxes, or delaying the voyage an hour.

JOHN II. SURRATT TO WRITE Book
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Herald says:
''Surratt is now in South America, but will
return here within a month. learn from
one of his friends that he has prepared full
and explicit statement of the conspiracy
which resulted in the death of President
Lincoln. In this he denies all knowledge of
any assassination plot, but confesses freely
that Booth and himself and others were in a
plot to abduct Mr.. Lincoln. He declares
that assassination was never spoken of to him,
and was not agreed on by Booth and Payne
until the night it took place. He further in
sists on the entire innocence of his mother:
maintains that every effort was made to keep
the abduction plot from her knowledge, and
says she was simply the victim of unfortu-
nate circumstances and the Vaccinations of
the witness Weichman, whose evidence, it
will be remembered, caused Mrs, Surratt's
conviction. Surratt proposes to tell the good,
bad and Indifferent, and make oath to it,
He feels, it is said, that it will be so impair
tial and straightforward that it will be be-
lieved"

Only A Grain of Sand.

A man who had for years carried an old and
cherished watch about him, one day called
on its maker, and told him that it was no
longer useful, for it would not keep time cor
rectly.
"Let me examine it," said the maker and,
taking powerful glass, ne looked carefully
and steadily into the works, till he spied just
one little grain of sand. "I have it." said
he, 81 can get over your difficulty"
About this moment, by somo wonderful
but unseen power, the little grain, suspecting
what was coming, exclaimed "Lst me alonel
I am but small thing, and take up so little
room, cannot possibly iujure the watch
Twenty or thirty of US might do harm, but
cannot; so leave me alone |"
The matchmaker replied: "You must como
out, for you spoil my work, aud all the more
SO that you are SO small, and but few people
can see you"
Thus it is with US, whether children or
elders-one lie, one lust, one feeling of pride,
vanity, or disobedience, may be such little
one that noue but ourselves know of it.; yet
God, who sees all things, knows it, and that
one sin, however little it may appear, will
spoil all our best efforts in his service.
