HORSE NOTES.

We understand that the Saratoga Racing Assoca.
tion have concluded TO have two meetings year
the 10th Of June and the other on the 18th Of
August. Alterations and improvements In the inte-
rior OF the grounds are also contemplated, one Of
which is TO adapt it to steeple chasing on magnl1
cent scale by the erection Of walls, the creation Of
bitches and such other appendages as will make 1t
in reality what viii purpOrt to bea stecple chase
course. There will be race OF this nature at every
meeting in the future by way OF variety and to lend
addit onal attractions to that already popular place

a nnppy moment in the lives Of pubic men in this

begin to enjoy for the first time general popularity
unabated by partisan jeaionsy aud suspicion. This
was the condition OF both Webster and clay for q

Justice Chase seems to aspire to this position now,

LIMA, August %, 1859.
The alarm respecting the approaching earth.
Quakes, or rather those phophesied by tho German
astronomer Fab, is the Increase. Ever since the
representations Of this savant were published in
the newspapers here any number Of refutations,
written by the most scientific men in Peru, have
been made public, yet the popular agitation ls con-
rnually gaining ground. From correct astrono-
mical observations 1t has been definitely discovered
that the earth in the last days Of September will be
nearer the sun and moon than for great number
OF years past, and the influence exercised
by those planets on the waters concealed in the
earth and on It's surface will be correspondingly
augmented. Hence, despite the attempted refuta-
tlons there is some reason to believe that eXtraord
nary movements Will occur, although 1t Is to be
hoped that these countries viii not experience that
total destruction threatened by the Able Fab.
Moreover the very fact OF this gentemans religious
profession increases the weight attached to his
opinions by the more ignorant classes OF the COM
muDty, and the feeling OF uneasness though gene
raj is not 80 strong as that positive alarm existing
among the lower portion oil the people.
AdvIces from the South inform that on the
morning OF the 10th inst. q shock Of an earthquake
was experienced in AIIca, even more severe than
that which ruined the town In August OF last year.
yet from the fact OF the already dismantled condi
tion OF the town no damage was done Or indeed,
no damage could be done. The sea fortunately re-
NAMED quiet, though all Of the people, fearing an
invasion Of the waves left the place and took refuge
on the adjacent hills. In facna, the city of which
africa is the port forty miles inland the movement
was senslbly felt, and the Inhabitants abandoned
their houses ana sought the little tents and huts
that IN anticipation OF the calamity foretold by Falb
had been erected in the vicinity. This intelligence
only Increases the lnQuetude felt here, and many
persons are already making preparations to leave
the city and live IN the valleys neaI by during the
days which are TO witness the catastrophe The
government Is taking energetic measures to prevent
the improval OF the possible confusion by the awess
streets day and night The gas Will be cut OF, IL
prevent fires and indeed, every precaution IS being
adopted in view OF the highly unpleasant state ol
affairs tnat according to Mr. Falb, may ensue.

MURDER In THE DARK.

Supposed Death from vielence-The BODY
Identified as that Of a Wnichman-IteIatives
Deny the Identity.
A mysterious and somewhat remarkable case has
been brought to the attention OF Coroner Keenan, at
his Office in the City Hall. About nalf.past six
O'Clock yesterday morning the remains Of q man
nearly seventy years OF age were found floating In
the water Off pier l North river, by Captain Todd
and his oflcers in charge OF the police boat The
body was taken ashore and laid out in Castle
Garden. DR.. Shine was called and on examining
the body found that deceased had bad cut on the
top OF the head besides which there was fracture
of the left jaw and the base OF the skull on the same
side, and on the chin was an incised wound two
inches IN length.
subsequently Peter Murphy. employed at Castle
Garden and living at 416 Greenwich street, saw the
BODY and positively identified IL that OF Michael
Neihl, night watchman employed on pier 80 North
river and living with some relatives In aight street,
two doors from the corner OF West. Murphy. who
had known Neih Intimately for twenty years, was
willing to make an a1ldavit II necessary as to the

would take the trouble TO so to Castle Garden and
view the remains Deceased was about five feet Six
inches In height, with profuson OF thick gray hair
and heavy gray whlskers. He was dressed In dark
blue pants dark sack coat and vest muslin shirt
and good boots. The body evidently had been the
water only few hours. From partial examine
ton OF the body DR.. Shine thinks 1t almost impossi-
bic that the wounds on the head could have been
caused by coming in contact with some hard SUBJ
stance while In the water and believes they must have
been inflicted before death. Not few believe that
the deceased, In the discharge Of his duty, came in
collision with river thieves, who murdered and then
threw him into the water. Coroner keenan, yester-
day afternoon caused the body to be removed to the
M0rgue, where Wooster Beach, M. d., will make
post mortem examination, which may result in
showing whether the wounds received were indicted
before or after death. In the meantime Captain
Todd, or the Harbor Police and the members OF his
force actively engaged in searching for testimony
which may unravcl the mystery at present SURROUNDS

CONTEMPLATE MALICE.-The IRteli-
gencer takes the ground that Kennon,
charged with the murder of Sipe, of
Cambridge, Ohio, and recently tried at
St. Clairsville, was acquitted for politi-
cal reasons, the jury being Democratic.
This, we take it, was one of the instan-
ces in which the MteIhgencer thought
editorial ccnsurc would be useful" a
statement of the facts will show the
ueanness and malice of the charge.
The leading counsel for the State, in the
KennOn case, was Republican, Taylor,
of Cambridge, and of course a Demo-
cratic Jury could not be "packed" under
his supervision. The jury was made mp
of Democrats and Republicans, in about
equal proportions, and the juryman who
held out longest for conviction was a
Democrat. A newspaper must be hard
up for political capital and unusually
malignant, when it thus outrages fact
and decency for contemplate partisan
purpose.
